q PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SCORES ON ENEMIES Electorate Urged to Examine Facts. Weigh Evidence. County Has Had Services of Emi nent Attorneys Instead of Inex perienced Deputy, as Democratic Candidate Proposes to Employ. In their f ran tie endeavor to defeat Charles L. Cbamberlin, the present efficient prosecating attorney, the dem ocrats are sending out circulars and making newspaper attacks in their en deavor to show that his administration has been an expensive one for the tax payers. An iiimination of the records will show that aside from assistance employed in the catPi arising from the failure of the Palouse State Hank the total amount paid out or to be paid out falls below the sum of $2000. It ie a well known fact that there have been a number of important cases tried, including seven road condemnation canes. No regular deputy has been employed, but some of the bent lawyers iv the county have been called in to assist and ;the county has had the services,of able attorneys, in etead of an inexperienced deputy, such as the democratic candidate proposes to employ. So as a matter of economy alone Mr. Chamberlin's plan saves money, for a deputy would have cost more up to the present time than having counsel in special cases. No one will contend in the cases growing out of the failure of the Palouse State Bank but what additional legal counsel was re quired, no matter who the incumbent of the office might have been. The record of hie office for the first year shows that he has been diligent. From January 11, 1909, to December 31, 1909, the date of the report re quired by law to be made to the gov ernor, in the superior court and justice courts there were handled 243 cases, re sulting in 174 convictions. Fines were collected exceeding $3500, which is $550 more than hie predecessor collected dur ing hie entire first term. There is no reason to doubt but what his second year will show as favorable a report as the first year. A comparative statement of caees in the superior court shows that his record compares favorably with hit* predeces sors. During It. 11. Hanna's term of two years he had 115 cases and 46 con victions; R. H. Kipp in four years had "2-2'.\ cases and 88 convictions; Charles L. Uhamberlin's first 19 months, 130 cases and 56 convictions. It is also to be remembered that 40 of the cases brought durintr Mr. Chamberlin's term were grand jury indictments, which, as is well known, only hear one side of the case and it is difficult to secure convic tions in this class of cases. The Gazette believes that Mr. Cham berlin's administration of the office has been economical and efficient and he should be re-electe.l. LETTER FROM OLIVER HALL Without Equivocation States His Position on Public Questions. To the Voters of the; Eighth Senatorial District, Whitman County: I have been nominated by the republi cans of the Eighth senatorial district as their candidate for state senator. There are many questions not mentioned in the platform of the party in which the people are much interested, and while it would be a pleasure to meet you all per sonally and discuss these questions I have thought it beet to state plainly in the public press my position on the leading questions in which the general public is interested. lam in favor of election of United Statee senators by direct vote of the people, therefore, when I 61ed my decla ration of candidacy I pledged myself, if elected, to vote for the party's choice for U. S. senator. If elected a member of the next state senate I will vote for Miles Poindexter. Much interest eeems to be taken in proposed amendments to the local op tion law. I never had any use for a saloon in any form, and never could see that they were of benefit to the individ ual or the community, and I believe that the people of this county should have the opportunity to decide whether in toxicating liquors should or should not be sold in the county; therefore 1 will vote to amend the local option law so that the county will be the unit. Fur thermore, I will vote "dry"' when voting in any district in which I may live, no matter what the sire of the unit may be. I have been asked my position on di rect legislation—the initiative and refer endum. The only way in which this question can come before the next legis lature is ac a proposed amendment to the constitution, permitting the people to decide at the next election whether they wish to adopt the change. I shall vote for a submission of that question to the people. I am opposed to the present state aid road law. COLFAX GAZETTE, COLFAX, WASHINGTON, OCTOBER 28, 1910. At the republican convention I voted ! to place th« selection of supreme court judijt'H under the primary law. lam ■ still in favor of selecting supreme court ! [ttdgefl under a similar plan to that by | which superior court judges are selected, I and will no vote if elected a member of j the senate. I have left what seems to me to be the I most importaut question for the last, and that is my position in regard to ap- j propriatious. It is very easy to say, "I am in favor of smaller appropria tions, so that taxes may be lower," but the question is how to obtain results along these lines. I believe that every candidate from this county will be in 1 favor of this, but who will be in a posi tion to obtain the best results? I think j all will concede that the next state senate will be republican, therefore republicans will be given the best committee assign- ' ments, and will have more influence in ■ controlling appropriations than any democrat could possibly have. I have bad more experience in legisla tive bodies than any other man in Whitman county, and should have some knowledge of how to get results. If there is anything I have not made plain 1 hope my attention will be called to it, as I wish to have the same plat form from Cniontown to Hooper, whether it results in my election or de feat. Oliver Hall. CARD FROM MR. LAWRENCE. A Pioneer Citizen Who Offers Him self for Legislative Honors. To the Voters of the Seventh Legislative District of Wtit-hingtou: Having lived in Whitman county since 1876, and 33 years out of 42 years of my life having been spent here, and hav ing been engaged in farming nince 1889, and having learned something of farm life, and having been a taxpayer for 20 years, I believe that I am qualified to represent the farmer aDd taxpayer as a representative from the Seventh district. Two years ago I moved to Colfax, bought a home, and am now engaged as special representative for Whitman county by Toe Trustee Company of Spokane. I believe that the present road law hae proved inadequate, and find that the farmers of the district do not like the present law, and aR the farmer is the one vitally interested I favor a change, and a new law passed along the line of town ship organization. I am opposed to excessive appropria tions by the state legislature, and be lieve that the people's money should only be spent iv a way thut will bring the greatest good to the many. It in necessary that our institutions should be sustained in a way that will be of credit to the state, but in doing ho ap propriations should be cut down to a basis which is necessary for their proper maintenance and needed improvement, allowing a reasonable amount for ad vancement, and all in excess of that should be left in the hands of the people to whom it belongs. Very truly yours, G. H. Lawrence. Grain Quotations. Red Russian $ Club and hybrid g5 Fortyfold ' [ 67 Blueetein (59 Fife .....""!

R. & N. railway company has installed a ticket and freight agent at the Hot Lake Sanatorium. This addi tion to the departmental staff now gives that institution a complete lint of public accommodations. The Hot Lake Sana torium now has its own postoffice, tele phone and telegraph office, express and ticket office and freight agent. The depot is thoroughly and comfortably equipped. This will be thoroughly ap preciated by those who visit the sana torium. Tickets may be purchased to any point in the United States and sleep ing car reservations made for all trains. All trains continue to stop at Hot Lake. The installation was made necessary by the volume of business. During the year 1909 nearly ten thousand patients were treated at that institution, and the in dicatiocs for this year are even better. Cold Feet, chilblains, frost bite and other cold weather troubles are instantly relieved when the affected parts are rubbed with Ballard's Snow Liniment. No house hold should be without this invaluable remedy—relieves aches, pains, cramp, stiffness, burns, scalds, rheumatism and neuralgia. Sold by V. T.
