The fall dge of the Times is
really ami <; in fact, it is funny.
j udst think for moment how much
real interest agricultural matters
this popocratic sheet has. Its whole
source of revenue depends upon the
farmers of the county endorsing Its
candidates for sheriff and clerk.
No wonder it stoops to any tactics
that will possibly bring it vote or
two. It's wholly matter OF per-
sonal and private interest that is at
stake.
|. Let men of ability and fitness be
our officers whether it serves tue
private ends of any partisan sheet

do not turn over with every change
of occupation. The issue lis the
same now as two years ago. Only
by voting for the men who stand
for sound principles can sound

the best interests of the public and
it is for the welfare of both that this

w. H. Leeds, candidate for state
printer on the republican ticket, is
the present incumbent of this office.
Mr.. Leeds is5a printer of the old
school and has had many years ex-
perience in the work. He has
shown himself to be a careful, .cour-
teous, accommodating and efficient
officer. During the late legislative
fasco Mr.. Leeds gave pains taking
tteatieA-ta So Mork-tha WAS sent
to his Office as3he has alsoEdone dur
ing the whole term of his incum-
bency. The Wjork turned out from
the state printing office during the
past four years has been of excellent
quality, typogfaphically and other
wise. It shohld be remembered
that the careful conduct of this
office means the saving Of thous-
ands of dollars to the state. That
the office hasbeen economically and
efficiently adm nlinistered IS amply
proven by the official records for
the period Personally, Mr.: Leeds
is most admirable man; popular
wherever knbwn, and a man in all
respects thai will reflect credit on
the state wilhelm an official position
in Salem as Ewell as while engaged
in his own private field OF work.
The voters bf these two c. c.,unties
may rest assured that, when they
cast a vote br Mr.. Leeds, they are
protecting the state against any
scandels in the office of state printer
and that the printing will be done
as economically as the efficiency Of
the office viii permit.

AS TO TEE JUDGE.
KINGS VALLEY, O.

KINGS VALLEY, Ore,
EDITOR OF THE UNIoN:-I beg to
be allowed to say a few words in
regard to the race for county judge.
The Times, and perhaps Others fol-
lowing its lead, tries to create the
impression that the Office requires
lawyer to attend to its duties.
Those who have had much business
with that official, or are conversaht
with thd manner in which the q
fee is conducted, know the reverse
is true. In the past it has been
filled mostly by lawyers and they
would always, in business requiring
the advice or services Of a lawyer,
tell you to employ one. They al
ways refuse to assume the duties
of your attorney and of county
Judge at the same time, rule
which is obviously the correct one
and directly opposite to what the
Times wishes to make thu voters
believe,
Other counties have judges who
are not lawyers, who manage the
affairs of the county as well as
where a lawyer fills the Office, and
in many cases better. =
What the. voters should desire,
and all thinking taxpayers do de-
sire, is careful, me,hodieal, safe.
business man in the office as Mr.
Woodward is known to be and not
a chronic office seeker like Mr.,
BRYAN, who made a failure in the
only office to which he has been
elected. It is notorious that he has
no business ideas or methods req
uisite for managing the affairs o
the county. A man who can't
manage his own affairs successfully
cannot be trusted to do better with
public matters. Moreover, Mr.
! Woodward is a taxpayer and ou
Interests in the county are also his
while his opponent pays no ta,
and has no more interest in tn
; Ylwelfare of the nnts----..ess---SisQi57 =
payers than any othSer floating 6sel
in the county.
I have no motive in wrfSlhgy th;
as democrat or a republica'i onlS
as taxpayer and desire TO st :
the affairs of the county fairly a4i
economically administered. There
fore appeal to the common sense
and good judjment of the voters,
AMI the taxpayers especially, to
consider we'll the interests of the
county on June 9th, in not only
this but all other offices to be voted
for, and [ feel sure if they do so
Mr.. Woodward will be elected by
handsome majority.

FOR d STRICT JUDGE.

A correspondent in the Coguilze
Herald (populist) has the following
to say concerning prominent can
didate in this district:
"a. G.. Woodcock, the nominee
for circuit judge on the republican
ticket, it will be remembered served
four years as a member of the state
board Of equalization from this
district. As a member of that board
he. was instrumental in making the
large property owners of Multnomah
county pay their just proportion of
the state taxes. L will be remem-
bered how he maintained this
action of the board under the fire
of the Oregoaian.
He was also instrumental in having
the board raise the assessment Oh
mortgages in Multnomah county to
their real value and to the same
value placed on them by the other
counties. He was the prime mover
in securing a raise of 25 per cent
on the assessment Of railroad roll
ing stock in this state. In selecting
q man for circuit judge, it is the
general belief that qualification
should be above politics, and that
a judge should be in a position te
be entirely independent and un.
/ biased"

conditions which nov oxia4 aessass over,

But Notwithstanding that there
is decided majority for sound
money in our state it is vitality
important that no man stay away
from the voting booth ON the 9th
instant. If any one stay away it
will be the man Lf business, who
feels that there will be enough
present without him.
This is the weakest point in the
armor of the sound money move
ment The indifference of the in
telligent voter will lose the battle if
it be lost, hence it becomes impera
tive that he should be present and
vote, and if at all possible, devote
some labor in behalf of the ticket
that represents sound finances, ju-
dlcio is progressive government and
the cordial endorsement of the ad
ninistration in its contest with
! Spain. This is a critical point.
Oregon sets the pace for other
state elections. Let there be no
uncertainty in our position. Our
people should again speak, and that
positively on this matter of national
finances If every voter will do his
duty by casting ballot that rep.
resents his best, honest ju igment

EsiHasmoer when you vote for 3

posing ticket, no matter what ,.ur

No honest anil consistent sound
money man can give shadow of a
just reason why he should not vote
for the republican ticket. The men
are above reproach in moral, intel
lectual, business and social charac-
ter and standing.
1t is remarkably able and clean
ticket, and if the republicans of
these two counties want to show
themselves really attached to prin-
ciples and not personal advantage
let them endorse the ticket all.along
the line and thus build up a party
strong, clean and able. This is an
excellent time to begin work for
the next presidential campaign. A
successful election now is a good
start for the contest two wears

COUNTY BOLKS RADLY KEPT.

-sene few weeks ago the Tines
published the statement that tht
county owes the citv over $1lan
the exact amount not known, due
on account Of delinquent tax sales
and redemptions. 1t is the busi-
ness of the officers at the court
house to keep the account in such
shape thata citizen, or at least, that
corporation as large as our city.
should be able to find out what the
balances are and on which side of
the ledger they stand.
What does this state of affairs
mean to the taxpayer? Simply
this: two experts must be employ
ed, one by the city, another by the
county for the purpose of finding
out from a badly confused set of
accounts how much back taxes the
city is entitled to. And from our
experience with experts in the past
this means an expense of $500 to
$1,000 to our taxpayers.
Would it not be well to devote a
little thought to the matter of abil-
i.y on the part Of candidates for the
Office work that will fall to them
when elected. We pay enough for
this work. Let us have it done by

Among these is the exercise of the
