to change figureheads and keep the

12 years.
No sir, they didn’t vote against
policies and tariff walls and pro
hibition; they just wanted to see
another face in the White House.

We certainly can lay no claim to
being political prophets, but our
assertion before election that this
section would go about three to one
for Roosevelt in the face of claims
of victory by the republicans, was
borne out in the final count, 538 j
Roosevelt votes as against 260 for
Hoover. Figure it outl—less than
one-third of the votes cast for the
pair were for Herby.
3 ne other day we drove up over
the old Jacksonville hill road and
ogled the neatly arranged piles of
garbage, tin cans and refuse de
posited just above the city limits
on the highway. And thereby rests
a lesson in human nature.
One’s back yard isn’t even safe I
from rubbish if it isn’t constantly
policed and watched. Animals have
more respect for others of their
kind than some humans display.
Miner Wields Teriffic
Influence in Politics
Unlike some southern Oregon
newspaper, which were snowed un
der in the election held a week ago,
The Jacksonville Miner, standard
bearer for the Jacksonville and Ap
plegate country, emerged from the
fray bearing the shining crown of
public approval and support of its
policies.
And one of this paper’s candi
dates, boomed for a write-in flurry,
went over with a bang when the
returns were tabulated in Ruch pre
cinct.
Ed Coffman received a vote!
Unheard of politically until this
paper got behind the young man,
Ed was thrust overnight into coun
ty-wide prominence when some
faithful subscriber wrote in his
name as constable of the Jackson
ville district.
“Who is this Coffman that seems
to have so much political appeal?”
asked the political powers of the
section. “And how does he rate
such
unanimous approval—with
that one voter?” Frankly, they have
been worried. But Ed just smiled
and said, “Dang it, I’d of got an
other vote if I’d remembered to
register.”

We have been warned of the dan
gers lurking just ahead if we adopt
the democratic way of doing things
If we depart from the republican
policies and practices of Hoover we !
are doomed to destruction—we are
told.
Although County Judge-elect Earl ■
Fehl will disagree with us, we be
lieve he should pay the Mail Trib
une his respects and thank it for
his easy election. It would seem
that the independent candidate who
came out to “save the voters from
Fehl" defeated his own purpose and
made the battling editor’s election
a certainty. Not satisfied to learn
their lesson in the primary, “The I
Gang” (as it is called) spilled the
beans a second time.
