THE STATE TICKET MEAD'S SUPERIOR
GEO. TURNER LEADS A. E. MEAD
IN ALL RESPECTS.
In the United States Senate Turner Commanded
the Respect Of His Colleagues Regardless
of Party, and Was Highly Regarded by
President Roosevelt.

of Party, and Was Highly Regarded by
President Roosevelt.
Thousands OF voters in Washington
| will support George Turner for governor
irrespective OF the railroad issue, because
OF his intellectual superiority over A. f..
Mead, his opponent. 1t is rare that a
man of Judge Turner's acknowledged
abilities and qualities of craftsmanship
consents to make the race for the gov
ernorship of state. But now that such
man is in the field it is not surprising
that many republican voters want to Sc
cure for the state the services of a chief
executive SO we'll qualified for the duties
he will be called upon to discharge.
Judge Turner has lived in Washington
for over % years. He came here when
this state was territory with small
population, and he has witnessed and
participated in it's growth to common 9.
wealth of impressive magnitude. He has
lived in both central and eastern Wash
ington. He knows the resources and
needs of every section, almost of every
hamlet and voting precinct in the state.
He was member of the constitutional
convention, and had more to do than
any other member of that body with
shaping and molding the fundamental
law of the state. AS a constitutional
lawyer, Judge Turner's associates at the
bar, irrespective of politics, concede al
most universally, that he has no superb
ors and few if any equals in the whole
northwest.
Nor has Judge Turner's field of states
manship been limited to the confines OF
the state. AS Washington's representa-.
tive in the United States senate he com.
manded the respect and admiration Of
his colleagues on both sides OF the cham.
Der. He soon made it known to his fell
low senator's tn At one had come among
them from the far west who in learning
legal knowledge and statecraft was the
peer OF any man on the senate floor.
When his term in the senate expired,
President Roosevelt appointed Judge
Turner as a member of the Alaska bound
airy com mission-a position which called
for thesexercise OF judicial talents of the
highestsorder. President Roosevelt made
that appointment not only because of his
personal admiration for Judge Turner's
legal learning, but because it was rec
commended by such distinguished repub-
licsn lawyers as Senator John G. Spooner
OF Wisconsin, and Senator Joseph B,
Foraker OF Ohio.
Only few weeks ago President Roose-
welt again paid tribute to Judge Tur-
ner's ability as lawyer by appointing
him a member OF the American congress
OF jurists, which recently assembled in
st. Louis. He was one among about a
dozen lawyers selected by the president
from the legal fraternity OF the whole
United States.
1t is no disrespect to Mr.. Mead to say
that he is third rate lawyer. The bal
OF BelIingham, where he practices law,
is strong one, but even Mr.. Mead e
closest friends and persona: admirers will
not pretend that he ranks among tn G
leading lawyers of'the home city, much
less that he.has,any material rank among
the lawyers OF the state. The records
OF the supreme court disclose that he has
had few cases before that tribunal out.
side Of cases where he appeared as pros
ecuting attorney representing the state.
Mr.. Mead has attained no distinction
either in the business or professional life
of the state, though he has practiced law
in Washington for about Is years. When
the republican state convention met no.
body, save. of course, the inner coterie
of corporation bosses who controlled that
body, even dreamed that Mr.. Mead
would be nominated for governor; and it
is notorious that he was not nominated
on account of his ability or his qualifica.
ton for the office, but because OF his
serviceability to his corporation creators,
Outside Of the issues of this campaign,
Judge Turner should be elected because
OF his great superiority over his oppo'
nent in all the qualities which go tc
make up strong, able, clear headed
broad minded and capable executive.
