CONSTRUCTIVE LEGISLATION

tanned for the purpose of encouraging vo-
cational education. They expressed them
selves in most high favor of the process of
education that was anticipated in the voca-
tional education bill then known as the
Page bill. Since then there has been
merging of ideas and interests between
the senator from Georgia and the senator
from Vermont. But these gentlemen, the
principals of these schools, couldn't speak
highly enough or extravagantly enough of
the great advantages that would come
from the adoption of this vocational edu-
cation scheme which was known as the
Page-Smith bill. 1t will prove a blessing
to the generations coming on and in the
future this will be of untold value to our
republic.
Senator Thomas, of Colorado, speaking
on the same day in the Senate, said:
If had any doubt about this amendment
! would certainly dismiss it upon the
whose child this bill unquestionably is, and
who, as declared by the senator from
Georgia is entitled to the great merit of
having framed it, introduced it, lived with
it and brought it to its present moment
OF frution. 1t is great work, and a
monument to the senator's career which |
will keep his memory fresh and
green in the hearts of grateful posterity.
There are other important pieces of
constructive legislation standing to the
credit of Senator Page.
On July "a, 1916, Senator
Page addressed the Senate
upon this great educational
measure. On July 31st the
bill was passed blythe Senate,
and yet during the time that
this bill was under considera-
ton and being placed upon
its passage, a hundred col
umns, more or less, Of
paid advertising and many
thousands of circulars were
being sent broadcast through
the state of Vermont criticiz-
ing Senator Page for address
ing the Senate, and declaring
that there was no necessity
for his speech because the bill
wasnot before the Senate, and
would not be acted upon at
this session, concluding with
the query: why then a
speech on the bill by Senator
Page at this time for any other
reason than for distribution to
the voters of Vermont for
campaign purposes?
The ignorance of the writer
or his willful purpose to
deceive must be apparent.
Senator Page delivered his
address upon one of the great
est pieces of constructive leg

ANNOUNCEMENT
The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1916-08-18

NJ. B. Howe of Waterville, is a can
didate on the republican ticket for the
office of joint senator for the district
embracing Douglas, Grant, Okanogan
and Ferry counties. The contest at the
primaries promises to be very close
between him and w. A. Bolinger. of this
county. who is running for the same
office. 1t is a pity that two such wor-
thy gentlemen are pitted against each
other for the same office, yet fortu-
nately for the residents OF the four
counties, no matter which one of
the two is selected the district will be
well represented in the upper house
of the legislature. Let us face this pri-
mary election in all fairness when
speaking OF the gentlemen who are
candidates for joint senator. There is
little in the claim that Okanogan coun-
ty is entitled to the senatorship over
other counties in the district Four
years ago Douglas county had a re-
publican candidate for joint senator
IN the field before the primary cleo
ton An Okanoganite butted in with
out considering any rights of Douglas
county. secured the nomination, re-
sulting in the election of a democrat
from Douglas county. Possibly had the
Okanogan candidate remained out the
Douglas county man would have been
elected, and then there might be some
ground for the claim that Okanogan
was entitled TO the senatorship this
year
This year Mr.. Howe is candidate
for the same office. but not of his own
volition. Mr. Howe is not a politician.
only successful business man. who
has been forced by his friends to en-
ter the race. 1t can not be held against
Mr.. Howe that he is not a resident of
this county when you come down to
facts. He is large property holder
in Okanogan county, and as his inter-
ests are identified with this county he
will be found working for the county
as earnestly as would any man select
ed from the county. Mr.. Howe's word
is absolutely reliable. What he saws he
will do. that he will do regardless of
consequences. 1t is seldom that man
of such high principles as Mr.. Howe
stands for public office. 1t is not a
game that invites straight forward
squareness, and men play it in devious
ways TO gain their ends Mr. Howe will
play his part in it fairly on the level.
because he does not know how to play
1t otherwise. and would not if he did.
Should he secure the nomination and
subsequent election the people of Okla
hogan, Ferry and Grant counties
would never have reason to complain
OF their action in selecting him as
joint senator.

PAID PUBLICITY.

/
In one OF Senator Poindexters pait
advertisements, this statement is made
referring to the senator:
The kept press OF these interests
has ridiculed him, misrepresented hin
and lied about him, but through 1t all
lhe has carefully looked after the in
terests of the state
. The record shows that Senator POin
dexter missed $50 roll calls during the
6Srd congress and was absent from the
senate more than half the time wher
il was in session. This may be the paiC
TcindeXter opinion that he carefully
locked after the interests of the state
all the time" But there is still more
astonishing statement in this paid pub.
lioity. 1t said:
He (Poindexter) fought hard
against free lumber and shingles as
an injustice to one of the chief indus
tries of the state
There never was a more brazen at
tempt by paid publicity, by political
ldamagague, to deceive the public than
by this statement
On August l, 1911, on roll call, when
nothing else was involved, he voted
against retaining a tariff on shingles
(See Congressional Record, August J.
1911, SD Congress, last session, page
1922 On October IN, 1918, on roll call
he voted for both free shingles and
free lumber. (See Congressional Rec.
ord, October 2, 1913, 63d Congress, Isl
session, page $500
While Congressman Humphrey in
the house OF representatives, was lead.
ing the fight TO save the lumber and
single industry, Senator Poindexter
was in the senate, speaking, working
and voting with the democrats to de.
stroy them. If the papers referred tc
i'll his paid publicity are lying against
him, as he claims, in the face of the
Record, what is this paid publicity
doing for him? A man of self respect
and courage would face his record and
give his reasons, if he had changed hi:
mind, and would not, by paid adver.
advertisements, brazenly attempt tc
falsify it to get votes.

Twenty-Five prominent business men

Murphey for congress. Himself bust

phey is drawing to his support a large
percentage of the business element OF

Among those who have issued the
statement in his behalf are two ex-
mayors of Spokane, four prominent
bankers, two we'll known railroad men,
two manufacturers, and the heads of
twelve of the largest mercantile insti-
buttons of the city.
Each man gives his individual reas-
ons for supporting Mr.. Murphey. These
reasons include the high moral char
aoter OF the candidate, his personal
qualifications for the office. his long
residence in Spokane. his splendid
business record and the success he has
made in his own affairs. his activity in
public affairs. his high political prin-
ciple and the business sacrifice he is
making in running for the office.
