CATiDWKLL AVIHTKS LKT- Tuit Kxi'rai.i.(j ins posi tio.v ik i:m:cti:d. My dear sir: A few persons linvo criticised mo for running as nn Independent cnn dldnto for tho ofllco of prosecuting nttornoy, clnlmlng thnt I should liavo been n PARTY NOMINEE. It Is nn admitted fnct thnt tho offlco of prosecuting r.ttornoy Is NOT A PARTY OFFICE. My worthy op ponent, Mr. Georgo M. Drown, de clnres In his lotter addressed to tho voters on tho 8th day of April. 1012: "The offlce of prosecuting attorney Is tho MOST NON-PARTISAN of all public positions." Tho ofllco which I seek, being, therefore, non-political nnd non-partisan, It would be useless to run ns a party candidate for this of flco. I will promise, hero nnd now, thnt If elected I will give this dis trict a better administration than It over hns had. I will also prom Iso to roduco tho crlmlnnl expenses of tho county at least 75 per cent. I will accomplish thls,( not by any lessening of tho ofllclency of tho ofllco, but by stopping tho useless expenditure of tho people's money. Just to glvo you nn example of what I mean: If a boy 10 years of ago is convicted for somo slight infraction of tho law. and Is bv tho court paroled, nnd said boy hereafter breaks IiIh parolo nnd goes to tho Stnto of South Dakota. I will not spond ?300 or $100 of tho county funds sending tho sher iff to bring tho boy back, In order thnt ho inny be sent to tho ponl tontlnry. I will let him Htny In South Dakota. If somo Irresponsible person, llko Ed Rose, should chnrgo mo with suppressing ovldenco In nn Import ant trial, llko tho McClollnn ense, I will not hold tho grand Jury for n week, at gront oxponso to tho pcoplo, for tho purpose of framing a grand Jury roport vindicating my ofllclal acts. If tho directors of tho Rosehurg browery aro Indicted for violating tho local option lnw. I will not linvo n SPECIAL TERM of tho court cnlled for the oxcluslve pur pose, of giving theso directors n SPECIAL TRIAL. I soe no renson why tho directors of the brewory should bo entitled tn n SPECIAL TRIAL nt a SPECIAL TERM OF THE COURT nnv more thnn any body olso; bosldes tho enormniiB nddltlnnnl cost Is n matter of groat consideration. If a rnmplnlnt U niiulo of a violation of tho lnw at somo point In tho county far dis tant from tho county sent, I will not subpoena n lnrgo number of wjtnossos to como to mo nt Roso burg, I will go to tho pluco whoro tho complaint cnino from and mnko the oxnmlnntlou thoro. An Investi gation thnt costs $200 under tho prosent svstoni will bo inndo by mo for $i0. Tho tnNos paid by tho cltlzous of Douglas county last year amounted to tho enormous sum of $070,000. I do not bollevo anyone will bo honrd to sny thnt wo recolved n corresponding bonoflt for this vnst sum of monoy. I do not charge nil this to tho ofllco of tho prosecuting nttornoy, but tnoro nro somo vory important leak boles that can bo stopped from that offlco. It hns been chnrged that Mr. nrown Is a member of a "Court IIouso Ring." I liavo no proof of such n ring, but If such docs exist, I nm not n inoinbor of tho chnrmed circle. As stnted In my declaration of principles: "I nni wholly Inde pendent of any ring, cllquo or clnn." This stntonient Includes both tho brewery and tho Anti-Saloon League. I bellevo that my oxporlenco with tho criminal law Is Just as brond as thnt of Mr. Drown, nnd I think my capacity nnd ability for law enforcement Is Just ns great ns his. You will remember thnt four yenrs ago Mr. Drown published n porsonnl letter In all tho Coos and Douglas County papers to tho ef fect that If tho voters would glvo him ono moro term ho would re tire. The ono moro term which ho bogged for has expired. A man's word should bo good for something even In politics. I deslro to hero state In this connection, without reserve, thnt. if elected nnd nfter hnvlng served ono term. I will not ngaln bo n cnndldnto for any of flco unless my record for Imnnr- tlnllty, Incrensod efficiency and economy lead tho taxpayers them solves to urgo my continuance If nfter considering tho existing conditions nnd tho promises I linvo made of their Improvement, you bellevo a change In the offlco of prosecuting attorney would bo benoflclal, I shall appreciate any efforts you may mnko In giving mo an opportunity to mnko good. Kindly preservo this letter, for If elected, I will Invite your criticism. Sincerely yours, W. W, CAnDWELL. (Paid adv. by J. "VV. Flanagan.) (Paid Adv.) Llbby COAL. The kind YOU have ALWAYS USED.

My study of tho legislative needs of tho Stato and of this district has determined mo that, if olected, I shall endeavor, In addition to tho genornl mntters sot out in my plat form to promoto special legislation, uiung tno following lines: Tho general appropriations of the Inst leglslnturo exceeded $5,000,000 nnd there Is n crying need that proper systom bo introduced Into tho handling of this vast amount of monoy.

The present election lawa aro tho result of numerous different ennct ments passed during a series of years, and should bo simplified and codified so that whllo preserving tho safeguards to tho ballot the expense would be lessened and elec tion officials and voters allko could readily understand the requirements of tho law, Tho game laws should bo simpli fied so as to bo readily under- jbouli 1 ?..ff d ?:JS Ejy cmcondtlonsof ry counties, tJfMlieoi--game therein, the Mj, huntoS and togg-ij There Is at P so:tf T.'ier automobile - I'lll 1ITII M. a w - aiFirkl ' a w Bhould ree tins mono, ..-- .. g jor , vlded to t he cowwi tenanco.. of their rfe,M Vl fh.1 r5- 0t roads therein. bB,4 pe'- Tho IsWature w, j, Uo Congress on ijtfi taking P W W bin ricultural lands tn Jo the building or &. fSIcned) .iUiuame"0 (Paid ao TAI1 Tho 'am!?vrrfl TIB. wnri""
