POINDEETER FOR CONGRESS
Some Flattering Press Notices OF Ills
Candidacy

Wenatchee World: As the cam
paign progresses it becomes more anc
more apparent that the next congress
man of the district comprising eastern
Washington is to be Judge Miles Poin-
dexter, of Spokane. Poindexter j:
strong in every county in which he !:
known. In Spokane county he has
already a working club Of several thou
sand members. In Walla Walla county,
where he formerly was prosecuting at
torney, he will poll a much stronger
vote than all of the other candidates
put together. The same might be
said of Chelan county, if indications
count for anything. In Yakima county
Poindexter is the favorite candidate.
The same is true in Stevens county.
The people Of the eastern part OF
Washington might well feel proud to
claim as their representative in con-
gress a man of the stamp Of Miles
Poindexter. He will stand up among
the best and strongest men in the
country's legislative body.
Republic News Miner: Judge Miles
Poindexter, OF Spokane, candidate for
congress on the republican ticket for
this district, spoke to large audience
at the courthouse Tuesday night. Mr..
Poindexter is an able and entertaining
talker, a man conversant with national
and state issues. He is native OF
Virginia, and though he has been away
from his home state for seventeen
years, still retains the southern brogue
and the courteous, affable mannerisms
Of good old southern stock. He's a
most excellent fellow to meet and, be-
ing a good, everyday sort of fellow,
made lots of friends and won votes.
Deer Park Union: Judge Poindexter,
who made the class address at the
graduating exercises here Thursday, is
candidate for congress on the repub-

support Of every voter who wishes an

Wenatchee Republic: Poindexter
seems to be the strongest Of the Spo-
kane candidates. He served as prose-

for several terms, is man clean NOR
ally, and has a fine record as superior
court judge Of Spokane county. He
is very popular all over the district.
Republic Record: OF Judge Poin-
dexter we know but little outside of
his service on the bench, which has
been successful and honorable, and
after all is a position which brings out
the bad or good in man. His past
record shows that he does possess the
courage of his convictions. He is an
able speaker and should make a good
campaign.
Cheney Free Press: Judge Miles
Poindexter, who is candidate for con-
gress from the third district, was in the

ed this state in congress in such an
able manner.

Poindexter, Of Spokane, arrived Satur-
