Women Opposed to Woman
Suffrage are also Opposed to
Wilson

While the republican women are
campaigning the west trying to
induce suffragists to vote for
Hughes, the eastern anti-sutfrage
movement has indorsed Hughes
because Wilson is for suffrage,
while Hughes is not. In the issue
of Sent. % of the "IIughes Cam
paign Service Bulletin" Mrs. Will
liam Lowell Putnam thus gives
this reason for all anti-suffrage
women voting for Hughes and
against Wilson:
"Those anti-suffragists who are
fearful of Mr.. Hughes advocacy
Of woman suffrage" writes Mrs.
Putnam, "should be reassured by
the fact that he has never been
personally in favor of it, nor has
he ever been incapable Of seeing
the truth if it can be shown to him.
In entrusting their cause to Mr..
Wilson, on the other hand, they
must understand that he has cast
his vote for woman suffrage,
travelling to New Jersey to do so. -

cratic officials, submitted definite
estimates showing that a 1.25 mill
levy was all that was required.
The l.S5 mills levy, as made by
the republican members of the
board Of equalization will in
crease the balance in the general
fund by April | next, to $2,290,871,

1t is hoped by republicans that
Mcbride can be elected, and that
with this additional money to
spend a state machine can be re-
built which will stay in power.
In recent letter to the demo-
cratic county chairman of Spo-
kane county, Speaker Champ
Clark writes in laudatory terms
of Congressman c. c. Dill and
urges his reelection.
Speaker Clark states that Mr..
Dill has made a Every creditable
representative" "He is con
slant in his attendance to the
house and Industrious in the dis
charge of his duties" " continues
the speaker. "For new member
he has taken high rank and if
continued in the house will un-
doubtedly go up to higher places. "
Then he adds, "You know that
a new member must begin at the
foot and spell up. Mr.. Dill has
made a most favorable impress
sion on his fellow members" "
1t is recalled h., many that the
speaker took considerable inter
est in Congressman Dill during
the last session, Early in the ses-
sion he recognized his abilities as
parliamentarian by calling him
to the speakers chair to preside
while general debate was going
on in the house and the young
congressman handled himself so
well that he was repeatedly in the
chair for a hour at a time during
the summer months.
Congressman Dill's position on
the powerful committee on public
lands and also on the committee
on Indian affairs enabled him to
keep in direct touch with all legis-
lation affecting the northwest and
particularly his own district. lie

irrigation committee and on the

A sample of petty meanness de-
plOrable in a city such as Colville,
was noted the first of the week,
when Lister, Wilson and Dill pla-
cards and photos were torn down
from signboards and posts, and
pictures of Corkery and George
Lee put in their place. Officers
and leaders of political organiza
tions never do this kind of work,
but it is evident that some radical
partisans fear the effect that we'll
printed publicity may have on in
dependent voters.

The Spokane Chronicle reports
that its straw ballot of the city OF
Spokane, with 2,209 votes cast,
shows Dill a 20 per cent winner.
The reelection of Dill is conceded
by republicans, as it is known that
from the seven other counties OF
the fifth district, Dill will come out
with a plurality of three to four
thousand. With Spokane also
carried for Dill, his efficient rec
ord in congress is quite appreciat-
ed.

That Woodrow Wilson will car

After a patient survey and ex-
animation of the many initiative
bills and other measures to be
voted at the general election, we
are unable to find any that has
sound basis of merit. There are
so many valid objections against
all the measures that we believe
a vote of No should be registered
against them. The brewery bill
and the hotel liquor bill are two
measures which the liquor inter
ests are striving hard to carry, TO-
gether with the election of Henry
Mcbride for governor. Other spe-
cial interests favor certain of the
other measures.

George A. Lee, defeated candi-
date for governor on the republi-
can ticket, spoke for the republi
can cause at the Colville theater
Monday night. Ninety per cent
of his time was spent in telling
how bad the democrats have been,
how inefficient Wilson and Lister
have shown themselves, and how
unfortunate it is for the honor of
this country that Wilson should
be reelected. About 10 per cent
of his time was given to advOcat-
ing the election of COrkery, Nc
Bride and Hughes. Mr.. Lees
most startling statement was that
the wet and dry question was not
an issue in this state campaign.
Mr.. Lee is known as a protege
of former governor Hay, who was
supported for election by the LID
uor interests of the state, and who
is now advocating the election Of
Mcbride. This may account for
the Lee support of Mcbride. Ma
tionally, Mr.. Hay is quite interest
ed in seeing Hughes elected, for
Mr.. Hay is one of five men who
own more than One-seventh of all
Mexico, and it is quite natural that
Mr.. Hay, and therefore Mr.. Lee,
should desire our army and navy
and our young men to assist in
protecting our former governors
property in that revolutionary
land. Mr.. Lee spoke at t.length on
the Mexican situation, and showed
how Wilson should have acted diff
ferently with Mexico Ito save

The state board of equalization,
which is republican, has made the
new tax levy 1.65 mills. 1t had
been estimated that levy of l.25
mills would be abundant, and the
one democratic member of the
board, Arthur A. Lewis, urged and
voted for a 1.25 mill levy. Even
with the pressure brought to bear
by the democratic officials, the re-
publican board of equalization
could not be induced to levy 1.25
mill tax nor indeed to make levy
of less than 1.85 mills. This is
an increase of go mills over the
