VOTE OUT FAMFHELETS .... i; ; The Potter mil, auoiiMuuB , dates" pnmphets, came up in the state House last Thursday ana passea oy . - , o. Ti ....... tl J I B VOtC O oo 10 J. t wcuv ; Senate committee and it is expected will pars that body. The bill calls for the abolishment o a useless and expensive class of ad vertising. Heretofore the state has stood the expense of publishing and circulating pamphlts containing can didates platforms, the expense Tun ing into thousands of dollars. . Uuder the proposed bill those who ere running for office and who de sire voters to know how they stand on measures will have .to patronize the newsapers for such purpose. There can only be a certain number of candidates elected and,' of course, many more defeated, and all this un nessary propaganda adds to the elec tion expenses of the state and rightly should be don away with. . Senator Joseph seems to have forgotten the result of the last elec tion when the hydro-electric mea sure was voted down by nearly four to one, as he has introduced a bill in the state senate authorizing the state to go into the construction of power plants. The' senator is honest enough to confess he does not know what his bill is about. If that is the case we believe his constitu ents made a mistake in sending him to represent them in the state sen ate. A man in that position should at least realize what his measures stand for and the purpose of their introduction.
