' FOR COUNTY JUDO 12.
J. O. Van Oredel, candidate for
county Judgw of I'olK oounty, Oregon
on the democratlo ticket, to be voted
for at the primary ou the aeventecnth of
April, ims, will nibniit the following
platform:
First j I will advocate good roads
and a fair distribution of the road tax
It is not jmt to collect taxes from (he
outlying districts, and not give the tax
payer his ihare of the road work to
make it more eonvenient for him to
reach market.
Second: No waste of publle money j
strictest economy consistent with
good administration of county affairs;
square deal, and good treatment for
everyone.
Third : I will try, if nominated and
elected, to work in harmony with the
county commissioners go far as I think
is for the good of the people.
Fourth: Should the voters of Polk
county decide that I am the proper per
son to fill the office of county Judge, I
will give to the management of the bus
iness of the County the same energetic
and carefal attention that I have given
my own hiiHincHti.
Fifth: I believe in the direct , pri
mary. I think this is one of the agen
cies 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 eay in conclusion that I served
the people of this county from 189S to
1902 as sheriff, and you can look into
my record, and if found wanting, you
can tern me down the same as you
should any man that was unfaithful in
his trust. 1

Health Is Worth Savlmg, and Some
Independence People Know
How to Save It.
Many Independence people take
their lives in their bands by neglecting
the kidneys when they know 'these
organs need help. Sick kidneys are
responsible for a vast amount of suf
faring and ill health, but there is no
need to suffer nor to retrain in
danger when all diseases and aches and
pains due to weak kidneys can be
quickly and permanently cured by
the use of Doan's Kidney Pills. Here
ia an Independence citizen's recommen
dation.
J. R. Collins, City Marshal, living
ill' Independence, Ore., says: "lam
glad to have the opportunity of rec-
comending Doan's Kidney Pills as they
proved very satisfactory in my wife's
case, ehe Buttered lor a number of
years from a complication of diseases;
doctored but received no relief and her
health gradually ran down. Seeing!
Doan's Kidney Pills so highly recco-
inended, she procured a box at P. M.
Kirkland's Drng Store and the trouble
gradually vanished. She is now in
good health end attribute solely to the
use of Doau's Kidney Pills."
