.As a candidate for the office of mayor of this fair city,
L wish to mako tho following statomenti
I entered tliis race at the earnest solicitation of my
many friends and after careful deliberation on the matter.
I am in the race' to win, and believe that all honest mem
will vote for me ad the principles I. represent
I believe that Mcdford should have the best officers
that are possible to get that men should4 be elected to fill
office knowing, that when tube get those offices thoy will
be required to 'fill them in a creditable manner. 1 believe
that the interest of the many should be served instead of
the interests of the few that politics should not enter into
a city government that progress should be shown, at all
times and yet that expensnes should be kept as low as pos
sible that the honest majority should rule at all times
that only those lhcn properly fitted to fill certain offices
should be appointed to those offices and that no graft
should be allowed to entenr into tho city affairs at any
time.
1 am a republican always have been one and will re
main one for a long time I hope. I am. running on an in
dependent ticket in this election and have the assurance of
a great many friends that I will be olected.
I have held several offices, and wherever I have been
I have made godd and can show a clean record. I can give
to this city the kind of administration the, majority of cit
izens would desire.
I do not hang around the saloons do not cater to them.
Still I believe that if the majority should express a wish'
to see them continued, I will do nothing to hinder them
as long as they keep strictly within the law. Iff any should
violate the law 1 will do all in my powfcr to see that they
are punished, and if they poiwist in violating the law F will
strive to sco that their licenses are revoked.
I believo that I can fill tho offico of mavor in a mosti
creditable manner. that I can save tho cit' money that
I can insure more harmony that there will be less cause
for dissatisfaction than ever before that every interost
that deserves to be served will be served in the very best
manner.
I am not pledged to prohibit jonista or saloons, to cliques
or interests of any kind and have no frionds who are seek
ing office.
My only object in running for tho office of mayor is
this 1 wish to sec that, the city government is run as it
should, be, run. There is but; one way to riuYthis city, and
that is on tho square. Can anyone state that it has ever
been run that way? Hasn't it been run more for the spe
cial interests than for the interests of all? Haven't one.
class of citizens been favored while the other and many
times better class been ignored? "Who are the real rulers
of this city? The people should rule, and if T am elected
I will do all in my power to see that ..the people do rule.
pTf'you want the people to rule you, you should vote forme.
Will Appoint Advisory Board.
If elected to the office of mayor, I propose to appoint
an advisory board, which will consist of at least seven rep
resentative citizens. Before appointing anyone to office
T will call a meeting of this advisory board and consult
with thorn as to who is the best fitted to hold tho several
offices. I may not always know who is the best for the
offices to bo filled, and by advising with representative
citizens T am sure to recommend the best mon. In this
way L will bo compel lod to go according to the wishes of
the people and will not bo running a one-man affair or
dealing out appointments to friends or relations. Not that
1 do not feel capable of choosing the right man, but that
the people may be sure that everything is being done for
their best interests.
Respectfully,
E. R A. BITTNER.

OWNER
.-
Enables us to offer what- we honestly believe is the best
bargain in a producing orchard in the valley. There are
35, acres in tho tract and itfis only amilofrom a shipping
station.
There are about ,11 acres in apples, Bfcn Davis, Wincsaps,,
Spitzonbcrgs, Newtowns. Trees- are about 20 years! oTfti,
They are m good condition and produce heavily. - 4 T J
Thore are also about 12 acres- in. standard variotiesrof
peaches in full bearing. About; 8000- orateV of? peaches , ,
wore shipped from this orchard last year. " u ' l .
There are also 8 acres plantcd'to Newtown apples, which
were three years old this winter. . . - -
Tho balauco of the land is, cleared and was in grain'lasti
year. , : . ..
The builclings consist of1 a house, barm and packing
house. m 0 . ,,
We. think'.a reasonable estimate of tho crop' on tliis place
this coining year would bo 3000 to 4000 boxes of apples'and'
C000 to 8000 crates of peaches.
A team of horses and a full equipment of machinery goes-'
wtih the place.
The price is $15,000, a trifle more than $400 an aero. Tlur
terms asked are half cash, balanco easy. If ' you cannot'
meet these terms as to tho cash required, make us an offer.

true library atmosphere to a room. If you want your
ceiling, book-shelves and fireplace to harmonize with tho

Well Made Wainscoting
is pleasing to all tastes. In wall pappr every pattern is
beautiful to some and ugly to others. Wall paper has
to be frequently renewed. Wainscoting; properly mado
and seasoned, outlasts the house, and in the long run, is
cheaper. That's tho kind, we make. Let us quote you
r
prices.
