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.
