WHY WOMEN DO NOT JOIN

because when governor OF New
York he vetoed a bill giving equal
pay to men and women teachers
doing the same work, giving as
his reason for veto that he did
not agree with the PRINCIPLE
embodied in this plan.
Because he vetoed the bill low
ering railway passenger rates in
New York from Sc to &c a mile.
Because he vetoed the bill Civ
ing an eight-hour day to police
men of New York.
Because he vetoed the bill cut
ting the fare from New York to
its principal pleasure resort-the
one most within reach Of the poor
people-Coney Island.
Because he wrote a special mes
sage to the legislature Of New
York urging the defeat of the
constitutional amendment pro-
viding for an income tax.
Because his supreme court de-
cisions were opposed to labor.
Because he has not taken suf-
icient interest in public affairs
since 1910 to vote.
Because he is Endorsed by the
anti-suffrage organizations Of the
eastern states.
Because he has stated that the
first act of a republican admins
tration should be to wipe out all
of the democratic legislation of
the last four years-Which in
cludes the panic proof currency
act, the child labor laws, the eight
hour day, the farm loan act, the
anti-dumping law, the tariff in
favor of the common people, the
inheritance and income tax laws,
the good roads laws, etc.
Because he has the solid sup
port of Wall street, the special
interests, the bankers who desire
to overturn the currency law, and
the manufacturers who want a
special privilege in tariff again.
Because the trusts and those
five Americans who own one
seventh of Mexico are for him.
Because at is feared that his
election would mean war, and the
calling of the sons of this country
to arms to save the Standard Oil
interests in Mexico.
Because all the makers of NUM-
tions of war in this country are
for him.
Because he has ridiculed the
character and questioned the sin
cerity of the man who opened his
cabinet meeting with prayer in
the face of a grave issue with Ger
many.
Because his campaign has been
largely a series of vicious attacks
on the man who has successfully
kept this nation free from any
wars.

prominence as senator enabled
him to carry the prestige of his
Office in his attacks on the old
guard. He did not favor Hughes
until after his conference with NJ.
E. Hay, and it is said that in re-
turn for the support of the Hay
machine in this state he finally
agreed to support and work for
Hughes. In his speeches he care
fully avoids reference to the most
vital issues, but deals with those
on which democrats and progress
sives agree.
PoindeXter is agile in politics,
and has succeeded in holding of
flee under three different parties.
His continuance in Office depends
on securing a united support of
progressives and democrats, and
his Colville speech showed that he
considers this city as embodying
progressive beliefs.

w. A. Haskins of Marcus, demo-
cratic candidate for state repre-
sentative, is a man peculiarly
fitted to represent Stevens county
in the next legislature, by reason
of his active work for good roads,
and his thorough knowledge of
this county.
Mr.. Haskins is 48 years of age.
He came west from Wisconsin
when a young man, and settled
at Grants Pass, Ore, where he
made a record for management Of
municipal affairs in several terms
as councilman. After successful
ly managing large lumber inter-
ests there for some time, he came
to Deer Park, Wash, and looked
after the interests of the Pine
Lumber Co. of which he was presi-
dent until that institution sold it's
interests. He moved to Marcus
in 1905 and engaged in real es-
tate and numbering, being the first
mayor of Marcus, and having
made success of all his business
ventures.
He has no decisions in regard
to the work needed in the legis-
lature, and to the necessity of this
county being strongly represented
in order to get proper attention.
AS the next session will have the.
road matter before it, Mr.. Has
kins has made himself familiar
with all the points of information
relative to this county's condition,
and it was this very interests in
good roads for this county that
brought the strong support which
caused him to file for representa-
tive.

SENATOR PoINDEXTER

There is no sufficient evidence
that the republican party is will
ing to put the public welfare
above private privilege. We have
no assurance that if the progress
sives should be so unwise as to
unite with it and restore it to
power, that it would depart in
any way whatever from the record
which it has previously made
Senator Miles Poindexter.
Senator Miles PoindeXter spoke
before a house almost filled We'd
nesday night, at the Colville
theater. Like the clever vote
getter that he has always been,
his speech mostly covered points
upon which nearly every resident
of this state REPRESENTATIONS
ism, keeping out of war, maintain
ing high prices for this state s
products (even though at the ex-
pense of consumers in eastern
states), development of our ma
tional resources, and the election
of a president who will be able
to keep US out of war when the
great armies of Europe are turned
free from their present struggle.
Liberal applause marked many of
his ntterances, and the salve which
he skilfully spread upon the
mangled remains of his former
republican enemies was tribute
to his skill as a platform speaker.
No direct criticism of Wilson was
given, although by implication it
might be inferred that he thought
Hughes a better man for the next
president than the man whose bills
he has steadfastly supported dur
ing the last four years. Mr.. POin-
dexter has never gotten entirely
away from leaning to the demo-
cratic side of legislation, and his
tariff remarks met with approval
of democrats, as he spoke solely
upon the Underwood law and his
votes thereon. He differed from
the president in regard to the Pan
anna canal, favoring repeal of tolls
upon American shipping interests
who use the canal, but retaining
tolls on foreign users. He did
not, however, say that he was in
favor of American citizens having
free use of the government postal
system, mail routes, mail cars, and
other equipment which has been
paid for by the American people,
but charging all foreigners for
their mail privilege. Such a com
parison would have upset the
fimsy republican effort to find
some action of Wilson which was
wrong IA
Mr. Poindexter secuted the
idea that Wilson has kept us
out of war, but did not refer to
the republican statements which
have been spread broadcast
. through this campaign, that
America should have opposed the
despoilation of Belgium, that Ger
many should have been given
rebuke backed by our entire naval
and military resources, that lives
and property in Mexico should
have been saved even though we
had to take over affairs in Mexico,
and that England should have
been given to understand that we
were ready to back up our de-
mands by force if necessary.
Neither did he show why all the
munitions makers are anxious to
have Hughes elected, nor why that
strenuous fighting man Theodore
Roosevelt found in Hughes and
his munitions supporters a kim
bred spirit. "Wh hat war;" he
asked, "did Wilson keep us out
OFF," And the silent thought
which evidently permeated the
audience was "Any war" And
this is the thought which through
out this nation is making futile

Atty. L. B. Donley, democratic
candidate for prosecuting attOr
ney, who was raised in this coun-
ty, educated in our schools and at
our own state university, and who
had gained the standing to come
to practice law among the people
whom he knew, has received an
Endorsement unique in average ex-
perience. 1t seems that some time
ago he had occasion to prosecute
some litigation against his old
friend Bill O'Brien of Marcus. 1t
also happened that Donley's side
won the case against Bill. In his
campaign a few weeks ago, Don
ley saw Bill and asked him what
he was going to do in the contest
for prosecuting attorney, and
whether he was going to oppose
Donley on account OF that case.
Bill looked at Donley, looked away
at the weather, considered the
subject thoughtfully, and replied:
"Me boy, I'll tell We how I feel
about it. | think we just as we'll
elect a prosecutin' attorney we
raised and brought up among us
as to send to Montgom Ward
for one."

Who is best qualified and most
entitled to be your next county
clerk? This question must be
answered by your vote Nov. 7.
The republican candidate has liv-
ed in Stevens county less than two
years. The democratic candidate
A. B. Sansburn has spent the most
active years of his life in the up
building of Stevens county, hold
ing positions Of trust requiring
executive and clerical ability, and
has'a record of efficiency which
can not be surpassed by any can
didate on any ticket.
Mr.. Sansburn has been a money
saver for the county taxpayers
while holding county office. He
has showed his desire to run a
county Office economically, and his
ability to do it. He has done more
work with less deputies than his
predecessors, and his watchful-
ness over the treasury of this
county has been the means of saw
ing money for the county.
Mr.. Sansburn qualifications
are admitted, and his only oppo-
sition is found in the statement
that he has already held Office.
This argument is really one to his
credit, for his work has been good
or he could not again secure office.
No other representative citizen of
the county is opposed to him on
the republican ticket-only man
who has just recently come to this
county, and Immediately asks a
county office.
The election of w. M. Gillings
as assessor seems assured in all
parts of the county. Although he
is running upon the ticket of his
political belief, the democratic
ticket, his strength comes from
the fact that he is known to be
the most capable candidate for
the office, and party lines are no
longer considered in the election
of a county assessor. Mr.. Gill
lings, in his work as state fire war
den, has for four years constantly
covered this county. He knows
the soil, the timber, the people,
and the general conditions. His
ability is vouched for by the state
officials under whom he has work
ed, by the present assessor A. E.
Dodson, who has gained the repu-
tation of being one of the best as
SCISSORS in the state, and by all the
people with whom he has come in
contact during his years of resi-
dence in this county. The very
fact that Mr.. Gillings knows near
ly every rancher in the county,
and that they know him and his
worth, is sufficient to elect him.
He promises a continued study of
property values, to the end that
taxes may be equitably distribut-
ed, and that his personal attention
will be given to all matters which
come in question.

Washington, Dec. Germany in a
note made public by the state depart
ment today contends that the British
steamer Arabia sunk in the Mediter-
ranean on November 6, was in reality
"a transport ship for troops in the
service of the British government,
which is to be considered as an auxil-
iary warship, according to internation-
al law and can therefore be treated
like a warship."
The German government attitude,
however, like that in the Marina case
is expressed to be one of readiness to
make amends if it be shown that the
submarine commander violated Ger
mans pledges to the United States.
1t was learned this afternoon from
official sources that this government
views the German explanation as
weak" While it has no facts to dis
prove Germany's contention that
