ANOTHER OF THE SEVEN.

| Some CONSERVATION was created
among the six other republican aspi-
rants for congress from this district
when Miss Reba J.. Hurn SHE'D her
bonnet in the ring and announced that
she would go before the voters as
candidate for that office. as 1t was
difficult to figure out what element of
strength that lady might develop or
how the chances fhaving a woman,
and an attractive and bright member
Of the female contingent, at that,
might appeal to the voter more espec-
tally the voter of the gentler sex. 1t Is
still a mooted question as to how
much ice lady candidate Is to cut
In the primary election. but as she is
a whirlwind campaigner and is going
to keep on chasing down as many OF
the electorate as she can possibly in
terview up to the day Of election 1t
will keep the six boys Of mature age
who are her competitors in the race
busy figuring upon the possibilities OF
her beating them to 1t.
Miss Hurn, on a rush trip through
Okanogan county was in Oroville for
very brief period last Friday, and
she was not able to meet as many of
our citizens as she would have liked
to, but there was an excellent reason
for cutting her visit short, very gal
lently the Commercial Club of Omak
had arranged to hold special
meeting for that particular even
ing out of courtesy to Miss Hurn and
she was to be the guest Of honor. 1t
was necessary for her to return to
Omak early in the afternoon. and as
she did not arriv here until about
noon her time was very limited. There
WAS more in 1t for her to meet voters
in mass, as they could be met at a
Commercial Club gathering, than
ing them up singly, and she was wise
to accept the Omak invitation, making
any kind of sacrifice to get there, for
Omak precinct polls large vote and
that voter has a very sensible habit of
supportin gthe republican ticket.
Those who met Miss Hern while she
was here could not help being pleased
WIFI TIE lduy, tOT out 10 ali lutcl Cot-
ing and animated talker. has charm
ing personality with force and poise
which we'll fits her for a place In
public life Miss Hurn is we'll equip
ped for the office to which she aspires
and should she be nominated and
elected she would make an enviable
record in congress. She was member
of the state senate and took part in
the last session of that body. She Is
the first woman in the state to be
elected to membership in the upper
house. Her record in the legislature
will compare favorably with the best
among the male members Of that
branch. Her pronunciamento is brief,
but contains considerable meat. She
is for strict economy in the use Of
public money. She is an enthusiastic
supporter of the Columbia Basin pro-
ject Naturally she believes in prohi-
bition and the strict enforcement Of
prohibition laws. She is opposed to
child labor and is for a minimum
wage. She favors a world court with
the United States as factor in that
court She is for all these things that
promise the greatest good for the
greatest number.
A formidable candidate is Miss

Some people are fighting the 18th
amendment on the grounds that it
costs so much for enforcement Why
not apply the same argument to every
state and federal law made to protect
society against the criminal, for the
man who breaks the 18th amendment
is just as guilty of crime as the man
who breaks into a building to rob or
who shoots down his fellowman on
the highway, and that is just what
