arley Christensen
Candidate For Pres
ident on the Farmer
Labor Ticket

Farley Parker Christensen was
born on farm at Weston, Idaho, in
1869. His father was a freighter
on the Montana railroad. His par
ents, of Danish descent, were among
the early pioneers of the great west.
AS girl of II, his mother walked
across the plains, 1900 miles. His
father, an earlier pilgrim, drove an
OK team from the Missouri river to
the Rocky Mountains. His mother,
n years old, and for the past seven
years blind, lives today in Salt Lake
City with her son Farley, who is
unmarried, principally, some say, be-
cause to him fell the duty of raising
the family Of six children.
From the time that Christensen
emerged from college with a sheep
skin in law, he has battled on the
side of labor. AS prosecuting at
torney of Salt Lake County, he dis
covered that the mine owners, con-
sldering themselves above the law
were compelling men and boys to
work ten and twelve hours a day.
Christensen resurrected a long for
gotten statute limiting the work of
"iluei Sloullu WorkerS TO eight hOurS
a day, and enforced it. At the same
time, he prosecuted public contrac-
tors for violation of the law limit
ing the working of laborers on mu-
nicipal operations to eight hours a
day; and, although it broke the
contractors, it established the eight
hour day in Utah, and never since
then have employers attempted to
violate it.
When the steam roller of Penrose,
Murray Crane, Reed Smoot, and the
old guard republican bosses, in 1920
obliterated the will of the rank and
file republicans more flagrantly than
ever P. Christensen was one of the
first to rebel, joining the fight with
Roosevelt or the progressive party.
And later, in 1916, when Roosevelt
endeavored to lead his former fol-
lowers back into the republican party
still controlled by the reactionary
bosses of 1912, Christensen support
ed Wilson until he became convinced
that Wilson had betrayed the pro-
gram which he professed to cham
pion.

told the people to vote for Hadley
because he had always served the in
terests.
Mrs. Alta Salmon Ventzkc, candi-
date for superintendent Of public in
struction, was next introduced and
talked on education, and the educa-
tional problems facing the country
today.
She told of forming grange study
clubs where the women discuss all
problems and where they have learn
ed to investigate things for them
selves One example she gave was
that they had heard so much of the
court maritals during the war, SO
they got the congressional records
and investigated for themselves. They
found that two young lads, 19 years
Of age, had been on guard duty in
France for three consecutive nights
and had finally fallen asleep, eX-
hausted. They were tried and SEN
fenced to be shot. Secretary of War
Baker would not sign that warrant
so they were sentenced to prison for
two years.
Mrs. Ventzke touched on the min
imum wage conference and the in
dustrial welfare commission telling
them that the employers told the
girls that they did not need a night
Gown.
Mrs. Ventzke claims that the
school system is the leading factor
in the life of the nation. She said
that the teacher, the curriculum,
schools are the factors in education.
"The most important factor in edu
cation is the teacher. Upon the
teacher depends the future welfare
of the citizens of this nation" Mrs.
Ventzke then showed that 80 per
cent of the teachers go into the
school room direct from the eighth
grade. Girls go direct from the city
to the country and practice on the
country children, city girls do not
know anything of country life.
"If we are to have efficient teach
.ers we must raise the salary stand
ard so that they can have a salary
sufficient to live on" Mrs. Ventzke
said that one way to pay for higher
salaries is to tax the large corpora
tions whose taxes are being stead
lily reduced and the other way is to
get the full rental value of the land
that are school lands. Some of the
lands whose rental value is all the
way from $5 to $13 per acre while
the school district is receiving from
Is cents to $1.25 per acre.
Mrs. Bentzke tells conditions in
the schools as they really exist and
she has opened the eyes of many
people who did not understand the
education system.
E. C. Daley acted as chairman of
the Everett meeting and introduced
some of the county candidates among
them were Mrs. Alice Ferrell, Chas
Goldthorpe, Chas. E. Brewer, f. c.
Craig, and James Matin Wilson.
A good sized audience heard Mr.
Bouck and Mrs. Ventzke in the con-
vention tent Sunday evening.

Bridges On Education
Pullman, Wash, October
To Editor Labor World:

To Editor Labor World:
If l am elected governor one of
my first acts will be to request the
faculties of the state colleges, the
state university and other institu-
tions of learning, as well as the or
ganized educators of the common
schools, to appoint representatives
to meet with and advise me as to
their needs. The program upon
which we agree will be Incorporated
in my message to the state legis-
lature.
Under my administration no one
educational institution will be eX-
allied at the expense of another. My
policy will be to see that each func-
tions as efficiently as possible in
the field prescribed for it by the
act under which it was created.
Having for many years been a
member of the industrial classes and
now being a real "dirt farmer"
am particularly interested in the
work and should | become chief ex-
ecutive of the state pledge my ear
nest efforts to see that no legisla-
tion is passed to impair its growth
or circumscribe the scope of it's
work as now fixed by law. To my
mind money expended in training
the young men and women of the
state to work efficiently with their
hands as we'll as their brains in the
production of the necessities of life
and the solution of the problems of
production is one of the best invest
ments that the state can make, be-
cause it pays big dividends in good
citizenship.
While the state of Washington has
been in the past exceedingly liberal
towards its educational institutions,
the benefit that its citizens have de
rived should impel them to further
liberal expenditures on behalf of
these institutions.

able to see that the boys and girls of
our state are taught how to be good
citizens, how to live right and enjoy
life as they go.
Mrs. Ventzke was born in Ken
tucky in 1880. She passed her child
hood on a farm where she received
a common school education, attended
the rural schools. She finished high
school in Young's Academy, received
a business training in Karney's
Commercial College, and her profes-
sional training in Northern Indiana
University and the state normal at
Valley City, North Dakota.
Her experiences have been varied
so she is thoroughly familiar with
all phases of teaching life. She
taught six years in Kentucky, three
years of which she was principal
of city schools She was superin-
tendent Of the high school at Low
den, North Dakota, for two years,
and came to Washington in 1907,
where she has taught ever since,
both in the rural and city schools.
She was married in 1911 to Mr..
Emil Ventzke, one of the earliest
settlers of Okanogan county. Since
that time, they have lived on their
farm near Winthrop, Washington, in
Okanogan county.
Mrs. Ventzke has made a special
study of rural school conditions and
understands thoroughly the farm
problems, and if elected, she Will
stand on the Farmer-Labor platform
and will do her utmost to teach the
boys and girls to think and to think
intelligently.
