TO THE VOTERS
 OF NEVADA COUNTY

For the first time in my life, come before my friends as a candidate ask ing them for their hearty support in the race for the office of Tax Assessor. l feel that am qualified for the office and can perform its duties with honor to myself and with satisfaction to the people.
 1 was born and reared in Nevada County and l have always done all in my power to aid in the development of my community, socially and nor ally. As to that my life is an open book to the people of the County, ready to be investigated by any one wishing to know who l am. 1 oppose third term and should I be elected will not ask for a third term. I feel there are others worthy and qualified for the office and 1 think they should not be held back by third termers. Should l be elected 1 propose to hold the same attitude toward the people then as now. A man in office should be as friendly and as willing to serve his constituents then as when he was a candidate. I wish to call atten- tion to the fact that no one has asked for this office from Parker township for several years. This I think should be considered. We have stood firmly by the candidates from other town ships all this time, now we are asking for a return support, which is only fair and right.
 Now, if elected, mean to give my very best efforts to the work. To serve the people to their advantage and if possible lessen the work of the Equalization Board thereby cutting down expense to the county and elim- mating much of the worry to the tax payers. l expect to meet all the vot- CTS of the county, or as many, as time will permit, and have face to face talk with them. I desire the support of every voter in the county and es- pecially the influence of my support CTS on the day of the Primary March the 22nd.
 Leaving my all to you and hoping my efforts will be crowned with sue cess.
 I am your for consideration, w. M. GRAIN.

TO THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS OF THE 9TH CHANCERY DIS
 TRICT OF ARKANSAS

l hereby announce my candidacy for Chancery Judge of this Circuit, sub ject to the Democratic primary to be held March 29th, 1916, to succeed James D. Shaver, the present incum- bent
 In doing so 1 deem it proper to re fer to myself. I was born in Little River County 43 years ago. re- ceived my education in the schools of this State, and on arriving to my ma jority I worked for several years in various capacities, and held by election the office of Circuit Clerk of Little River County. In the meantime I de voted my leisure time to the study of law. When retiring from office became a farmer, which vocation followed for several years until mis- fortune from overflow from Red River swept away all l had acquired. then returned to my studies and the practice of law, having previously been admitted to the bar, and have now been actively engaged in that profession for the last ten years, in Texarkana, Arkansas.
 1 My license to practice extends to all the courts of this State, both State and Federal. 1 am one of seven sons of E. s. Sanderson, who was one of the pioneers of this State. My family consists of wife and four children.
 As to my general qualifications as citizen and lawyer, 1 refer you to all who know me, both laymn and law yers, preachers, doctors and teachers. If I am lacking in the attainments necessary to hold this high office with both credit to myself and satisfaction to litigants, asking equity, l do not ask your vote, but if you believe me capable and otherwise qualified, 1 so- licit your support.
 Judge Shaver, the present incum- bent, when his term expires will have held this office, by appointment and election for sixteen years. l believe the public interest as we'll as the party interest requires occasional changes in this office. I have looked forward to ! the time when Judge Shaver would voluntarily abandon his candidacy, but he seems to think he is holding by life tenure instead of by term of years.
 With my experience in the business affairs of life, and dealing as l have with all kinds of litigation in the gen eral practice of law for ten years, feel like I can do equally as good, if not better, service to the public, and
The Prescott daily news., 1916-01-05

deal as fairly by the litigants, who have business before the court, as he has done. The judge is not, nor does he claim to be, infallible. Many of his opinions are reversed by the Supreme Court, as is the case of every trial judge. If he were infallible, and at all times dealt out equal and exact justice under the law, there might be some reason for the people to con- tinue him indefinitely. Forty per- cent of the cases from Judge Shaver's court reported in the Supreme Court have been reversed.
 This place is an honorable prefer ment, not of the lawyers, but of the people, rehecting honor on the one pre- rerred, and if you believe I possess the necessary qualifications, feel am entitled, as a citizen and lawyer, to receive this honor at your hands.
 It will be my purpose to meet as many of you as possible during this campaign. shall ask that those who think as I do about this to take some interest in my behalf. I can do noth- ing toward my nomination save through you, the Democrats, who are disposed to help his neighbor up.
 Respectfully,
 M. F. SANDERSON.

WHY HUGHES is NEEDED nv
THIS TREMENDOUS CRISIS.

Against Mr.. Wilson's combina
ton Of grace in elocution with
futility In action against his
record of words nnbacked by
deeds or betrayed by deeds, we
set Mr.. Hughes rugged and I'M
compromising straightforward
les of character and action In
every office he has held. We put
the man who thinks and speaks
directly, and whose words have
always been made good, against
the man whose adroit and facile
elocution Is used to conceal his
plans Or his want of plans. The
next four years may we'll be
years of tremendous national
strain. Which of the two men
do you, the American people,
wish at the helm during those
four years; the man who has
been actually tried and found
wanting, or the man whose
whole career in public office is
Il guarantee of his power and
good faith? But one answer Is
possible; and II must be given by
the American people throughout
the United States.--From speech
of Col. Theodore Roosevelt. de
livered at Lewiston. Maine, In
behalf of Charles II. Hughes.

career Of successful lnfamy had

attacked Columbus. New Mexico,

TELLING Tariff Points


Let these telling points on tariff
and protection in the speech by
Charles Evans Hughes. the Republic
can candidate for President, delivered
In the Salt Lake Tabernacle. be fixed
permanently Ia your mind and
memory during the remainder Of the
campaign:
We are DESTROYS Of having strong
and sure the foundations of y %.

pioyed In the City Of New York.
There WIS not a city la this land

They were fed by nj charitable or

ing OF this war, you must have an

law to protect American industry.

YOU would know what our condition
will be when the war ends, think OF
what our condition was before that

are so impoverished that they cannot

of men now lighting are better able
10 work than ever before In their
lives. Their factories are
there; their plants are there; they
know themselves better than ever be-
fore. They are better disciplined,
more alert, keener, stronger, better
physically than yer before. in the
main, and they are ready to turn
great national energies into the pur-
suits of peace TO pay their war bills,

WILSON'S IGNOBlE, uNSUc-
CESSFUL LITTLE WARS.

President Wilson tok Vera
Cruz in 1914, as we were official
ly informed at the time, to get
a salute for the flag, and to
prevent the shipment of arms
into Mexico. He did not get his
salute. He did not prevent the
shipment Of arms. But several
hundred men were killed or
wounded; and then he brought
the army home without achlev-
ing either object. President
Wilson sent an army into Mexico
in 1916, as we were Informed
at the time, to get Villa "dead
or alive" They did not get him
dead. They did not get him
alive. Again several hundred
men were killed and wounded.
Again President Wilson is bring
ing the army home without
achieving his object. OF course
It Is a mere play upon words
to say that these we're not
wars" They were wars, and
nothing else; ignobIe, pointless,
unsuccessful little wars; but
wars. They cost millions Of dol
lars and hundreds Of lives,
squandered to no purpose; they
accomplished nothing; but they
were wars.-Fr rom tho speech Of
