NEEDS NO DEFENSE
EX-SENATOR TURNER'S RECORD
ON RAILROAD LEGISLATION.
The Spokane Spokesman.Review, the Leading
Republican Paper Of Eastern Washington,
Gives the Record of its Eminent Townsmar,
and It Needs no Defense.

Judge Turner was never employed at
any time in his career as attorney for
any existing railroad in this state. He
was Tor short time retained as general
counsel by a company which sought to
build branch OF the Canadian Pacific
into Spokane. That employment ceased
over year ago.
1t is evident, however, that this cam
paign is to be one of falsehood. Ready
made editorials are being ground out in
Seattle. under the direction of State
Chairman Palmer and "Charlie" Cham
berlain, chief political agent for J. d.
Farrell, for publication in every paper
which the railroad crowd can cajple or
bride into supporting its ticket. These
editorials" convey misrepresentation
and falsehood concerning Judge Turner.
Their purpose is to "kick up a dust"
and blind the eyes of tile voters to the
real issues of the campaign.
Judge Turner's record on the railroad
question needs no defense in this state
where he has lived for 20 years. As a
member OF the constitutional convention
he wrote into the state constitution those
provisions giving to to the legislature the
power to regulate rates and fares and to
create a railroad commission. He was
the author Of the section making it man.
datory upon the legislature to pass legis-
lation prohibiting public officials from
riding on free transportation Of the sec.
ton forbiding the consolidation of com.
peting railway lines within the state
and of the section prohibiting railway
"pooling."
Judge Turner drafted and worked for
the railroad commission bill which was
defeated in the legislature OF 1897. When
James ]. Hill organized his Northern
Securities company, by which he pro-
posed to merge the Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern, Judge Turner wrote
strong letter to Governor Rogers ad-
vising him to institute suit on behalf of
the state to dissolve the merger. He
also presented brief to Attorney Cen
eral Knox. of President Roosevelt's cab
met, which was OF great aid to that Off
cial in preparing his bill in equity against
the merger.
Such in brief is the railroad record OF
George Turner. His career has been
markell by splendid independence of cor.
porate dictation so marked indeed that
every political honor which he has en-
joyed has been won against the allied
hosts of corporate bossism. His record
is guarantee that if elected governor
no railroad boss will give him his orders.
If he were a railroad henchman every
railroad.owned sheet in the state would
not be attacking and vilifying him now.

JEFFERSONIAN is LAWBREAKER
Chairman of Republican
State Central Commit
tee Violates Law.

f. b. Palmer, who was made chair
man of the republican state central CON-
mittee at the behest OF John l.. Wilson,
says tine Spokane Spokesman. Review, is
said to have solicited contributions from
pc tmasters to the republican campaign
fund. The attention of the postotlice
authorities has been called to a letter
signed by Palmer and addressed to the
postmaster OF Everett, IN which it is
stated that "a contribution of 800 from
second class postmasters would, in the
judgment Of the committee, be equitable
and greatly appreciated by yours truly"
This is TIE old fashioned method OF
making Office holders dig up" for the
party cause 1t was carried to such ex-
emes. the exactions Of party managers
became so oppressive and the effects of
the practice were SO demoralizing that
congress took steps to protect federal
officials by the passage Of law making
such solicitation an ohense punishable
by fine or imprisonment.
Apparently, United States statute is
not enough to deter Mir. Palmer or his
advisers from attempting to follow the
old practice that was considered suffi.
GENTLY vicious to be condemned by law.
If those now in control of the party in this
state can be hishhanded in one thing,
they can be highhanded in another. The
little matter of violation of federal
statute is of slight consequence provided
the desired end is attained.
Probably the postoffice department
will take different view OF the offense.
If there is one thing that President
Roosevelt has frowned on, it is these
campaign irregularities that throw dis.
credit upon the party. II the facts are
as alleged, he will no doubt promptly
instruct the postofllce department to
take such action as the necessities of the
case may require, while those guilty of
the offense will be dealt with bv those
having proper authority.
Evidently Mr.. Palmer and those re.
sponsible for him are not the persons
best suited to manage the affairs OF the
republican party, if it is to be decently
directed with some regard for its good
name and some respect for the law.

A. S. Cation and W. f. Haycox, a fran.
chse for the construction and operation
of an electric railway line through that

ance work is to be commenced inside of
a year. and the road is to be in operation
inside OF two years. The road is to run
from Olympia to Aberdeen, with a
branch at Gate City to Centrala and
Chehalis in Lewis county.
The route OF the road takes it through
the best farming country in the South

settlement and improvement OF Chehals,
Lewis and Thurston counties, enabling
farmers to get their produce to market at
a reasonable cost, and giving quicker and
better communication.

Taken with Cramps.

VIM. Kirman, a member OF the bridge
gang working near Llttleport, was taken
suddenly i'll Thursday night with cramps
and kind of cholera. His case was so
severe that he had to have the members
of the crew wait upon him and Mr.. Gift
ford was called and consulted. He told
them he had medicine in the form of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarr-
hoea Remedy that he thought would
help him out and accordingly several
doses were administered with the result
that the fellow was able to be around
next day. The incident speaks quite
highly of Mr.. Gifford's medicines Elka-
der, Iowa, Argus. This remedy never
fails. Keep it in your home, it may save
life. For sale by all druggists. IN
