hands. A J Shaw was horn in Oregon
Al wears ago and ne knows almost every
bit of territory from the British line down
to the southern limits of California and
Nevada. He has been resident OF this
county for "a years and as farmer, mer-
chant and servant OF the people, his
record has been one that his party can
point TO with feeling Of pride. For two
years he was sheriff of this county and
the Office has never been better filled.

E. b. PREBLE.
Hon. <. B. Preble. the democratic
nominee for prosecuting attorney, was
born in Portland, Maine, October 21,
1857. His school days were spent in
Minnesota, and he graduated from the
Minnesota State university with high
honors after four years. course. Hav
ing been admitted to the bar. Mr.. Preble
commenced his law practice in 1888 and
has ever since continued IN that profess
sion. With his wife and three children
he came to the Pacific coast on that wave
OF immigration that swept from the Mis-
sissippi valley in 1888 and has since then
resided in the Northwest. Reared in the
moral, political and literary atmosphere
that made the original New England
states the cradle of liberty, Mr.. Preble
inhaled therefrom enlarged ideas of the
natural rights of man and enthusiasm
for the equality of civil rights, and being
too young to be warped by the heat OF
the slavery question, these New England
ideas and sentiments OF equality and
civil rights naturally made him demo-
crat, and his democracy is rooted in prin-
ciple instead OF prejudice. He is CON
sentative in his views and believes that
the dominion of party should yield to
the demands of truth and duty whenever
there is conflict between them. Mr..
PEBBLE is close student OF law and is re-
garded by his fellow lawyers in this state
and Oregon as a sound counselor and a
safe practitioner. If elected county at
torney the citizens OF Yakima will feel
confident that their interests are in able
hands.
