PRAISE FROM DEMOCATIC SOURCE

There are some democrats suffi-
ciently honorable to give Just credit
to a republican office holder, They
are bigger men broader men, fairer
men. more honorable men than Mr..
Fleming and Mr.. Tunstin and other
democrats who insist that all the
angels are in their party and all the
devils in the republican party. One
such man of high principle is George
V. Alexander, of Republic. The name
of George V. Alexander is about as
familiar in Okanogan as it is in Ferry
| county. Everybody knows him person
ally, or by reputation. He is an able
lawyer and has always stood high in
the councils of the democratic party.
nizes that j. Stanley Webster is one
of the best congressman that has ever
been sent to Washington from the Pa
cific coast, and he is the manly man
not only to acknowledge this but to
publicly say so in print. There has
been no higher eulogy paid to Mr.,
Webster than is contained in the state
ment published below, which is an ex-
tract from the Republic News Miner,
published over the signature of George
V. Alexander:
Through the ability, honesty eff
cheney and courage of Judge Webster,
our present congressman, Ferry Coun-
ty will, during the next two years, be
reimbursed by the Federal Govern
ment for expenditures made by the
county in the past on behalf of the In
dams Of the Colville Reservation. The
money for that purpose is now avail
able, and only awaits the action of the
proper department at Washington in
determining the actual amount The
total amount for OkanOgan and Ferry
| counties will be several hundred
| thousand dollars, presumably the lar
ger part of which will come to Ferry
| county because of the large proportion
| OF Indian Reservation being in Ferry
county. l know of single cases in the
Superior court here involving the trial
of Indians which cost the county ap-
proximately ten thouSand dollars,
there having been no Convictions, so
the county was not reimbursed for the
costs of the trial by the state. And in
passing it may be proper to say thar
the efficient work of Judge Webster
as our congressman in this matter is
which his two year term in congress
furnishes, of the vital Importance to
the people of having an able, honest
and fearless man to represent them in
the house of representatives In less
than two years he has made a national
reputation, and most enviable one
too. He is man possessing a broad
and humane sense of justice, and with
al most able, honest and courageous
champion of justice and right. He does
not suit the time-serving politician
\ the cheap demagogue nor the walking
delegate. for with the congress made
up of men like Webster their occupa-
lions would be gone, but for all the
people, laboring men as well as Others
he is an invaluable representative
an able and fearless champion and adj
| vocate. In my humble judgment the
laboring men of the fifth district have
in Judge Webster the truest friend
and ablest representative that is in the
national congress today. Every just
cause that labor may have will have in
him an able, honest and fearless advo-
cate-one who by very reason of his
ability, honesty and courage will be
able to accomplish for it's just and
reasonable demands"
