Object Details

From the fourth of Hal Holmes’s eight campaigns, this handbill details the benefits he had already brought to his district, including water management and dam construction legislation. The term that followed Holmes’s successful campaign would yield important relief from what the New York Times called a “disastrous season” for fruit growers in Washington. Holmes, along with the rest of the state delegation, secured the purchase of 1 million cases of canned peaches in an effort to save farmers from bankruptcy.
