DIVIDED, WE FALL
FIVE meii rtrc waiting for election news front Oregon.
Hero nro their nnnies:
Woodrow "Wilson.
William T. Bryan.
Robert !M. La FolloUe.
.Franklin K. Lnno.
Robert L. Owen.
If you are a true American you will know whom they
are. If you are intellectually honest, von will admit they
are the great, progressive leaders of this nation, who are
leading tho great contest in this country for a change of
economic conditions that will give the people of this coun
try equality of opportunity that will forever put au end
to the power of a man or set of men to destroy the capital
and business of other men for profit that will forever
terminate tho legal right of men to rob and steal the earn
ings and savings of the American people by such plunder
ing organizations as the JS'ew Haven railroad or the steel
trust that will put an end to the extortion practiced upon
the American people in the unjust profits of the trusts and
monopolies and usurious interest rates.
These men have asked the people of Oregon o( elect
Senator Chamberlain.
Do you believe, they are honest men? Do you believe
they are sincere men?
Will you grant their request?
Will you give them Chamberlain to help them in their
great work?
There are others waiting for election news from Ore
gon. Hero is a partial list:
The Steel Trust.
The Sugar Trust.
The Lumber Trust.
Tho Coal Trust.
The Standard Oil company.
The Woolen Trust.
The Money Trust.
The Southern Pacific company.
The Water Power Trust.
You know whom they want for senator you know it is
Mr. Booth. Do you think your interests are identical with
that list? Will you give them Booth to help them in their
great work for humanity?
There are others waiting for news from Oregon. Their
names arc:
Colonel O. "R. S. Wood.
Thomas W. Lawsou.
They want Mr. Ilanley for senator from Oregon to help
Woodrow Wilsou. No doubt they are sincere. f they are,
should not Mr. Wilson's choico'in the matter have some
weight, especially with his friends, for such both these gen
tlemen claim to be? If Woodrow Wilson has chosen, it
should be enough for his friends.
'Twos ever thus in the past; must be always so in the
future.
Will those who oppose liberty and .-justice always find
the lovers of liberty and justice divided and be able to
live forever in power because of such division ?
What excuse lias an honest man who believes in Wil
son and La Follettc, for opposing the verv man they ask
for?
Why imperil the chances of his election?
WHY ASK VOTES FOR IIANLEY WHEN A VOTE
FOR ILVNLEY MEANS A VOTE FOR BOOTH, AND

office. A wealthy retired morohant, for many years man
ager of an immense wholesale business, he will bring to the
county business a most valuable experience.
.1. F. Uittson has made good as chief of police in Med
ford and will undoubtedly satisfactorily fill the office of
sheriff, if elected.
Leo Jacobs for recorder made a good record as county
clerk several terms ago and is too well and favorably
know to need comment. 'No fault can be found with his
opponent, Chauiiccy Klorey, and the selection becomes one
of personality.
For treasurer. S. I. Urown has (he. advantage of an ex
tended business experience.
VOTE FOR TOM KAY
Witliycombe and the O. A. C.
AMONG candidates deserving of support in .Jackson
county is Tom i. Kay, who seeks re-election as slate
treasurer. Mr. Kay spent his bovhood in .Jackson county,
where his father conducted the Ashland woolen mills. For
many years subsequently he traveled annually over the
valley purchasing wool, .lie is familiar with the growth
and development of the county and has always shown his
friendliness in his official capacity.
When M iv Kay was a member of the state senate he
championed the Crater Lake road bill and the Ashland
Normal. As a member of the state highway commission
he has been instrumental in guaranteeing state aid in high
way construction, and .Jackson county's share this year ap
proximates $70,000.
Hut it is not upon Mr. Kay's friendship to .lackson
county that his re-election should be based, but upon his
merits as an office-holder. U every sense of the word he
has made good. His record is one of efficiency.
Although the business transacted in tho state treas
urer's office during tho last two years has amounted to :W
per cent more than during the biennial term preceding his
election, yet it has been done at practically no increased
cost to the state. As an evidence of an economical admin
istration Mr. Kay will turn back to the state over $1000
appropriated by the last legislature for the running ex
penses of his office for the last two veal's an unheard-of
procedure.
Mr. Kay as state treasurer serves on the boards and
commissions which transact state business, and no state in
stitution on whoso board Mr. Kay acts has ever had a
deficiency. Such faithfulness deserves recognition from
the public.

THE following are given for the purpose of showing the
prices for farm products under the Dingley tariff and
republican administration and the present prices, based on
Chicago markets:

Wheat, winter $0.G4V
Corn .40'
Barley .vlfi
Rye '.01
Oats 29
Beeves G.25
Hogs t 4.90
Butter .' 25
Those given for 2900 were the prices at the end of the
four years of McKinlcy's first administration. The aver
ago increase is over 40 per cent in favor of democratic
times.
Of course, no one but a "mutt' would claim the tariff
fixes these prices, but in the face of them, what becomes of
the standpat-Booth-Oregonian argument that tho Under
wood tariff is ruining the Oregon farmer?
Yesterday the Orcgonian 's market page shows eggs in
Portland quoted at 28 to 42 cents; in Chicago, 17 to 20
cents. The Oregonian should advocate a tariff against the
"pauper" eggs ot Illinois.

HPIIE voters of southern Oregon will view the Normal
JL school measures on the ballot from the broad staud-
pdint ol their importance to the entire state cud not from
the mere local advantage to southern Oregon, and thev
will vote for both the Eastern Oregon State Normal school
at Weston as well as tho southern Oregon school at Ash
laud. $outhem Oregon, andespecially .Jackson county, has
a consistent record pf supporting overwhelmingly all edu
cational iustitutionsrsupporting them loyally nsa matter
of principle.
It is tin'; ropulhtionWloing things as a matter of prin
ciple that gives southern Oregon its certificate of charac
ters the most progressiva section of the state and shows
in marked contrast the spirit of the northern part of this
state.
.Tackson county is a progressive county. It wants to
go forward; it wants every section of tho stale to go forward.
Dixon, a Jackson County Boy
To tho Editer:
R. A. Rooth in his speeches eulo
gized most highly A. C. Dixon, tho
present manager of tho Hooth-Kolly
Lumber company, speaking of him ns
an Ashland boy. Mr. Rooth caused
quite an Interest to bo aroused in this
paragon ot corporation ideals. It is
true that Mr. Dixon grow up In Ash
land and this eulogy also'drawa at
tention to some closo affiliations with
the. Southern Pacific that might not
do Mr. Rooth any particular good
among tho masses of voters.
Mr. Dixon married a schoolmate of
his, an catlmablo young lady, MIbb
Carrio Herrln and by that alllanco bo
camo tho brother-in-law ot William
F. Herrln, tho brains and political
head of tho Southern Pacific railroad.
MIbb llorrln received her finishing
education at tho homo of her fam
ous brother in San Francisco. Sho Is
his favorlto sister and Robert Rooth'
good opinion of Mr. Dixon Is only
exceeded by that of Mr. Herrln.
Mr. Herrln has for joars been es
tablishing his brother-in-law so that
ho will bo a credit to his protege and
Mr. Dixon's relationship as well as
his capacity as a Rooth-IColly master
was not overlooked in Its possibili
ties by Robert Rooth In tho construe
tion of his great fortuno, slnco that
fortuno got Its first rlso through
frlonilly freight tariffs, railroads
built to his mills, tho purchauo or
tho 70,000 acres of O. & C. land grant
on credit, as well ns political In
fluence and commercial prcstlgo and
financial power.

The New Chaperone
ON LOCAL CANDIDATES
TIIE MALL TRIBUNE hesitates to make recommend
tions regarding various local candidates, as'most of
tlio aspirants lor olliee are personally known to the voters,
who make their choice largely from personality, as party
politics does not and should not govern.
For state senator, JT. von dor Hellon has the advan
tage of six years' experience in the legislature. He stood
for those things that Jackson county was most interested
in and made a good record. He supported Governor West
in his efforts for welfare legislation and almost uniformly
voted to sustain his vetoes. He was tho only senator vot
ing to sustain the veto of the swamp land steal bill. His
defeat would be a mistake.
Vov representative, Miss Towne, the first woman can
didate, deserves election. The other candidates are W. P.
Mcnloy, representing tho progressive republicans, and
JjYed I), AVagnor, tho republican regulars.
For county commissioner, Frank J I. Madden is by all
odds ono of tho best qualified men that over sought tho
(From the Portland Journal.)
Observers havo been Interested In
tho clrcumstanco that on his trip for
tho speech at Astoria, Dr. Wlthy
combo at Astoria, Or. Wlthycombo
was not accompanied by Mr. Rooth.
Tho person to whoso supervision Dr.
Wlthycombo was committed for tho
Astoria trip wuh Wallace McCamant,
attorney for Wells-Fargo and other
corporations.
Mr. Rooth chaperoned Dr. AVlthy
combo to Hlllsboro on tho occasion of
tho famous speech at that placo in
which Dr. Withytombo said:
Oh, my frlonds, think of our for
est wealth; ono sixth of all tho tim
ber in tho United States is hero, but
Senator Rooth is to speak, lio will
toll you all about that,
Tho surmlflo is, that after thut
break, Mr. Rooth has bo coin o skit
tish and doesn't want (p bo In tho
neighborhood any more, whoa tho
doctor Is in action, Tho under
standing is, in fact, that every
body from the Orogonlon towor down
to tho office boy In tho Wlthycombo
licudquarlors has tlio JIiiiJuiiim every
tlmo tho doctor unllmbors for n talk.
As tho doctor said at Ashland, and
lHowhcro, "Orogon is u gioat state
Itn tall trees point to tho heavens and
Its rivers flow to tho sea."
Indeed, thoy do, and It's no won-
