this State will be guarded with greater
care than heretofore.

care than heretofore.
Mr.. Cotterill is Civil Engineer by
profession and is therefore peculiarly
qualified to secure the necessary ap-
propriations 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 is, 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
as a Congressman.
Mr.. Cole is a lumberman and is
closely identified with the great lum-
bering interests of Puget Sound. This
industry is the largest single resource
in the State Of Washington, and Mr..
Cole is in a position to speak authori-
tatively on all matters pertaining to it.
He is in addition, a scholar and stu.
dent, and man of affairs and would
be an honor to the State, as we'll 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 q very extensive
practice in both State and federal
courts.
The Democratic party, therefore, 10
peculiarly fortunate in its nominees
for Congress. All Of these men are
free from personal or corporate influ-
ences and every man in the State,
whether he be a millionaire or a day
laborer, will receive at their hands ab-
solute justice.
The people of Eastern Washington
are practically unanimous in their de-
mand for Railroad Commission, be-
lieving, 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 support 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
factories, the people are deeply inter.
ested in the exclusion of the Chinese
and Japanese laborers. They have
watched with 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 Republicans alike are
supporting the Democratic nominees
for the Legislature 10 make sure the
reelection of Senator Turner.
In addition to these questions, the
people of Washington are almost
unanimously in favor of carrying out
this nations solemn promise with the
people of Cuba with regard to recipro-
cal trade relations. It is we'll known
that President Roosevelt has taken q
strong stand in favor of passing Law
for reciprocal trade with Cuba. Con.
gressmen Cushman and Jones, who
have represented this State in Con
gress 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 Con.
gress we're known As insurgents u
They voted repeatedly against the rec
concentrations OF President Roosevelt
and may be expected to do 80 again il
they should be reelected.
| It is evident, therefore, that if the
people Of this State desire to send Rep
resentatives to Congress who will back
up the President in fulfilling our obi.
cations so sacredly binding upon ui
toward the Cubans, they must, of ne.
cessity, elect the Democratic nominees
to Congress, because they all stand
pledged to support the President in
every effort toward extending our com.
merce by, reciprocal treaties with the
other nations of the world, as we'll ai
Cuba.
The issues, therefore, as said in the
beginning, are clearly defined, and

genoe and patriotism of the people ol
this State, and depending upon ouI
citizens to vote for their own best in.

mocracy.
