Allen. If elected, therefore. Cor full
term Of six years, he will be able to accom-
plish all that any man can accomplish for
the good of the state.
The counties Of Snohomish, Skagit and
Whatcom all need liberal Apr opriations
for the improvement of their rivers and
harbors. The cities of Spokane, Tacoma
and Seattle need liberal appropriations for
public buildings. The Columbia river
counties need liberal appropriations to
complete the opening of the Columbia
river. In short every county in this
young state needs assistance and relief in
one form or another at the hands of the
general government. All of these things
Senator Allen can and will help them to
obtain. His past experience in the senate.
his wide acquaintance and his high stand
ing will enable him to accomplish much
that any new man. whatever his ability,
could not do. Patriotism and q regard for
the material interests of the state Of Wash
ington should therefore impel every Re-
publican in the legislature to sink per-
sonsl differences and unite in his support.
Senator Allen is the candidate of no To-
cality and Of no faction. He is the candi-
date Of the people. He is big enough and
broad enough, if elected, to represent
every county in the state. and to represent
them ably and impartialIy. If Senator
Allen il appointed and not elected. he will
be handicapped at the start. He will be
compelled to 60 to the senate and ask for
what he should have the right to demand.
He will not, moreover, be able to apply
himself with the same promise of success
to the great questions that will arise If he
is appointed for two years and not elected
for the full term Of six.
It is certainly not necessary to dwell
upon the partisan aspect Of this crisis.
Every Republican, If he is honest, will
admit that the party to which he belongs
and owes allegiance will be immeasurabiy
stronger if Senator Allen 10 elected.
Every Republican must admit that he 10
entitled to an election by all tho laws of
party usage. Why, then. should he not
be elected? It certainly seems that there
must be among the Republican minority
enough men who have the interests of
their state and their party at heart to do
what they must now admit to DO their
duty.
Every member of the minority who now
changes to Senator Allen will have rem.
dered a direct service to his constituents
that they will not fail to appreciate and
reward.

Tha senate committee on railroads has
fnsiN reported the Anderson bill. They
recoE.Amended its passage with an amend
mems to change the proposed reduction
frors Is per cent. to Is per cent, and to ex-
ciude hay and potatoes from the opera
ton Of the bill. The proposed amend
mer.: would raise the maximum rate from
Aat per ton to s4.s4a<
These amendments should not be made.
In xhe first place the report Of the COM
miNee has been delayed to such an extent
ths$ there il not time for the house to
properly consider the amendments in case
th9y should be adopted by the senate. In
thS second place the bill as it passed tho
hoaise is entirely reasonable in its pro-
sixons and will not work hardship upon
ths railroads. If the senate 10 representing
th: people and not the railroads it will
refuse to adopt the amendments proposed
Al, will pass the bill in its original form.
lf?his is not done there is no probability
of :he bill becoming law in any form and

ezra session.. The members of the senate
wAo are in sympathy with the people have
aS opportunity to make their influence
felt at this time.

CORRUPT PRACTICES LEGlsLArIo,

ing corrupt practices bill, and the Spring

like to become law. In support of this
bill the Republican says:
The conscience OF the state has evidently been
aroused BY the overwhelming accumulative
evidence Of the appalling extent to which
corruption has been carried in Connections
politics. The corruption undoubtedly reached
its elimination in 1855, but there will be little
advance toward . purer franchise until the
state has good secret ballot and corrupt prac.
tees laws. With the experience of Massachu-
sets. New York and other states to study
Connecticut ought to produces the best examples
OF this sort Of legislation In the country. No

OF these political sores and cut them out, yet by
