A party of the Democratic candi-
dates, with W. FL Knee1and and S. P.
Richardson, visited Camp Wednesday
afternoon and in the evening the
engine took up another load and re-
turned all after the speaking. w. H.
kneeland was the first speaker and
devoted himself to the state issues, but
talked against the singletax-Col.
Richardson spent most of his time
in speaking for the Democratic
candidate for Representative, and
making more or less favorable COM
parsons with Mr. Gunderson-A1l
the Republican candidates were treated
in the same manner, but we think they
can stand that sort of argument"
from Col Richardson. We imagine
that the camp men are as we'll ac-
quainted with Messrs Richardson and
Kneeland, as they are with our candi-
dates, and probably most of them feel
that what is good for the speakers
might not be good for the loggers.
We understand that an attempt was
also made to explain the N. P. tax
at the meeting. The loggers are inter-
ested in public matters and issues now
as we'll as any time. Everything is in
good shape for them, and they are
prosperous now, but the boys who
went to Klondike may come back and
new people may come 10 this
country, so that men will not be in
such demand at good wages as they
are now, and local conditions may
change. They have interests to be
protected as we'll as every other class
of citizens Politicians as well as
loggers have taxes to grind' some
times.
More new millinery, trim mings, ETC., ,

Farmer" Todd is now stumping in
Eastern Washington and claims to be
making hosts of converts by talking
Capitalization Of power" and charg-
ing the Republicans with all sorts of
crimes. When the Farmer reaches
Shelton where he will speak the night
before election he will probably not
talk "centralization'' if lie is speaking
for the Democrats, and if he stays with
his friends, the Popul1sts, he would
give the Democrats deserved scoring
but he won't.
