of party affiliations, know that if they
are elected the interests of this state will
be guarded with greater care than here.
tofOre.
Mr.. Cotterill is Civil Engineer by pro-
fession and is therefore peculiarly quail
fed to secure the necessary appropria.
tions for our rivers and harbors and for
building irrigation bitches IN pursuance
OF the law recently enacted by Congress,
appropriating money for that purpose.
He lie, in addition ,one of the best political
economists in the state of Washington
and is abreast of the times on all the
questions that might come before him in
his capacity az congressman.
Mr.. Cole is a lum herman and is closely
identified with the great lum bering
interests Of Puget Sound. This industry
is the largest single resourse in the state
Of Washington, and Mr.. Cole is in a
position TO speak authoritatively on all
matters pertaining to it. He is in addi-
ton, a scholar and student, and a man
of affairs and would be an honor to the
state, as well as the party.
Mr.. Holcomb is an extensive land
owner in eastern Washington and has
been identified with the growth and
development of the farming interests of
the state for the last Is years. He is an
able lawyer with very extensive prac-
tice in both state and federal courts.
The democratic party, therefore, is
peculiarly fortunate in it's nominees for
congress. All of these men are free from
personal or corporate influences and
every man in the state, whether he be
millionaire or day laborer, will receive
at their hands absolute justice.
The people of eastern Washington are
practically unanimous in their demand
for railroad commission, believing, as
they do, that freight rates for handling
farm products have been too high, and
also that the corporate interests of this
state have escaped from paying their
just proportion of their taxes in sup.
port OF government. TO the people OF
eastern Washington, this, perhaps. is
the paramount issue.
In western Washington, where we
have many great saw mills and shingle
mills and thousands of men engaged IN
the numbering camps and in our factor
les, the people are deeply interested in
the exclusion Of the Chinese and jap
anese la6orers. They have watched with
a great deal of pleasure the attitude of
Senator Turner on all Of these questions
as they have come before the United
States Senate, and democrats and repub.
licans alike are supporting the demo-
cratic nominees for the legislature to
make sure the re-election of Senator
Turner.
In addition to these questions, the
people of Washington are all almost
unanimously in favor of carrying out this
nations solemn promise with the people
OF Cuba with regard to reciprocal trade
relations. 1t is we'll known that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has taken strong stand
in favor OF passing law for reciprocal
trade with Cuba. Congressman Cush-
man and Jones, who have represented
this state in congress for the last four
years, and who have been renominated
by their party. are both opposed to the
president in this matter, and during the
last congress were known as "insur-
gents" They voted repeatedly against
the recommendations of President
Roosevelt and may be expected to do sc
again if they should be reelected.
i 1t is evident, therefore, that if the
people of this state desire to send
representatives to congress who will
back up the president in fulfilling our oh.
legations SO sacredly binding upon us to-
ward the Cubans, they must, of necessity
elect the democratic nominees to con.
gress because they all stand pledged to
support the president in every effort to-
ward extending our commerce by re-
ciprocal treaties with the other nation;
OF the world, as well as Cuba.
The issues, therefore, as l said in the
beginning, are clearly defined, and plac.
. ing our reliance upon the intelligence
and patriotism of the people of this
state, and depending upon our citizens
to vote for their own best interests
without regard to party, we 60 before
the people OF this state confident o.
, righteousness and justice of our princi'
t Piles, proud of the standing OF our candi.
dates and satisfied that the result ir
November will prove an overwhelming
victory for honesty, economy, efficiency
ability and democracy.
