There was no o pos.ition to the nominations made, each one named receiving the unite i vote of the caucus.

Mr. Fauerso promises, ' that if elected, he will furnish pri vate surveys at actual cost, and deal with all matters squarely. , At the primary election Will L. Doud, who is running for the office of county assessor, led the ticket with a handsome majority. He stood for tax equalization, and tax re duction wherever possible and promised a square deal to all. If -elected Mr. Doud will be a real as sessor and courteous county offi cial. Anyone having business with his office will be given the t-onsid- 'eration due and his troubles taken up and adjusted in the best possible manner. Mr. Doud i a real estate man, knows property values and will leave no stone unturned to make as- , sessments as equal as ' is possible. He will play no favorities and will given all property owners a fair, square valuation, and will also cee to, it that all things assessable be placed on the tax rolls. By so doing many who are now escaping with low valuations will be compelled to come to taw and pay their share of the taxes of the county. By nature Will L. Doud is affable, pleasant in manner and easily approached. It is against his nature to "high hat" anyone, and any visiting his office may be a sured of courteous treat ment and all the time necessary to adjust his grievance.

He will go into of fice with the idea of conducting same on a business line, not as a means of providing bread and butter but to be a real sheriff in a real county. By electing Paul Childers to the office of district attorney the people of Wasco county will have placed in office a man who will work to the end that the legal business of the county will be attended to ahead of his private practice, one who will Mr. -county court and will advise county officers in any matters that may come before them requiring legal at- A.

John Powell, who lately under went a severe attack of pneumonia, self. will have no hesitancy in casting their votes for Mr. Johnson next Tuesday. Mr. Johnson has been around the county somewhat, and wherever he has visited he has created a favorable impression and made vote3 for him- To meet the man one is at is built for it and if elected the peo ple of Wasco county will have cast their ballots for a man who will be a real sheriff, one will fill Levi Chrisman's thoes with honor and a credit to the country. This is no ballyhoo, but our honest opinion. Mr. Johnson will go into' the office without any strings tied to him He promises an economical, honest and conscientious administration of the office and all who know him also know that when (Sid) Johnson says a thing it is so, doubters to the con trary nowithstanding. Work for you own best interests, Mr. and Mrs. Voter, and see to it that your S. Johnson next that such cases be placed on trial, j In a nutshell, he will attend to the j county's buuness first, using his best judgment in everything com ing to him and will strive to make the district attorney's office some thing else than a means to increase his private practice. I Henry Scherrer needs no. intro- ' duction to the people of Wacco county. He is a native son, comes of a family well and favorably known, and is one of the most promising men of the county. He has had considerable experience in the clerk's office and is well in formed regarding the duties there of. He received one of the larga.t votes given candidates at the pri- limory election and will fulfill the duties of the office with dignity, honesty and guarantees that all fees coming into the clerk's department will be turned into the coffers of the county. Christ Fauerso is the man choren by the county court to take the place made vacant by the resignation of the late county engineer. He is one of the best known engineers and road buildes in the west and was chosen because of his especial fit ness for the position, as the road question in Wasco county is a vexed one and needs a man of ripe ex perience to straighten matters out. Mr. Fauerso is a member of the so ciety of Military Engineers, a past associate member American Society Civil Engineers and belongs to the the state and the country as a whole which makes for an able, diligent and progressive representa tive. His opponent has been grant ed opportunity to thine in political circles, but has woefully fallen down in many matters in which he might have bettered the district and state. By electing Judge Butler the people of the Second Congressional district of Oregon will have chosen a worthy succe:sor to Mr. Sinnott, one who will soon be recognized as a power in the house of representatives and who will work for everything that tends to the best interests of Ore gon and the whole country. That Mr. Butler will be elected goer with out' saying. One matter which will o-ut saying. One matter which is of importance to voters is, that at the coming election there will be two congressional ballots, one the regular ballot and a smaller one. ; It will be necessary ' to vote both ballots, for one is to mark -1 ce of a man to complete Mr. Sir.nott's term, the other for the rular term. "See to it that you ip;t both ballots for Robert R. Butler for representative in congress. We believe the above men are the best for the respective offices. In making our choice we have given close attention to the fitness of each for the Office, compared the ability of each with his opposition, and we believe we voice the sentiment of a majority of the electors of the coun ty in our support of those men.
