of a set .of dishes to new-marriet

true and should receive little credence.

get the J. Miller at the L. NJ Co. for

When marking your ballot remenl-
Der Vogtlin, Bell, Specie and Mrs.
Decker, who are at present officers of
Mason County, and deserving of an
other term in their Offices All having
business with their departments have
found them courteous and accommodate
ing and their work has been free from
complaint.
For a good air tight or steel range.
cheap go to Hunter & Eaton's.
| 1t is rumored that both liquor and
money is being used in the campaign,
and especially among the Indian vot-
ers. The JOURNAL does know where
it comes from, but desires to assert
here that the Republican County COM
rnittee is not responsible, nor will this
be permitted in the interest of any Re-
publican candidate.
| Your ballot on election day will be
arranged in exactly the same form as
the official notice published in another
column, although it will be spaced out
to forty inches IN length, with squares
after each candidate IN which to mark
your crosses. We submit that to avoid
confusion an x in the first space after
the words Republican ticket means
straight vote for every Republican
candidate, and there is no danger of
mistake.

When marking your ballot, don't for
get Gunderson, the friend of all people
Above all things, don't trade" be-
cause it proves a weak cause, and is
unfair and unjust, even if the carrying
out were probable. No Republican
can have the slightest reason to cut
Gunderson, regardless ofany friendly
feeling for his opponent. We are all
friends until it comesto politics, then
stand by your principles when your
candidate is worthy of your support.
Gunderson has been proven worthy.
For the best teas and coffees go TO
Hunter and Eaton.
! When marking your ballot do not
forget to put your x after the name of
L w Specie: the best assessor Mason
County ever had. His work has been
as near perfect as it is possible to get
the assessment, and when the rolls
were laid before the commissioners
the burden of taxation tell upon all in
like proportion. No man can complain
when he is treated like his neighbor,
but he kicks when he thinks he is not
getting square deal" Mr.. Specie
has had several years of experience,
| as commissioner and assessor, and he
understands the work. Why change?
When marking your ballot do not
forget Gilbert M Ward, for Surveyor;
A. f. Chapman, tor Coroner; and Ellis
worth Freeburger, for Wreckmaster.
MIR Ward is an old and experience sur
veyor who has done government and
held work for many years, and is
thoroughly competent. Mr. Chapman
in not an undertaken but he has acted
as county coroner for a number of
terms, and has given satisfaction.
Perhaps it is as we'll that he is not an
undertaken. AS Ellsworth has been
elected wreckmaster once or twice, has
never succeeded in getting a cent out
OF the county, and has no chance to
reap emolument for this sinecure, he
ought to receive your vote because he
is on your ticket.
The JOURNAL has been asked if the
figures given in the article of last week
by Taxpayer, referring to certain
tax reductions on property in which
Thos. O'Neill was interested, are cor
rect. We have not examined the as
sessment rolls, but by referring to the
JOURNAL. August Is, 1899, and Tribune
/ following day, in both of which the Of
fetal proceedings of the county board
OF equalization we're published, we find
the flgures to be correct, and as the
proceedings were attested by the audi
tor, they must conform to the assess
ment rolls. While we are on that sub
Ject it might be stated that the O'Neill
residence was assessed for 5000 for the
year 1899. while the Judge Dunbar
4 property, owned by Mr.. Gunderson
was assessed at $525. This is one of
