with renewed interest, and the various
clubs composed of residents of former
states are announcing meetings for the

Why Colds are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordi- nary colds and recovered from them without treatment of any kind, do not for a moment imagine that colds are not dangerous. Everyone knows that pneumonia and chronic catarrh have their origin in a common cold. Con sumption is not caused by a cold but the cold prepares the system for the reception and development of the germs that would not have otherwise have found Judgement. It Is the same with all infectious diseases. Diphthe- ria, scarlet fever, measles and whoop- ing cough are much more likely to be contracted when the child has a cold. You will see from this that more real danger turks in cold than in any other of the common ailments. The easiest and quickest way to cure a cold is to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy The many remarkable cures effected by this preparation have made 1t staple article of trade over large part of the world.

To My Fellow Citizen, Dear Sir:

l am addressing you personally in this manner so that you may know and understand my position in this political campaign. As much as l de- sire to meet and converse with every voter in this county, 1 shall not be able to see but comparatively few be- fore the November election for 1 am not in business or occupation of my own; but am in a public office which is ever open and at the ser vice of yourself and others. I wish to say at this time that the demands upon the Superior Court of this Coun- ty have been more numerous and strenuous than is often known to the judiciary, and I now have nearly every day in the next two months set for the trial of some case or cases. On the other hand, you and all other of our best citizens will agree with me that a person in or aspiring to as honorable and trustworthy posi- zion as this should not descend ,U the plane of the politician or allow him. salf tC ,do politics.. l an satisfied that the. primaries and convention re- cently held in the name of the Repuf- IiCan party was not a fair expression O the wishes of the people of this cnuIty, but the will of the people was ccfeated by the misrepresentations and the deceitfulness of politicians.
 I want every voter in this county to know that I am an independent can didate for reelection to the office of Judge of the Superior Court and that no corporation or corporation man or politician or political party is back ing me for the office which l have endeavored to fill faithfully since the organization of this county year ago. I will say farther that the paid poll ticians are working industriously and corruptly to defeat my election. And why are they doing so if there is not something for them to gain thereby?
 l furthermore wish to say for my self that I should not be a candidate for office al this time had l not been the choice of the people for this office one year ago, and having left my for mer home in Holtville, my income and clientage, for the purpose of taking up the duties of this newly created office. I Low desire to continue in the same, unless some honest reason can be advanced for placing in my stead man who has been in the em- sloyment of the California Develop ment Go. for the pact seven years.
 I ask you as a citizen and elector to think seriously of these matters be- fore placing your ballot in the box on the 3rd day of next November
 Yours very truly,
