Coulee City dispatch. [volume] (Coulee City, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1916-10-05

Judge George Turner, Demo
cratic candidate for the United
States Senate, sounded the key
note of the Democratic Campaign
this week when he addressed a
large mass-meeting at Seattle.
MIR. Turner'S address was a
clear-cut outline of the police of
abe Democratic party and is as
follows:-
II know myself I am as little
swayed by partisan bias as any man
in the country. The viewpoint from
which I have always endeavored to
consider public men and public meas
ures has been the well-being of the
state and the nation, and that,
trust, will continue to be my view
point so long as the Almighty spares
my life and continues me in the pos
session of my faculties. Neverthe-
less, would not be the candidate of
the Democratic party for senator in
congress from the State of Washing
ton If | could not recommend enthusi
asticaIly and In all honesty and sim
cerity the splendid record of construc-
tive, progressive legislation put upon
the statute books by the Democratic
party under the wise and patriotic
guidance Of our great Democratic
president, Woodrow Wilson. 49, 49,.
Revision of the tariff in the interest
of the people, currency legislation
which relieves the business of the
nation from the domination of Wall
Street, additional restrictions and
prohibitions to curb and control and
ultimately destroy the great trusts
and combines, non-partizan trade
commission to have control of the
great corporations engaged in inter
state commerce, non-partizan sc1en-
tifc tariff commission to gather data
concerning cost Of production at home
and abroad for the information and
guidance of congress in future legis-
lation relating to the tariff, an in
come tax law under which wealth is
compelled to bear It's fair proper
ton of the burdens of government,
the child labor legislation in the
interest Of the children Of the
nation, the future men and women Of
the nation, the rural credits of farm
land bank system to relieve the
farmers of the nation Of extortion-
ate interest charges, and, finally the
legislation, both recent and remote,
in the direction of safeguarding the
rights of labor which Is so notably
a contribution to social and industrial
justice, constitutes a record OF con-
structive legislation SO remarkable
that it ought, it seems to me, to
win support for our great president
from thoughtful, intelligent, patri-
otto men Of all political parties.
VIII Stand BY Wilson.
Lam not only in sympathy with that
record, but will stand Loyalty by Pres
ldent Wilson in all measures design
ed to make that which has been so
ausplciousIy begun a fxity In our
national life.
The value OF the economic reforms
inaugurated by Democratic legisla-
ton has approved itself so complete
ly and the prosperity of the measures
In aid Of social and industrial justice
is so indisputable that our Republican
friends take Issue with us on one
or two only Of the long list Of rem
edial measures which I have enumer-
ated One OF these measures upon
which they join issue is the Under
wood tariff law, which reduced the
high tariff rates so long maintained
by the Republican party
The Republican platform denounces
that law as a complete failure, and
