An Address TO the Voters Of Thur,
ton County.

Having accepted the nomination
as Representative of Thurston county
and not being an eloquent speaker. to
assert my claims for the position, | feel
justified in doing so through the
columns of the press. 1t is needless
for me to say that the nomination was
unsought and as / have no interests
requiring legislative protection or adj
vancement, it leaves ME free to
take such course as will advance
the interests of the whole people
of Thurston county, and III so doing,
advance my own interests. Ithas been
used against me by persons in Olym-
pia that they could not see how l
could oppose the election of the
Republican nominees, claiming their
eloqucncc and their being in with the
party in power as their qualifications
In answer to this, will say, in a
business life of over twenty years, my
experience has been if l wanted any
thing done to suit me was to 90 and
do it myself and would be sure to be
suited, for that reason feel that
can reasonably expect to get the
support of a number of those who with
myself have stood by the interests of
Thurston county and Olympia in par
ticular in the past twenty years, as
they know l would leave nothing I'M
done that | could do in the interest OF
ThurstOn county. AS for eloquence
| will say that in my opinion the State
of Washington would have been much
better off financially, and otherwise
had there been fewer aspirants in the
last legislature plnming their wings
for higher flight and not doing the
solid work required to accomplish
good legislation.
If man is to be debarred from a
position his ability fits him for on &C
count of politics, it is high time the
people of Thurston county was even
ing up the politics of the county, so
that when party places men on their
ticket who are Objectionable to the
business men and those having the
interest of the county at heart, it can
be corrected at the polls without the
use of the party lash.
My colleague, Mr.. B. F. Ruth, has
had the honor OF representing Thurs
ton county in the Territorial Legisla-
ture, and as he gave perfect satisfaction
then to the people of Thurston coun-
ty consider him better qualified now
to perform those duties. Now as for
my own candidacy l wish to say to the
voters of Thurston county that GER
tainly would feel complimented if
selected to represent you in the legis-
lature of this State; having no business
special of my own requiring attention,
l can devote my undivided time to
looking after the interests of Thurston
county for the sixty days required.
With these few remarks, and after
canvasing the county over l shall
leave the subject with the voters OF
Thurston county, knowing that their
verdict will be a just one if they will
do their own reasoning without the
aid of those who profess an interest in
them but have the behests of their
corporate friends to look after, and
the subscriber will be satisfied, let
the verdict be what it may.

A Desperate Resort.


Ir would indeed be strange ii the
Republican fuglcman could run Il
campaign without downright and per-
sisten lying. 1t seems to be the ma
ture Of those who have at times led
the people by the nose, to rely upon
the politicians axiom, "A lie well
stuck to is good as .he truth" 1t is not
so much now, however, as it was years
ago, when the passions were inflamcd
by the war and little attention was
paid to the questions which become
OF paramount interest in times of
peace.
The Capital is edited by a gentle
man who is new to our people, but
his work shows that he is an cold
stager" in politics. Like all who have
affiliated any great length OF time
with the 6. o. p. he is not only chary
of the the truth when it don't suit
him to Use it, but does not scruple to
misrepresent when he fancies a point
may be made by so doing. His sins
embrace the full scope of the liturgy
and are sins of commission as we'll as
OF omission.
A notable instance OF this perversity
Of nature in the average professional
politician appears in Mondays issue
of that journal, in which after a full
some notice is made of the canvas OF
Col. Eddy, the Republican nominee
for Representative and the claim is
set forth, al nduseane, that it is to
Olympia's interest to give him large
majority, it deliberately states that
Mr.. Chambers, his opponent, "hopes
that it will turn out that way" The
absurdity of the statement should
carry with it its own refutation, but as
some apparently intelligent people
have seemed to believe that it may be
true, Vox states-and states authori-
tatively-that the assumption is with
out the slightest foundation. Mr..
Chambers is in the field simply as
matter of duty, and in response to the
earnest and repeated solicitation of
many leading men of both parties.
Office seeking is not his vocation. 1t
is distasteful for him to pose as can
didate, and no considerations of
purely personal nature would have in
duced him to enter the canvas; but
the times demand that citizens of
known probity of judgment, of fair
average business ability as has been
shown by the management Of their
own affairs; men who are not tied up
to corporation interests; men who will
serve but one master-the people
shall be selected for the responsible
position Of lawmakers in the next
Legislature. Such men we have in
MeSsrs. Chambers and Ruth.
The Republican nominees are men
of quite different mold. Mr.. Collins
has until very lately been in the en-
plOy of one of the great corporations,
and Col. Eddy is now leading counsel
for one of the principal railroad COM
panies.
1t is is for the people to decide who
will best represent their interests.
The decision is already made, if we are
to form an opinion from the frequent
expressions OF opinion from the
masses. The expression at the polls
will not, this year, be under the control
of ward and precinct managers, and it
is but reasonable to expect that it will
be just as the current of opinion seems
to indicate.

BUCoDA.
A Progressive Town.
Our Candidates Well Received.

Messrs. Chambers. Ruth, kletcr,
Crosby, Simenson and Crosby, candi-
dates for Representatives, County At
tornev, Auditor, Treasurer and Clerk
OF the Court respectively, accompanied
by Hon. A. P. Fitch and NJ. Grayson,
arrived in Bucoda at } T. NJ. Monday
night, and spent several hours looking
over the town together with its manu-
featuring industries. Bucoia has
arose up like magic since the great
fire that destroyed its principal manu-
featuring institution, the plant OF the
Seatco Manufacturing Company, but
which has sprung up Ph~nix-like
form the heap of burning ruins and
ashes, until it now almost equals its
former self in magnitude. The ci,i-
zens OF this town anticipate municipal
incorporation as ,hird class city i'll
the near future.
Truly the citizens of Bucoda may
well be proud of their town, which
already is no small exponent Of
Thurston county as a manufacturing
and financial center. AS to the mag
nitude of their valuable coal mine, it
is only necessary to say that the
Northern Pacific Railroad is not nor
has been able to furnish cars for trans
portation equal to the demand made
upon them by the owners of the mine.
Our candidates and their friends were
received at their arrival by Mr.. Case,
and were royalty treated while there.
At the hour of p. NJ. the Bucoda
Brass Band filled the air witt: patri-
otto music, and after the rendition OF
several national airs, proceeded to the
spacious new hall where large and
enthusiastic audience were in waiting
to hear Democratic principles ex-
pounded and to become acquainted
with tie candidates for county Offices.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr.. Blumauer, an enterprising young
merchant and an active worker for
the party advocating true political
ideas. The speakers we're greeted by
the largest assemblage ever con-
gregated on political occasion dur
ing the history of the town, and were
frequently applauded by an interested
audience. Rousing speeches were
made by A. H. Chambers, who is
developing a remarkable supply of
oratorical ability. by A. P. Fitch, John
C. Kleber, and NJ. Grayson.
The vast audience, composed chiefly
of voters, with a goodly number of
ladies, were held spell-bound till 10 20,
when the band played Marching
Through Georgia." and all went to
their respective homes. Few towns
have rs many neat houses as Bucoda
has, and as many enterprising citizens.

For County Treasurer.

The Democratic nominee for county
treasurer, Mr.. o. K. SimcnSon, was
born in Norway in 1913, and is there
fore II years of age. He became
resident of Thurston county seven
years ago on the lst of the present
month, locating in Olympia and i'm
mediately going into the jewelry
business, which he has been constant
ly conducting ever since, having the
finest line peculiar to his business in
the city, and large and growing trade.
Before coming to Olympia, Mr..
Simenson was engaged in the same
business i'll the city of Clear Lake,
Iowa, and while resident there filled
the position OF City Clerk for several
terms.
He is man eminently fitted to fill
the important position of the county's
financier, and if elected will be true
and trusty county treasurer.
He has also, since his establishment
in Olympia, filled the important posi-
ton OF councilman on the town board
to the satisfaction of all concerned.
Mr.. Simenson is married, having a
wife and two small children, a boy and
a girl, to make his home pleasant.
He is heavy tax payer, having
many lots in this city, three dwelling
houses, and several eligible additions
to the city.
When public enterprise demands
private contribution he is one of the
first to give literally toward such pub
lie enterprise, and it is through just
such liberality that this city has made
such a wonderful stride in building oil
business blocks, dwelling houses,
hotels, railroads and internal improve.
ments of diverse nature.
While Mr.. Simenson has frequently
held public Offices, lie has never asked
for tine suffrages of Thurston county
as whole, but it is to the interest OF
all who are interested in the county's
welfare to see that he is elected to the
Office of county treasurer next Tues
day by goodly majority. Vote for
him.

IT is said that the candidates for
Representative Oh the Republican
ticket frequently grow "dizzy" from
the heights to which there vaulting am
bition has carried them: At Yelm they
both excused themselves, on this plea,
and ended their discourses without re-
leasing the spread eagle, in which Re-
publican orators take so much pride ;
and at Bucoda, it is said, similar
weakening possessed them after the
meeting closed, as we'll as of Mr.. Bill
ings, who has developed quite talent
as stump speaker. Let lis hope that
this. is not the forerunner of an eternal
smash-up of The Republican machine.
We don't want it irreparably ruined,
but just few cogs knocked out to
stop its momentum for while.

THE London correspondent of a
New York paper says that because Of
the Mckinley bill, Europe will take
no interest in the Worlds Fair at Chi
cago, and will be practically unrepre-
sented there. We cannot" says an
other New York paper, cas- nation
kick all other nations i'll the face
and then expect them to appear smil-
ing and complacent at our fairs"
Manufacturers and others send their
goods to these exhibitions for adver-
Using purposes; but there is little use
oft in country whose people are de-
termined not to buy, and who erect
barriers to keep out foreign goods.

The Mckinley Tariff act not only
makes it harder to live in the United
States, but more expensive to die. BY
the stipulations of the bill the prices
OF collins are to be advanced 20 per
cent, and the tax on marble and
granite being increased, the prices of
tombstones will correspondingly in
crease in conformity to its operations
and effects ON other commodities.

THERE should be no hesitancy as
to where the Y should be placed in
voting for County Attorney. Mr..
Aver, is genial companion and hon
est enough as the world goes, but his
best friends do not claim that he will
ever be able to set the Sound on fire.
He already holds the position of City
Attorney, and it taxes his energies
and capacity to the utmost, and with
results that are not always satisfac-
tory. Mr.. Kleber is man of excellent
ability, and able to devote the greater
portion of his time to the duties of the
Office. Place the X after his name.

CONTRAST the affable and gentle
manly department of Mr.. Simenson,
the Democratic candidate for Treasur-
er, with the churlish and rude DISPOSE
ton of "Vaneer" c. Mann, his Repub-
lican competitor, and you will have no
trouble, if your reason is not bound
by senseless party prejudice, in decid-
ing who will make the best officer.
The Olympia delegation in the Repub-
lican convention, were almost unit
against him, and their action was
based upon thorough knowledge of
his character.

The history OF the last Legislature

THE history of the last Legislature
shows very plainly the value of ex-
perience in the ways and means OF
law-making. Half dozen old MEN,
bers were the equal of ten times their
number OF men unused to Legislative
methods. Mr.. Ruth has had that ex-
perience, having served several terms
in the lower house and always with
marked credit to himself and the best
interests of his constituents.

A Lesson Of the Hour.

The strongest and most prolific
source of practical arguments on the
tariff question at the present time,
are the business circulars and news
per advertisements of all the leading
houses throughout the length and
breadth of the country. The pretend
ed intention of the friends of high
protective tariff is, that the duties Oh
imports are not paid by the consumers.
Does this pretention run in conformity
with good reason, and can they SUBJ
stantiate their allegation by uncon-
Trajectory arguments? We say no;
decidedly no. Let us see what has
already transpired that demonstrates
a contrary result to that claimed by
the tariff beneficiaries. The leading
dry goods house in the nations
metropolis, Strawbridge & Clothier,
have announced in their newspaper
advertisements and circulars that,
"The new tariff law which went into
effect October 9th, WW of course, result
in adrance Of prices on foreign goods of
almost all description" And it stands
to reason that if prices are raised on
these, the prices of like goods manu-
featured in this country will also be
raised, and this has already been done
universally. Do we need any stronger
arguments than those made by the
business men OF our country? There
are none stronger.
Turn to another striking and COM
pact tariff argument, found in the adj
vertisement Of another dealer in dry
goods and clothing of New York, that
of E. o. Thompson, which is, to-wit:
ave have now in stock this seasons
importations, and we offer them at
old tariff prices"
A demand for the goods the adj
vertiser bases on the following logical
reasoning: Old duty IS per cent. or
40 cents per pound new duty 60 per
cent. or 49t cents per pound; increase
25 per cent. or 8! cents per pound
Every one familiar with the subject OF
tariff knows that the old was a war
tariff, levied for the purpose OF raising
an enormous revenue then demanded
by our country, made necessary by a
bloody internal war.
The new is a war tariff eclipsing in
magnitude the old, as the brightest of
the sun eclipses that Of the moon, and
is tariff against THE PEOPLE. To him
who objects to prohibitory tariff this
is a convincing demonstration, es-
pecially to those who object to high
taxation and high prices. A word to
the wise is sufficient. A free people
will not always be imposed upon, and
the time has arriyed-yes it is upon us
when the telling blow will be struck
that will expose the sophistries OF our
high protective Republican friends,
and lead them to see the error OF their
ways. These are arguments that
strike neurological, self-demonstra-
tive, and unconnected with scheming
politicians seeking office-and are in
striking contrast to the sophistries
OF our Republican friends who are
standing candidates for anything with
in the gift of the people.

An Order from Headquarters.

A Washington dispatch of the 22d
inst states that since the passage of the
Mckinley bill, manufacturers circu-
lars notifying dealers of increased
prices, owing to the increased tariff,
have been widely circulated. This, it
states, had very depressing effect on
the Republican campaign, and at that
date Congressman Dorsey sent the fol-
lowing telegram to the Chairman of
the Republican National Committee,
NJ. S. Quay:
"BEAyER FALLS. Pa, Oct. 2l.-IIave manufac-
turers quote lower prices, and deny that the Nc
Kinley bill raises prices. If this is not done it
will cost thousands OF votes in Nebraska
(Signed), G. W. Z. DORSEY"
The telegram fell into the hands of
a Democrat who gave it out for publ
cation.
