Leading' Candidates on Citizens9 Ticket
4t. O. Inraan, Citizens' candi
date for Mayor, ii an honor to the
manhood of his day and age.
Prolix time immemorial humanity
h as-praised the man or woman who
ha Jionorably risen, by his or her
own efforts, from penury to affluence
or from comparative obscurity to a
plaoe in the human family equal to
that now occupied by Mr. Inmaa.
He btgan. his active career among
those who "earned their bread by the
sweat of their face."
He was frugal in hia living and
habits of life, and after years spent as
a laborer on farms and in saw mills,
is -how the senior partner in the
largest lumber manufacturing con
cern on the tiorth Pacific Coast. .
The Jnraan, PouUeu & Company
' mill; located on the east bank' of the
Willamette river, in southeast Fort
' land, has a capacity of about 860,000
leet of lumber daily, and its volume of
business amounts to about 10O,0tH)
monthly. It employs about 350 men,
and its payroll is (20,000 per month.
Here is a man, therefore, that is not
, theoretically interes:ed in Portland.
He is VITALLY concerned in the
city in the city's welfare, because its .
growth is his growth; its welfare his
welfare.
Again, Mr. Inraan is a man o( great
activity. II.e may be seen here and
there and everywhere, and by actual
Observation has always been enabled
f to keepta touch with the city's needs-
and requirements.
There is a trrett deal in this. What
would be thought of the head of a con
cern having large and varied interests,
scattered here and there, who could
not percolate around among them , and
by penonal Investigation thoroughly
understand their management?
Would not a more active person
be given the position?
ii Within the past week we have hail,
itke greatest lailrart ttian oij'earth'iii1

H. B. ADAMS.
FOR COUNTY JUDGE.
H. B. Adams, Citizens' candidate for
County Judge, has been a taxpayer In
this county for 13 years. His home at
Mt. Tabor Is really a picture of the man.
Everything about it is substantial, clean
and neat, as he himself Is substantial
and clean In character and reputation.
At his home he holds the position of
School Director, and Is counted among
the leading citizens of the community.
Economical by nature, the taxpayers will
And that If elected he will conduct the
affairs of the County Court, so far as
In him lies, wtth hla home regard for
frugality. He Is a member of the law
firm of Donaugh & Adams.

ROBERT D. INMAN.
FOR COUNTY CLERK.
Those who have transacted business
with the Clerk of the Circuit Court since
Major. J. V. Kennedy took charge of the
office two years ago are likely to vote
for him next month for the office ot
County Clerk. The Major came to the
position well equipped with both business
and legal experience, having served for
a long time as manager of the advertis
ing and mall order department of the
Meier & Frank Com'pany .and in the ao
tlve departments of other live concerns
of Oregon. He has been a resident of
this state for 22 years, i great portion
of that time residing In Portland.
When admitted to the bar Major Ken
nedy passed a critical examination wltn
high honors. He has maintained a hlro.
personal character, and if the 9000 voters
who elected him last time are as true
to their colors now as they were then,
he will have no trouble In securing the
prize he seeks.
The major has developed quite a repu
tation as an off-hand speaker. He is a
leader in fraternal orders and popular
with the public. He was born in In
diana In 1858.
FOR SUPERINTENDENT OF
PUBLIC INSTRUCTION.
Parents who send small children to
the public schools will appreciate the
position taken by W. A. Wann, Demo
cratic candidate for Superintendent of
Public Instruction. Mr. Wann announces
himself as strongly opposed to "cram
ming" the infantile bruin until the child
Is almost ready for the Insane asylum.
The thought of pupils being compelled
to work in school all day and study at
home at night is so abhorrent to the
gentleman that he announces this as one
of the changes that should obtain in the
schoolrooms of Oregon. He says It Is Im
possible for 'children to carry so many
studies at one time, except at the ex
pense of health, and that, many off
them should be held In abeyance for a
little time until the small scholars haa
attained more strength.
Mr. Wann Is a man of superb educa
tion. He has for several years been a
teacher in the Monmouth Normal school
and Its secretary since 1894.
FOR MEMBER OFCONGRESS.
SECOND DISTRICT.
Col. W. P. Butcher, Democratic can
didate for Representative In Congress,
Second District, stands at the head of the
legal profession In Eastern Oregon. His
law practice In Baiter City Is probably
greater than that of any other practi
tioner In that section of the state.
Mr. Butcher is a Virginian by blrtb
and a gentleman by profession that is
to say, a first-class citizen wherever he
is found. He was born on his father's
farm in 1S5& and spent hla .youth In
school and as a school teacher In his na
tive state and State of Missouri. In 1883
he landed in Idaho with a railroad out
fit, and was employed In grading at
8aphonis. a station on the Oregon Short
Line. He abandoned this, however, for
school teaching, studying law the while,
, until 1885, when he was admitted to the
'tmt;!l Walla-' Walla, v He soon thereafter
removed to X v wra."-.-

ing elected by a pluralltyof 75 votes. In
this campaign he received practically all
the labor vote in Baker City, and tha
town was at that time at least 200 Re

the city by handsome pluralities.
From a penniless boy one whose par
ents were financially ruined by ths war
of the rebellion Mr. Butcher haa fought
his way up to a plane of affluence.
He Is a man of the people.
He is a man of energy.
He is a man of brains.
