TO THE CITIZENS OF SAN JUAN
COUNTY:
The senatorial situation in this
state now calls for the earnest atten-
ton of allvoters having the interest
of the state at heart. The state is
now represented in the United States
Senate by Senator Piles and Senator
Jones, the first being from the west
and the second from the east side Of
the mountains.
That the successor to Senator
Piles should come from the west
side of the mountains is recognized
by all fair-minded people in both
sections of the state. The natural
and industrial conditions of the two
sections differ widely. Two-thirds
of the population Of the state isWest
of the mountains.
It is now very clear and admitted
by all close observers that Judge
Thomas Burke is the strongest can
didate from the West Side. In ad-I
dition to his tremendous following
in King county, where he resides,
he has, in the last thirty days, de-
veloped marked strength in Eastern,
Northwestern and Southwestern
Washington. From East of the Cas-
cades comes undisputed evidence Of
general desire to give him hearty
support, founded on a sense of right
and justice as well as on the wish
that Senator Jones future useful
ness may not be endangered. If the
Republicans of San Juan County CO.
operate strongly with the Republi-
cans throughout the state the cleo
ton Of Judge Burke is certain. The
people in other parts of the state
look to us all to give him this sup
port.
That with our growing business,
commercial and industrial interests,
one Of the senators should be chos-
en- from Western Washington ought
to be clear to everyone; and if the
people of Western Washington are
not utterly Indifferent to the welfare
of this part of the state they will I'M
tie with their neighbors east of the
mountains in selecting at this time
a western man.
ii The great commercial interests
located on the west side Of the noun
tains which continually demand the
assistance Of our senators in Wash
ington make it very necessary that
we, as business men, have a senator
who is acquainted with these COM
mercial interests to give US the SER
vice we need. Past experience dem
onstrates this.
Among the Western Washington
candidates Judge Burke is by far
the strongest candidate in Eastern
Washington. By uniting on him
here we can put his election beyond
a doubt. He is well known through
out the state. He has never failed
us here when his support was need
ed for any measure designed for the
upbuilding of the state. He is quail
fled by his long residence here and
by his knowledge of the needs and
requirements of Western Washing
ton, to render most useful service to
the people.
In view of the facts as above set
forth, we, the undersigned, make
an earnest appeal to the loyalty Of
our citizens and business men to put
forth every honest effort possible in
the interest Of Judge Thomas Burke,
who without doubt is the strongest
candidate in the field. Certainly we
cannot afford to be without sena-
tor from Western Washington.
