Charles Sweeny for. Senator


As business proposition the candidacy of Mr. Charles
Sweeny for the United States senatorshp is which
will commend itself to every Spokane business man,
CARELESS of political affiliations factional strife AS
successful business Mr.. Sweeny appeals to the bust
ness of the community.
It is only after careful of the situation,
searching examination into the fitness of the
ddates and their environments commercial and POLITICAL
that The Press has arrived at conclusion of facts
CARDS the senatorial contest This conclusion is not based
on political grounds 1t is the logical sequence of the
careful study of existing conditions.
Mr.. Sweeny is not chronic politician. He does not
need the office OF support to jugge with for
financial benefits. He has life and death mortgages
to lift political favortes to reward, machine to
carry His administration of the high Office would be
that Of untrammeed business man, devoting to the
business of the people the high the
energy and sound judgment which has made him fore
most figure in the business world.
Equipped a successful business man, free of the
political combinations which would hamper others in the
senatorial race, wealthy and independent, Mr. Sweeny
would be able to do for the state Of Washing on
than any other whose has been proposed. In
the senate he would be listened to. His training in hand
hing his large sefmade fortune fits him for the difficult
work of the committees where the real legislation Of the
people is done.
It was offered in opposition to Senator W. A. Clark of
Montana that he too rich to be given seat in
the senate His wealth. it charged would make him
Indifferent to the needs of his state and would convert
him into social figure helpless in the face of combining
1abors in committees the floor
In this instance the opposite has been true No harder
working senator is in Washington than the senator from
Montana. He has done good for his state than all
the other senators from that almost rudderess
wealth His position rapidly taken and today his
advice and support is consistently sought than that
of any other western senator. His business ability has
been of real benefit to his state than the political
skill of his opponents Instead of vacant seat his chair
in the senate and committee has been filled
stantly and ably. Today Senator W. A. Clark occupies
foremost position in the national capital position
solely by the application of his great business ability to
the public needs.
The Press in making this statement Mr.. Sweeny s
candidacy has end in view except to the greatest
good for the people of this state and especially the citizens
of eastern Washington and Spokane county. Had this
countys choice for this high office been made by popular
vote Mr. Sweeny might not have been the But Mr..
Sweeny is in the field He has chance to win and in his
winning this county will win and will have repre-
sentative at Washington whereas have
Therefore The Press advances Mr. Sweenys claims for
local support.

ROADS BUILT UNDER COMPETENT
SUPERVISION.

The results Of good reading building BY
state and under the supervision Of q
competent engineer have been seen in
New Hampshire. Recently a gathering
of automobilists was held in the mountain
region Of that state and automobiles
went there from all parts Of New England
and New York. Accustomed to good
roads in their own states these men were
loud In their praise Of the dirt roads Of
New Hampshire, some declaring that the
highways were as good as those in the
Massachusetts highway system which is
notably excellent. And these New Hamp-
shire roads which are good for the au-
tomoblists are good for any kind of traF-
ell. These roads were mainly built at
state expense and within the past two
years have been kept In good repair under
a skilled engineer who is state officer
and who is working with state funds 1t
is largely due TO this fact that the roads
! were so satisfactory to the Automobiles.
The Concord Monitor says that the praise
Is "a splendid endorsement Of the policy
which was adopted BY the last Legislature
IN highway matters and which, Il contin-
ued and made to apply Ia every section,
win soon result IN giving us complete
network Of good serviceable dirt roads all
over the state, inexpensiyely built and
cheaply maintained, and yet alluring
enough to bring here hundred automo.
bile travellers where one comes now.
Similar to this New Hampshire method,
regarding state supervision Of money ex-
pended BY the state in building roads, Is
the scheme proposed by those interested in
good roads in Vermont. The results
would be equally satisfactory in Vermont
as In New Hampshire.
