The charges hi themselves arc so absurd and ridiculous that they do not merit a reply, Jt has been charged that I am tho "ringleader" in "the Medford gang," that I have dominated the county court for the past four years and helped to "loot" half a million dollars of the taxpayers' money. Cartoons have been printed depicting "the gang" shoveling out the shcchcls and doggerel rhymes conveyed tho same idea, while edi torials so heavy that they dropped of their own weight spilled the spleen of the snarling scribbler over the com munih. My life record is an open book. Neither in the five yeai that I have lived in JMedford, nor in the years pre ious, has it been tainted with dishonor or corruption. T have never been consulted by the county court re garding policv or work. T have never proffered any sug gestions to the county court. I am not responsible in any way for its actions, i am not, and never have been, direct ly or indirectly, interested in any contract, nor do T own any property 'that has been benefitted by work done except as all property in the count has been benefitted. No one has ever beeiTgiven employment upon my roquest, for I never made such request. In five yell's, I have been before the court about half a dozen times. These appearances were as a public spirited citizen, nearly all in connection with the Crater Lake high way, with the turning over to the county for completion the Flounce Rock grade built by public subscription (for which T helped raise the money) and with the establish ment of the convict camp, (winch T was instrumental in securing). One appearance was in behalf of the Ashland armory. I did not appear in behalf of the Medford bridge. The Mail Tribune's relations with the county consist in being the official paper and printing the court proceed ings and delinquent tax list, as provided by law for the paper of largest circulation. The delinquent tax list was also published in 1911 in the Ashland Tidings and in 1912 in the Med ford Run No matter who comprised the county court, the Mail Tribune would have had to have the work, as the paper of largest circulation. Full detailed account of county expenditures ywas printed this year the first time the law has been complied with. "Whether the money was wisely spent is a matter of opinion. It shows that all parts of the count' have been benefitted. Uowever, I had nothing to do with it. As a newspaper man, I ran down eveiy rumor of graft, without being able to find any. The contractor who built tho Rogue river bridges became bankrupt constructing them. An export examined the county books and found them straight. Could this havo been the case if half a million dollars had been looted? Two grand juries, one with Ira Shoudv of Ashland as foreman and one with R. J. Edwards of Ashland, foreman, inspected the expenditures and found vouchors for every thing questioned, spent time in running down complaints and reported affairs O. K. If the treasury had been loot ed, wouldn't they have reported it? None of the moliey spent was spent in Med ford. None of the public spirited citizens assigned to membership in this mythical gang" got any of it. I have been maligned as the arch-cue'my of Ashland. I have fiven freely time, energy, money and newspaper snace in Ashland's behalf whenever called upon. When through the inefficiency and helplessness of State Senator L. L. Mulit of Ashland, who was supposed to look after local interests in the legislature, Ben Selling and others were needlessly permitted to kill the Ashland Normal school, at the request of the Ashland Commercial club, I and other Mcdford citizens spent a week at Port- A Rogue River This la a string I have been harp ing on for lo thene good many years. Could I in justice, say to my wife, You are not my equal, you can't vote?'

' U. 1 POimAND, Secretary. When the initiative bill to re-establish the Ashland Normal was before the people, I championed the measure vigorously in the editorial colums of the Mail Tribune and did what I could for the bill's success. The almost unanim ous vote of Mcdford and this portion of the county showed the effect. When Ashlaitd wanted a eouhty appropriation for its armory, I signed the petition, championed it editorially, and as a member of the executive committee of the Mcd ford Commercial club endorsed it and appeared before the county court in its behalf. T also signed the petition, and gave editorial support to the request that the county purchase or acquire by con demnation and abolish the toll ioad over the Siskiyous above Ashland. Does this look as if I was an enemy of Ashland? This "looting" of tho county treasury of half a million dollars is alleged to have been done during the past four veal's. Four years ago the county court was composed of Judge 0. W. Dunn. Joshua Patterson and the late George Brown. These men, then, must have been parties to the 'looting." In January, 1909, Judge Diuin And Mr. Brown retired and were succeeded by Judge Neil and .fames Owen. For the next two years, or until January, 1911, the court was dominated by Joshua Patterson with whom Mr. Owens al ways voted. Tbese men must then have also been parties to the "looting." In January, 1911, Mr. Patterson retired. George L. Davis, the first Medford man ever on the board, took his place. In the "looting" that occurred in that year, Judge Neil, and Commissioners Owen and Davis, must have been parties. In January, 1912, Mr. Davis was succeeded by Frank Brown of Eagle Point, who is also thereby made a party to the "looting." This year, with no Mcdford rpresentti tion On the hoard, the first appropriation voted in ten years for Mcdford, tho bridge, was allowed and enjoined by Benton Bowel's. The truth is that all this talk of the "Mcdford gang" and "treasury loot" and all this outrageous slander, is campaign clap-trap, sounding brass and tinkling cymbal to arouse prejudice and enable the coterie of Ashland poli ticians, who for so many years controlled countv politics and did nothing for Ashland around the pie counter and vegetate. To this end, men who have labored unselfishl' for the progress of tho valley and who are in no small degree responsible for the rapid growth and development of the past few years, aro sacri ficed to slander. The billingsgate is sluiced through an Ashland paper, whose editor had not been a month in the valley before he began the appeal to prejudice and discord.
