Saturday evening there was nothing unusual about the copies of the Mail-Tribune which circulated in Ashland and Tal ent. At the bottom of the front page was a two column war picture and Ashland readers were not aware that the picture of our boys in France was run to cover tho festering scar of one of the dirtiest political jobs against a popular candidate that the conscienceless brain of Political Boss George Putnam could incubate.' ' Here is what was printed in double column at the bottom o the first page of Saturday evening's Mail Tribune which was circulaled in Medford and vacinity in an effort to defeat G. A Gardner, who is the popular candidate for County Judge. Read it and judge of its dirty infamy in attempting to arouse com munity rivalry falsely in the hope to encom pass the defeat of Mr. Gardner who re fuses to bow to the will of the selfcon stituted Dictator of Jackson County. (Here's what Georea Putnam nrlnt-rt In tho Sn ford edition of the Mail-Tribune, but in the Ashland edition left it out and filled the space with a picture of our boys In Franoe.)
