dives of Portland. All manner Of
inducements were offered for a per-
nit to run the games wide open.
They did not avail. The persis-
tent fight made for law enforce
ment and the betterment of civic
conditions was waged against the
gamblers and dive keepers from a
sense Of official duty, for public de-
cency and the protection Of our
homes.
The combined "open town" ele-
ment viciously fought me during
my administration and are against
me now. They never fail to re-
ward their friends and punish
their enemies.

of sheriff of this county and ask
your endorsement upon my record.
II elected, I will try to do better
than ! did before.
/ will appoint competent men in
the tax department and conduct II
in an efficient and economical man
ner so as to avoid confusion. delay
and unnecessary expense In the
collection of taxes.
I stand pledged to a fat salary,
the county boarding its own pris-
oners without profit to the sheriff.
I will enforce the law without
fear or favor.
I will be true to my trust.

Oglesby Young, the democratic
candidate for railroad commissioner,
is making an active campaign and
should be elected to that office.
Mr.. Young has been a resident of
Portland for the past fifteen years,
he is widely known throughout the
state as man OF upright character,
strict integrity and good lawyer,
1t is most important TO the people
of this district that the railroad COM
mission be composed of men com
petent to perform the duties of the
office and to see that justice is done
where difference arises between
the railroads and the people. We
want men for this Office honest and
incorruptible. who are neither allied
with any special interest or owned
by the railroads.

him at the last election and are SO
