REFLECT GOVERNOR LISTER
He Is Progressive. He Is Dry
DON'T BE FOOLED

The Seattle German Press of
the week of October 16, says:
"People, specifically inclined,
might construe Henry McBrde's
statement, that he would veto any
law which provided for a change
in the present dry law, to mean
that Mcbride is a prohibitiOnist,
heart and soul. This, however, is
by no means the case. By his
promise that he would veto every
law which provided for a change
of the present prohibition law,
Mcbride has promised nothing.
This must be clear to any of our
politicians who realize that that
sort of laws will not come before
The legislature at all. If the dear
public still persists in applauding
him-as they did at the Methodist
church of Spokane-this proves
only that the prohibitionsts are
not specially gifted with inteIli-
gence On the other hand, Me
Bride is simply forced to declare
himself for prohibition. His OPP
ponent, the democratic candidate
for governor, is simply an out
spoken prohibitionist and insists
everywhere and constantly that

L.. G. Richardson is one of the
very strongest men before the
voters of this county, candidate
for county auditor, and a man
whose work in the interests of
the taxpayer has been demon
strated in public Office.
Mr.. Richardson is one of the
very few thoroughly trained cleri-
cal men in this county. He can
do a vast amount of work because
he knows how, and has had exper-
fence in the various kinds of ac-
countancy which cut time and ex-
pense.
The office which he seeks is
very important to the taxpayers.
The auditor is the only man who
keeps check on county finances.
Defaulcations in the office of treas
urer, clerk, or sheriff can be found
by the auditor, IF HE KNOWS
HOW. If he does not know how,
the public is at the mercy of the
individual office holder or his dep
uties.
Issuance of acknowledgement,
road, bridge, school, drainage dis
trict, irrigation districts all by
the county auditor. Put man in
this work who is unfamiliar with
an auditors duties, and there will
always be a loss, and chance for
INSCRIPTIONS persons to receive
warrants to which they are not
entitled. An auditor can refuse
to issue warrants if She believes
them unjust, and every voter
knows that Len Richardson can
always be depended upon to know
just what he is doing. Every
juror for the last four years knows
him, and he knows them, and these
jurors can vouch for his business
like actions.
Efficiency in the auditors Of
flee is more necessary than in any
other office. Any other official
can hire some one to do his think
ing for him, but an auditor can
not. He alone is responsible for
checking and auditing the other
officials, and on him the taxpayers
must depend.
Any voter who votes in blind
prejudice of his interests will not
likely appreciate the full worth
of L. G. Richardson to Stevens
county. But the voter who be-

At the |. W. Weaver public sale
in Echo valley Tuesday, s head
of sheep were sold by AuctiOneer
Buckley at 1925 per head, and
81 head sold at 1925 per head.
One buck sold for 500. 1t is de
sired that the above item be yeri-
fed by the readers, and then COM
pared with predictions printed a
few years ago by the Statesman
Index, our local tariff supporter.
The result of such a comparison
might lead one to believe that the
predictions of the death of the
sheep and wool industry under
democratic tariff were not based
on strictly accurate knowledge.

REMEMBER THIS

Governor Lister, by his vetoes,
saved to the people their power to
rule.
When re-actionary measures
were carried over his veto with
emergency clauses attached which
would have made them laws at
once and cut off the invoking of
the referendum he fought them in
the supreme court and WON.
Governor Lister is not only OPP
posed to all of the initiative and
referendum measures and the con-
&titutional amendment but is fight
ing them every day, while his OPP
ponent is being backed by the
special interests who want them
put over"
Lister saved the eight-hour law
by vetoing the bill repeating it.
lister has made the minimum
wage law for women a real bene-
fit instead of sop to appease the
honest demands of the working
women of Washington.
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1916-11-04

Lister has saved the people of
Washington over $5,000,000 by
vetoing eXtravagant appropria-
tionS.
Lister gave the state it's pres
ent great road system.
Lister turned back into the
treasury during the first two years
he was in office $714,739, a saving
of Ii per cent in the cost of gov
eminent.
Lister is opposed by the social
led Washington Business League,
composed Of public service cor
porations, by the saloon and brew
cry interests, and the enemies of
popular government
How can any progressive vote
for Mcbride, who is running on
a platform which seeks to nullify
the initiative, referendum and re-
call and to restore the days of
party conventions-the chief of
the principles-for which every
progressive has commended?
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1916-11-04

Mcbride is the candidate of the
brcwerieS. 1t is apparent, there
fore. that Mcbride would have
no chance to be elected if the dem
ocrats and the prohibition republi-
cans should combine on him, and
therefore Mr.. Mcbride must play
to his dry" brothers. That he,
in spite Of this, did not commit
himself but to empty and mean
ingleSs promises. as he made them
in the First Methodist church of
Spokane, proves simply that he is
in reality am honest man.
Governor Lister is dry he
has always been dry. Twenty
four years ago he was an officer
in the Good Tcmplars Of this state;
as a member of the Tacoma coun-
ell he never voted for a saloon
license; as a delegate to the Spo-
kane democratic convention, he
lead the fight which resulted in
the insertion Of Il prohibition
plank in its platform; when the
dry bill was proposed two years
ago, he offered to campaign the
state for it; as soon as the pres
ent initiative measures were filed
last spring he inaugurated the
fight against them.
