business. While there Is some talk of
politics in Eastern Washington. little Is
being done in the way of organization.

quietly ascertaining the opinions held by
the leaders In the fusion movement on
this side of the mountains. Whenever Mr..
Jones wanted to accomplish anything. II
has not been his custom TO proclaim the
fact from the housetops For this reason
II may properly be supposed that political
subjects are not entirely tabooed by him
