For County Judge.
J. G. VanOrsdel, candidate for
County Judge of Polk County, Oregon,
on the Democratic ticket, to be voted
for at the primary on the 17th of April,
1908, submits the following platform :
First I will advocate good roads
and a fair distribution of the road tax.
It is not just to collect taxes from the
outlying districts, and not give the
taxpayer his share of the road work to
make It more convenient for him to
reach market
Second. No waste of publio money ;
strictest economy consistent with a
good administration of county affairs;
a square deal and good treatment for
every one.
Third. I will try, if nominated and
elected, to work in harmony with the
County Commissioners so far as I
think is for the good of the people.
Fourth. Should the voters of Polk
County decide that I am the proper
person to fill the office of County
Judge, I will give to the management
of the business of the County the
same energetic and careful attention
that I have given ray own business.
Fifth, I believe in the Direct Pri
mary. I tnink tnts is one or me
sgeocie in the hands of each elector
to bring the government nearer to the
people, and take It out of the "boss
rule," giving us "a government of the
people, by the people and for the
people.
I will say In conclusion that I
served the people of this county from
1898 to 1901 as sheriff, and yon can

wanting, you can turn me down the
