"Whereas, it appears to the cen

that the future material ADVANCE
ment of the country, more especially
that of the Pacific coast,is along the
line of industrial development, and
to that end it is important that the
successor of the late Congressman r.
w Cushman shall be bushes man
rather than one whoe life work has
been along professional lines, and be-
Heving that future legislation OF
national character will look rather
to the development of opportunity
and resource, and will require the
close attention and eXperienc OF
mind traind to business rather than
law; and
"Whereas, we believe that Edward
C. Finch of Chehalis county mas, IN
a successful career of 20 years SHOWN
that he has a perfect and thorough
understanding of the conditions and
opportunities existing in the state
of Washington, and that as he has
been successful in his private al
fairs he will be likewise successful
in the interests of the public; and
"Whereas, we believe that he is
broad enough to represent not one
locality alone, but will be absolutely
fair and impartial to each and every
part of not only this congressional
district but to the entire state, coast
and nation; therefore, be it
Resolved, that we indorse mis-
candidacy and instruct the delegates
