hero four yenrs ago and nssumed editorial chargo of Tho Coos Day

not been lost to view. Ono of these Ideals wns tho dedication, of Tho
Times to tho people of this city. That Ideal haB boon renllzed. 1 have
tried to build up where 1 could nnd tear down nowhere. It hns over
been my purpose to help, not to hinder tho events of material nnd mo
ral progress. 1 havo nlways meant to write without mallco and with
tho exorcise of chnrlty. As God hns given mo to soo tho right I hnvo
been truo to my editorial trust. Mnklnfi duo allowuuco for mistakes of
JudBmcnt nnd .Infirmities of temperament, I humbly nope, nt-this time
it is In the hearts of a people generous und Just to admit some of these
things.
All these years I hnvo tol'cd nnd troubled to glvo tho people of this

Enrly yesterday morning two

tered the nnmo saloon nnd asked
of his feeling. I naked Dr. Straw nt thnt time if theso roports ho object

which they woro written tin." A yenr or bo Inter, Tho Times ndvocntcd
tho nomination of A. H. Powers for mnyor. Mr. Powers positively ro- coco

that tlmo no vital lssuo before the people and Tho Times announced

Condron nnd Hugh McLnln representing Dr. Straw nnd I repented nnd
reiterated my stntemciit.
A fnlr, 8quaro deal for every mnn haa ever been tho motto nnd tho
mothod of thin pnper. Kb columns hnvo nlwaya been open to nny
mnn who desired a hearing. Any statement thnt J. W. Dennett hns hnd
to mnko In roferonco to tho wnter sltuntion has been glvon him. Dr.
Straw was assured in tho prcsonco of frlonds thnt Tho Times was open
to him In this cnnumlcn for nnvthlnc ho desired to sny to tho neoplo
of this city. In tho oponlng nnnnuncoment of Its reasons for supporting J wns in

It. He has stntod his willingness to submit tho wnter question to n vote
of tho people but 'Mil not deny his porsonnlly oxpressed opinion ngnlnst
municlpni ownership.
During tho four yenrs I hnvo been in Mnrshflold nnd Including this
rtmp-ilgn I hnvo not spent In nil two hours' tlmo in tho company of Mr.
Copple. I hnvo spont many hours with Dr. Straw. I may not pos
ro. mnny of tho much vaunted virtues of Dr. Straw as voiced by bis
friends but that I havo some of his weaknesses, I nm willing to ndmit. So
cially nnd personally, Dr. Straw Is ono of tho most congenial nnd com
pnnlonnblo of mon. Ho hns llknblo nnd lovnblo qunlltlos. Dut tho ls
suo In this campaign Is not to bo solved nt n pink ten or a congenial
gathering of good follows whore tho ''tea" Is red. This la a question
thnt involves n vital lssuo for tho present and future wolfnro ot Murah
flold. When I came to Coos Day four years ago I expected to romaln only
n fow daye but fato and a kindly Providence provided othorwlso.
Hero I expect to mako my homo for all tho days- of my earthly exis

Inbrr nro dedlcntcd to its Bervico. I mny not havo as much monoy ns
J, W. Dennett but I think my devotion to tho development of Mnrsh
flold Is Just ns alncoro nnd nt times a trifle more disinterested.
1 nm writing this to mnko plnln the fnct thnt thoro Is nothing por
sonnl In this cnmpnlgn oxcopt whnt tho friends of Dr. Straw nro endeav
oring to creato. I nm appealing to tho reason of tho renders of this
paper who know what Tho Times represents in Its advocacy of public
policies and principles. It Is not a question of Copplo, Straw or Mc
Crary. It is a question of J. W. Dennett nnd others domlnntlng tho Blt
untlon to tho detriment of tho peoplo nnd for personnl gnln. Tho
issuo Is fnlrly drawn. Let It bo decided upon merits nnd not upon mon.
It Is n prlnclplo not n person thnt Is nt stake In this election. Thnt
princlplo la ono that la vital to tho health nnd happlnesa of Mnrshflold
homes. A prlnclplo thnt Is vltnl to Its development nnd prosperity,
an adequate supply of pure wnter thnt may bo obtained without paying
tho exorbitant rntea demanded by p-lvato franchise grabbers. It Is n
1 principle that means protection nllko for your property and your lives.
Thnt la whnt this campaign la for and those nro the lines on which it
