Just two weeks before the election this paper said: “The editor of the Herald is registered as an independent Republican. One development of his independence is the belief that Mr. Hughes stands no more chance of election than a rabbit.” It seems that the belief was well found Crimson King Brand California Peaches, 2 cans 25c ed.

Of one thing there is no doubt that the people had made up their minds to “clean out the court house.” So “they done it.” It reminds one of the time when the Populists swooped down on Coos county, and Dal Cathcart alone was left to tell the tale. Having no opposition he was el ected on the Republican ticket to the office of surveyor. At this time Tom Ditnmick remains in the treasurer’s of fice for the same reason, and every one is glad. Ray mond E. Baker also escaped, and this is very fortunate for Coos county schools. The Herald can claim neither credit nor “otherwise” for the result. The only candidate that we especially boosted was hopelessly snowed under. However, we have the satisfaction of the reflection that we said nothing unkind about those who have now been placed in the position to hand out an occasional piece of county job printing.
