Tom Cookery UnquaIifideIy for
Prohibition

Let it be understood that | am moi
temporizing on the prohibition ques
tion," declared Tom Cookery, republi-
can candidate for congress, in more
than twenty speeches and short talks
delivered last week before voters in
Chelan and Okanogan counties.
I am dead set against the liquor
business and l do not care who knows
it. If you are against prohibition you
will do we'll to vote against me, because
if elected to congress I shall not be
content merely to support resolution
for nation wide prohibition. Promising
to vote for such resolution when it
comes before congress is not enough.
What the good people Of this district
desire is a representative in congress
who will use all his influence, all Of the
power they place behind him, to force
the issue. What the Eighth district
wants is a representative who will have
the stamina to 60 before the judiciary
committee and demand that the reso
luton be reported out for vote.
Public expectations cannot be met
by simply pledging support of prohibit
ton and then sitting down and waiting
patiently for the resolution to come out
OF committee in leisurely fashion. My
election will mean that you are send
ing to congress man ready to go
down there to wipe out licensed crime"
More than 5000 voters in Chelan,
Okanogan and Ferry counties we're met
BY the congressional candidate in the
first ten days Of the campaign which
opened at Cashmere a week ago last
Monday.
The itinerary for the ten days in
cluded FIVE set speeches and 40 brief
talks beginning with an address to
railroad men at Leavenworth, talks to
apple pickers in the Wenatchee and
Methow valleys, a speech at Twisp and
remarks before school children in the
country districts along the route.
This thip was preliminary to another
whirlwind tour OF the district two weeks
later to be topped off with grand rallies
and speeches and plenty of red fire.
Successful meetings were held at Re-
public Tuesday night, and Colville
Wednesday night.

CONGRESSMAN DILL'S
EXTRAYAGANT CLAIMS
He Claims to Have Been instrumental in
Opening the Spokane Indian ReSer-
walton to Mining

Congressman Dill has adopted the
slogan dill does things" A more
correct statement is: "Poindexter acts
and Dill advertises," Mr.. Dill's state
ment that he opened the Colville reser-
walton has been shown to be without
foundation in fact. He has lately been
making the claim that he caused the
house to pass a bill opening the Spo-
kane Indian reservation to mining.
The fact is thatMr. Dill was member
of the Indian Affairs committee Of the
house. The general Indian appropria-
ton bill (House Bill 10385) originated
in the house. AS it came out OF the
committee, it contained no provision
whatever for opening the Spokane res
ervation to mining 1t passed the
house without such provision.
When the bill came on the floor OF
the senate, Senator Poindexter offered
the following amendment:
Congressional Record, March %,
1916, page 5745: The Secretary Of
the Interior is authorized and directed
to lease to the citizens of the United
States for mining purposes unalloted
mineral lands on the diminished Spo-
kane reservation in the State OF Wash
ington for periods OF 25 years, with
privileges OF renewal on such reason
able renewal conditions as may be de-
termined by the Secretary of the In
terror, and also with reasonable con-
ditions to be fixed by the Secretary of
the Interior, providing for the prosecu-
ton OF mining development and opera
ton. Such leases shall be made to
applicants in the order in which applica-
tons shall be made. Free opportunity
shall be given for the prospecting of
the said land and rental shall be based
upon mining production and shall be
reasonable and the proceeds Of rental
shall be paid into the Spokane Indian
Tribal fund.-"
Upon the same day this amendment
was adopted by the senate without de-

to satisfy all the war claims that may
be presented, claims that grow out Of
the exigencies OF four years civil war,
whether the claimant was loya. or dis
loyal, can any expert accountant place
a limit upon the demands from that
source?
In the 63rd congress Mr.. Under
wood, taking advantage OF his position
as floor leader, secured passage through
the house of a special act, granting a
claim without reference to the loyalty.
This was carried after the most deter
mined opposition by Minority Leader
Mann. This was the opening wedge.
In the light Of recent legislation OF the
most wasteful character where the fed
eral treasury is drawn upon for south
ern projects, and in the glare OF the
proceedings OF March LIST and June 3rd
OF this year, the structures of the dem
ocratic press against Mr.. Hughes for
calling the country's attention to the
sectionalism of the government as now
administered are but whimperinRs Of
troubled minds seriously disturbed by
the strength OF the criticism"
