VeatCh Endorsed

A. +. NeatCh, editor Of the Col
vile Index, is making a
strong campaign for congress from
the third district as successor to
Miles Poindexter, who is making a
canvass for the senatorship. Wash
ingtOn has gained considerable
prestige in congress as a result of
Mr.. POindextcr' brave stand in
opposition to oligarchy which no.
toriously rules congress. Mr.
Veatch would be a worthy man as
his successor and can be relied up
on to be on the side of the masses.
He has done much in the cause for
reform in Stevens county and it
was largely through his efforts that
the local option was won last fall.
He is man who can be trusted
with large affairs and one who
possesses sufficient brains, tact and
courage to make himself felt in
congressional legislation. He has
been endorsed by the state Anti
Saloon league and the Ministerial
association of Colville. He is sup
ported by 20 newspapers in the
third district. He is a progress
sive' republican and will fight
Cannonism, which is so odious to
the west. Press.
