is a candidate for County Judge
on the Democratic ticket.
The
people in this section of the county
will support Mr. Baker almost to a
man because o f the great dissatis

ministration of our present judge.

lead to Springfield from the north

voters of this precinct to lie up in

that should lie seriously considered
and from the past we know that
our repeated requests for improve

aud that roads leading into Spring-
field iu different ways are a little
better than a hog wallow. The in
terests of our present judge seems
to lie confined entirely to Eugene
and he cannot Ire made to realize
that there are taxpayers outside
the county seat that are entitled to
some consideration.
Mr. Baker is
a mau of good sound judgment,
refined, well educated aud has had
considerable experience in county

know him to be a man who will d i

Mr. Baker is practically a poor
man and is deserving o f the office,
while the present itirumlieut is in
no way de)iendenl on his monthly
salary. W e want a man who is
perfectly comjietent to fulfill the
duties of the office, and the man
who will take an interest iu the
