FOR COUNTY CLERK.

Edward NJ Hoover, the Democrat
ic nominee for the office of county
clerk, is also one of the we'll and
favorablyknown men of Chehalis
county. and has had experience in
county business that will be of value
to the public when he is elected
clerk. Mr.. Hoover is native of
Indiana, and has been resident of
Washington twenty years, and Of
Chehals county for nineteen years.
During his long residence in Che
halls county he has obtained an en-
viable reputation for doing things
and doing them squarely.
From 1897 to 1899 Mr.. Hoover
was deputy county sheriff, and for
the two following years was deputy
county auditor, and in both of those
positions he displayed a capacity for
public business as well as a pleasant
genial manner that gained him a
host of friends. Later he spent sew
eral years as superintendent of an
Alaska salmon cannery and is now
engaged in the building business at
Hoquiam, where he resides with his
family.
The office of county clerk is an
important one AS clerk of the court,
he has the custody of all court rec
ords, which, while subject to public
inspection, should be vigorously
guarded. A single paper distracted
or altered might destroy the title of
a rightful property owner, and be
of serious consequences in many
ways. In the hands of Ed. M. Hoo
yer the records would be scrupu-
lously looked after, and his accomo-
dating disposition and genial man.
ner would make the transaction of
business in that office most pleasant.
Mark an X after the name of Ed.
M. Hoover on your ballot and you
will not regret it.

POLITICAL HISTORY
OF GEORGE |. DAVIS. WRITTEN
BY FRANK |. THURBER.
Some Interesting SideIighfs Thrown
on the Candidacy of Davis for
County Commissioner for the
Third District. Tax Dodgers Line
I'D for Him.

We print below the second chap
ter of the official history of Geo. l..
Davis, Republican nominee for coun-
commissioner, written by his Repub-
lican opponent at the primary cleo
ton, Frank l.. Thurber. 1t may be
said, in passing, that the statements
of Mr. Thurber in public print dur
ing that campaign have not been
refuted. In the first communication
published in the last issue of the
Herald, was the charge that Thurber
was offered $500 to get off the tick
ct in favor of Davis. Why such a
sum was offered for such an office,
and by whom, and how they expec-
ed to get their money back is left
to the imagination of the reader.
Perhaps the second chapter, printed
below, taken from the Hoquiam
Washingtonion of September l, 1908,
will throw some light on the sub
ject.

A FATAL ACCIDENT.
A Falling Limb Strikes G. W. Nc
Nulty on the Head Causing
Conclusion of the Brain.

c. w. McNulty, a logger, was
killed Saturday at the logging camp
of White & Glazier on the Hump
tulips. The camp is located about
three-quarters of a mile from this
railroad station of Tulips. The body
of the hapless logger was brought to
McTaggalt's undertaking establish
ment at Hoquiam and the funeral viii
probably be held on Tuesday.
McNulty was a faller and met
death while at work. Two or three
fellow workmcn witnessed the acci>
dent. A falling tree struck another
tree, was hurled to one side and
limb struck McNulty on the back of
the head, causing conclusion of the
brin. He was rendered unconscious
and died in that state.
The man had worked at the camp
only two days and nothing was
known of his previous residence by
his employers. 1t was stated that
evening that he had previously been
engaged at a camp belonging to the
Lytle Logging Company and that he
was an Austria ian. He was 2S years
of age and unmarried.

ONE MILLION DOLLARS.

make a note or that, Mr.. Taxpayer.
That amount has been added to
the assessed valuation of the timber
of the state from the cruise of a
few townships. Nearly HALF A
MILLION DOLLARS added to the as
sessed valuation in Pierce County
from TWO TOWNSHIPS only. What
would be added to this, the wealth.
lest in amount of timber in the state :?
And almost every dollar of it be-
longs to the large corporations, and
every dollar charged to them reduces
the taxes of the common people, the
laborers and small home owners.
But Davis and his hackers say it
will cost nearly $4,000 to cruise the
timbe in this county And they say
Mr.. Davis business ability has never
been questioned. Yet d few years
ago, When Geo. l.. Davis was COM
missioner, the county could have had
the entire cruise at not to exceed
$4,000!
Now, don't you think it time to
question his wonderful business abil-
ity, for he, in that single instance
cost the county about $4,000. Who
is the most expensive commissioner
we ever had. AMI that is only one
instance. The timber Of CHEHALIS
COUNTY MUST BE CRJISED.
THE TAXPAYERS WILL NEVER
GET A SQUARE DEAL IN TAXES
UNTIL 1T IS
The trouble is. and has been for
years, that the hackers of Mr.. Davis
and the people with whom he asso-
ciates would be compelled to pay
their JUST PROPORTION of the
taxes if the timber were cruised. No
wonder they kick. Touching their
bank accounts-see?
The timber is the present wealth
of the county. Why not make it

perience in the real estate business
rendering him particularly well qua
lifted for the office of assessor.
There are many points of SINH
larity in John Richardson and Peter I!
f. Clark as will be noticed. The !
former was born in Canada 81 years
ago, and at an early age moved with
his parents to Texas, where he grew
up, attended the public schools and
learned the trade of blacksmith. Com
ing to Washington in 1887, Mr. Rich
ardson and family settled at Hoqui-
am, IL ",.:.~i uity- ho has siucc Deen
a respected citizen.
Mr.. Richardson has been honorea
by election or appointment to sew
eral responsible positions in Hoqui-
am, in each of which he made good.
He was a member of the first council
of Hoquiam, where his capacity for
public affairs attracted attention,
and when the city advanced to the
third class he was elected mayor over
one of the most popular Republic
cans in that city. AS postmaster of
Hoquiam for four years he gave emf
nent satisfaction in that somewhat
trying position, as he did later as
chief of police.
During his residence of 21 years
in Chehalis county, Mr.. Richardson
has become thoroughly conversant
with property values, SO that under
his administration such condition
as now exists in the county assess
ment would not be tolerated. II
elected, Mr.. Richardson will owe that
election to the people at large, not to
any set of men or interests. and all
property will be assessed upon iden-
tically the same ratio to its casf1
value, regardless of the name OF the
owner, state of affairs that has
rarely if ever existed in Chehalis
county. A vote for John Richardson
will be a vote for equitable assess
ment and a square deal to all. The
chronic taxdodger will oppose him
to the uttermost, so that his election
must come from the average taXpay-
ers, who make up the sums escaped
by the dodgers.

The democratic nominee for repre-
sentative for the twenty-ninth dis
trict, DR.. S. l.. Moak, the we'll
known dentist of Montesano, has
grown from childhood in Chehalis
county, and his career fully justi-
fies the belief of his friends that he
will make an excellent legislator.
DR.. Moak was born in Illinois on
November 3, 1876, SO that upon cleo
tion day he will be 32 years of age.
In 1888, when seven years old, he
came with his parents to Montesano
where he has since resided accept
when absent studying his profess
sion.
Very early in life Sam. Moak dis
played disposition to do things
for himself, and before he was II
years of age had mastered the trade
of barber, and owned shop of his
own in Montesano. This was all
right as far as it went, but it by
no means satisfied the youth. He
determined to study dentistry, and
as soon as he had laid up sufficient
money proceeded to carry out his
determination.
He attended the Portland Dental
college two terms, and one year in
the Philadelphia college, graduating
from the latter in 1902. He at once
began the practice of dentistry in
Montesano, where he has built up an
extensive business.
lie was married in 1903 to Miss
Calder, and is the proud father Of
a son and heir and the possessor of
a happy, comfortable home. Dr.
Moak has always been a student of
public affairs, is thoroughly convers-
ant with the resources and require
ments of the state of Washington
and Chehalis county, and is particu-
larly well equipped to serve this
county in the legislative halls. If
elected, he will be subject to the
control of no set Of men or interests
but will endeavor to aid such legis-
lation as yill be benficial to all.

pay for some good roads before it Is
all gone?
Geo. l.. Davis, being the tool of
the large timber holders and corpor-
ations, is again pledged to protect
their interests and oppose all legis-
lation by the county board which
would tend to increase their taxes.
1t is known fact that w. H. Abel,
c. F. White and other are devoting
their energies and time to the cleo
tion of Geo. L. Davis. Why?
A local paper states that Geo. L.
Davis as commissioner served the
people of this county honestly and
faithfully but fail to state WHAT
people he served faithfully. Was he
honest and faithfully serving the
people at large when he equalized the
tide-land holdings of the mill corpo-
rations at 25 cents and 80 cents when
the owners would not take $40 and
$50 a foot for them? Was he serv-
ing the people generally when he
equaliZed the mill sites on which
mills are operating at about the value
that he placed on some of the homes
of the laboring men of this city?
Was it honest to value property that
you cannot obtain for probably less
than quarter of million at $1,000
or $1,000.
If it is, you taxpayers vote for him
again. It's strictly up to you, at the
coming primaries.

To whom the Democratic nominal
tirely unsolicited. is in all probabili-
ty personally acquainted with more
voters of Chehalis county than any
other candidate for county officeIi
and, it may be said, he enjoys the
respect and confidence of all who
know him. His high character and
popularity were well attested two
years ago when he was elected coun-.
ty auditor on the Democratic ticket
in the face of 1000 Republican
majority in the county. That he
was counted out by some political
pirates and refused to carry the mat
ter into court, saying he did not
crave the office sufficiently to fight
a lawsuit over it, are facts well
known throughout the county, and
his friends propose to make his ma
jority this year so large that the
manipulation of few minor pre-
cincts will not alter the result
Peter F. Clark is native of
Canada, SO years of age-although
more active and vigorous than most
men 20 years younger-and moved to
Michigan with his parents when Ii
years of age. Here he received his
education, and learned the trade of
iron moulder. In 1888, he, with his
wife and son, came to Aberdeen
where he has made his home for the
post twenty years.
In 1894 he was appointed post
master of Aberdeen by President
Cleveland, which office he held the
full term of four years with credit
to himself, and such pleasure to the
public that he was retained by his
Republican successor as assistant
for four years more. Mr.. Clarke had
previously served on the city cOun
ell, and has ever taken deep inter-
est in the progress of Aberdeen, and
upon retiring from the postoffice was
elected city clerk in 1902. To this
office he was elected each year since
until the present year, when he was
appointed by the mayor-the new
law making the office an appointive
one
AS said above, this nomination
came to Mr.. Clark wholly unsought,
in fact he resisted the requests of
numerous friends-of both political
parties-to become a candidate at
the primaries, but there is SO much
opposition to the methods adopted
by the present treasurer that he was
induced to allow his name to go be-
fore the voters for the position.
In his fourteen years of public
life in Aberdeen, Peter F. Clark was
never found lacking. Nor is his
popularity Que to studied efforts to
coddle to any man or set of men. To
do his whole duty to the public has
been his only maxim, and the high
regard he commands in his home
city proves that duty has been well
done. As county treasurer, he will
have no boss other than the laws
governing the office.
