TUBES FOR SENATOR

TALLANT TUBES, Republican candi-
date for the United States senate, is
the choice of The Press in the general
election on November s.
This publication did not support
Tubbs at the August primary believing
that Senator Shortridge was entitled to
continue in office on the record of his
two terms. The Republican party of
California believed differently and Tubbs
became the party candidate.
Tubbs is a native Californian, having
been born in San Francisco, and for the
past eight years has been member of
the state senate. Loyalty to California
and its industries has been an outstand-
ing characteristic of his career and has
inspired his heartiest support for the
Republican party, whose championship
of the protective tariff has meant SO
much to the industries of this state, par
ticularly in. agricultural lines.
His vigorous opposition to the eigh-
teenth amendment, which he stressed
several years ago when most politicians
steered clear of such a controversial and
dangerous subject, has its origin chief
ly in the loss California hop and grape
growers have sustained since the amend
ment practically put an end to these two
industries which flourished in Califor-
MIA.
An ex-service man himself, Tubbs did
not hesitate to come out publicly in OPP
position to payment of the bonus at this
time, and went on record to this extent
when this subject was also being lodged
by many candidates for office.
His loyal support of the national Re-
publican ticket, in contrast to the atti-
tude of many others who have received
far greater honors from the party, has
won for him many friends. One-half of
his time on all speeches he has made in
the course of his campaign has been de-
voted to support of the Hoover admin
istration.
Tubbs is young ambitious and pro-
gressive. He has the courage of his con-
victions and is not afraid to express his
opinions, and having done so he has dem
onstrated that he is willing to stand by
them.
He is opposed by William G. McAdoo,

Last spring Collins sought to am
