Beginning her work in this

Nance. State organizer of Rural

met enthusiastic audiences at
Cades, Lake City, Pergamos,
Scranton, High Hill, Prospect,
Leo, Lane, Trio, Greelyville and

her work need not be told that
enthusiasm was increased, nor
that on her next trip to US much
larger crowds will hear her.
During the week she addressed
about 1900 people, all told. and
the common verdict is that she
is doing an indispensable work.
Last year Williamsburg county
captured two of the fifteen prizes
offered by the School Improve.

nish this year seven contestants
for the thirty-five prizes offered
by this association. The Per-
gamos neighborhood will move
from a school building valued
at $50 to a neat two.room house
built entirely by themselves,
costing $1,000. Scranton, a vii.

About the Commissioners.

Mr.. Editor:-In the recent issue
OF your paper in the editorial, mat
rimonial, memorial or some other
column, there appeared an article
from the pen Of our worthy brother
OF the south end of the county in
which he attempted to justify him
self for the position he is taking
relative to the Office of County Com
missioner, for which he is a candi-
date. One would infer from the
trend of his argument that he is
thoroughly convinced that the AL
mighty has, or at least attempted
to, bring about a political disaster
upon our county by causing that
great downpour which necessarily
detained about 400 Republicans at
home, who, according to his belief,
would have unanimously voted for
him. We have long held that
people were largely governed by
climatic conditions, but not to such
an extent as that.
The brother need not take his
defeat at the primary so much to
heart. These things occur at every
election, but it is an uncommon
thing for a man to suffer himself to
have the second dose administered
to him within less than two months
time.
There are others of us who fully
realize his feelings upon receiving
the official announcement of his
defeat, and how he retires to his
quiet repose dreaming that the
world had suddenly ceased its rota-
ton and everything was sent flying
helter skelter through space because
of the great shock brought about by
that final announcement. And
again we see him as he awakes from
his restless dreams, springing to the
floor, grasping a bed-post or a door
knob in order that he might not be
hurled into eternity because of the
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1908-05-29

We do not feel that it is necessary
to ask the voters of Lincoln county
to vote for Ira Wade for County
Clerk. For six years he has filled
that position and during all this
time not one word of criticism has
ever been uttered against his official
record. Under his administration
the office has become a large source
of revenue to the county instead of
an expense. Courteous and impair
tial to all, his Office open at any
hour of the night to accommodate
the public, 4 man Of integrity and

recent disappearance of the laws of
gravltation. And as his reasoning
faculties begin to return we see him
working his way slowly from post
to knob and from knob to chair
until at last he stands before the
huge mirror, which ordinarily is
tall enough to reproduce an image
OF his entire person, but now owing
to the recent elongation of the face
there is to be seen but a narrow
strip across the eyes, and it requires
much surveying by the hands and
pursuasion by the good wife before
ne is fully convinced that there is
yet two ends to that once smiling
face. How amazed he must have
been upon reaching the open air.
There in the heavens above him was
the same sun Illuminating the earth.
The same gentle breeze famed his
fevered brow. The same cow-bell
tlnkled in the distant pasture. In
fact there seemed to be sameness
OF all the surroundings as on pre-
vious occasions. While he stands
meditating and pondering over the
singularity of the situation a sound
comes to him. He bends forward
with his hand to his ear and a
moment later rushes into the house
exclaiming, The county. will yet
be saved; 4 Democrats of the 300
registered have voted for me, and
as it is office l am after, I will
accept on any ticket"
Now, if Mr.. Ready wishes to be
a Democrat why does he not resign
the office of Secretary Of the Re-
publican County Central Committee
and take an honorable stand some
place? Since the Republicans have
not come up to his expectations,
and am much of the opinion that
the Democrats will do likewise, it
appears to me that it would be very
appropriate and acceptable if three
or four Socialists in some precinct
