| rates. Hon. i. L. Geer was mem Der
of the house and voted against the
bill.
It is useless to talk reform and vote
against it. No reform can be accom-.
plished with the other fellows in Office.
The reform element must get the
offices before they can hope for re-
duced taxation and an equitable money
system.
The Office of commissioner is one of
is necessary that conservative busi-
ness man Lt -, led, o.. Who will not
allow taxes w. I'd. +. II. Jackson, OF
Hood River, is one who fills every re-
quirement for this position.
In Milt Anderson the people recog-
nize friend, man of the people, one
we'll qualified for county clerk. They
have made up their minds to vote for
him, and after the first Monday in
July he will occupy the front Office in
the east side of the court house.
The natural outcome of the present
war with Spain is the annexation of
Cuba and Porto Rico, and the inde-
pendence of the philippines. How
ever the Cubans should be given their
independence first, then they will vote
to be annexed to the United States.
When you vote next Monday don't
neglect to put cross opposite the
names of Charles Schultz and F. N.
Hill, nominees respectively for justice
of the peace and constable. Both are
we'll qualified and are competent
gentlemen.
Brigham and Morse will not ask the
state to furnish them two or three
CLERKS apiece when they take their
seats in the legislature next January.
They will attend to their correspond
ence themselves. Such represe n ia
tives are money savers for the state.
A republican majority in the legis-
lature will mean that relief bill will
be passed to pay the salaries of the go
men who spent 40 days in Salem last
year trying to prevent the organiza-
tion of the house. A republican legis-
lature will want to pay off the debts
incurred by its faithful" hold-out
brethren.
A United States senator is to be
elected next January and it is all i'm
portant that he is one who is opposed
to the issuance of more interest-bear-
ing bonds, one who will save the
people from bondage to the bondhold-
ers. The only way to secure such a
man is to defeat republican nominees
for the legislature.
Spain's credit is gone and it's money
supply is about exhausted. 1t cannot
therefore prosecute the war with the
United States much longer unless
some powerful European nation comes
to it's assistance. 1t costs money to
pay for munitions of war, and when
the money is not forthcoming, peace
must soon he declared.
1. D. Driver is making many friends
throughout the county, and has con-
vinced the people generally that he is
in every way worthy their support for
the office of sheriff Should he be
elected, which seems to be we'll as
sured at this time, the people will find
in him an efficient, obliging and com.
petent officer.
The voters of Wasco county will
make no mistake if they elect M. J.
Anderson to the Office of county clerk.
He is competent in every respect, is
industrious and frugal; therefore if
honored with public trust will prove
an admirable official. Mr.. Anderson
will make one of the best clerks Wssco
county has ever had.
Those who feel pride in our native
sons and desire to encourage worthy
young men, should remember N. II.
Gates on election day. He was raised
in The Dalles, by careful application
has built himself up to good stand
ing among the members of the bar
and is in every way qualified for the
Office of district attorney.
The American Book Company wants
to retain its monopoly of school books
in Oregon. 1t wants J. H. Ackerman
elected superintendent of public in.
struction. The people don't want any
company to have a monopoly of Ore
gon, therefore they want b. 5. Lyman
for superintendent.
Beware of reports circulated on
election day, and carefully investigate
everything that is told against candi-
dates. Accusations made at a time
when they cannot be met by fair state
ments are ordinarily false. aud should
be needed with caution. 1t would be
well for voters that they give little
heed to stories circulated at the
eleventh hour.
Some of the republican campaign
orators are telling the voters in the
country that wool is now worth from
Is to 20 cents pound. What
splendid thing it would be for the
woolgrowers of Eastern Oregon if
these orators were buying wool in
stead of the Boston wool merchants
who offer from to 10 cents.
There is no better representative of
the farmers and laboring classes of
Wasco county than 1. D. Driver. When
he is installed into the sheriff's office
he will conduct it in the interest of
those whom he represents. That is,
there will be no expense for unneces-
sary deputy hire. He is worker and |
will see to it tina. there are no drones |
about his office.
The American Book Company has |
that it has no interest in the |
present campaign in Oregon or the
of Prof. Ackerman, yet r. L.
general agent for the COM
pany is out in the Oregonian with
article attempting to put
Ackerman right before the voters.
