him. To accuse him alone of
mistakes, and not others, is cer
tainly an improper method of
conducting the campaign.
The students, who are invited
to come here from all over the
State, after their time in college
is completed will go out into the
world where many of them will
take their part in political cam
paigns." The" example set before
them by the people of Benton
county should be to instruct them
and elevate their minds.
The effective way is to vote
against such degrading campaign
methods by voting for the candi
date attacked.
Mr. Vincent has been severely
attacked because of errors ma le
when his wife was sick and al
most dying, and when every nice
citizen should have come forward
to relieve him instead of making
an attack on him in his trouble-
Mr. Vincent has been made the
victim of attack by a vicious,
ungenteel political system.; The
only way to correct the system is
to vote for, the candidate at
tacked. For this reason alone the
people of Benton county should
elect Mr. Vincent by a large ma
jority so as to put a stop to a po
litical system that every just man
should regard with apprehension.
Mr. Lane has had a. wide ex
perience and thorough knowledge
of property 'in the country as
well as in the smaller cities and
country towns. He is no doubt,
therefore better qualified than
any other man who has ever as
sessed Benton county in his abil
ity to make equal valuations of
property in ' all ' parts ' of the
county. .. -vr :.

CLEAN CAMPAIGN.
THAT OPEN LETTER.
The article entitled "Open Let
ter to the Times, published in
the last issue, of the Gazette,
was handed into the office at a
late hour, jus before the paper
was going to press. X The article
should have been signed by the
author, tint this waa overlooked
in the hurry to go to press, as
other matters had also detained
the work that day.
The Gazette is in no wise re
sponsible for the plan nor the
manner of campaigning embod
ied in the article, as such may be
inferred, because it was not
signed by the author. We have
also been reliably informed that
Mr. Vincent, whose name is also
mentioned in the article, is in no
way responsible for it as he did
not know that such was to be
published.
lne article seeks to compare
mistakes of T. T. Vincent and T
H. Davis in their work respect
ively in preparing the tax roll,
While this method of campaign
ing may meet the ideal of the
seems to savor too much, when
considered by the minds of strong
men, like the disputes of people
playing "marbles."
Every county officer who has
served the county at any time
Has made mistakes. The idea of
basing a campaign on mistakes
when every candidate now run
ning for office has made an abun
dance of them, shows peculiar
ideas and a system of campaign
ing which should be frowned
down upon by the people of Ben
ton county.
The opponents for thirty years
have waged that kind of a cam
paign. Republicans should arise
to higher ideals and make their
contests . on plans which can be
respected by the community.
After looking back for several
years over the mistakes made by
democratic office holders it is cer
tainly astonishing that such ques
tions should be pressed from that
side.
That system of campaign in
Benton county should be done
away with by the voters casting
their ballots for the candidate on
whom the attack is made.
Mr. Vincent was called upon to
It is gratifying to know that
the republican candidates have,
so far as known, made a clean
campaign, not accusing their
neighbors on ungenteel grounds.
A positive agreement was made
with leaders of the other side
that none of the. piratical practi
ces commonly forced upon the
people for the last thirty years
should be resorted to. . Old ideas,
however, were too strong. Anon
ymous letters from "Alsea."
and from other sources jmust
stand as excuses for resorting to
the old methods.
Because the republican candi
dates have proved ! themselves
noble, clean men, and have re
quired thc'r enthusiastic admir
ers to resort only to clean methods
and the wellknown good qualifi
cations of the candidates it is
confidently expected that the re
publican candidates will be elect
ed. While there are good men on
the democratic ticket, some of
them, at least, have been unfor
tunate in not being able to re
quire their special advocates to
waga a clean, genteel campaign.
The time is coming when Ben
ton county will weed out and
bury to everlasting oblivion the
dirt and deadly contamination
which has started forth ghost
like, for the last thirty years at
every biennial election. It is con
fidently expected that ttr.s is the
time and that the result of the
election on the first of June will
complete the job and the people
by their votes will forever bury
the monstrous practice of malign
ing men when running for office.

ASSESSOR.
W. G. Lane, present republican
candidate for county assessor,
was born and raised on a farm in
Indiana until 19 yearsof age, dur
ing which time he secured a liber
al education. After this he taught
school part of the time and pur
sued farming, residing on the
farm until he was 3o years of
age. At this time he began de
voting more attention to teaching
school, serving most of the time
for thirteen years as principal of
graded schools in the country
towns of Indiana. During all of
this time Mr. Lane had an intri
cate knowledge of the values of
property alike in the towns and
in the country.
Mr. Lane left Indiana, coming
to Oregon in 1891, settling near
Corvallis. About six years ago
he sold his home near town and
has since resided in the cityi
We, the undersigned business
men of Corvallis, Oregon, believe
that a liberal support of higher
education is the only policy con
sistent with the best interests of
our state and that particularly
at this time when thousands of
homeseekers are looking toward
Oregon we cannot afford to adopt
any other policy. We favor the
increased appropriation for the
University of Oregon and earn
estly urge the voters of this. com
munity to vote "yes" at the com
ing election on the measure in
creasing its appropriation. The
vote upon this measure will in
a sense determine the policy of
our state toward higher educa
tion and this community, the
home of the Agricultural College,
ought to go on record by an
overwhelming vote as favoring
adequate support for our educa
tional institutions:

Mrs. Marble after the death of
her husband went to Mr. Stone, a
dealer in headstones, and consulted
him in reference to an inscription.
She said, 'Put on it, 'To my dear

room left, 'We shall meet in heaven.'"
Entering: the cemetery and going
to her husband's grave, she noticed
the headstone and qiuckly rushed to
see how he had engraved it. The
poor- old widow's heart beat with
pain when she read the following on
the headstone : "To my dearest hus
