The Election

The returns show the county has
gone for prohibition by twenty
majority This is very close vote ano
shows that our people are very nearly
equally divided on this question q
open saloons and the present manner
Of handling the whisky traffic, Had
the calm Judgment Of our people been
free to act along right lines without
the instrusion of aliens ana the adj
mixture of religious fervor, conjoined
as we regret to say with the introd uc'
tion of some ladies into this political Is
sue-he state of affairs under which
our county and town have existed and
prospered since their foundation would
have continued. The obtrusion OF this
question in our heretofore harmonious,
homogeneous community has produced
an unnecessary state of bad feeling and
bad effects that time alone can efface.
TO the mass of people,i in our county
who were engaged in the prohibition
cause we accord the best intentions,
however much we may believe selfish
interests and ambition were the en-
spring incentives of its alien instiga.

arrayed equally as coarcientious men,
upon whom the issue was thrust and
who labored not only for their honest
convictions but to repel invasion and
disturbance of the peace and quiet of
our community and the right of our
people of home rule 1.-The die is Cast
aad it behooves us now to all accept the
inevitabl gracefully and indulge nc
personal rancor nor work no personal
revenge on account of any ones posi-

ways that will further their euds ia

in this country is the Farmers Mutual
Benefit Association, which has $1,000
members in the state OF Indiana alone.
In letter received by the Cincinnati
Enquirer from ". II. Boyle, first assist.
ant secretary Of the Indiana branch Of
the great order, he gives over his own
signature some startling facts as to the
attitude OF .he voters on the silver oues-
ton. He saws:
Il am certain FROM the outlook that
Bryan and free silver will carry Indiana
by from 10000 to $1,000 majority, and it
would not surprise us to see it 90 to
100000. Out Of 80, 900 farmers belonging
to our society, find that they stand as
follows: Republicans, 1881; Demo-
Gratis, 2),3ls; Populi=ts, 2,l0O; Prohibi.
tionists, 81. On the money question they
stand as follows: For silver, Republi.
cans, 1908: Democrats, 1877; Popu.
lists, 2,l00; Prohibitionists, 81 For gold,
Republicans, 42S; Democrats, Sal Pop.

Mr.. Boyle expresses the belief that
many Of those now for gold will De won

remarkable statement yet made in regard
to the silver strength, but is vouched for

Of the mineral wealth Of our nation.
Now that the rebellion is overthrown,
and we know pretty nearly the amount
Of our national debt, the more gold and
silver we mine makes the payment OF
that debt so much the easier. Now am
going to encourage that in every possible
way. We shall have hundreds of thou
sands of disba,.ded soldiers, and many
have feared that their return home in
such great numbers might paralyzc in

supply Of labor than there will be de-

many years doctors pronounced it local

The following address issued by the
Democratic state convention should be
read and needed by everyone interested
in the election Of William Jennings Bryan
and in the success OF the reform move.
ment in this state
To- the Democratic party OF the State OF
Washington.
Greeting The regularly elected repre-
sentatives OF the Democratic party OF tue
state OF Washington, in convention as
sembled at the city Of Ellensburg, in the
interest OF reform, have effected union
with what are known and designated as
the Peoples Party and the Free Silver
Republican Party, and have placed a
ticket in the field worthy OF the support
OF all the people regardless OF past party
affiliations, and to which every Democrat
should give his enthusiastic and unquali.
fled support to the end that the principles
Of the Chicago platform OF 1896 shall be
carried cut and the election OF that cham
pi0n OF the people. William Jennings
Bryan, for president, assured.
BY that UNANIMOUSLY partisan legislation
OF the Republican party law has been
placed upon the statute books OF the state
whereby union OF the reform forces is
prevented and their amalgamation and
consolidation thwarted by allowing only
recognized" political parties to place
ticket in the field; thereby preventing
combination OF the names in one ticket
and compelling the reform forces OF the
state to chose, ii they would act with
safety, one OF the names Of the recognized
political parties for the name OF the ticket
to be certified to the secretary OF the state.
Believing that the election OF the national
ticket is oil supreme importance and the
principles involved Of more moment than
anything else, we have been compelled
as patriotic citizens to be liberal and have
therefore consented that this ticket shall
be known and designated upon the official
ballot as the ''Peoples Party" ticket.
The statute law OF this state makes this
step necessary, and for the sake OF union
with the reform elements Of this state we
make this concession. With William
Jennings Bryan for president, and Arthur
Sewall for vice-president, as our national
standard bearers, and with that cham
pion OF the people and foe OF corporate
greed James Hamilton Lewis for con.
gress; with that incorruptible jurist John
3. Reavis foi Judge OF the supreme court;
with that native son Of Washington Gwin
Hicks for public printer, and with those
sterling Dem ocrats 7. n. Cation and l. n.
Maxwell for electors, together with the
great principles involved in their election,
we call upon every Democrat to rally to
the support OF the entire union ticket and
insure its triumphant election; and we
pledge you that the UNANIMOUSLY partisan
features OF the election law producing this
confusion shall be repealed.
BY order Of Democratic State Convention.
