Lamping and Senator Ed T. Coman are willing to debate their public records, cam- paign expenditures and political views, while Gov. Hart and Roland B. Hartley run away from such a suggestion. *" The reason is plain. It i: pearly that neither Hartley nor Hart can afford the light of publicity which a debate would throw upon them and their methods. Neither is fit to be governor. In Hart- ley’s behalf, money seems to be no object in the effort to capture the gubernatorial office. Per- haps the most serious mistake that could we happen would be the nomination and wpe ted Hartley. It is hardly conceivable that he cou elected, at that. Lt US NOT MINCE WORDS. Hartley is body and soul the tool of those interests which boast of labor-crushing methods. He is, in his way, an extremist in economic and labor views, as Bill Haywood is on I. W. W. tactics. Both are radi- cals of the dangerous type; both see red. It would be a calamity to plunge this state into Hartley leadership. Gov. Hart does not present the extreme men- ace that Hartley does, but his record is bad enough. Vacillating, bending to every wind, Hart has made a sorry figure while in office. Afraid or unwilling to stand on his own legs, he has lent himself to every whim and to every scheme of the reactionary political machine in the legislature. In contrast to Hartley and Hart, there are Col. Lamping and Senator Coman. They differ on many things, but it is an honest difference of opinion. They are controlled by no political ma- chine, nor by an industrial or commercial ma- chine. Lamping is a progressive—a Roosevelt 1912 progressive. Senator Coman is conservative. They both served in the last legislature. They did not vote alike. But they had this in com- mon—they were independent; they were con- trolled by no “unseen hand”; they voted accord- ing to their own consciences and beliefs, and not because their votes were dictated by any politi- cal ring. fee AMPING’S CAREER in this state dates back to boyhood. He has grown with the state. Serving with distinction in the Spanish-American war, he came back to civilian life a good deal like many of the Yanks came home in 1919—broke and practically homeless. It was this experience that made him father the Lamping bonus bill for returned soldiers, and he fought for it tooth and toenail, despite the crushing attempts of the leg- lative machine and the governor's opposition. He also fought against the wild orgy of appropri- ations on armories and in other “pork barrel” ventures.’ He fought for progressive measures; for bills that helped to create better social jus- tice. He is a good fighter and a square shooter. GENATOR COMAN began his career in Wash- ington as a young man. He came here poor but courageous. Step by step he climbed. To- day he is head of the largest bank in Spokane. He has been honored by the citizens of Eastern Washington in many ways. He possesses a rare quality—candor. He opposed the Lamping bonus bill, and he stated why. It was not because anybody dictated his vote, but because he con- scientiously believed it unconstitutional, faultily constructed both in law and in economics. To- day, the bill having been amended, he urges its adoption. He urges the defeat of the Carlyon road bill, which the political machine in the leg- islature put over under questionable circum- stances. The Lamping bill and the Carlyon bill demonstrate his independence; that, while in the one instance he refused to line up with Senator Lamping, in the other instance he refused to line up with the legislative ring. A man of large financial means, he has kept his campaign free of the charges hurled against Hartley and Hart of “trying to buy the office of governor.” IN THE OPINION OF THE STAR, the govern- orship ought to rest between Lamping and *Coman. One represents the honest thought of “the progressive wing of the republican party. The other represents the honest thought of the con- servative wing. Hart and Hartley are unfit, misfits. |Bewa-r-e of Morning Kiss, Sezze Dangerous at “at Any gre But Deadly Then, t. b.
