Gov. Hughes Is Greatest Friend
OF Labor Said N. Y. Labor News

THE Legislative Labor News, of New
York, October 10, 1910, had the
following)
Now that Governor Hughes has
retired from politics and ascended
to place on the highest judicial
tribunal in the world, the fact can
be acknowledged without hurting
anybody's political corns, that he
was the greatest friend of labor
laws that ever occupied the govern
ors chair at Albany. During his two
terms he has signed fifty-siX labor
laws. including among them the best
labor laws ever enacted in this or
any other state. He also urged the
enactment of labor laws in his mes
sage to the legislature, even going
so far to place the demand for la
bor law in one of his messages to an
extra session of the legislature.
Only 1862 labor laws have been en-
acted in this state since its erection
in 1777-in 1873 years. One-third
of these, exceeding in quality all of
the others, have been enacted and
signed during Governor Hughes S
term of three years and nine months.
With such a record of approval
and suggestion of progressive legisla-
tion in the interest of humanity to
his credit, it is easy to believe that
human rights will have a steadfast
and sympathetic upholder in the new
justice of the supreme court of the
United States.
Hughes On Labor.
"The interests of labor are the in
terests of all the people, and the pro-
lection of the wage-earner in the
security of his life and health by
every practicable means is one Of
the most sacred trusts of society"

statesmanlike guidance. with a sin

CHAUNCEY FLOREY.

Present recorder of Jackson coun-
ty and republican nominee for re-
election to the same office, is a ma
tive son of Jackson county, born at
Eagle Point on May 8, 1889, and
educated in the same city. His
father conducted a general store and
was postmaster of Eagle Point for a
number of years, and Mr.. Florey
gained considerable valuable expert
ence as assistant to him. He went
to Jacksonville in the fall of 1903
and was appointed deputy assessor
and held that position until his cleo
tion to the office of county recorder
two years ago. Mr.. Florey is mar
ried and the father of two children.
During his administration of the re-
corder's office that department of the
county government has been carried
on in a most highly efficient manner
and Mr.. Florey has proven himself
worthy of reelection to the position
which he has so capably filled.

BENZ. c. SHELDON

Benz. c. Sheldon, Republican nom
inee for Representative in the State
Legislature, was born in Missouri, but
moved TO Minneapolis, Mimi, when
eight years old. He was educated
in the public schools of Minneapolis
and the University of Minnesota. Nine
years ago he spent a year travelling
over the Pacific Coast country and
decided to locate in the valley, which
has been his home since.
In Minnesota he had heen secre-
tary and manager of large irriga-
tion company. In Oregon he has been
a rancher. He is taxpayer and
keenly alive to the need of keeping
taxes down to the lowest possible
limit.
Mr.. Sheldon has been one of the
consistent enthusiasts over the at
fractions of this valley, and his news
paper and magazine writings over the
country have gained for him repu
tation and acquaintance eXcelled by
few citizens of Southern Oregon. His
campaign of the state two years ago
for Ashland's normal school increas-
ed his reputation as hustler and
greatly widened his acquaintance.
One of the prominent newspapers men
recently visiting this section called
Sheldon the best known Southern
Oregonian through the rest of the
state.
He has been identified with some
of the most substantial and success
full moves for betterment, that haze
occurred in the valley He is progress
sive, level-headed, a tireless hustler
and that real ability that gets re-
suits.
He became a candidate for the
Legislature at the earnest request of
Ashland citizens who considered him
the most valuable advocate of their
normal schools cause that this sec
tion contained.
All in all. Mr.. Sheldon's ability,
zeal, reputation among those who
know him, devotion to this section,
and wide acquaintance over the state
make him an ideal man for Jackson
county's representative in the Legis-
lature.

Pres. Wilson Of Today Compared
with Prof. Wilson Of Yesterday

the least skillful of his fellows can
do within the hours allotted to a
days labor, and no one may work
out of hours at all or volunteer any
thing beyond the minimum. need
not point out how economically dis
astrous such regulation of labor is.
1t is so Improbable to the employer
that in some trades it will presently
not be worth his while to attempt
anything at all. He had better stop
altogether than operate at an inev-
liable and invariable loss. The labor
of America is rapidly becoming un-
profitable under its present regula-
tion by those who have determined
to reduce it to a minimum. Our eco
nOmic supremacy may be lost be-
cause the country grows more and
more full of Improbable servants. "
Woodrow Wilson, while president
of Princeton University, was request
ed by Professor Frank Parsons of
the Bureau OF Economic Research, in
September, 1905, to join with others
in signing this declaration:
Il. We favor the eight-hour day.
"2. Believing that the eight-hour
day means a longer and richer life,
a fairer diffusion of wealth and pow
er. a better citizenship and higher
civilization through leisure for edu-
cation, recreation, civic and social
life. we welcome each step in the
progress of the eight-hOur movement
and earnestly hope for the success OF
the Typographical Unions in their
effort to secure the eight-hour day.
Woodrow Wilson refused to sign
either of the propositions, saying:
1T seems to me that nothing of
this sort can be decided thus in the
abstract and that no valuable con-
clusion can be arrived at except by
real discussion of specific cases"
That is what Woodrow Wilson
then really thought Of the eight-hour
day-what he probably now thinks
about it, when permitted to think
free of labor leaders and unbiased
by the allurement of labor votes.
The above eXtractions from public
addresses made by Professor Wilson
Of yesterday show conclusively his at
titude towards labor before entering
politics. He most assuredly was
against labor at that time, and as he
was not candidate for office, he
certainly expressed himeslf candidly
and unreservedly upon the subject Of
labor.

ment.
2. Shorter hours for children in

Certificate Admits
OF Voting in State

Registered voters who will be
away from home on election day may
vote without trouble in any precinct
in the state by obtaining a certifi-
cate of registration from the county
clerk.
This will be of particular advan-
tagge to railroad men and travelling
statesmen who will find it impossible
to be in their home precinct on cleo
tion day.
When this certificate is obtained
it may be presented to the election
Judges in the precinct where the vot-
er happens to be on election day and
will be recognized as if the voter was
registered in that precinct.
After the election all such certifi-
Gates that are used will be returned
by the election officials to the coun-
ty clerk who issued them, and in
that way check will be possible so
no abuse can be made of the privi-
lege.
These certificates of registration,
of course, are not good outside of
the state of Oregon.

G. A. Gardner, present County
Clerk is candidate for reelection as
County Clerk.
Mr. Gardner was elected by the
people of Jackson county upon the
promise that he would systemize the
County Clerks office, conduct the
same in an economical, efficient and
business like maner. Since assum.
ing the duties of the office he has
carried out his prediction promises.
1t is worth any business mans
time to go into the County Clerks
office and see the system that has
been installed. Every detail of the Of
flee is properly looked after and the
accounts are so kept that any voter
or taxpayer can understand them.
The County Clerks office has been

Il. w. (CURLY) WILSON

In its choice for nominee for Sher
iff the Republican party is indeed
fortunate in selecting E. w. (Curly)
Wilson as their candidate.
Mr.. Wilson has been a resident oil
Jackson county for the greater part
of his life time, his parents having
moved to Jacksonville while he was
yet child.
After graduating from the public
schools he was employed for year
or two by Jerry Nunan, the pioneer
merchant of Jacksonville, after which
he became Deputy County Recorder,
and later Deputy Sheriff of Jackson
county, which position he has filled
with credit for the past four years.
Mr.. Wilson's character for homes
ty, integrity and sobriety is of the
highest order, he is strong, vigorous
and a leader in athletic sports, and
is not too proud to work as will he
seen by any one who will take time
to investigate his record as Deputy
in the Sheriff's office.
The Sheriffs office has reached a
high degree of efficiency and econ
omy as will be shown by the follow
ing excerpt from the certified pub
lie accountants report to the Coun-
ty Court, filed March 4, 1916, as fol-
lows (speaking of tax collections):
"All of these collections have been
promptly deposited in the treasury.
The Sheriff is observing the law re-
quiring all delinquent taxes to be
brought forward on the current rolls
and entered on the tax receipts.
This is a huge task, and they are
doing the work as diligently as pos
sible during the stress of a heavy
tax collection. It is praiseworthy in
the Sheriff to find his office admin
istered with no hustle or confusion.
Only expert men are employed In the
office, in the tax collections and 9th
er departments of the office. And
it is a pleasure to find Jackson coun-
ty coming forward as one of the best
differed counties in the state.
Undoubtedly 1t is economy to en-
ploy only efficient men in the office
