TANNER IS NOT SINGING MUD.

There * one thing thar must he said
Of Captain John u, Tanners campaign.
There Is no mud-slinging about It.
Captain Tanner Is plain, unvarnished,
h0nola liable citizen, who has never In his
life enheavored to benefit himself ut
the expense of his neighl'or. He has
gone through life on his own merits.
He has made his campaigns on his own
merits, and not upon the dement's of
his opponents.
For those reasons he has been always
u winner. His neighbOrs love rs well
as esteem him, ana his character as a
public official Is such as to win him
the good will as well as the votes of
all citizens who have u preference for
good government and unimpeachable
