He Belieyes In and Supports State
ment No. 1 and Favors Prohibi
tion and Local Option.
Pendleton, May 25tb. To the Voters
of Umatilla and Moirow Counties.
Having, at a late day, been nominated
by individual electors of the sixth
Judicial District, for the offioe of
District Attorney, my name will ap
pear upon the official ballot as an in
dependent candidate.
For various reasons I bave found it
impossible to make any kind "f a can
vass and I desire to state to tbe public
through tbe press, tbe particular prin
ciples upon wbioh I stand.
I believe in law and order and that
all laws should be observed by all per
sons, and whenever any penal law is
violated it should be enforced by tbe
proper officers,, courts and juries.
Tbat all statutes enaoted for tbe
protection of persons, property and
good morals should be kept alive and
effeotive.
It is necessary for all executive
offloers, and especially the Distriot At
torney, to act with great caution and
discretion so as to prevent unnecessary
expanses to the county and state. The
offioa of District Attorney is neces
sarily an expensive one and for tbat
rHason tde incumbent should protect
the tax payers in every way. Taxes
ore muoh too high; there should be
retrenchment in every department. It
ia the duty of tbe District Attornev to
advise all executive officers as to what
is legal, and to prevent them from do
ing tbat wbioh is unlawful. In tbat
capacity it is bis duty to advise and
gaide the County Court in tbe expendi
tures, which tbe law imposes upon it.
The Taxes of Umatilla county bave
been increased of late years by tbe un
lawful expenditures of very large sums
of money, for wbioh reason tbe tax
payers might, if tbey saw tit to resort
to tbe courts, repudiate a large portion
of tbe existing debt of Umatilla county.
By this I refer to tbe voluntary
creation of county indebtedness over
tbe amount of flve-thcusand dollars
limited by the constitution; all of suoh
indeoteduess having been deolared by
tbe Supreme Court of ibis state to be
absoutely void, even if in tbe bands of
fnnncent pnrobasers.
' a ry possible re
be red need,
it affllli-a:e's
tions I have always stood for prohibi
tion and IocbI option and I favor State
ment No. 1.
If I should be elected as Distriot
Attorney of tbe Sitxb Judicial Distriot
I will endeavor to do my duty fairly
and impartially.
As to my qualifications I will only
say tbat I have practiced in this state
for over twenty-eight years. -
I am under no obligations to any
party, class or individul for I bave
made no promises or combinations.

Why should we do euoh a thing?
There is only one reason and that is
simply to gratify tbe personal ambition
of one man. Tbe principle involved
iq this eleotion is too big for any one
man to be considered, and every re

In 1897 I had a disease of the stomach
and bowels. Some physicians told me it was
Dyspepsia, some Consumption of the Lungs,
others said consumption of the Bowels. Ons
physician said I would not Ure until Spring, '

I ate, and in the Spring 1903 I picked up
one of your Almanacs as a poor emaciated
Dyspepsia wreck will grasp at anything, and
' that Almanac happened to be my life sorer.
I bought a fifty cent bottle of KdDOL DYS

from that bottle ALL THB GOLD IN

taking it and in two months I went back to
