for at the nrlinary on the seventeenth of
April, will aubmit the following
platform :
First: I will advocate good road
and a fair distribution of the road tax
It I" not jmt to collect taxes from the
outlying district, and Dot give the tax
payer liii share of the road work to
make it more convenient for bha to
reach market.
Second: No waste of public money ;
strictest economy consistent witti a
good administration ol county affair;
square dual, and good treatment .for
everyone.
Third: I will try, if nomlnateJ ant

will give to the management of the bus

cies in tlie hands of each elector to
bring the government nearer to the

people, by the people, and for the
people.
I will nay in conclusion that I served
the people of this county fiom 189& to

1 be people of Oregon ripream d by
their adoption of the primary law and
Statement No. 1. w bat they thoujfbt of
machine method. The old ayalrtu
hud brought Kliame and diegrace upon
the atale had made tbe city of rait m
alnioet a (iomorrah In the way of
political wlckedneha. Paper and perl
odlcala and iiewnpapera of liatiobal
clreulaliou pointed to our atale aa one
of aodden Dolltlcal corruption, of dis
graceful ecaudate.
It la la the hope of reviving tbia old
method by the defeat of Statement No,
1 and of Mr. Cuke, that the machine
politician have atarted aucb a bitter
crunade against thi new law. Indeed,
It I t hlr only hope. Under the pres
ent KvBtem. ibev are without a job. It
la impoaaible for one dictator to ait in
hla office aud say what shall and nil all
not be done by the people of Oregon
No longer la a aaturualia of bribery
aud corruption possible at 8alem.
Evidences of tbla boatility on tbe
part of tbe "system" have been appar
ent In various towns where Mr. Cake
haa apoken during bla present itiner
ary. Large crowda have flocked to
bear bim, but conspicuous by tbeir
absence, were tbe old-time leaders
And In thi connection it la a fact
worth mentioning that most of these
antagonistic politicians are either office
holders or have some claim upon thoee
who are at present lu office.
Tbe people who are rallying to Mr.
Cuke's staudaid are those republicans
who are Intensely loyal to their party
but wbo resent any aucb dictatorial
methods as tbe old niacblue was wont
to use.
It Is a foregone conclusian that State
ment No. 1 will prevail In Oregon at
the coming election. It is a foregone
conclusion that Mr. Cake, the only real
active supporter of this measure, will
be elected if tbe republican voters of
this slate d their duty and there Is no
room for doubt but that they will per
form that duty.

"One Touch of Nature Makes
the Whole World Km."
When a rooster finds a big fat worm
he calls all the hens in tbe farm yard
to come and share it. A similar trait
of human nature is to be observed
when a man discovers something
exceptionally good he wants all his
friends and neighbors to share the
benefits of his discovery. This is the
touch of nature that makes the whole
world kin, This explains why people
who have been cured by Chamberlain's
Cough Ttemedy write letters to the
manufacturers for publication, that
others similarly ailing may also use it
and obtain relief. Behind every one
of these letters is a warm heaj-ted wish
of the writer to be of use to someone
else. ' This remedy is for sale by P. M.
Kirklaud. ;
