Frink's Record Invites Inspection.
If the voters will carefully study the
record of Senator Frink they will dis
cover that while in the Legislature Of the
state of Washington he always voted in
favor OF the workingman. He has paid
out over $1,500,00O as an employer of
labor to his employees at the Washing
ton Iron Works, Seattle, where no strike
ever occurred, and good wages have al
ways been paid. Notwithstanding the
statements OF the opposition press and
speakers, he has persistently voted in
the interests OF the farmer. The only
two measures OF relief ever passed by
the legislature of the state OF Washing
ton upon the question of freight rates
were the WATSON and Anderson bills
Senator Frink voted in favor of both OF
them. Considerable discussion arises
over what is known as the Helm Morgan
bill. Identically the same bill was con-
currently introduced in the senate and
house. In the senate it was known as
the Helm bill-in the house as the Nor
gan BILL The Morgan bill passed first;
the Helm bill in the senate was indefi-
nitely postponed, Senator Helm as well
as Senator Frink voting in favor of this
postponement in order that action
might be had on the Morgan bill. When
the vote was taken on this bill Senator
Frink is recorded as having been absent.
The bill failed to pass, but when Senator
Crow of Whitman county moved for a
reconsideration in order to make a fur
Their effort to pass the bill, Senator
Frink voted with him, showing his
friendliness to the measure. With re-
spect to the railroad commission bill, it
was a creature of Governor Rogers,
tackled on to another bill which was al
most unanimously voted against by the
republicans, in which they were Joined
by the middle-of-the-road populists, who
determined not to allow Rogers any
such liberties. 1t was therefore not
trink's opposition, but the populists
! themselves, who killed the bill.

The great democratic rOorback of the

Beware OF it.
Don't believe it.
1t has without any doubt been care
fully nursed at democratic headquarters
for months, in readiness to be sprung at
the last moment in the campaign, SO
that election day will pass before it's
falsity can be thoroughly understood by
the mass Of the people.
No one can tell in what shape it will

1t may be pure forgery, as was the
Morey letter of 1880.
It may be a charge that some infuen-
tial republican is involved in a great
scandal.
1t may be that some republican will be
accused Of writing something hurtful to

1t may be that Mr.. Mckinley or Mr..

his grandmother's aunt's cousin, or
something equally absurd.

Fusion newspapers on the east side
are devoting columns of manufactured
articles sent across the mountains in an
attempt to lead the people here to a be-
het that Congressman Cushman will be
knitted at Seattle and in King county.
The only reason assigned is that he lives
at Tacoma. The splendid receptions
accorded Mr.. Cushman at Seattle and
other King county points entirely dis
prove the fusion assertion that King
county has any luminosity against him
because his home is at Tacoma. II ia q

The fusion opposition is challenged TO
produce in the state of Washington a
better friend OF the laboring man than
the republican candidate for governor,
Hon. John NJ Frink. AS president Of
the Washington Iron Works of Seattle,
he has been for many years a large en-
ployer OF labor; he has always paid the
highest wages; he has disbursed among
employees more than $1,5OO,OOO, and a
strike never occurred in the works. This
record speaks for itself.

No republican should yitiate the effect
OF his ballot for the republican national
ticket by voting for Rogers and a fusion
state government. Mr.. Frink the TO-
publican gubernatorial nominee believes
IN the principles of the national renuhli-

MIR. Frink believes in keering the aao

is for hauling it down in disgrace Fr;nL
shows by an honorable record Of monr
years that the state government nnder
him would be conducted in an honorable
way. Rogers has demonstrated br IL
