POLITICAL IDEAS.
More Extracts From the Press Of
The State.

What is Said of Both Parties From
Journalistic stand Point
What is Thought OF the CandI-
dates In the Coming Campaign.
While Lewis county does not endorse
the clatter of certain newspapers who de-
nounce everything that comes from King
county, good or bad, we have never heard
any Lewis county man not professional
politician, and presumably willing to give
any amount of public money for a few
political friends, speak in favor of the
Lake Washington canal. There is no
feeling against Seattle, but an impression
that the large sums needed to complete it
will reduce for many years the appropria-
tions for objects of far more value to the
state as a whole.-Centralia Chronicle.

had a better crowd of "hustlers" i'm tbe re-
publican state convention of WASHINGTON
than 1t has in the democratic Convention
now in session at Olympia. 1t would seem
pretty clear that a scheme which one party

considerable portion of the other party
distinctly rejects, was not going to have an
easy road to travel. -Oregonian.

The South Bend Journal SAYS of the
money plank in the republican platform
II is either for free coinage or is meaning
less. IL cannot mean free coinage for tile
reason that silver has never vet been de-
moneuzed by the United States and iti
now on parity with gold. If it were for

opening sentence in the platform i'm which
realty to the national republican platform
Is declared, and which latter declares its
strong opposition to free coinage. 1t must
therefore be meaningless. And it is not
only meaningless, but also ridiculous. 1t

The democrats can win the fight so far
as the state ticket is concerned if thew will
make no entangling alliances with Lake
Washington canal schemes as did the re-
publicans. There are too many patriotic
republicans in this state that will vote
against even their own party nominees
