Democracy can and will win in this state,
this fall, If IL is not saddled with any "Old
Man Of the Canal. Aberdeen Herald.
Every appropriation for the Lake Wash
ington canal scheme would mean Just that
much less for legitimate government im-
prOvements in the state of Washington
Aberdeen Herald.
The best nomination made at Olympia
was that of Mason Irwin TO be the superior
Judge of Chehalis and Mason counties.
Democrats, peoples party and republicans
can all give him hearty, enthusiastic sup
port.-Aberdeen Herald
There are very few teredos at present in
the doubtful states of New York and Indi-
ana. This fact, and not any suspicion that
Senator Allen was bidding for King county
support, probably influenced the senate to
drop the appropriation for the canal.-Cen-
tralia Chronicle.
King county ran the convention and
made the ticket and platform to suit itself;
in the latter the Lake Washington canal is
strongly endorsed. The ticketappears else
where and need not be mentioned here.
John III. McGraw, for governor, is very un-
popular and he will probably run far be-
hind his ticket.-Spanaway Sentinel.
To call Mr.. McGraw political boss is an
attempt to belittle and besmirch him. Mr..
McGraw possesses none Of the elements Of
a boss" He is an able and valiant gem
eral. He leads and commands because a
general of any army must lead and COM
mand.-Port Townsend Leader.
We do not know if It is the intention Of
our friends, the republicans, TO make this
campaign upon Mr.. McGraws personal
record There is apparently evidence that
It Is. We hope 1t is not. There are other
issues in the campaign which it would be
more edifying and more profitable to dis
cuss.-Seattle Telegraph.
The ticket as nominated by the republi-
can convention last week, and published
elsewhere in this paper, is one which the
party may conscientiously endorse from
top TO bottom. McGraw, The nominee for
governor, has been a leader in politics and
that is all his enemies can say against him.
A few Of the state papers, actuated by
local jealOusies and personal spites, are
splitting fire and YoWing vengeance but
their motives are too apparent to be eifec-
tiYe.-Wilbur Register.
The state ticket has been made TO the
evident satisfaction Of some who we're COLI
cerned in making it. Some good men
have been overlooked or ignored. We did
not help make the ticket and cannot be
blamed for its selection We publish the
full republican ticket, national, state and
county. II is before the people and il Is
for them TO say whether it shall be elected
or not. The president and vice president
we Dcltfb Will nave Walk oNbE LOT blelI
oiiices.-Ellensburgh Localizer.
There is no denying or doubling that the
fight will be desperate. A nomination on
the republican ticket Is not equivalent TO
an election in this year Of grace, when
thousands Of men are out Of employment
after the collapse of bOoms In a dozen large
cities and when the minds Of agricuturists
are made restless by depression of prices
from over-prodnction. The acts of few
dnhamnhnN nfIintuIo too add rournlino ffpmu
that, together with childish factiOnal
chickering's over the senatorship, make the
situation very embarrassing. These facts
stare us in the face and must be met. Their
existence calls for the guidance Of reason
instead Of the sway Of PASSIONS hot inn
pulse. DemagoRues will raise their hands
TO heghten discOntent and are pretty sure
Of winning good deal Of temporary sue
cess by such methods unless the intelli-
gence Of voters can be aroused TO the oriti-
cal necessities Of the emergency.
