I'D STATE CANDIDATES WHOM YOU SHOULD SUPPER

nent of national questions, is one of
the most public spirited men, and
takes the deepest interest in national
and state improvements. He has had
four years of legislative experience in
the senate of his native state. He has
also served his party effectively can
yassing in its behalf whether a candi-
date or not, aud helping to lead for.
lorn hopes in its darker hours, having
been twice its nominee for superior
court judge and once one of it's candi-
dates for representative in Congress.
He was also a delegate to its national
conventions in 1892 and 1912.
He is president of the Clarke county
Good Roads association; was dele

and HarbOrs congress at Washington,
ID. c.; is an active Commercial club
member, has always been a strong sup
porter of the Southwest Washington
Development association and SustainS
every project for the betterment of his
city, county or state. His signal ser
vice along those lines has impressed
those who know him, irrespective OF
party affiliations, SO thoroughly that
many Republicans also have invited
him to become a candidate and ex-
pressed their purpose TO support him.
Mr. Munday should be the next con-
gresham from this district; if you
are wise you will send him.

administration is no idle boast. The
Republicans of the district have used
it as a convincing argument in past
campaigns and it applies just as
strongly in the present instance as 1t
ever did when they were in power ma
tionally.
The Second district for the last two
years has had congressman who has
been q rank failure from any stand
point and particularly from the stand
point of results obtained for the dis
trict. During his whole term he has
voted with the Democrats; il he gets
anything for his district if he is chosen
to represent it in the next two years,
he will be compelled to vote constantly
with the Democrats.
Why not, then, send a Democrat to
Congress from this district? War
burton, even though voting with the
Democrats as he will be compelled to
do, will not be in accord with them
and 90 will not get for his district all
the benefits that one working in har-
mOny with the administration could,
while Albert johnson, being out of the
fold entirely and member of the op'
posite party. would be tied hand and

BROWN WILL REDUCE
COST TO TAXPAYERS


When candidate starts out and
says the county government is costing
100 much. good many people in
Thurston county are inclined to agree
with him, but the wise ones always
want to know where the waste is.
}. F. Brown of Little Rock, the Demo
cratic candidate for county commits
siOner from the Third district, has
been making such assertions, and in
cidentally he has been pointing out
several big sources of waste.
One of them is in road construction,
he says, and the basic cause there is
too much inspection. He speaks or
one road job he says cost $99 for ae.
tual construction and $110 for inspec-
ton, and then wants to know the why's
and the wherefOres of so much inspec-
ton. So do lot of other people.
Mr. Brown is an ardent advocate of
goods roads and wants to see more con.
structed in Thurston county where
they are necessary and when they are
needed. He is not kicking about the
construction of rOads-it is the cost OF
that construction or rather of the ele-
that he is Directing to.
He refers to instances where not
only the road supervisors but also the
county engineer and the commissioners
themselves have made several inspec-
lions of roads, where he believes ono
inspection by a competent person
would have been sufficient. He be-
lieves the large part of the extrava.
CANT cost of road construction in Thur.
ston county is due to incompetent en-
ployes.
This is one place where the county
is not getting value received for the
money 1t expends. Mr. Brown says.
and another instance is in the con-
struction of bridges. 1t is not only
incompetency and wasteful inspection
that Mr.. Brown calls the voters atten-
ton to here; it is also faulty work in
one or two cases, the fact that the
bids were not let to the lowest re-
sponsible bidders in other cases, and
similar facts.
These two are the important ways
In which the county Is spending too
much money, not for roads or bridges
as roads or bridges, for Mr.. Brown be-
lieves they are necessary, but In the
methods used in their construction.
It's the method and not the thing con-
structed that Mr.. Brown finds at
fault.
Pointing out these things and show.
ing how they may be corrected. MIR.
Brown announces during his cam
paign throughout the county that he
proposes to correct them. to eliminate
the waste and to reduce the cost OF
the county government, SO far as he IS
able, II he Is chosen county commits
sioner. Mr.. Brown Is not one Of those
men or candidates who go about the

four terms, elected each term by a
good majority over normal Republic
can majority of from 500 to 1000. He
was also mayor of the city of Chehalis
for one term and has been . director
in the Chehalis National bank since
its organization.
II he is elected to the office of land
commissioner, Mr.. Schooley says the
Office will be conducted on business
principles, In business like manner
and for the best interests of the state.

county talking and promising just to
hear themselves talk and to cheat
themselves into the belief that by
promising anything, they can win.
On the other hand, Mr.. Brown is
one of those quiet kind of individuals
whose actions count for more than the
words of other candidates, who does
things without Dragging about them
and who can be depended upon to do
them. He doesn't talk-he acts.
He has lived in Thurston county for
the last % years, all of that time in
and around Little Rock. He looks at
the county government from the stand
point of the farmer: he is careful, eco
nomical and shrewd in the conduct OF
his own business and he will be the
He understands the needs of the
county as does the man who lives close
to the soil, better than anyone else. He
has lived with the farmers, worked
out his own life on the farm, mingled
with his neighbOrs, talked with them,
received their ideas on the various
phases of county government and CIV
en- them his own until he will bring
to the commissioners Office an insight
into things as they are that will be a
boon to the county.
Most of the time he has lived near
Little Rock he has been a director of
that school district, showing the trust
and responsibility his neighbors have
in him. He is responsible for the fine
new school building now practically
completed at Little Rock and has al
ways taken a great interest in school
work which means. SO far as this
would come under his jurisdiction as
county commissioner, it will be greeted
by man in hearty sympathy and with
great interest in the work.
Mr.. Brown believes in giving every
taxpayer square deal, giving no pref
erence to anybody. He is under no
obligations to any firm, railroad, bank,
or corporation. has made no promises
of political character in this cam
paign just to get votes, and will 60
into the commissioners ONCE absolute
ly free to do that which he thinks Is
for the best of the county.
When you have chance to vote for
that kind Of commissioner, why not
do it?
