I have been able to do in spite
of the fact that the Republicans
have had substantial majorities in
both the senate and house.
My candidacy is based solely on
my record of accomplishments.
Realizing that our farmers, la
borers, manufacturers and mer-
chants were in need of substantial
assistance l have spent my time
laboring for them in constitute
tive way, rather than making par
tlsan political speeches.
1t is well known that nearly all
Legislation is framed in commit
tees, and I am fortunate in be-
ing next to the ranking Democrat
on the committee on appropria-
tions, the most important of all
committees. Z.
I have supported woman Juf-
frage and prohibition and have at
all times been on the moral side
of every public question.
No senator has taken deeper
interest in the matter of immigra-
ton. During my first year in the
senate I introduced a bill prohibit
ing all immigration for at least
five years, and consistently urged
the passage of such measure.
After the war came reconstruc-

to the farmers. I am a member
of the farm bloc and am conf

no senator has worked harder or
accomplished more for the farmer
than l have during the last five
years.

The State Board of Education

old primary.
Relative to Glass A certificates
and the payment of $1,O0 fee re
Gently charged in connection with
inauguration of the new Ballard
certification system, Supt. Depree
is instructed as follows.
"The examination questions will
be sent, as usual to the county sup

who are applying for lass A GER

be sent to the state department.
The only advantage of a teach
