THE RIGHT MAN

The best way to size up the char
acter of man is to be guided by
the opinions of his associates and
fellow workers, and the following
is what the railroad men think of
Charley Brewer, candidate for state
senator on the Farmer-Labor ticket
The late war has taught us that
we are in great need of a reforma-
ton of our government. We have
sity of the workers waking up and
having something to say about the
laws that are to govern themselves
instead of leaving everything in the
hands of a few G. o. P. Grand Old
Profiteers). 1t is about time that
we understood that members of our
own industrial groups are capable
of properly representing US and that
we should put men in the different
legislatures who we know will have
the interests of the producers at
heart.
The Farmer-Labor party has been
organized for that purpose. The
railroad men have placed our good
brother, Charles E. Brewer, on this
ticket as a candidate for state SEN
ator from the 38th district. Mr..
Brewer is a man that we gladly re-
commend to the other workers and
producers as being made up of the
right kind of stuff to qualify him
to serve in the Legislature. We have
kept Mr.. Brewer in a position in
our affairs long enough to know
ha+ ba i nlr
terests of his fellow man. He has
been Legislative representative for
the Brotherhood Of Railroad Train
men for some time and has gained
a lot of knowledge that would be
useful in serving in the legislature
We have had him at Olympia serv-
ing in the capacity of a lobbyist
begging corporation lawyers to pass
laws beneficial to the workers. In
stead of sending him down to chase
after those fellows we have decided
to put him inside where he will be
in position to do the most good.
After the producers have learned
enough to unite and send such men
as Mr.. Brewer to their legislatures
we may expect some of our resolu-
tions to be enacted into law. You
know we have been wasting a lot
of time passing resolutions.
Mr.. Brewer has been in this coun-
ty for IL years, and has been in the
employ Of the Great Northern rail
road all of that time. He has held
several offices in the brotherhood
of which he is a member and is now
the local chairman of the grievance
committee, That fits him as a rep
resentatiVe Of the workers for the
reason that it trains one to give due
consideration to the rights and
griefs of others. Mr.. Brewer was
born and brought up on farm
This gives him the viewpoint of a
farmer. From the time that he left
the farm until entering railroad serv-
ice he performed several different
kinds of service and has about as
wide experience as can be found in
one of his age. He is thirty-eight
years old Mr. Brewer served at
the first convention ever held in
this county by the Labor party. He
had the distinction of being the only
delegate from the State of Wash
ington.
The railroad men are going down
the line for the Farmer-Labor ticket
from top to bottom and we hope
that the other workers and farmers
will do likewise. Mr.. Brewer is the
only man we have on the ticket
so we hope to see him receive the
support of all useful workers. This
includes you, Mr.. Brain Worker
