All but few of the bills introduced
by Senator johnson were pension ana
other bills affecting ex-soldiers ard
sailors of the United States. Such iegls
lation as this is put through by the
colleagues of senators and representa-
tives in Congress as a matter OF couf-
tesv. That is the usual thing, and each
member expects such courtesy from his
colleagues.
The bills introduced by Senator John
son did not go through. What is the
logical conclusion based upon the aboH {
nramise2 There is only one: Senator
Johnson was not and is not considered
colleague in a true sense by members
of the Senate. If he is not a colleague,
and is virtually an outlaw, what can
his constituents hope for in the way OF
representation by him? Nothing,
is the logical conclusion.
Then, how can an unwarped, unpre-
iudiced mind conclude that reelection
of Senator johnson is absolutely neccS
sarv to the successful issue of the
Boulder canyon dam project?.
Moore the Opposite
One who destroys only is worth little
to mankind Therefore, it would be 4
| failure of service equal to Senatoi
| johnson s lack of accomplishment u
| those opposing the senator did not otfc.
| to replace him with man whose recorc
| of accomplishment and Temperament
| warrants the belief that he will be :
| better man in Senator johnson s place
| What is offered? Charles c. Moore, the
! candidate opposing Senator Johnson
has record that glares with accom-
plishments. In addition to that record
an excerpt from his platform completes
another premise from which rc ma,
draw conclusions.
| Mr. Moore's platform declares:
! Gin solving these great problems
will support the president and the pro
gressive leaders of the Republica
party
| Mr. Moore s entire platform is
clear declaration, impossible Of mis-
construction. The excerpt here quote
probably is one of the lesser planks o
the whole. But, in the light of all thi
reasoning concerning Senator Johnson
lack of accomplishment and our hope
for the future, it is of very great i'm
portance to the people of California
| Mr.. Moore IS policy, thus expressed
will place him in position to get fo
his constituents the things they desir
land need. His policy will not array tn
entire government against our repre-
sentative in the upper house of Cor
gress. 1t will not put the stamp o
outlawry upon him. He will be cor
sidered colleague in every sense 0
l bo Nd h,rf r,-ln Fri wit
him to construct.
Moore for Boulder Dam
And Mr. Moore has declared himsel
strongly in. favor of the Boulder cat
yon dam project. esT
Mr.. Moore is not a politician; he
not even good campaigner in polit
al sense. He does not attempt an
flights of oratory. He is in no way
demagogue. He has declared that tn
crying need of our government is le;
Jratory and more business i'll the hal
IF Congress. "Build by actual deeds,
is his slogan. Nothing else could com
from his training and temperament. II
is u great construction engineer; til
| close friend of that other great cor
| struction engineer, Secretary Hoover
who represents the federal governmen
in guiding the destinies of the Bouldc
canyon dam project.
| With all these premises from whic
to draw conclusions, what does logi
declare as between Senator Johnso
and his opponent, Mr.. Moore, in tn
matter of the Boulder canyon dam pre-
ject, as well as all other governments
projects in which we Californians ma
have a very great interest? Can MI
Moore accomplish more or less tha
Senator johnson in the United State
Senate?
"More,' must be the conclusion o
the judgment unwarped by sense o
loyalty and gratitude for past persona
favors, and not controlled by desire
for future personal patronage at tn
hands of Senator johnson.
