Howard Whiting, a candidate be fore the republican primaries for the nomination of railroad commissioner, Is In the city today making acquaint ances. In commercial circles Mr. Whiting is no stranger, as he Is a member of the wholesale firm of Fisher, Thorson & Co., of Portland and as a large shipper, his candidacy came about largely through the com mercial Interests there, who desired that a business man, and a man who was In sympathy and knew the needs of the commercial world, be selected for this important position. Mr. Whit ing Is in no sense of the word a poli tician, but purely a business man. He is entirely free and Independent of all railroad companies or railroad Influ ences and all transportation or other corporation and if nominated and elected will see that the rights and In. teresta of the people are properly prof tected from any unjust burdens and exactions of railroad 'companies and will do what is right and. Just to all parties concerned. Being an active business man and a large shipper, his years of experience Ini these matters will be -especially helpful to him If elected Mr. Whiting is a pleasant gentleman to meet and if chosen the people will find hi malways .willing to lend a helping hand toward securing justice.
