where he followed his trade in local
foundry until 1894, when he was ap.
pointed postmaster. He filled this try
ing position from 1894 to 1898. with such
credit to himself, and pleasure to the
public, that on the appointment OF his
republican successor in 1898, Mr.. Clark
was retained as assistant postmaster for
six years, or until 1902. In that year he
was elected city clerk Of Aberdeen, and
has been re elected to that position every
year since, and is the present satisfactory
incumbent OF that Office.
AS said above, Mr.. Clark was in no
sense candidate for this nomination,
and only accepted after the strongest
kind OF pressure was brought upon him
by his friends. Although lifelong
democrat. Mr.. Clark, in his long and
honorable public career has never been
known to admit politics into his conduct
OF an office or treatment OF the public,
whose servant he considers every public
official to be. With Mr.. Clark, the
records of Chehalis county will be in
safe hands.

"For nearly five years Mr.. Rosmond,
the CRATER nominee for auditor, has been
occupying a position in a state Office IN
Olympia, placed there during the ad
minisl ration of Gov. Rogers and allowed
to hold over, and 50 far as we have been
able to learn could have continued in
that position had not the grafters needed
HIM in the warrant drawing department
of this county. Is it possible that there
were not good republicans in the county
capable OF performing the duties Of this
office without sending out of the county
for man, with great democratic
criminal lawyer for brother.in-law?
Certainly, the woods are full Of them as
capable in every way as is Mr.. Ros'
mond- barring the brother-in-law. Then
why was he chosen, unless the gang had
him pledged through his brother-in-law
to do their bidding If it were necessary
for them to have certain warrants drawn
before coming before the courts to test
The right of the board to order them?
And Why is it that in almost every por-
ton OF the ticket if you analyze why it
was nominated, you see the shadow OF
this great criminal lawyer standing back
grim and as defiant as death itself? In
this connection he stands as the brother
in-law looking alter the welfare OF his
wife's relation. If that were the only
reason Why Mr.. Rosmond was nominated,
why wasn't he given the treasureship
instead OF forcing another aspirant to
take that position to make room for him

why? But why pursue this investigation
further just at present? for the more you

The Democratic Nominee.

The Democratic nominee for county
auditor requires no introduction to a
large number Of the voters Of Chehalis
county, and hi party owes no apologies
or explanations for his nomination. That
honor WenU 10 him unsought, and if
elected-as he surely will be-he will owe
allegiance to ALL the people of the county
not TO relative or parcel of would-be
political bosses. He will be auditor of
CnEuALIS CouNrY, not OF any particular
bunch Of it.
While Mr.. Clark is so we'll known on
Grays liarbor as to render any formal
introduction seem useless, still, among
the new population in the eastern part
Of the county there may be some who
have not the pleasure of the acquaintance
OF this genial and capable gentleman, 30
that it may be we'll, and the HERALD
takes pleasure in introducing him.
Peter f. Clark was born in Canada, In
1915, and removed with his parents to
the United States, settling in Michigan
in 1856, where Peter f. learned the trade
Of iron mouder. Mr.. Clark, with his
wife and son, came to Aberdeen in 1888,

Erred Rosmond, the republican nomi
nee for auditor, has lived in Chehalis
county for the past fifteen years. About
four years ago he was appointed by >. A.
Calvert, the republican state land COM
missioner, to the position OF assistant
bookkeeper in his Office, where he re-
NAMED unit. the end Of Mr.. Callvert's
term, when he returned to Montesano in
April, 1905. During the summer OF that
year he was employed in the office OF the
Grays Harbor Lumber company at Ho-
GUAM, and in November, 1905, he was
appointed 10 his old position in the land
office at Olympia, by E. N. Ross, the
present commissioner.
"Ar. Rosmond taught school in vari-
GUS districts in Chehalis county before
entering the employ Of the state, and is
well acquainted and closely identified
with the county and it's interests. He is
the owner of farm near Oakville, in
which he has invested his earnings, and
on which he has made substantial i'm
provements.
"Beng Montesano boy and person
ally known to the people of this city and
section as an uprigh. and capable man,
Mr.. Rosmond will doubtless poll the full
strength OF his party, and because of per
sonal popularity and fitness for the office
it would not be surprising if he should
run far ahead OF his ticket. "-Montesano

Deafness Cannon be Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,

Deafness is caused by an infamed con,

imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
trely closed deafness is theresult, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
