SENATOR POINDExTER'S RECORD

SENA1Vh TVlNDEA1EAO REIVhWs
The public has heard much adverse
criticism OF Senator Poindexter's rec
ord in congress during the primary
campaign. Even the immaculate Dill,
by lowering himself to half-truths.
conveyed Impressions that would lead
his hearers to believe that Mr.. Pom
dexter had voted against every pro-
gressive measure that has been up be-
fore congress for consideration since
his election to the senate. 1t Is not ex-
pected that the general public should
be familiar with the record of Mr..
Poindexter since his occupancy OF the
office of United States senator, as the
public is not familiar with the record
OF. any other member of that body, and
hence irresponsible speakers, who hes
itate at no misstatement to prejudice
voters against any particular cOndi-
date for office, and CONSCIOUSNESS
newspapers make it point during a
campaign to criticise the acts of q pub
lie servant whom they wish to see
u,
lies will resort to innuendOs. insinua-
tons and yelled hints reflecting upon
the candidates record.
Senator Poindexter has by his rec
ord shown that he has been consistent
in voting for progressive and con-
structive laws. Not only has he voted
for many measures that had for their
object the greatest good for the great
est number, but being forceful
speaker and a man whose forensic gift
carries weight and influence with his
associates in the senate, his voice has
been instrumental in supporting laws
that made for the upbuilding Of the
nation and the happiness of the peo-
pie thereof.
No cold, unloyal unAmerican respre-
sentative of the great and loyal state
of Washington is Senator POindexter.
He did not try to paralyze the ef0frts
Of the president of the United States
at the time the president was faced by
a great responsibility. as his opponent
Dill did, Notwithstanding the president
vas of an opposition party. but gave
his undivided support to tne president
in every measure offered for the sue
cessful conduct of the war, and since
then has been an unwavering friend
and hacker of the boys who responded
10 the call and so nobly upheld the
honor Of the flag ON foreign soil. No
snivelling pacifist is Senator Poindex-
ter who has to go out upon the hust-
ings today and apologize for his oppo-
sition to the president vita weak ar
gument
But the facts as to Senator Pom
dexters record in congress is the rec
ord itself, and below is given a list

able one, one that should win the sup
port of every republican in the state.
