Polk County Observer J. C. HAYTER, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER. tVioltahed Weekly at 11.50 per Year. Strictly in Advance. DALLAS, ORKGON, JUNE 1, 19C6 The way to build up Dallas is to pat ronize Dallas people. those who elected him. A vote for Dr. McCalloD is a vote for a man who is in heaity and complete accord with all the principles that Republicans hold dear. A vote for his opponent is a vote for one who is in every way op posed to Republican doetrtnes, and who holds dear not the principles of Democracy, but the vagaries of Mid-dle-of-the-Road Populism. CertaiDly no true Republican will hesitate long in choosing between these two candi dates next Monday. BLINDLY PREJUDICED With a prejudice amounting to fanaticism, Editor Lyon of the Inde pendence West Side, attacks every candidate who is not shouting himself hoarse for Statement No. 1 of the direct primary law. It matters not what his qualifications for the Legis lature may be, If he will only fsdorse Statement No. i he is capable of repre senting the people nd no other man will fill the bill, according to the Independence editor's idea. Honesty, ability, position on questions of National and State importance, and all other qualifications that go to make a suitable candidate for the Legislature, cut no figure with this frenzied writer, who is riding one lone hobby in the present campaign. Pretending to edit a Republican newspaper, he has steadily fought the nominee of his party, and has given every aid and comfort to those who are seeking the defeat of the Re publican candidate His loud boasts of conducting a straight party paper fall flat before the course he has pursued in the campaign justdrawing to a close. Without a shadow of an excuse, he has steadily fought Dr, McCallon, merely because that gentle man did not sign Statement No. 1, which the primary law leaves to the candidate's judgment to sign, or not sign, as he may see fit. With abso lutely no regard tor the honest opinions of those who do not happen to agree with him, he has sought to force his own opinions upon the party, with the threat of helping to defeat its candidate if it does not bow down in submission to his will. In his blindly prejudiced fight for the people's choice, ho has really been guilty of fighting against the people's choice, for it must be remembered that Dr. McCallon was nominated by the votes of the people in a free and fair contest. Had the people been opposed to the nomination of Dr. McCallon, they would have defeated him at the primarios. The very f&ct that he was chosen, proves beyond question that he was the people's choice. Had the people desired otherwise, they would have voted him out of the race. Mr. Lyon does ill when he opposes the man chosen by his party, in a fair contest, for this office. No one will blame Editor Lyon for his belief In the righteousness of statement JMo. 1. This Is a rrco country, and every man has a right to his personal opinions. But after making an Inglorious failure in his effort to induce some candidate to run on his pet platform, and after the fair and square nomination of a worthy and competent candidate by his party, he should have ceased his attacks and lined up in support of the people's nominee. No mart-Is bigger than his party, especially when his party has expressed its will by just and honor able methods. Hon. B. F. Jones, who favors State ment No. 1, was a candidate for Joint Representative, and was successful in the primaries.'' The writer of this article was opposed to Statement No. 1, but at no time did ho ever think of saying a word against Mr. Jones' candidacy on that account, or any other. Nor did ho ever hear from the large element in the Republican party opposed to Statement No. 1 a single word against Mr. Jones because of that gentleman's position on this Statement. No one questioned Mr. Joiies' sluoorlty for an instant, and all freely accorded to him the right to his belief. Knowing him to bo an honorable, capable man, and a repre sentative citizen, a sufficient number of voters gave him their support to place him in nomination. Mr. Jones handsome vote came from the ratiks of those who favored Statement No. 1 and those who did not favor it, for the reHsou that the voters recognized in him a man who was capable of repre senting them creditably and honor ably. Statement No. l was not the tost then, neither will it bo in the June election, when Mr. Jones will receive the unanimous voto of his party. Dr. McCallon is a loyal and able Republican, standing squarely for the principles of the party as practiced by that peerless Republican leader, Theo dore Roosevelt, and, as such, is en titled to every Republican vote in Polk County. He is a clean, able man, and will represent his county with credit to himself and credit to John Teal's record as an officer dur ing the four years be was County Commissioner is his best recommenda tion for re-election to that important position. The reHiilts of his good work are seen in every precinct in the county in the shape ol good bridges and improved roads, and the evidence of bis financial ability is manifested in the fact that the county debt was reduced $100,000 during his term, without neglecting any important im provement or materially increasing the burden of taxation. A great big whole-souled, honest friend of every body that's John Teal ; and the voters,' irrespective of party, are going to put him back in the County Court again just to show that they appreciate what he did for the county when he was in office before. M. D. Ellis, the Republican candi date for Sheriff, has made a fair, honorable campaign for the office, and should be given the solid vote of his party. He pledges himself, if elected, to enforce the laws as he finds them on the statute books, justly and with out favoritism. He has lived in Polk county since his earliest childhood, anil his record has been that of an enterprising citizen and an honest man. He is in every way qualified for the office to which ho umpires, and would give the people a capable, busi ness-like administration, and the people of Polk county would never have cause to regret the election of Mark Ellis to the office of Sheriff. While Governor Chamberlain is making his claim that he has reduced taxes, it should be borne in mind by the taxpayers that the amount levied this yeat for state purposes is $623,000, to all intents and purposes as much as at any time in the past indeed more, if the amounts which the stale is now receiving from indirect sources are deducted. Facts are stubborn things, and the figures do not back up the Oovernor'sextravagantclaims. Woman's Trials. The bitter trail in a woman's life Is to bp ciii!fi!os. Who can Ml how hard the Ptriijrirle mil v have ! n ore she loitrnt to its1"!! liiT-'i'lf to hor lonely lot? The ab SMM.ee -of liiis link to bind marital lifo togi'ilier. the aiweiipe of this one pledgo to mutual alTection is a common iii.-ii'r-poiiiMnent. Manr unfortunate couples become pstrancecl thereby. Even if tl do not drift apart, one may read the whole extent of their disappointment in the eyes of such a childless couple, when they rest cn the. children ol others, lo them the largest f a mil v does not seem too numerous. In many cases of barrenness or child lessness the obstacle to child-bearing is easily removed by the cure of weakness ou the part of the woman. Dr. 1'ierce's la vorite Prescription has.Wn the means of restoring health and fruitfulness to many a barren woman, to the great joy of the household, lu other, hut rare cases, tho obstruction to tho. bearing of children has been found to lie of a surgical character. but easily removable by painless operative treatment at the invalids' Hotel and .sur gical Institute. Buffalo, N. Y., over which Dr. Pierce of the " V avonto Prescription' famo presides. In all cases where chil dren are desired and are absent, an effort should be made to lind out tho real cause, since it is generally so easily removed by proper treatment. In all the various w eaknesses, displace ments, prolapsus, miianimation and ue bilitating, catarrhal drains and in all cases of nervousness and debility. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the most eihcient remedy thatcan possiblv bo used. It has to its credit hundreds of thousands of euros more in fact than any other remedy put up lorsale through druggist: especially for woman's use. The ingredi ents oi winch the "favorite rrescription Is composed have received the most positive endorsement from the leading medical writers on Materia Medina of al the several schools of practice. All the ingredients are printed -in plain Emjlinh cn tho wrapper enclosing the bottle, so that any woman making use of this famous medicine may know exactly what she is taking. Dr Pierce takes his pa tients into his full confidence, which he can afford to do as the fnrTnil.a after which tho "Favorite Pnw-riiifion" is made will bear the most careful exam ination. a Dr. Dust ana Sdicst laxative ii vomea.
