PICKLED SANDWICHES I N CHICAGO a man ' recently WHY THE CITIZENS' LEAGUE FAVOHS I. S. SMITH FOR MAYOR AND WHY A VOTE FOIl I. S. SMITH IS A VOTE FOK PKOGKESS AND A DOLLAR'S WORTH OF VALUE FOR EVERY DOLLAR EXPENDED. Who Is I. S. Smith? I. S. Smith Is the nominee of the Citizens' League for the office of mayor for the City of Marshfleld. He Is one of our leading citizens and business men, being Identified with various meicantlle Interests on the Bay. By dint of persevering application and energy, he has secured for himself an honorable competency and a solid reputation. A man that has been honored by the citizens of Ore gon In the past, faithfully serving his constituents as sheriff and mem ber of the legislature, one of Ore gon's native sons, whose whole life has been spent In the confines of the "beaver or sun set state." A man of practical experience, a ship that has safely gone to sea and returned to port with a full cargo, a man of stronjr Individualism, which makes and keeps the respect of all who In tlmately know him. A vote cast for I. S. Smith for mayor on December 7th, will be a vote cast for a man of right living, high thinking, and ener getic action. He has the ability to act I nc mnvnr nf ATnrshfiplrt nnrl If elpp.t- liHnnrrli mitt fM .1 l.f rtlA fTolofr ' .UUbUfc U.W -,--" ed win his wite ana in ine complaint it was set forth that his wife nialiclous ly and wilfully refused to 'make for him a certain sort of pickled sand whlch he dearly loved for lunch. It is said the judge listened to the evidenco with much patience and then summoning the two"' parties be fore him lectured them In .this wise: "I will give you just thirty days," he said to the woman( "t6 learn to make that pickle sandwitjh; and you," turning to the husband, "thir ty dayo stop thinking It is so Im portant whether you have just exact ly what you want to eat or not. You will get no dlvoice in this court, and If either of you make any trouble at home I'll have you arrested for dis turbing the peace." This judge showed a trace of the wisdom that made Solomon famous. It Is doubtful If he could have Im proved his "findings" unless he had decreed that the man should make tho pickled sandwiches and the wo man eat them. If divoroefe were les3 easily obtained there would be fewer of them and the world would be the better off. i ROAD IS VERY HAD. Itoscliui'K Jlon Hutu Ilnriouliig Ex perience On Trip. The Rosoburg Review says: "Robt. E. Smith nnd Joseph Murphy returned Thursday fiom a very dis agreeable trip Into tho timber on tho west side of tho mpuntain on tho Coos Bay wagon road. Tho tor llflc downpour on Monday, which precipitated landslides and falling trees, kept them confined In a cab In. At daybreak, on Tuesday, they started back up tho mountain and so gieat was tho havoc wrought by tho btorm that it took thorn until 1:30 In tho afternoon to traverse tho dis tnnco of three miles. Upon leaving the cabin, they took along only hnndnxes. Tho mountain road was blocked by at least a dozen slides and Innumerable trees, 'and these prolonged their Journey" by compell ing tho into make detours on tho mountain sldo. Mr. Smith says tho scenes wore tho worst of their kind thnt ho over saw. Ono rock that blocks the road Is about 60 feet In diameter, and many of tho fallen trees nro from 1 to 8 foot thick at tho baso. Telephone and telegraph wires are ontnngled In tho prostrate poles that onco supported them." do so independent of any clinue or faction. The best material is what Marshfleld wants for mayor. We want progress and our candidate stands for that. We want that every dollar expended shall receive a dol lar's worth of value In return. We want no favoritism In dispensing contracts and the public funds. We want the city run on a business ba sis. We want useless and unneces sary expenditures restricted. We want a fire limit that reads alike to all. We want healthy competition In all city work. We want ability and services in commensuration to salary paid. And above all we want a square deal all around. I. S. Smith stands for all these. Now, then, vo ters and taxpayers of Marshfleld, do you want to vote for a man for mayor of Marshfleld who Is of pa tient purpose, resolute working, and steadfast integrity, if you do then cast your ballot for I. S. Smith on December 7th. His mature years in the business world gives him the ne cessary experience such as Is and I will bo needed for the successful di rection of our city affairs during the next two years. Marshfleld, we be lieve, is on the eve of a greater pros perity, with such prosperity will como new questions and such ques tions will have to be handled with wisdom and Integrity. I. S. Smith Is just the man of mature experience to direct our course. A man who makes a success of his own business, If mor.-lly and intellectually qualifi ed, is a sate man to trust with our business. A vote for I. S. Smith Is a voto for progress, a vote for good government and a voto for the right man. Some one hns said "that labor and experience Is the best test of the energy nnd ability of men, and furnishes tho necessary training for practical wisdom." Wo havo before you a candidate for mayor In I. S. Smith that has this much needed training In practical wisdom and If olected will make tho best mayor Marshflold has ever seen fit to honor to thnt position. Voto for I. S. Smith for mayor of Marshflold on December 7th and you cast n vote for progress. CITIZENS LEAGUE. Have you lost nnythlng? Try Times' Want Ads.

Editor Times: Two years ago, Mayor Straw and Councilman Sav age were elected by a handsome majority to serve the city of Marsh fleld. That they have done so In a most satisfactory manner, and have "made good" is an indisputable fact. That they have enhanced the city's valuation and placed It In the pro gressive list of cities In the state of Oregon Is another Indisputable fact. By their street improvements, they have made It possible to see the tires of the vehicles when they" came in contact with the street surface, In stead of the hubs. They have put the city on a cash paying basis; but it took a special election to float the bond issue and the reactionists were the ones that blocked the proposed issue at the regular election, but seeing their mistake, polled a big majority for it at the special election. Elections jj cost money, and the special election jj on the bond issue was not without A price, and the expense of It should not be charged up to the present' I administration.
