REPUBLICAN. CANDIDATE FOR
STATE SENATOR
George W. Dunn, candidate for re-election to
the office of State Senator for the sixth Senatorial
District, comprising Jackson County, is at present
representing that district in the State Senate.
A members usefulness and opportunity to be
of value to his constituents is measured largely by
his committee appointments and the ability he ha«
to command the friendship and respect of his fel
low legislators.
In this respect Senator Dunn has been very
fortunate. During the 32nd Session of the Legis
lature he served on the following standing commit-'
tees, vis: Elections and Privileges, Education, Game,
Irrigation, Mining and Roads and Highways; and
during the 33rd Session he served on Comities,
Ways anti. Means,- Banking, Election and Privileges,
Game and Mining.
(
’
• The real work of legislation is accomplished
in the committee room and that is where a mem
bers usefulness to his constituents is measured. If
Senator Dunn is re-elected for another term, his
past experience and the intimate friendship foormed
will enable him to he of greater service in the fu
ture.
He believes in rational economy; fewer laws,
enforcement of all laws; repeal of bad laws', reduc
tion of taxes by curtailment ,of expenses, that the
penitentiary should he under the management of
the State Board of Control and not, as present,
used for a political foot ball, that Prohibition is
right regardless of how the voters vote, that no man
or woman, who gets intoxicated should he licensed
to »Irive an automobile, that the State programme
of highway development should he continued and
completed and, in short, that the S tate’s business
should he conducted in the some careful and sys
tematic manner as the successful business man
conducts his own.
He will carefully study<every measure*coming
before the Legislature and will us his best judg
ment in voting upon the same, uninfluenced by pop
ular clamor or personal interest.
The electorate of Jackson County will serve
their own liest interests by re-elcting State Senator
George W. Dunn for another term.
