sale cheap and on good terms.
WITH these parting injunctions we
submit the case to the jury of intelli-
gent citizenship.
THERE is no hate in this campaign
against Sol. Simpson. He is general
ly liked personally, but the loggers
and farmers do not consider that he
has the other qualifications essential
to make true representative of their
interests. That is all, and it is enough.
The benefits of cheap labor. One
good man at $50 per month, less board
at 80 per week, and the employer holds
One-third back. Two cheap men to
perform same labor ut $50 per month,
board $40 per week, draw-down two
thirds. Net profit on cheap labor, 500.
F. ID. SHELTON, the Republican can
dldate for surveyor. has had consider
able experience in surveying lines and
laying out county roads, and can ham
die transit i'll fair shape. Being, as
far as we can learn, as we'll qualified
as either of his opponents for county
work.
The JOURNAL has said enough
about the Republican candidates; they
are we'll known, all OF them are re-
spected for sobriety, integrity, ability
and hard work. Nearly ali are tax
payers and will be an honor to the
county and credit to the people, if
they are elected, from VIM. Callow for
Representative, down the list.
If the tax paye:s of Shelton and
and Pickering want safe, conserva-
tive, able, economical and fair County
Commissioner, they should elect Mr..
Specie. He is a farmer, a tax payer
and represents the district outside of
Shelton-this place is on the ground
and can take care of itself. Speece is
a mar without an enemy-everybody
friend.
IT is with small regret that we take
up our pen and write ourself an--(see
bum-ling) but circumstances over
winch we have some control force us
to do it just once, because there is no
campaign committee" to perform
the sacred duty for us. will our
readers consider the gravity of the
occasion and forgive so much
"campaign," for this expiring effort"
TO the Democrat and Populist: The
worst that can be said of the anti-ring
ticket is that it is Republican. But
bear IN mind that there are worse
traits IN man than Republican princi-
pies. II the man be true, he is worthy
OF respect. Unless there is a united
stand against ring rule, they will con-
tlnue to rule, and if you don't "stand
IN with the gang, your name is Den
MS. Vote your state ticket and show
your principles, but vote the Republi.
can county ticket and "pulverize" the
unholy alliance.
The people of Mason County want a
bank, and the JOURNAL did all in it's
power to induce the establishment of
the present institution. The people
still want bank, but do not want a
combination to control their politics or
county business. While the journal.
regrets that it has been forced to Cd
pose this combination, the same as it
ana oppose the Old one, we are assured
that the people will not brook such in
reference or attempted domination.
inns paper has always been found
lighting for what it believed To hc
right and best for the people, regard
less OF the personal interests Of is
owner. We have always endeavored
to treat our opponents fairly and
truthfully, and ask that our course in
tins campaign be Judged by the past.
Now is the election. Let the con.
selentlous voter, whether democrat,
popniist or republican, pause and re-
fleet on few suggestions: Why are
the gang flooding the county with
liquor and spending money lavishlv
None Of them are especially noted for
generously y tAei- private Or business
ne, Aor 10 they Usually let 90 of a
dollar until they are reasonably sure
OF big returns. They do not USUALLY
waste much on workingman, or nav
HIM more than they are forced to.
Every taxpayer should quietly ask
himself what they are doing it for, and
then "sleep on it" and he will proba-
bly, tumble" to the fact that there is
reward somewhere and that reward
bodes no particular good to him. The
logger and the other workers who paw
taxes might go through the same
course and reach similar results.
FOR all the frenzled efforts of the
expiring combination, and their boast
ing, we believe, from information
gathered from all sources, that the
combine will be showed under so deep.
that none of its devotees will ever bur
row out again, and it will be aavarn-
ing that the people will not tolerate
sordld combinations. The ringste1s
VINO formerly manipulated the Repub-
llcan party have been dropped, and are
now lighting our ticket on that ac
count; We will have the support of
good democrats and populists in the
ratio OF at least ten to one to make
good this "defectiOn," and now every
republican will put his shoulder to the
wheel, and work for each candidate
Iherc is no "kicking," every thing is
