O. P. Cosliow, democratic candi
date for United Stnto senator, va-
born at Brownsville, Oregon, in 18(5.?,
where his fnliier settled in 3S51, and
his mother, who was a daughter of
Uncle Billie Cochran, settled in 1S4S.
He was educated in the public schooN
at Brownsville, high .-chool at Port

where be lived for nearly three years.
Later be moved to MuMiunville, Yam
hill county, Oregou, and practiced law
there for nearly five years. In 1S97
he moved to Itoreburg, Oregon, "where
by close application to business and
strict fidelity to his clients' interests,
he has built up, a large practice. In
1904 he whs nominated by tho demo
crats for state senator, and wa
elected by a majority of 272, over
coming u normal republican majority
of 1,000 in a total vote of a little over
4.000.
His democracy is of the old fash
ioned kind that expresses its es.-ence
in the sentence, "Equal rights and
exact justice to nil. special privileges
to none." He believes that this max
im should be carried into execution.
His faith in the reality of this demo
cratic doctrine was expressed in his
bill to increase the pay of juror.-..
At that tme jurors were receiving two
dollars jer day, not sufficient in most
instances to pay their expenses while
attending to their disngrccablu nuhlie
duties. While bills almost without
number were being intiodueed to in
crease the salary of officers seeking
their official positions, he pressed his
bill for n raise of jurors' pay to four
dollars per day so as to pay all. their
espouses at least while they were per
iormmg important public duties
thrust upon them by lnw. Hut the
jurors were not at the legislature to
press their claim, nor could they"
have paid lobby there, and the bill
was amended by the committee fixing
their pay at three dollars. This bill
is typical of the attitude of Mr. Co
show. Jf elected to congress tho spe
cial interests will not be favored bv
him, but his utmost endeavor will lie
to protect the people against the few
who beck, through partial laws, to
enjoy special advantages to the dis
advantage of. the many. Ho advocates
liberal laws for, and liberal treatment
of, tho sturdy people who are building
homes on our frontiers, and in more
generous expenditures of the funds
collected for reclaiming our and
lands. Oregon's full quoin o this
sum should be spent in Oregon.

MEDFORD'S
IT IS it mistake to say that tho present struggle for the
nomination of a county .judge for Jackson county is
an effort on the part of Ashland to strike at Medford
through the nomination of Judge Dunn. It is rather a
final effort on the pttrt of the reactionaries throughout the
county, financed by the reactionaries of Ashland, to block
progress, and as Medford has been the leader among pro
gressives, the fight litis taken the form of a cainjmign
against this city. Combined with this is the sectional
prejudice thus aroused.
There are many progressives in Ashland. Most of them
oppose Judge Dunn just as earnestly sis the jn'ogressives
of Medford do. There are some reactionaries in Medford.
They can all be found supporting Judge Dunn. The same
conditions obtain elsewhere throughout the county.
A little group of Ashland reactionaries are campaign
ing for Dunn. They are assisted by a similar group of
Medford reactionary mossbaeks. The same crowd worked
against the road bonds and have opposed every progres-
sive issue brought be tore tne people, aney maice a lot 01
noise, but don't count for much in elections.
The attitude of Dunn's supporters toward Medford is
best reflected by the following excerpt from the Ashland
Tidings, Dunn's official organ, whose publisher is can
vassing the count v for Dunn:
"Who said Medford? Med ford Medford let's see.
Looking at the map, we find such a name attached to a
burg just below Phoenix. It is a little place with very
big pretensions. The only really big thing about it is its
gall. Like the little pig, ever squealing for more, it keeps
its throat sore blustering, booming, blustering.
After a while the butcher comes along, and with one swipe
of his long knife a trick is turned silence and pathetic
dust. The butcher-man is abroad in the little burg.'
In Dunn they think they have found Medford 's butcher
but in killing Medford, "they also kill Jackson county,
and enterpriseand progress flown, -we have "silence and
pathetic dust."
But Medford is not rcadv for the slaughter.
"AWAYS A PROGRESSIVE."
UPOX the republican ballot following Den Selling's
name occurs the words "Always a progressive.
Presidential primaries. "Work industriously for Oregon."
"Was Mr. Selling a progressive when he supported Jay
Bowermau, assembly leader and stand-pat candidate for
governor?
"Was Mr. Selling a progressive when as state senator
he voted against an endorsement of the Oregon system at
the last session of the legislature?
"Was Mr. Selling a progressive when he served as chair
man of Taf t's Oregon committee to carry Oregon for Tai't
and reactionary polities? , '
If Mr. Selling was a progressive would he be'supported
by the Oregonian, the Medford Sun and all the stand-pat
papers of the state, and by Jay Bowcrman and till the old
machine leaders?
If Mr. Selling was a sincere progressive he would stand
by the Oregon system every time opportunity offered,
lie would be for La Follette or "Roosevelt instead of for
Taft.
He would be fought bv
leaders.
Presidential primaries is one of Selling's catch words
to catch votes. But Selling never had anything to do
with presidential primaries. They originated in the fer
tile brain or Ins opponent, Jonathan Bourne, a true pro
gressive, who wrote the constitutional amendment and had
it submitted to the people. This is a cheap attempt to
steal credit.
""Work industriously for Oregon." Was Mr. Selling
working industriously for Oregon when he fought the
Crater Lake road bill? Was he working industriously
for Oregon when he slaughtered the normal schools of the
state? If this is a sample of his industry, southern Ore
gon wants none of it.
As a matter of fact, Selling is the machine stand-pat
Taft senatorial candidate and as such is entitled to the
vote of no progressive in Oregon.
LA FOLLETTE'S OPEN LETTER.
ATTENTION is called to the open letter of Robert M.
La Follette to the voters of Oregon, published else
where. This is the clearest, most concise statement of the
issues of the campaign submitted by any candidate, and
indicates that La Follette has the best conception of the
situation of any of the candidates.
La Follette 's administration record proves his ability
to grapple with and solve the problems before the Ameri
can people. -In all his long career he has ever proven
faithful to the cause.
in both republican and democratic parties the fight is
between progressives and reactionaries. The progressives
of each believe in the La Follette program. The reac
tionaries of each are at heart stand-patters or rather dis
believers in so-called popular government.
Whichever party nominates the sincere progressive
will secure the progressive vote, for the voters have
learned to shuffle off the shackles of partisanship that
enslaved the m and place principle a hove party.
