Tuesday Election
To See End Of
Most Campaigns

After long, slow start, election
activity has finally burst into fun
bloom and candidates are thick as
flies around q sugar barrel. A few
more days will see the end Of most
Of the campaigns, for Tuesday the
peepul will give their mandate, and
most Of the candidates will be will
ing to agree that all voters are
liars.
Tuesday Of next week Is primary
election day. The polls will be at
the regular places and will be open
from eight to eight. For the first
time, the new blanket primary ball
lots will be used, with the names Of
all the candidates on both tickets
on the same ballot. Voters may
jump from one party to another,
the same as on the general election
ballot.
Because Of this fact it is almost
impossible to make predictions
concerning the outcome of the cleo
ton, either by party or by candi-
dates.

Benton Has But
One Candidate
For Legislature

OF the ten candidates for the Of
flee Of state representative for the
10th district, only one is from Ben
ton county, one OF the most popu-
lated Of the four counties In the
district. OF the four counties Ben
ton has almost all OF the irrigated
land and the importance of irriga-
ton legislation should be borne in
mind by all residents OF this sec
ton.
Rarely does session of the legis-
lature meet without changes In ir-
rigation laws and once or twice the
changes were serious insofar as they
concerned the Kennewick situation.
A knowledge of irrigation law, and
especially experience in the legisla-
ture prove Of great value to a rep
resentative from this section. Such
person, experienced and with q
fund Of knowledge concerning ir-
rigation problems, is Mark M. Moul-
ton, one Of the three republican
candidates for the office.
Because the joint senator from
this district comes from Franklin
county and the other candidates for
the job Of representative are from
the lower end OF the district where
irrigation matters are of little Inn
portance, MIR. Moulton is finding
his campaign gaining in support.
even from the lower district where
they realize that this section should
have representation.
MIR. Moulton feels that his prev
ious experience In the legislature
will be Of great value, having serv-
ed this county during three session.
1921, 1928 and 1925. AS chairman
Of the judiciary committee, he help
ed pass on many of the proposed
laws coming before the sessions. He
was also a member Of the irriga-
ton committee and the roads and
bridges committee.
His previous experience will prove
Of great benefit to this section in
the event of his election.
