FOR CORONER AND PUBLIC
ADMINISTRATOR.

DR.. B. Taylor Freshman, the re-
publican candidate for coroner and
public administrator, is native of
Ohio, 43 years of age. He has been
practicing physician and surgeon
at Amador City for the past four
years, and is acknowledged to be an
expert in his profession. 1t is ad-
mitted that the duties of coroner are
intimated related to the practice
of medicine and surgery In case
of doubt as to the cause of death,
the experienced physician is better
able to Judge as to the necessity of
"a post mortem examination to fur
ther the ends of justice than a non
professional man. The coroner can
not perform an autopsy himself and
make any charge against the county
for so doing, so that no financial
benefit can accrue to the coroner by
reason of his being medical
practitioner. DR.. Freshman is max
ing clean, active canvass, and ex-
poets to receive the support of
every republican.

A notable feature of the cam
paign for local officers this year is
that every candidate finds that he
has all the work he can do to attend
to his own canvass. Every man on
either ticket is kept busy looking
after his own fight. There is no at
tempt to shoulder another mans
fight as well. We have seen cam
paigns in this county where an of
fetal, having no contest on his own
hands, was at liberty to throw his
voice and influence for the election
of his brother democrats. But
there is nothing of that sort this
year. The candidate that makes
any serious effort to carry any
handicap weight is very apt to wind
up loser himself

In the conduct of public business
it ou llt to be an iuflexible rule that
public funds should be expended at
home rather than abroad. Resi-
dents of the county should have the
preference in employment at public
expense rather than the outsider.
This is in strict accordance with the
wholesome motto of patronizing
home industry. Iu defense of this
principle the national administration
under republican rule is now being
conducted, with beneficial results
that are the wonderment of the
world. Every department of state,
county, and city government should
be conducted on the same plane of
loyalty to home interests aud home
people. The money collected by
taxation from the people of the
county, should be spent within the
county as far as it is possible to do
so. In the past few years thousands
of dollars of county funds have been
expended in hiring shorthand re-
porters in civil and criminal trials
in the superior court, when in many
instances, if not in all, equally as
effective service might have been
had by employing home labor. We
have shorthand reporters in Jack
son. Why should they not have the
preference in any work the pay
ment for which falls upon the tax
payers or civil litigants of Amador
county. This is a reform issue
which is before the voters of ANA
dor county in, the coming election
for judge of the superior court. The
republican candidate, Fred L.
Stewart, will favor the doctrine of
protection of home industry.

to prejudices, and endeavoring to
make unseemly combinations to
elect their candidates. On the state
ticket they are trying to corral the
union labor vote, by claiming that
Lane is the working mans friend,
and that Pardee is not friendly to
organized labor because when Mayor
of Oakland during those days of
democratic supremacy, when the un-
employed were tramping through
the country ragged and half starved,
he was called upon in his official
position to protect the interests of
the city, by aiding the army to move
forward peaceably beyond the city
limits. The whole stock-in-trade of
democrats in this campaign is to try
to stir up class prejudices. They
have no principles worth contending
for. They can point to no prospect
ty as the practical outcome of the
application of their doctrines in
national affairs. They want the Of
fees in the state as badly as they
want to cling to the offices in ANA
dor county. They pose as the friend
of the working man, when, as a
matter of fact, every time they have
had charge of national affairs, the
working classes have had 70 face dis
tress aud hard times. In the con
gressional fights in San Francisco
they have declined to make nomina-
tions, but will support the nominees
of the labor party. These nominees
are as good democrats as they want,
and they want to use the labor vote
to increase their strength in con-
gress, knowing full well they would
utterly fail by straight-out party
issue. This fusion business rarely
succeeds. 1t is in fact, an admission
of weakness. 1t means surrender
of principle for the sake of tempo
rary advantage, policy which does
not commend itself to right thinking g
man

AS an argument in favor of keep
ing the same set of men in office con-
tinuously, it has been stated that a
merchant would never dream of dis
charging clerk who had served him
faithfully for number of years,
simply to give place to an untried
man. Nor would a mining company
turn adrift superintendent who
had brought the mine to dividend
paying basis, in order to give some
other man a show. This argument
when applied to the existing af-
fairs in Amador county is fallacious.
To carry out the simile it would be
necessary to suppose the superin-
tendent and other employees of COM
pany forming compact to run the
affairs of the mine to suit them
selves, and for the purpose of en-
trenching themselves in power.
Under such conditions the stock
holders would not hesitate in ousting
them from their positions at the
earliest opportunity. The faithful
service plea no longer holds good.

For Governor.
GEORGE c. PARDEE, of Oakland
Congress, J. F. GILLETTE, Humboldt
FOR COUNTY CLERK.

In the selection of John F. Clute
for county clerk, lie republicans
have made an exceptionally strong
and popular nomination. The cand-
idate is native of Amador county;
was born in Volcano, December 13,
1873, and is therefore 90 years of
age. After graduating from the
public school at Volcano, he attend
ed the Hastings Law School of San
Francisco for three years, gradual
ing therefrom with honor. Lived
in Jackson for two years thereafter,
attending to law business, and a
part of the time employed in the
post Office. Upon the death of his
father, about two years ago, he as
sumed charge of the business at
Volcano, which is now in course of
administration. having his mother
and two sisters in a great meas ure
dependent upon his efforts. This is
another example of the Office seek
ing the man. He had not the slight
est idea of being a candidate for
clerk, until he was earnestly re-
quested to accept the nomination by
number of prominent republicans.
He is a young man, thoroughly
qualified by nature, education, and
business experience for the position.
He is poor man, seeking a start in
life, and is not possessed of means to
make money fight. Voters must
consider the fact that those who
have held lucrative offices for many
years, which is the case with most
of the democratic candidates, are
able and apparently willing to ex-
pend considerable money in the
fight for reelection. Republicans
are not able to make that kind of a
fight. They appeal to the good
sense of the Amador citizens, not to
be swayed by this style of election
eering when it comes to making out
their ballots. The fact is, an Of
ficer who spends large sums of
money in the belief that such a
course will aid him in securing votes
to retain Office, should be defeated
on general principles.
Every true republican should vote
for J. F. Clute for county clerk. He
is affable, obliging and capable.
There is strong feeling abroad that
the interests of Amador county de-
mand breakup of the official com
bination which has held sway in
political affairs so long, and voters
will not be slow to realize that a
very important step in that direc-
tion will be made in the election OF
John F. Clute as county clerk.

HON. F. L. STEWART.

To be in public service and satisfy
those served by a faithful perform
ance of the trust reposed, is, as
everyone knows, no easy task.
There is no position in public life
which is harder to fill than a legis-
lative one. Two years ago the re-
publicans of this county, without
any solicitation on his part, nomi-
mated Fred l.. Stewart for the as
sembly. The phenomenal run which
he made, and his election is still
fresh in the public mind. His record
at Sacramento is an enviable one,
his voice and vote always being on
the side of clean politics and decent
legislation. Faithful to his con-
stituents, he, as the writer knows,
(having been in Sacramento during
the entire SESSION. was always at
his desk hard at work.
As a Los Angeles paper said of
him, he was hard worker on the
floor and watched with creditable
vigilance the interests of his con-
stituents."
His party has now honored him
with the nomination for superior
Judge. AS a practicing attorney
in lone for three years, there is
probably no case which arose here
during that period in which he was
not counsel. His purity of char
acter, his ability. his impartiality
and independence and his liberal
views are known to almost every
voter in lone

town of his boyhood, without saying
one word against his opponent, be-
lieves that the judiciary of the
county would be safe in the hands

THE LEGISLATIVE TICKET.

Every republican in the district
should give his earnest support to
W. G. Ralston, the party candidate
for state senator, and G. H. Nc
Kenney, the nominee for assembly
man. The first named has served
one term in the legislature, as
assemblyman from Calaveras coun-
ty. He proved himself an able and
iniuen tial member, and so well sat
isfied were the people with his record,
that the republicans of Calaveras in
sisted upon his becoming the stand
ard bearer of his party for sena-
torial honors. Mr. McKenney is
successful business man of lone. He
is possessed of sound judgment, and
energy and integrity of character
the essential requisites of an as
pirant for legislative experience.
That which makes the success of the
republican legislative ticket an all
important issue is that United
States senator will be elected next
year to succeed Senator Perkins.
Senator Perkins is a candidate for
reelection. He has served the state
so well that his reelection is a fore
gone conclusion in the event of the
republicans having majority on
Joint ballot. There are great national
interests involved in the senatorial
issue-the supremacy of the repub-
lican party in congress, and conse-
quently the continuance of that pro
tectiye policy which has resulted in
such an era of unprecedented pros
perity as we have enjoyed for the
past six years. Democratic control
OF either branch of congress would
cripple orr industries. 1t would
tend to undermine public confidence.
which would at once be manifested
by a shrinkage of business enter
prise. The people of the mining
belt don't want change from re-
publican prosperity to democratic
adversely, and will see to it that
Ralston and McKenney are elected
by overwhelming majorities.

The political card of A. c. Irwin,
candidate on the republican ticket
for Railroad Commissioner of the
first district, WHICH embraces ANA
dor county, will be found in this is
sue. Mr. Irwin is a resident of
Marysville, where for many years he
has been engaged in the real estate
and insurance business. He has the
confidence of the people in his own
county as an upright and successful
man of business, possessing ali the
qualifications for the faithful dis
charge of the duties of the important
office he is seeking at the hands of
the voters. He is a strong man,
and worthy of the support of every
republican. His party vote is
enough to elect him, with the indie
pendent vote that naturally tends
toward candidate of Mr.. Irwin's
character and ability.
