oPFICTAL CTTY PAPER.
NJ. Bull for Representative.

n. Bull for Representative.
1t is not in disparagement to the
other candidates for the Legislature on the
republican ticket tba. we give an ex-
tended endorsement to Moses Bull, but
it is because we believe that he is one of
the best qualified, aud one whom the
farmers and business men of this county
need. that we submit his name as the
one above all others that should receive
an "X" on the day Of election.
Forty years residence on this coast
gives HIM mind ripe in experience as
to the varied wants Of the diversified IN
dustriss Of the state. His legal training
gives him the advantage of a di Grimm
aing Judgment, quick to detect flaws
and imperfections in proposed legislation,
and lie self confidence to urge that
which is good and oppose that which is
bad. A man may know what is good
and hat is bad when he sees it, but the
ability to express himself thereon at the
proper time and in the proper manner
only comes from experience in legislative
work, or other work that has the same
training. There are a great many laws
that should be made, and others that
ehould be amended by our legislature
this winter TO meet the changed CON
dition of affairs, and many OF these ideas
have not even suggested themselves to
many of the other candidates. Not so
with Mr.. Bull; he has given this needed
legislation consideration, and if he should
be elected will be prepared to introduce
the bills in the early days o the session,
thereby insurlng them consideration in
the committee and in the house. Among
those bills which he has under consider
alton is an amended homestead law ex-
tending protection to the unfortunate
debtor, and making that protecti n fact
instead of theory as it now is. Also.
the amendment of the laborers lien law,
to make it do the work intended without
INJURY to any one. The reduction of
the penalty and interest on delinquent
taxes to eight per cent, instead of 20
per cent, as it now is; the enactmedt of
a good insolvency law which will allow
honest debtors TO surrender their prop
erty to their creditors and be released
from the burden OF their indebtedness;
the creation of the office of a state weigh
er and grader of gram and other farm
products; the amendment of the chattel
mortgage law, to save expense in max |
ing and recording chattel ortgages; |
and other laws of like Importance to
every man in Whitman county. To
amend law it is necessary to know just
what the effect of the old law is, to know
its defects, and to make new law re-
quires study to avoid the errors by
which its purpose may be defeated; this
car only come from experience IN, and !
of, the law. We have no doubt
but that some of the other candidates on
any of the tickets would vote for such
bills when they we're presented, but
Whitman county should send men TO
the legislature who are capable of draft
ing and championing such bills.
Should Mr.. Bull be elected he will be
the representative OF the people, and
will try and carry out their wishes and
desires TO the best of his ability, and no
one, whether democrat, populist or re-
publican, need have the least hesitancy
in suggesting to him their wishes, If
elected, Whitman county will never have
cause to regret that they selected Moses
Bull as their representative.
