ISN'T it about time that some of
these political parasites were choked
off from the control of Mason county,
and given IN opportunity to rustic for
| themselves.
| A POPUMsT candidate in ThurstOn
county takes offense at John Miller
Murphy, and says that "no Populist
should be deceived by the kissing of
| that vile old reptile" He afterwards
repented the use of that choice express
sion, and probably some of our local
candidates might find a use for it.
We wouldn't suggest wasting it on the
"stool-pigeon," but it might fit the
physical mistake who signs himself
republican,"
WE think that "First Grade Appli-
cant" in the Tribune, need not be in
the least alarmed as to Gunderson's
ability to pass upon or grant first
oNC NCl tiHSdlt', llt iittS kbttSSCO ga
animation in Algebra, Natural Phil
osophy, Literature and others not
taught here. He passed in the former
two branches in 1879 and since then
passing in them as many as ten differ
ent times, ending with 1892 when he
passed in all of them. If further evil
dence is necessary we invite First
Grade Applicant to visit the schools
in Shelton where he has classes in AL
zebra, Philosophy, Literature, Word
Analysis, Book Keeping, etc, to see
for himself
WILL the conscientious Democrats
of Mason County swallow the rings
iDsolent nominations, and will they
countenance the disgraceiul methods
being used by candidates and the ring
crowd? These methods might 60 in
some southern sections of the country,
but their practice does not speak
much for the civilization of the peo-
lple, and it throws upon the whole
the stigma of brutality and depravity.
MANY of the lumberman are taking
advantage of the free whiskey being
dispensed by the ring crowd. They
say they haven't had any "good old
times" since the wages were cut,
board was deducted, and the work
became unsteady, and that it is an op-
portunity to get even on "Sol and
Lockie"-On the latter for having
poured their hard earned wages over
his bar for eight or ten years. We
believe the majority of the lumber
men have too much self-respect to
allow such work to influence their
better judgment.
"Ta Ta," the bum-ling's alleged
political correspondent from Kamil-
che, is hustler. He manages to
notice what this paper says in about
twelve hours, although he has to start
his letter week in advance Every
body knows that all that goes through
the gangs smut-mill is manufactured
right in town, and the "press commit
tee" conducts its Censorship" sessions
in the Banks "sweat box" The "Dear
Duck" epistle is evidently of the same
stripe, as we'll as that of the applicant
who failed to get first grade certif-
cate" Our readers should bear in
mind that all the old political
schemers in this county [ex-republi-
can as well as democrat are pulling
the wires for the so-called democrat
ticket, and, if anyone thinks some of
these fellows are novices in political
skpllduggery, he is simple enough to
be ripe for the bunco man.
THE Republicans of Kamilchie
Should vote the straight Republican
ticket, this year, and especially for
their nominee for County Commits
sioner. Heretofore they have always
had their commissioner from the val
ley, and it is right that Hartstein and
that end of the district should be rep
resented once. Hartstein and Arcadia
have always come manfully to the
support of their nominees. They
should reciprocate, and then they can
always count on the support of the Is
land people. Mr.. Roberts is good
man, of large business experience, a
fair man, careful and conservative, a
Union Veteran, and all their interests
will receive careful attention. The
Democratic nominee, though person
ally "good fellow" is not tax-pay-
er, and has no direct interest in the
county, and would be the representa-
tive of Sol. Simpson and the Blakelv
company. The corporations are al
ways wanting something that the peo-
pie don't want, and which mean mon
ey from the county. On the other
hand vote for the populist nominee
is practically vote for Cameron, be-
cause if you are opposed to corpora
tions, it weakens Roberts Just 20
much. Vote for Roberts.
