To the Democratic Voters of Jefferson

 1 am before you asking your sui frage for the office of Sheriff. I deem it hardly necessary to give you a bi- ography of myself. l was born and reared in Ark kansas, and for the past eighteen years, 1 have lived in Jeffer- son county. What education have was received in the city of Pine Bluff.
 This is the second time I have ask ed for this office. and whileI did not, on the former occasion. receive enough votes to elect me, I am thankful to my friends for the SUD- port accorded me. At the eleetionin 1896, l competed for this office with MT. c. H. Triplett. the present sheriff, who was then asking for his SECOND TERM; yet, Notwithstanding this fact, l received 729 votes. Such a vote in this election will more than elect me My prospects are bright ening day by day. Out of nine town ships on the north side of the river, in my former candidacy, I received only forty-fye votes. It was late when l announced, and l did not have time to make canvass of those townships. This time, howev- CT, have eanvassed them thorough ly, and am much encouraged with the outlook. Assuredly, I will make substantial gains in that quarter; and from a close personal canvass I am convinced that l shall suffer no

For County Judge.
Hon. W. D. JONES.

To the Democratic voters of Jefferson
 County
 I take this method of expressing my deep sense of appreciation and gratitude for the honors which have received at your hands. 1 con sider it as great an honor as can come to any citizen, that after serv- ing three successive terms in one of the most responsible offices in the gift of the people, should be conceded a further tenure without opposition. It would be useless for me to enter into discussion of my acts as an officer at this time. The citizens, who are ever alert to the county's interest, know, without telling what has been done. l have in every instance been goYerened by the law as 1 understood it, and while I have made mistakes com mon to mortals, it has been of the head, and without intention.
 I have attempted to treat your affairs right in. the settlement of their accounts, add at the same time do complete justice to your interest. It will be conceded that the watch word of my administration has been economy in so far as possible and in keeping with the interests of a great county, second to none in the state in commercial and agricul- tural enterprise.
 In my future term of office l sha Il give my best efforts to the con- tinuance of the administration of the affairs of your county, and to improve upon past methods, where I car see that improvement can be made.
 Our finances have been constantly

 In conclusion, if l am elected to the office of sheriff, shall devote my en- tire time ard personal attention to the faithful and impartial discharge of the duties threof, and it shall be my earnest endeavor to give the people the best and most courteous service possible. My qualifications to fill the office have not been ques- tioned. If any have doubts, I refer them to any lawyer. business man or farmer who knows epersonally, whethe. he be for or against me in this race. have not, do not, and shall not rest the conduct of my campaign in the hands of any prom inent official or action, or prominent established political leaders Of Jeffer- son county. but my honest aim and effort has been. and will be. to rally to my support people of all stations and avoeations. l have not sought to gain the votes of any class of peo- pie by promising to appoint anyone as deputy, Tn case of my election, but have preferred to stand on my mer- it's, and if elected. l will then be free to choose from the material before me the best men whose services can be obtained as deput tics, unhampered by any ante-election promises.
 I will be thankful for any support given me. Believing that I will be nominated, I am

decreasing, owing to dimunition ID the sources of revenue. License from the sale of liquors has not been as great by half, during my terms of office, as it was during those of my predecessors; while it has been absolutely necessary to ex- pend more money for bridges than has ever been expended in the same time in any period of the county's history.
 I have felt that the advancement and progress of the times demand ed the expenditure oe considerable money for road improvement. This I have done and will continue to do. 1 realize that the system now in operation is imperfect, and my eff : orts will be to so improve it that during my next term more effective and more durable work may be done.
 Notwithstanding these increased expenditures and the decrease in revenues, we have been able to re tire some of the indeb ,edness zex- isting at the beginning of my term of office.
 Again thanking you, my fellow citizens, for your assistance and kindly consideration, l am,

est, or of having enlisted in her cause and fought her battles when it was dangerous to life to do so, renders me no more fit than my brethren for public trust. In offer ing myself for office, do so as your servant, and not your boss or would-be leader. Your wish shall be my law. If elected, l promise that the office shall have my undi- vided time and attention, and when again returned to you, have an abiding faith that your judgment will be that the office has been ad- ministered efficiently and according to law. Railing from section of the county that has had very lit- tie at the hands of the Democratic party i'll the way of office holding, the most of which has been done by citizens of Pine Bluff, policy which does not strike all as being just and fair. have thus far been greatly encouraged in my canvass. People who pay as much of the taxes as is paid by the planters of the county should be entitled to some recogni- tion in the distribution of public offices. I do not say this to array sectional strife, but for the purpose ofillustrating and calling attention to what I consider unjust, though I believe unintentional, discrimina- tion in the matter of selecting the county officials.
 I desire to say further. however, that if, after having the matter thus submitted to you, it still seems just that you should ignore my claims, which are the claims of the farmer, shali as I have always done, consider the voice of Democ- racy as the controlling power and bow in humble allegiance to it's will.
 Yours very truly,
 THos. M. PHILLIPS.

Having ST ent the last thirty wears of my life in Jefferson County I know most of the older citizens of the county and l believe that 1 can say. without successful contradic- cion, that there is no more law abiding nor better class of citizens on this earth than in this county, whether rich or poor, high or low always ready to extend a helping hand to the deserving Now have no opponent (and I am glad of it) in this race whose good qualities l could praise nor bad ones to con- demn.

A DANGEROUS ERROR.
The Desire of the People of the Inland
Empire to Patronize Portland In
dustries--Cheap Fares are a
Great fnducement. -

There is at present one error in which
our townspeople are likely to be led by
the cheap transportation rates offered
between this place and Portland. The
transportation companies advertise rates
which are certainly cheap, while on the
other hand the Portland merchants
claim that by buying from them the
people of this city can save much
money. To this statement an exception
must be made. While the passenger
rates between here and Portland are
very cheap, the freight rates on account
of competition are cheap in proportion,
which enables our merchants to get
their goods delivered in the city almost
as reasonable as they are unloaded from
the cars in Portland. Our city has an
abundance of stores which are selling
goods as reasonably as they can be sold
anywhere. Our business men are pros
porous and can easily afford, owing to
large patronage they enjoy, to sell at
small margin so that the prices of goods
in this city are equally reasonable as in
any town on the coast.
While it will be well for our people to
go to Portland and investigate, we sim
cerely hope that they will not blindly
purchase goods away from home, think
ing they are getting bargain while
they can do much better here at home..
1t is plain that the people of EasternI
Oregon cannot do better in Portland
than at home if they consider the freight
paid on goods from there here and the
other expenses involved in such tripl
Therefore we exhort our people once
more to look before they desert home
industry to deal with people of a strange
town.
