Describes Spokane Judge as Man
Who Has Served People
Instead of Interests.
HAS STOOD FOR LABOR;
LET'S STAND FOR HIM
Organizer Estimates That From
$4,000 Labor Votes, Progress
i've Leader Will Receive Almost
Unanimous Support.

Chara cterizing Miles PoindcXter as
the only senatorial candidate in the
history OF Washington, who when
given the opportunity. had consistent
ly served the people instead of the
special interests of the state, cir
Cular letter sent out by Charles r.
Case, president of the Washington
Federation of Labor. to all affiliated
unions, urges every believer in gov
eminent by tho people to cast his
ballot for the Spokane Judge.
The letter is corroborative of what
has been generally known for some
time, namely, that labor is strong, al
most unanimous for Poindexter. The
progressive has been endorsed by
councils; and even by the National
American Federation of Labor which
has said:
"Mr. Miles PoindeXter has respond
cd to our every call without evasion.
without excuse and without hesitancy,
and during the session of congress just
closed he voted for the bills which
were passed and which are of interest
to labor"
PoindcXter UnqualificdIy.
In unqualified terms, the letter asks
the labor voice to reciprocate Pom
dexter loyalty. THAT Poindexter
should continue the work SO splen-
didly begun, is the earnest desire of
all progressive citizens" it says, and
remarks that the coming primary will
decide for six years the character of
Washington's representation in the
senate.
"PoindeXter has stood by labor's in
terest in congress. Let us stand by
PoindeXter on the day of the pri-
maries," the letter concludes.
How great an influence the labor
vote will have at the primaries may
judged from the fact that there are
at a low estimate 1900 or $4,000
labor voters in the state. This estimaee
is based on the basis OF so per cent
that IS per cent of 60 per cent of the
number of cards will cast ballots, and
which had been the average in cleo
lions for the past five years.
A labor organizer from the coast
recently in North Yakima estimated
that of $500 votes to be cast in
Tacoma, Poindexter would get all but
a very few, as the workmen in the
city of Destiny have small respect for
Slippery Jim, and no use at all for
Burke. on account of his pro-oriental
leanings.
Out of 5000 or 10000 labor votes in
Seattle, the estimate was that Poin-
dexter would get practically unani-
nous support. HUMPHREYS has a few
friends there, but it is generally rec
ognized that he is a joke. Other can
didates have no following.
Wilson's withdrawal, according to
the organizer, would have little effect
on the result so far as labor was
concerned, as the perennial had no
friends among card men.

of the sea, extending frol = The Gulf
of Mexico to the Great Lak%. should
not be abandoned. The Lal =. to the
Gulf Deep Waterway, and pc de-
velopment of the rivers with 2 flow
into it, should be pushed to az Pile
ton vigorously and without Gay.
But we must recognize at the G. yet
that there are certain condil> vs.
without which the people cannot NJ .,
to derive from it the benefits thu
have a right to expect.
In nearly every river from st.
Paul to the Gulf the waterfront is
every artificial waterway in the Unit
ed States, either directly or indi-
rectly is under the same control 1t
goes without saying that unless the
people prevent it in advance. the
railways will attempt to take con-
troll of our waterways as fast as they
are improved and completed; nor
would 1 blame them if we, the peo-
pie, are supine in the matter. We
nails are provided in every city and
town on every improved waterway,
terminals open under reasonable con-
ditions to the use of every citizen,
and rightly protected against mo-
nopoly; and we must compel the rail-
ways to cooperate with the water
ways continuously, effectively and
under reasonable conditions, unless
we do so the railway lines will re-
fuse to deliver freight to the boat
lines, either openly or by imposing
prohibitory conditions, and the wa
terways once improved will do COM
paratively little for the benefit of
the people who pay the bill.
Adequate terminals properly con-
trolled and open through lines by
rail and boat are two absolutely es-
sential conditions to the usefulness OF
inland waterway development. I be-
lieve furthermore that the railways
should be prohibited from owning
controlling or carrying any interest
in the boat lines on our rivers, unless
under the strictest regulation and
control of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, so that the shippers in
terests may be fully protected.
