BECAUSE He WOULD NOT RUN FOR
CONGRESS.
Prominent Californian Who Vdlient-
iy Defended the Interests OF His
State While a Member OF the
House Spent Sunday In el Paso


Russell j. Waters. the California
congressman, who was in Ell Paso
Sunday night on his way to his home
in Los Angeles. after trip through
Mexico. is an important parsonage.
Mr. Waters was elected congressman
from the sixth district of California.
in 1898. He is republican. the first
one to be elected from that district for
several years. He defeated c. A. Bar
low the democratic nominee who was
con ngresSman AT that time
Mr.. Waters was urged to accept the
nomination again but refused though
the refusal had to be made many
times and very strong before his con-
stituents would agree not to run him
again. He is vice president of the Cit
liens bank at Los Angeles and has
other business, all of which made it
important that he stay at home and at
tend TO it.
His successor is a republican James
~ Nc Barlow the man who was after
ward defeated by Mr. Waters. In fact
very district in California. but one.
elected republican congressman this
ime. That one is the first. which has
long been solid for democracy. The re
publicans OF that district hoped to elect
a republican this time and thus prt
every district in California in the re-
publican column. but they put out
weak man and the democrats had ouy
an extra strong one.
Mr.. Waters worked as Il newspaper
reporter in Chicago. being on the Trib-
une staff. He afterwards studied law
was admitted to the bar and practiced
law in Chicago twenty years.
He is personally acquainted with
Congressman Boutelle. of Maine. an6

loss of mind and thinks it must have
come upon him very suddenly. as he
of mind while in congress. He is such
a popular man that Mr.. Waters says he
believes his constituents would con-
tinue to elect him as long as he was
above ground if he was able to fill the
Office mentally.
Mr.. Waters was at the head of the
fight against the French and Jamaica
treaties. introduced into congress by
ex-Congressman Kasson, who was at
the time of the introducing of the trea-
ties. treaty commissioner in the state
department. The treaty with France
was Il reciprocal treaty promoted by
the Standard Oil company. who hoped
to secure market for their oil in
France by getting France market for
wines. tropical fruits, etc. in the Uni
ted States. The idea was to lower the
tariff on Frances products which
would make France a dangerous COM
petitor to California as she could ell
ter her wines and fruits at low rate
of tariff and sell as cheaply as The
home producer N California. This
treaty and the Jamaica treaty, which
was similar and would have the same
effect. were fought so vehemently by
Congressman Waters and others that
they were withdrawn. This act WOE
Mr. " aters many friends outside of his
party in his district and il is no won
der that he was almost mobbed be-
cause he would not consent to be sent
to congress again.
