LET'S KEEP SOME OF 1T.

George Putnam is quietly support
ing Grieves for sheriff. With his
hand solidly on the throttle of the
county court, with his protege, Kelly,
holding down the office of prosecut-
ing attorney, and the prosecuting at
torney is the legal adviser of the
grand jury, then if George can con-
troll the sheriff's office, matters will
stand pretty safe with him. Then he
will control the whole situation and
is ready to proceed in riproaring
fashion without fear of being stopped
by the courts Already Putnam has
dictated a world of discrimination in
expenditure of road funds-a great
deal of it against Ashland. He ad-
vlses disregard of law, and so far has
gotten away with it. When he has
the county court, the sheriff's office
and the prosecuting attorney under
his thumb he can make Ashland, or
any other locality, dance jig to his
music. And along with the rest of it
he is trying to beat Gardner so he can
get the county printing at his own
price. Looks like a good scheme to
support those candidates Putnam is
against. According to Putnam's no
tion, Gardner and Curly Wilson COM
mitted objectionable offenses when
they refused to be led by his cunning
advice.
How do you like Putnam's dicta-
ton, Mr.. Voter? If you don't like it
tomorrow is the day to swipe him by
voting for Gardner for clerk, Wilson
for sheriff and Judge Watson for
prosecuting attorney.

MORE MUDDY WATER.

George Putnam says it's shame
the people are after HIS county court
just at the time the Sweeney suit is
under advisement by the Multnomah
district court.
Again he attempts to cloud the
issue by muddying the water
It is as If George had said: ut
doesn't make any difference how
much MY county court disregards the
law, or discriminates against locali-
ties in the matter of road fund dis
tribution, they should be let alone
because Sweeney has sued the coun-
ty."
At odd times George is great
champion of the Oregon system. Now
he is afraid of the effect of public
sentiment on the Multnomah courts
decision. That is, he says he is. In
fact, that is not what ails George
He has not yet offered a single reason
why HIS county court should not be
recalled. With the coldest, calculat-
ed design he attempts to raise a false
issue, while cheeping not sillable
on the real issue. He is trying to
frighten the people out of their in
tent to recall HIS court. That is all.
However, from the apparent tenn
per of the Medford citizens who
Launched" the recall petitions in
Ashland, it will take more than a
bluff of that sort to dissuade them.
Either the court has fallen so far
short of its legal duty that recall is
justifiable, or it has not. If not,
why does not George attempt to show
that HIS court is still worthy Of con-
fidence? Is that job too great, even,
for George, the king of defenders?
The evidence in the Sweeney case
Is all in. 1t has been duly tried. The
decision will be based on the facts
and the evidence. 1t is not trying the
county court, but the Sweeney case.
The recall has nothing to do with the
case and George knows it He is sim
ply scared and yelping for help.

oners, and asks his audience if that
was war or peace. He never fails
to get the response "war."
He reads Mr. Wilson's secret in
structions to John Lind, that Huerta
must be ousted from Mexico and re-
lates the incidents of the seizure of
Vera Cruz and demands to know if
that was war or peace, and again his
audiences shout "war."
ut was war," declares Mr.. Hughes
"blundering, ignoble, personal war
The administration forsook our citi-
zens. The McXicans hated us for in
termeddling and soorned us for our
failure to protect our own. We in
tervened in folly, not to protect Am
erican rights, but to promote revolu
ton and destroy the only government
that" Mexico had. We aided in des-
troying without making any provision
whatever for restoration. Is such
policy of war and destruction to be
permitted to masquerade as peace?"

GROWING
FOR MISS RANKIN

Helena, Oct. 3O.-Favorable senti-
ment which has prevailed for many
weeks with regard to the candidacy
Of Miss ,eanrette Rankin, whose cleo
ton to congress on the republican tick
ct is already generally conceded, is
still growing, AID predictions Of the
past week ind cate that Montana will
send the first congresswoman to Wash
ington with the biggest majority ever
given to any candidate on any ticket
in the state.
Huge crowds have gathered to hear
Miss Rankin wherever she has spoken
and the ovations accorded her have
been phenomenal. In Great Falls the
opera house was packed to the high
est balcony, and when Miss Rankin
rose to speak, the demonstration was
so prolonged and so deafening that
it was several minutes before she was
allowed to begin her talk. In Ana
conda several hundred people were
turned away from the meeting, for
lack of standing room. Two halls
were packed in Butte, so that when
Miss Rankin finished speaking in one,
she was hurried to the next one to
address an audience as great as that
in the first.
Miss Rankin has been speaking on
the tariff, the farm loan law, the con-
gressional duties regarding patents
and appropriations, and other nation
al questions, urging support for the
entire republican ticket; and her abil
ity and knowledge and forceful speak
ing have won her unbounded admira-
ton

Charles E. Hughes has declared to be
our urgent duty as a nation"
Unfortunately, the policies of the
Democratic party are not adapted to
the changing conditions which await
US. The ink was hardly dry on their
platform declaration Of renewed faith
in a tariff for revenue only when they
had TO admit the complete failure Of
the Underwood law to meet their own
extravagant expenditures, by turning
to direct taxation upon the industries
Of the nation.
They utterly ignore the fact that
the moment the war orders cease their
revenue from these sources will stop,
and with the lowest tariff in the world
in operation here, our markets will be
wide open to the exports of our rivals
while theirs will be closed to US.
The Paris declaration Of the Allies,
after referring to various things that
may be done to control the trade of
the world, says Whatever may be the
method adopted, the object aimed at
by the Allies is to increase the pro-
duction within their territories, as a
whole, to sufficient extent to enable
them to maintain and develop their
economic position and independence
in relation to enemy countries
If this means anything, it means
that they will not sell to us at COM
petitive prices the raw materials which
they control and which they say they
will conserve for themselves above
all Others but that they intend to
do the manufacturing and sell the
finished product at prices dictated and
maintained by the greatest interna-
tional trust and combination which
the world has ever seen.
1t means that the carrying out of
this policy on the part Of the Allies
will involve the abrogation of all COM
mercial treaties. And yet the Demo-
cratic party deliberately handicaps by
direct legislation the very industries
which must receive the heaviest blows
in this great struggle.

Cfice has failed to send notices Of re-

This is a political scheme because a
veteran whose pension is pending and
who does not know whether it will
be allowed or rejected is not apt to
be hostile to the Wilson adninistra-
ton. Thousands ofthese claims are
being held up in an endeavor by Com
missioner Saltzgaber, or his assist
ants, to aid Wilson's campaign.
