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

extent of their disappointment in the eyes
of such a childless couple, when they rest

In many cases of barrenness or child
