Il il regrettable that Senator Turner Is
not a candidate for office during this cam
paign. II he were, he would ascertain with
certainty exactly what the people OF the
loyal state OF Washington think Of the
spectacle Of a senator Of the United States
IN his public addresses seeking to dis
credit and belIttie an administration that
has conducted the nation safely and brill
ianty through a glorious war exerting all
his undoubted powers 10 din, the spendor
of that magnificent achievement. and,
worse than ali. doing his utmost to handi-
cap ii in It's purpose 10 realize in fullest
measure all the rich fruits Of its righteous
victory.
Senator Turner has confined himself for
the most part to generaiities. lie has
quarreled vita the administration over its
policies, or wha, he says are its policies.
Congressman Lewis has been specific He
has made definite charges OF corruption.

criminal carelessness, ard has cited times.

able 10 support all his allegations. and has
challenged proof to the contrary. It has
been produced, and he viii be obliged 10
suffer the consequences.
Senator Turner, being man or dignity
and seif-respect, has not been willing or
able to so to the extreme adopted by Con-
gresham Lewis in his enleavo- to make
capital for his party. In repeating stale
and fully exploded SANDERS about ine pres-
dents motives and purposes. he is distinct
~ embarrassed. ineffective and unconvinc-
ing.
1t is obvious that his chief object in join
ing in the general populist assault on Pres
ident Mckinley is, as far possible. TO
divert popular resentment and Indignation
from Congressman Lewis. The senator is
qu.xotlc. The public Is not concerning it
self greatly about what be says in this
campaign, for the sufficient reason that its
wrath against him could not be expressed
in concrete form al the polls. lie might
as well 20 back to Spokane and give Il up
as bad job. This is Lewis fight. and.
happily for him. Il is not his.

That there can be no question

James G. Mcguire, from whom we
have quoted. Is now a candidate FOR

single taxer Not daring TO present
the issue clearly 70 the people, the
platform on which he Is running has
a plank demanding a constitutional
amendment, giving To counties the
power to change their system Of tax

ow1 fancy.
Precisely as in this state. the single
takers Of California are working TO
get in the thin end Of the wedge. Mr.
Mcguire insists in his speeches that
the single tax is not an issue at this
time, and that the constitutional
amendment that Ia sought viii leave
the matter open. At the same time
Mr. Mcguire Is using his congressional
frank TO mail tons OF printed matter
prepared by him advocating the single
tax.
And Mr.. Lewis, the congressman
from Washington. has also shown his
sympathy with the movement. and has
done good service for single tax.

How have fusionstS redeemed their
pledges? Mindful of the many promises
they had made, they were early in the
fed with campaign literature showing
great reductions in state and county in
debtedness, and claiming great reform and
economy In the management OF affairs.
This was pleasant news for the taxpayers
and the fusion organs were compelled to
resort to poster type In order 10 give fit-
ting vent 10 their enthusiasm. The fusion
oftce-holders had a real merry time con-
graduating each other upon the great hon
esty which they had displayed and the
wonderful showing they had made in pay
ing public debts. The state officials show
ed how much they had reduced the state
debt. and county officials. taking their cue
from them. showed how much the debts
OF the several counties had been cut down
by the fusionists.

Two years ago the fusIonists told the
people that the Republican party could not
be trusted: that free coinage of silver must
be adopted or the country would continue
to so 10 the dogs faster than It had under
Cieyeiands administration. They assured
the people that they were reformers. and
il trusted with the administration OF pub
lie affairs. all wrongs would BE righted and
the political millennium al once be ushered
in. They accused the Republican party
Of all manner Of crimes, alleged that II was
the party Of the plutocrats and bondhoid-
ers; that the state and county treasurers
had been and were then keeping the peo-
pies money in banks and were sharing
the profits with the banks. All these things
were to be changed If the people would
but support the fusion ticket and give
them charge Of affairs. Deceived by these
gathering promises the people cast their
ballots for tGeul. and the fusion party
found Itself IN control not only of the state
government. but nearly every county in
the state as well.
