Each of the seven candidates for

producer for a-long time and Is on'ment as to where he stands on all
a paying basis, with bright promises
for the future. A talk with Mr.
Crouch shows that he has faith in
the country in general and in cer.
tain mining properties In particular.
Speaking of the Almeda mine, he
ba3 this to say to the Oregon Ob

municipal matters. Here is the plat
form on which one of these goes be
fore the public:
"In my candidacy for mayor I
have cut loose from all politicians,
rings and factions, and stand for the

no party, no ring, no clique. I am

Definite plans are formulating for

Mr. Crouch Is a reliable gentle-!
man and a business man of exper-j
lence. He certainly brings good news'
from the Almeda which will be ap-l
predated by hundreds of the read-1
rs of The Courier who also have!
faith In the mine. That it will be- j
come one of the great producers of J
the Pacific coast as soon as It hasj
the advantage of the required trans
portation no one acquainted with
the properties will for a moment
doubt. At the present time the
mine and smelter are being worked
successfully but, as Mr. Crouch says,
what la needed is to be able to
give the city a clean, progressive ad- j
ministration. It Is my firm belief j
that 'politics,' as the same has been
carried on in the past, has gone far j
enough. Such 'politics' has Injured
the city irreparably. It has degen
erated Into mere personalities and
has been used, largely, in a spirit
of revenge to pull down rather than
build up. It Is about time, I believe,
to subordinate politics to the public
welfare. And lf elected one thing Is
certain: I shall not allow the city
government to be used for political
purposes or preyed upon by any
kind of graft.
IN COMMISSION FORM OF
GOVERNMENT.

' government needs men more than
BOMB METHODS OF ELECTION it needs platforms. With good men,
platforms are needless; without
good men they are useless. And,
therefore, as to the question of my
fitness for the office, and the man
ner In which I will discharge Its
duties and responsibilities, I refer
the public to the record of my pri
vate and official life. If such does
not recommend me for the office I
do not deserve to be nominated or
elected."
I One of the candidates for commls

ment:
These are the days when cam
paigns for city elections are going
on in hundreds of small municipal
ities throughout the United States.
In many of these places, commis
sion forms of government have been
provided and the first election un
der this form will soon take place. '
In most places, the nominations are j
numerous and consequently the
ticket is much longer than under;
the old style of charter. As an II-

"Miller-Made" Clothes
with their ordinary cleverness of line, their elegance of fabric and their skil

smart style, but who also conserve their finances, are looking at or wearing
these unique garments.
