j. SOX BROWN.

Mr.. J. SoX Brown has been a resi-
dent of Thurston county for number
of years, and now resides at Roches-
ter. He formerly lived in Spokane
county where he has held public
office, and was once before member
of the state Legislature, so that he
will come to the 1915 session not as
a stranger, but as one from whom adj
vice and counsel may be obtained,
by reason of his past experience. Mr..
Brown is a veteran of the Civil war
and a rugged speciman of manhood
that has not yet bowed to the weight
of years. 1t will be some work to
get past his discernment with any
freak measures. The interests of this
county will have at all times an able
champion in Mr.. Brown.
The selection coming from the out
side of Olympia gives the position of
representing the part of the county
outside of Olympia particularly to
him. This will not mean that his
interest will not be for the welfare
of the Capital City any more than
that the interest of Mr.. Morrison will
not be for the country portions of the
county. In fact, no better combina-
ton for team work could have been
selected than in the two representa-
tives now before the voters of Thurs
ton county on the Republican ticket.
Mr.. Brown has had large exper-
fence in tax matters-a subject that
vitality interests all voters at the pres
ent time. His experience on these
lines will make him a valuable adj
dition, not only to the district from
which he is elected, but he will be
appreciated by the entire membership
of the legislature by reason of his
previous knowledge and experience.
No measure of worth and merit could
/ fall in safer hands than in that of
Mr.. Brown. When the vote has been
counted on next Tuesday it will be
found that the people of this county
have made wise selections in their
representatives by electing both
Republican candidates.
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1914-10-30
l.. j. MORRISON.

In the selection of L. J. Morrison
Thurston county, the people have
shown good Judgement. No one per-
son in this county could have been
chosen who is and has been closer in
touch with the needs of the entire
country than Mr.. Morrison. His SER
vice in official capacities in previous
years is sufficient recommendation
for the voters who know him. To
those who may not be closely asso-
ciated and less familiar with his work
it is due to them to say that he is a
young man full of the energy and
vigor required in a representative for
this county.
He has kept closely in touch with
legislation from year to year since
living in this county. He has seen
the application of the wholesome laws
and the evil effects of the freak meas
ures that seem at this time to have
obtained. Those who support him
may be assured his voice and vote
will always be found sustaining safe
and sane legislation.
The desire to keep taxation down
to the lowest limitation has become
such vital issue that no one party
can lay claim to it's championship.
None will more enthusiastically sup
port legislation looking to the reduc-
ton of taxes than Mr.. Morrison.
The public improvements required
for this county will be looked after
continually No person is more IA
miliar with every part of the county
than Mr.. Morrison. Highways,
bridges and state capital needs are
familiar to him. He has had exper-
fence in suggesting and framing past
legislation for this county, although
not a member of the session. His
knowledge was found of high value
by those who had the matter directly
in charge.
The interests of this county cannot
land in safer hands during the COM
ing session than in his. 1t will not
be placing matters in the hands of the
inexperienced if Mr.. Morrison is elect
ed, but rather the voters will seek to
call the highest degree of efficiency
into service for them, in choosing L..
J. Morrison for their representative.

!. PERIENCE AND ABILITY. !.

Annie CASTOR, Republican candi-
date for county auditor, has firmly
refused, although urged by friends to
do so, to make campaign on politi-
cal promises based upon a few dol
lars clerk hire.
Miss CASTOR has made but few
plain statements based upon her
knowledge. Of the office, gained from
years of experience, and in so doing
believed that her friends had conf
dence in her ability to carry out the
policies as outlined in such state
ments.
When her attention was called to
the empty promises made by her OPP
ponent, that he would conduct the
Office for $3.50 less than she had ask
ed the county commissioners to allow
for that office for the ensuing year,
she simply replied, that she was not
bidding.
Miss CASTOR has stated emphati-
cally that she is in favor of paying
good salaries for competent help and
in return shall require each employe
to give their undivided time to the
duties of the office; that she shall en-
force promptness in serving the pub

she is willing TO leave the matter en-
tirely in the hands of her friends, as
she has neither the time nor money

In clear, succinct way j. c. Sans,
Republican candidate for reelection
as county assessor, tells in letter
he has been sending to the voters of
the county during this campaign just
why he thinks he ought to be re-
elected. In pointed paragraphs he
tells what he has done during the last
two years, says it has redounded to
the benefit of the taxpayers and adds
that according to his figures it will
take $1,000 less to conduct the as
SCISSORS office during 1915 than was
estimated for the year 1914.
The letter in full is:
To the Taxpayers of Thurston county:
Since being elected to the Office of
County Assessor l have made:
A reimbursement of the tax rolls,
so that the small taxpayer gets an
equal show with the big taxpayer.
An effort to look after the inter-
ests of the property owner who has
neither the time nor the information
to fight his battle for just assessments
before the board of equalization, a
proceeding on which the big taXpay
ers spend much time and money.
A careful check, so that the small
home owner and business man do not
pay more than their share of the
taxes.
An examination of improvements,
so that the rancher building up a
place for the support of himself and
his family and to benefit the commu-
nifty, is not "ined" because of his in
dustry and good citizenship.
A REIMBURSEMENT of mill assess
meuts, so that all pay on the same
basis.
A system devised whereby timber
and big tracts of lands held for spe-
culation shall not escape taxation.
A complete check made on all prop
erty in the county.

office and the installation of an econ

President Wilson in the beginning Of
his administration, has at last seen a
great light and the leaders Of this
great political institution. at the re-
cent New York democratic convention,
went on record unqualifedly in favor
or MIR Wilson and his policies. Ca
pitulation has come at the eleventh
nour and it is to he hoped that it
was accompanied by sincere repent
ance. Embodied in the democratic
platform Of the empire is the follow
ing:
THE wisdom and patriotism of
Woodrow Wilson and the work Of con-
gress are commended, with especial
reference to the administrations Mex
lean policy. the banking law. the tariff
law and anti trust legislation"
Reference to the Mexican policy Of
the president is a body blow to the
aspirations of William Randolph
Hearst. who cherishes a desire to be-
come candidate for the United
states senate and who. all along, has
counted upon the support of Tammany
hall. Mr.. Hearst has been vigorous,
not to say abusive, In his criticism of
the policy Of the administration with
reference to Mexico and 1t is upon
this position that he has based his
hopes for support. especially from
Tammany hail. which in the past has
consistently fought both the president
and his policies.
Reduced to its last analysis, Tam
many has simply been whipped into
line by the support which the people
have given the administration. Tam
many likes the president no better
than II liked him in the past, but the
leaders of the organization have at
last discovered that the people are
with him; they have discovered that
Woodrow Wilson and his policies are
necessary to the country and that
without him the democratic party
faces political bankruptcy. The en-
dorsement of the New York platform
is an unconditional surrender by Tam
