1L MEDFOTiT) MAIL TRIBUXE. MEDFORD. OlMXIOX, THURSDAY. XOVKMBER 2. 1922 PAGE TITREE THE ISSUE IS LAW ENFORCEMENT POLITICAL CONFIDENCE f We have no confidence in the political judgment of lawyers who advise us to suport E. E. Kelly for Circuit Judge. We do have- confidence in C. M. Thomas, who is our candidate for Circuit Judge. We want a Judge selected by the people and not by the political lawyers. C. M. THOMAS C. M. Thomas, our candidate for Circuit Judge has made a record during his residence in Jackson County, Oregon, which commends him to every law-abiding citizen as the proper person to be elected Circuit Judge. lis record in the Legislature and in the State Senate and as School Director has always been right. He has always stood for law enforcement, for the enforcement of all the laws for all the people, not some of the laws against some of the people and for a violation of some of the laws by other people. K. K. KELLY. E. E. Kelly's record In Jackson County is such that no person who stood for the enforcement of the Prohibition Law could possibly support him for tha office of Circuit Judge. His entire record and especially his record as District Attorney has been and was such as to ally him definitely and absolutely as a sympathizer of the Liquor traffic and most of tha men who are going about the district campaigning for him are known sympa thizers of said illegal liquor traffic. We have a wet Sheriff and a wet District Attorney campaigning for E. E. Kelly. His campaign managers has always been wet and is so now. ! (. Ol ll APPEAL We appeal to every law-abiding citizen of both Jackson and Josephine Counties to work for and support C. M. Thomas for the office of Circuit Judge. A man in whose Integrity, honesty and good character we have the utmost confidence. A man in whom our confidence is increasing every day because of the campaign he is making, demonstrating that he is a man of clean character, judicial temperament and in every way qualified to fill the office of Circuit Judge. The campaign of E. E. Kelly and his followers has been the most mn IIcIoub and vindictive campaign we have ever known to be carried on in the State of Oregon. In contrast is the campaign of C. M. Thomas, one of the cleanest campaigns we have ever seen carried on in this stute. Unlimited Sums of money are being expended in Kelly's behalf. js We say to all the Christian people that it is their duty to lay aside at this time all other occupations and devote their time to securing the election of Mr. Thomas as Circuit Judge.

An interesting piece of news in the aftermath of the big firo of late Tuesday nifiht which gutted the MuNon-Khrnum wholesale grocery branch of this city, is that two or three car londs of ftroceries arrived this afternoon on the south bound liaHsenser train from the company's main plant nt Portland to help in re stocking the Med ford branch. Other car loads are en route or about to be started here, from various destina" tions as fast as possible on the same errand. The Southern Pacific rail road is co-operating to this end in every way possible. So far as the retail groceries of Medford and the valley are con cerned they practically do not realize that tho burned out local branch is handicapped for a time. The estab lishment, duo to fast hustling by George T. Collins, local mnnuger and his superiors at Portland and his em ployes here, was housed in its tem porary new homo in tho IJardwelt fruit packing plant, which it had, promptly leased, and doing business as usual by yesterday noon. First thing in tho morning Mr. Collins had partially leased the Guy Conner fruit packing establishment close by the burned plant and bad established -the local branch office there, but later when Mr. Collins lenrned that he could not have tho entire big build ing for use until new permanent quarters wero established, he imme diately made arrangements to lease the liardwell plant, whoso owners co operated immediately' moving their own stuff .out. This was made pos sible because of the fruit packing season being practically closed, but could not huvo been accomplished thirty days ago when the fruit rush season was on. The destruction of the wholesale grocery plant by fire did not put the plant out of business entirely be cause of the energy and pluck of the management and ownership, and be cause the plant had a considerable stock of groceries in its storage ware house and that within tho past forty eight hours tho Southern Pacific freight office is packed not only with groct-vles which had been ordered previous to the fire, and car loads of f 'ccries, a part of the standing o.tlurs of the Mason-Ehrman local branch, began arriving. Then too, the main branch at Portland began ordering supplies by telegraph to be rushed to Medford. A big uid to the burned out estab lishment in its time of great trouble was and is the co-operation of its local rival in the wholesale grocery' business, tho Medford Grocery com pany in aiding in supplying it with staple groceries. C. A. Parks, treasurer -and chief ac countant and A. H. Zinsley, depart ment manager of the Mason-Khrman company, arrived hero from Portland this morning the former to look after the insurance adjusting ond the latter to help assemble the new stock. The insurance adjusters had not yet arrived here this forenoon to begin adjusting tho losses on the $150,000 to $200,000 stock of gro ceries destroyed by fire and water, and the estimated lens of $30,000 on tho destroyed- big brick building, but they wero expected to arrive by to night. 3t la not known whether tho Mod ford Warehouse company of which Archie Ash is the head, will rebuild the structure, but Mr. Ash is nlso ex pected to arrive In the city by tonight from San Francisco to take up this phase of the matter and to look after the insurance loss and adjustments. George T. Collins said today that their further investigations of yester day into the cause of the fire leads himself and others of the company to firmly believe that it started from a short circuit in the electrical wiring. He and others present at the fire an of the opinion that the building and main stock could huvr been saved had the fire department been equip ped with aparatus to fb;ht an inside lire above the second 1 lour of the building. They also declare that the fire de partment did valiant work and all that it could have done with its equip ment and that if it had had a water tower for high fire fighting could have extinguished the fire without such a great loss. There was plenty of water and a very strong pressure. Mrs. K. H. Plckel returned this mor ning from a week's visit in I'ortland and Seaside. She accompanied Dr. Plckel to Portland last week, during which he was a spectator at the Ore- Kon-Idaho Kanie.

THOMAS Paragraph four of the statement' of C. M. Thomas as it appeared in the Medford Mail Tribune of October 31, 1922 reads as follows: "As a candidate for judge, I know that it is highly improper for me to engage in public dis cussions, either from the platform or through the public press, or in any other manner, or to from opinions concerning questions that might be presented to me for decision. My convic tions upon this subject are so fixed, that I have at all tims and do now refuse to violate theih, believing that to do so would be proof positive of my unfitness." Within thirty-six hours after the publication of the above statement C. M. Thomas was the principal speaker at a meeting in the Old Opera House at Grants Pass, Oregon, and made a political speech upon the issues of the present campaign, in the course of which he stated that he was surprised that a Circuit Judge (meaning Judge Calkins) should stoop so low as to attempt to name his successor.
