Nj. Crsech's Good Record.

Many inquiries have been mad
: concerning the record Of Representa-
tive J, W. Creech who 10 candidat'
for reconciliation by the Republican
> convention. 1t is only fair that bill
work 10 the legislature should be I'M
derStood by every voter.
Az is we'll known the state legisla'
ture Of 1905 passed many important
measures. Mr.. Crescb's support was
given by bis influence and vote to oil
these laws relating to railroads and
corporation:
| He voted for the "Garver railroad
BILL" the law now on the statute
books creating . board Of railway
commissioners and giving them power
over railway management. 1t 10 con-
Ceded to be the best railroad law pos
sesSed by any state.
He voted for the "mAximum freight
law" which enables indept ndent oil
re6nerieS to ship oil at a Pro6t-mak-
Ing rate aud successfully compete
with the oil trust.
He voted for the "anti-discrimina-
ton law" which forbids q dealer to
sell cheaper 10 one place than another,
freight considered. This was to
make the Standard Oil Co. stop cut.
ing prices to drive out Independent
dealers.
He voted for the "shiPpers' bill"
compelling railroads to give a free
pass to ope man with every load Of
stock and more with larger shipments.
This law helps every farmer and
stock dealer.
He voted for the law to protect
laborers, mechanics and other persons
working on buildings and providing
that arrangements must DO made for
their safety.
In addition be was one OF the
leaders In securing the passage OF the
law to protect the state school fund;
Of the state printer law that saves the
state $4,000 a year; OF the state de-
poSitary law that saves the state $780,.
900 a year.
Mr.. Creech was chairman Of the
ways and means Committee whiChhad
charge Of expenditures and income
and lite recommendations have been
by the entire state.
That Is q pretty good record for one
session Of the legislature and one on
which Mr.. Creech can stand and re- ,
,eive the endorsement Of his party

by him for the first time, and found
immediate favor with the society.
As a result il was determined to
hold quarterly meetings and resolu-
tions were passed to the effect that the

adopted city and exert every possible
influence to bear to secure needed TO.
