Tired of the waste of public time at taxpayer expense In futile Investi gations of Imaginary grlevanoes, tax Tlctlm of this waste are seeking to stabilise the county law administra tion by electing a candidate who Is not Involved in the contention and whose vigor of personality will enable him to deal decisively with the troub le-msken. William M. Briggs of Ashland, re publican nominee for district attorn ey, served two terms In the Oregon legislature.
