Tho verdict of tho people at. tho polls means much for the present and futuro of this city and community. It Is not ohougn to defeat the Dennett nmcndnicnt It Bhould bo overwhelmingly benton. It Is not enough to rebuke tho obstructionist nnd renctlonnrv mavumnni of tho Southern Oregon Co, but It should bo crushed beneath wnlirhf. of ballots that will settlo for all tlnio tho progressive policy of tho people of this community. Tho Times bollovcs tho voters of Coos Dny nro too In telligent to be deceived nnd decoyed by the demngoglc nppenls to their pnsslon nnd prejudice. Tho work of thcSouthcrn Oregon Co. is too con spicuous; tho results of their policy are too apparent nt.EmpIro with Its beautiful site, nnd silent snwmlll to permit such n company through Us hired attorney to hoodwink tho people Into a botravnl of their own oest interests. Tho only fenr thnt Tho Times hnB Is thnt through confu sion of tho two propositions on tho ballot and possibly misunderstand ing tnem they may bo mlsmnrked. Indlfforohco or understlmntlng the Importnnco of tho proposition may also keep mnny from tho polls. Every man who hns n homo, n dollar's worth of property, or a dny's Inbor In this community Is vitally Interested In tho result of tomorrow's oioctlon. Every man has something at stako. Every laboror who dopends upon his day's toll Bhould go to tho polls and voto No on tho Dennett amendment becnuso It means so much for tho futuro prosperity of this community that It bo defeated. Every man who tolls with his hands knows that work and prosperity depond upon a contlnunnco of improve ments. The effects of tho do-nothing policy of tho Southorn Oregon Co. Is In ovdenco in Empire. Thcro's not much doing for InborcrB In that place. Wo do not want them to extend that policy to tho rest of Coos Day. Tho futuro development nnd pngress and prosperity of this cnttro community depends upon tho defeat of tho Dennett-Southern Orogon Co. nmcndnicnt tomorrow nnd tho success of tho Port proposition. You will find theso two propositions on tho botton of tho ballot Just ns they nro printed under tho cartoon on another pngo of Tho Times. Hero Is tho way your ballot should bo marked for tho continued progress nnd prosperity of Coos Day. NEW YORK STATE IS CLAIMED BY DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS MRS.
