The state bureau of inspection and

thorough examination of the state
treasurer's office, have the following
to say of Mr.. Sherman:
There is probably no higher gear

service than w. w. Sherman. Every
day sees a mass of detail turned out
that is little less than amazing in a
public office for the force engaged.
When it is considered that it is vir-

the work. clearly the state may be
proud of an office which would be so
regarded by any private employer"

]''ooo'ooo day for every day in the
year, including Sunday and HOLIDAYS
the United States government is the
biggest business in America. Members
oi congress vote these big appropria-
ions, and are therefore, in effect. di-
rectors of the biggest financial insti-
tuition of the nation. Ninety per cent
OF the activities of congress and ninety
per cent of the legislation passed by II
relates directly to business matters
Renee, America needs in congress
business men who are equipped by
training and experience to handle
large business affairs.
These arguments constitute the
principal reasons, apart from per-
sonal fitness, that are being put forth
by the various Murphy clubs in sup
port of the candidacy of Alonzo NJ
Murphy, of Spokane for the republican
nomination for congress.
They point out that Mr.. Murphy
is successful and self made business

business and political life of the In
land Empire for years He has lived in
this district for the past 20 years, is
thoroughly acquainted with its prob
lens has always been a faithful and
prominent worker in the republican
party, but not seeker of office.
Mr.. Murphy is the only business
man running for the office and with
the vast expenditures made necessary
by the campaign for preparedness and
hence the need of doing away with all
useless or not needed appropriations,
1t Is pointed out that congress needs
business men at this time rather
