Who Will Be Sheriff.

a few words to my democratic
friends.
As there seems to be a misunder-
standing as to my candidacy for the
office of sheriff, / offer the following
to make clear my position in this
campaign.
Now few of my democratic friends
seem to be Of the opinion,
LIST. That | have come into the cam
paign to divide the democratic or
anti Lister vote.
I'd. That have no show Of election
and consequently should stay out of
the race.
Now, let us see how such objections
will stand the test of reason as to the
first objection Il was regularly nomi-
mated to the office of sheriff by the
socialist party on the third day of
March before Mr.. Russell's name had
even been mentioned in connection
with the sheriff's office, Now if Mr..
Russell and his supporters were so
anxious not to divide the vote why
did Mr.. Russell go out for the nomi-
nation knowing l was aleady in the
6eld unless he was willing to accept
conditions as he found them, because
whatever may be my shortcomings |
have never been called quitter.
AS to the second objection that |
have no show to win with three in
the field Suppose we admit for the
sake of argument that such is the case
and that it is good reason, will it
not have Just as much or more force in
his case as mine, he being the last
in the field.
However let us not cloud the issue
this is a business question and not a
question of who was in the field first,
but question of who is the most fit
for the position. If Mr.. Russell is
the best qualified for the position,
then and only then, should he have
your support This is not so much a
political as a business matter and
should be treated as such. Mine or
Mr.. Russells hopes or aspirations are
as nothing compared TO the business
side of it.
am respectfully yours.

Health in
Grants Pass
Rotermund Says Care Of Digestion
Solves Problem Of Long Life.

No one in Grants Pass has better
chance than the druggist to know the
condition of the city's health, and
what diseases are most common.
Rotermund believes that the prob
lem Of long life is solved. by proper
care Of the digestive organs. Let the
stomach get out of condition and soon
there will be nervousness, irritation,
furred tongue, specks before the eyes,
weakness, debility, indigestion, and
other physical and mental troubles
that directly result from weakened
stomach.
OF all the vital organs, the stomach
il the most frequently abused, and
hence, the one which most frequently
fails and so with the discovery of u
remedy like Mi-o-na stomach tablets,
which is sold on an absolute guarantee
TO strengthen the digestive system, aid
in ASST ilatlon of food, ana cure all
troubles caused by indigestion, an i'm
portant step has been taken towards
solving the question of good health
and long life.
Take one of the little Mi.o-na tab
let's before each meal. with the fixed
determination that you are going to
geti well, aud it will not be many
days before you can eat anything
without year of Indigestion
Rotermund sells Mi-o-na on an alb
solute guarantee to refund the money
il it does not ours. A large box Of
the tablets costs but 30 cents, If it
helps You nothing If it fails.
