One would think that all idea of taking an

of the minds of everyone by the heavy masses

be daunted by small setbacks, such as fear of
little wetting now and then. Beside, the

WHERE HoNoR rs DUE.

In the satisfaction which the Re-
publicans OF King county feel in the
substantial victory which they won on
the 9Th of November, they should not
neglect to show their appreciation of
the services of two young men to
whose untiring and well-directed ef-
forts the triumph was largely due.
These are II. b. Albertson and John
r. Mitchell, respectively chairman ana
secretary OF the Republican county
committee,
Mr.. Albertson was unexpectedly
called to the craftsmanship OF the
committee by the resignation OF Col
onel Haines. Though without ex-
tended experience in politics, he
readily mastered the situation and
proved himself in every way capable
OF filing the position in which he
was placed. lie planned the cam
paign carefully and sagaciously-so
sagaeiously, indeed, that, from the
beginning OF the contest TO the COM
pletion of the official count, there was
not single false step made.
The credit which Is due to Mr.. Al
bertson, however, Is due in equal de-
gree to Mr.. Mitchell. who worked
faithfully and well in behalf of the
party. Nothing seemed TO daunt or
discourage him. Every duty which i,
was his to perform. he performed
promptly and efficiently. The effic.
ieney of the Republican organization
is attested by the fact that at least
four-iifths OF the Republicans Of the
county voted the straight ticket, nc
less than 900 such tickets having beer
placed in the ballot boxes, Such AZ
organization would have been impos

those which Mr. Mitchell PIT forth.

VOORHEES,, he has never put forth well
directed efforts to secure the admis-
sion of the territory and /. is not at ali
likely that he will do so now, smart
ing as he Is under an overwhelming
defeat.
In this emergency the people OF the
territory should send their own repre-
sentative to the national capital. A
fund should be raised by popular sub
scription and two or more men offorce
and ability should be sent to urge
washington's claims upon congress.
The people Of Dakota are already pre-
pairing TO have their own representa-
tives on the field when congress meets,
and the people OF Washington should
not be behind them in their efforts to
secure justice.
In order to be successful, such
movement as that suggested should be

should be selected for the mission men
who are willing and able to do effec-

II is not impossible that an earnest
and united effort may secure the adj
