CANDIDATES ANNOUNCEMENTS What Those Who are Asking for Of­ fice Have to Tell You. e (Price 15 cents an inch, each issue.) To the Voters' of Polk County. I take this means to further announce myself as a candidate for County Assessor at the general election, November 5th. I feel thoroughly competent to take up the duties of the office and respectfully invite you io look up my record and if you believe me worthy of your support, will thank you for the same. Have been Clerk of my home school district, No. 19, for several years, Deputy Assessor for sev­ eral years and point with pleasure to the handsome majority of votes given me, in the precincts where I have assessed, over both my opponents for the primary nomination. If elected, I will serve you with courtesy, and will do all in my power to make the burden of tax as light upon you as it is possible for me to do, GIVING TO EVERY ONE a fair and square assessment. Respectfully, ARTHUR ALLEN. Paid Adv. Why Should a Woman? Why should a woman be born, educated, married, di­ vorced and buried under laws made exclusively by men. The right to govern is conferred by the governed and the governed are not exclusively males, the governed are men and women, for women are responsible before the law. Why, if we desire to be just and fair, should we not al­ low the women to exercise what should be an equal right with man.

OLD GLORY OR THE RED RAG Nightly on the streets of Portland loud-mouthed agitators blaspheme the name of the Lord and curse the St ir Spangled Banner. They are reaching out into the smaller communities and it may be your turn next to contend with them. Read and Vote No. 370 in Voters Pamphlet. Assaulting the Dignity of Labor High salaried agitators are constantly assaulting and maiming the honest laboring men of Portland who are unwilling to divide their earnings with these leaches on the decent labor element.
