To the Voters of Klamath County;
In order to relieve thu mind of the
taxiwijpm and other Interested parlies
In Klamath county with reference to
thi county tlortlou as far as the
fount)- judeshlp I concerned, 1 will
say tha I feel highly honored at hav
iiik been appronrhiMl by so many tax
mers lu ihn county, wl.lrli have lu
eluded members of all political par
t as well as people who have been
sdvUlltled with dIOerent factions, to
accept the nomination for county
j'tdge In the coming election.
lu every Instance tho peoplo who
I Me approached mo on the subject
Icalsled that I owed It to the county
to uiukrt a sacrifice, of my tluio and
money hh well as devote my talents as
a huslnoKs man to straighten out our
cnuity troubles.
I fully renlUi that I owe n g.'ea:
deal tc Klnmttn. .ounty, for tho .-'iv
sn thai I have ic.ilnw'. my hejtijt
sln' coming .it re nlli.ough 1 hnvu
made tunny Itnanclitl sacrltlces since
coming here by soiling my Interests
lu Cnnndn, 1'lorlija, Illinois, Indlaun
tnA lu Xoith Dakota, and In some In
stances I realised only 20 per cent
ivhnl they actually cost me, In
to eel all my capital invested nun
county 1 expert to make my home.
I hnvo alWn)B taken an Interest In
ever) thing that came up which tended
to be no tit the town nnd county, nnd
lmt at present a great part of my
time Is devoted to matters thnt cou-
cum tho public at large, mid of no
imnnrlal lutorost to me, other than a
prlvnte rltUrn, and 1 will gladly con
tinue to do whatever 1 can to furthor
the prosperity of tho county at large,
but 1 will not accept tho nomination
of county Judge lu tho coming elec
tion lor tho following reasens:
First Tho county's financial con
llllou lx lu what I call a deplorable
stnte. Her warrnutB being In llttgu-
Hon In tho circuit court of our county,
as well as tho federal courts of tho
Htnte, mid nu I ntn Informed that un
der tho Inws of Oregon thero Is only
one decision that can bo expected, and
thnt Is that tho warrants are Illegal;
nnd therefore null and wold, And as
n genernl consequence It will put
Klamath county, and particularly the
county court, in n most disgraceful
PohUIou for sotno years to come. And
no matter who Is elected to look after
tho comity court matters In tho fu
ture, whether the present Judge suc
ceeds himself or has a successor, tho
county court will have to take the
brunt of tho unfortunate state of af
fulis, and I am. not prepared to shoul
der tho criticism.
fecond It Is my understanding
that tho warrants wero enjoined on
iiccnuut of unwise investments, paying
(extravagant prices for work done on
! county roads, bridges and culverts,
'nnd the gross cartlessness In tho mat
ter of handling county funds getter
'ally on the part of the present county
court. We do not know that any of
'these charges can bo proven before a
'competent tribunal: however, from
n business standpoint, I contend It
I matters not whether the county re
ceived full value In tho labor or ma
'terlal, or even 25 per cent of the
value, of the warrants that havo been
(iMturd, sho ought to pay her outstand
ing debts contracted by the county
court, as Its members wero elected by
'the people. Therefore, tho taxpayers
inre nt fault, and are llablo for all
;dehts contracted by their representa
tives, and every warrant should be
paid, unless absolute proof can be
j produced showing that some of the
J warrants were secured from the court
.inrougu irauu.
i Third I will i give Just one more
reason, nnd that Is, If I wero craxy
enough mf-"ept tho nomination un
der UsPrssW'Ul conditions, tt would
thnt I would not only have to
my private business entirely
during the next six months, and would
ho classed as n politician, which would
be n new roln for me to All, and one
I thnt t have thoroughly detested all
,my life, and ns I have the faculty of
calling a spade u spade, and never do-
Ing things by half, I would make
many friends (maybe) by going
against u well organised political ma-
