The worth Of representative in the
state legislature is most appreciated by
his colleagues who have had an oppor-
tunity to serve with him and observe
his value to his constituents. Senator
A. w. Anderson, of this district, has
written the following letter concerning
S. J. Appleman, candidate for the leg
islature from this county:
Chewelah, Wash, Oct. II, 1912.
C. E. Peterson, Secretary Republican
Central Committee, Newport, Wash.
Dear Sir-The county of Pend Oreille
is soon to elect it's first representative,
as a county, and in connection with the
coming election this fact is probably
one of your most important items.
AS your senator have an interest in
the welfare of your county, and there
fore, most naturally, in your political
aspects, hence this letter.
It was with great difficulty and much
persistence, both in committee and on
the floor of the senate, that we were
able to get representation for the new
county at the time of the division, and
inasmuch as the state was not appor-
toned it's new representation, as is re-
quired by the constitution after every

census, this will necessarily have to be
done at the next session, and it ishighly
probable that both your county and
Stevens may suffer in this apportion-
ment if we do not look we'll to the men
who are sent there to look after our in
tetests.
There will be, at the next session of
the legislature, much moral legislation,
and much progressive legislation affect
ing our educational systems and COM
mercial activities. Therefore, the man
to be elected should be man of known
and undoubted morals and man con-
versant with business and the economics
of state government. Even then it is
necessary that delegation should be in
harmony, not only with itself, but with
the delegations Of neighboring counties
if they would accomplish much in the
legislature.
am not acquainted with the various
candidates in your county, and this let
ter is not written to decry anyone, but
I am acquainted with Mr.. Appleman,
and I desire to unhesitatingly endorse
him for reelection. In the first place,
he is entitled to it, for he served you
we'll at the last session. He is an able
and constant worker, a man of proven
character and thoroughly reliable. He
has now, besides, the experience, which
will be much needed, and will make hin
so much more valuable to you than E
new man could possibly be. A mar
who makes friends and Yields influence
among them.
So, in the best interests of your
county, our county and the state, I trust
that he will be returned. Yours very
truly, A. w. ANDERSON.
