'.'Before we entered the war we
were offered princely bribes of ter

of tlie- central powers. Then vve were
offered equally tempting bribes to
remain neutral. Later, mont li by
month, wo have been offered these

peace. Italy as not forced into the
war. II was not a case* ofi lf-preser-

mained neutral and v axed rich by
selling food and munitions to both
sides. But we did not remain neu

A large portion of our loved land
is in the hands of our enemies. Thou

WHITMAN DEMOCRATS
ADOPT RESOLUTIONS
Commend W. »■:. McCrodrei to the
Voters of District as Well Quali
fied to Represent Them In
' Congress
A well attended mass meeting of
democrat;- was held in Colfax "lon
day, in response to a call sent out
by iln' i hairman and secretary of the
county central committee. The meet
no.' was bedel in tin. city hall and was
called to order by county Chairman
T. A. White of si John. Organiza
tion was perfected by the election of
\Y l.\ McCroßkeyof. Palouse as chair
man and 0, W. Larue of Colfax as
secretary. he chairman was author
ised to appoint a committee of five
to prepare resolutions. He- named
Wm. Goodyear; 11. C. McCroskey, C.
D. Kirn-aid, ,M. .1. Maloney and M. W.
Merritt.
At the afternoon session the re
pori of the committee on resolutions
was unanimously adopted, as follows:
".We, democrats of Whitman
count>', in mass convention assem
bled, declare- that there is but one
Issue of Importance before the peo
ple oi the United States today the
winning of tho war at tho earliest
pis able moment; and that there is
but safe and sure way of bring
ing about ibis ib red result, the
loyal and hearty support of our Presi
dent, who has won the- confidence
and admiration of the world by the
wisdom and justice of his policies
and I In- wonderful efficiency of his
ad ni In Ist ration.
"in conformity to (hi belief wo
maintain thai no one should be
elected to represent the people in
congress who can not be relied upon
to give his hole-hearted and un
divided support to the war policies of
the administration, instead of devot
ing part of his energies to manufac
turing poetical capital for any party
by criticizing and obstructing such
policies.
"We further hold hal the election
to congress of d republican majority
would tend to Impede the carrying
out of tho war program and would be
regarded by our allies and enemies
among (he' foreign nations as a re
pudiation of such program.
"We hold that it is rank injustice
to impose' upon the young men who
are fighting this war and upon their
descendants the added burden of
paying the bulb of Its cost, and be
lieve with President Wilson that, a
far larger proportion of he expenses
should bo raised by taxation instead
of by issuing bonds. Wo further
hold thai such taxation : hen hi bo
Imposed upon hOse best able finan
cially to bear it, just as the fighting
and hard work are imposed upon
those best •he- physically to stand
that strain, and we, therefore, favor
much heavier taxes on Incomes of
$3000 or over and higher taxes on
war profits.
"We hold thai profiteering is but
another name for disloyalty, and that
individuals nd corporation! detect
■d In scheming to make as much as
possible out of tin' war, instead of
planning (0 put as much as possible
Into the war, should bo regarded,
branded nd pun ii tied as traitors to
h.-ir country.
Having special confidence in the
loyalty, ability and courage of W. B.
McCroskey, wo hereby express our
.ratification thai be has entered the
ace for representative in congress
mil earnestly commend him to the
.oters of the Fourth congressional
llstrlcl as a man well qualified in
•wry way to worthily represent them
n the lower hous<* of congress."
\V, I-:. McCroskey was called upon
o address the meeting and responded
with a concise and forceful outline
>f the platform upon which he pro
poses to make his campaign. He
waa frequently interrupted by ap
ilause, and at the close of his ad-
IreßS was enthusiastically congratu
lated by nearly all present. lb
promised to make an aggressive cam
paign nnd was assured of the cordial
support of the democratic organiza
tion of his homo county.
Several matters pertaining to the
ounty campaign were discussed and
i couple of resolutions offering ad
vice to the central committee were
tilld
