The fishermen of Mason County,
who have their money invested in nets
and boats, and the ranchers along the
shores OF its waters who are earning
some cash from the same industry,
should bear In mind that the trap men
are going to make hard fight to get
further concessions and are working
to elect men friendly to the trap in
terests. The Republican county plat
form stands for the protection of the
seine fishermen, and the establishment
of fish hatcheries i'll Mason County to
increase the supply of salmon, which
is fast growing smaller each year, and
will soon cease to offer a livelihood
unless that industry is protected. Mr..
Gunderson has been acquainted with
these conditions for several years past,
IS well posted on the subject and knows
what is best for the interests of our
people. He is on the side OF the peo-
pie, and they will make mistake if
they do not make sure of friend in
the next Legislature, something they
did not have in the last one..
HE Republicans of Mason County
never before placed before the voters
such a ticket of representative and
qualified men, as they have this time.
Every man who is elected will be able
TO perform the duties of his office him
self and do it well, and at the end of
their term the people will not be able
to say that they have neglected their
work or forgotten the interests OF the
Taxpayers. In local affairs capable
and honest men in office mean dollars
saved to those who provide the sinews
of government.
The Republican state Committee
estimates that the state will 60 Be
publican by about 1000. The fusion
committee claims it by $4,000, more
than two years ago. Bear in mind
that there will be material falling eff
in the total vote, consider the change
of sentiment around you, and imagine
how much judgment the latter claim
possesses.

Another Campaign Lie Nailed.

The following from the Tribune in
the attempt to hoodwink Populists
and Silver Republicans, in other sect
ions of the county into the belief that
all differences had been settled in fav-
or of the local tiger, doesn't jibe with
the address in another column signed
by dozen of the leading populists of
Mason County, stating that they
would vote the Republican county
ticket straight and advising all to do
likewise, and giving their reasons
"Whatever local differences may have
existed betweed the Democrats and
Populists and the Free Silver Republi-
cans have long since been healed, and
none of the three parties will allow the
Republicans to beguile them into
that the views OF rank outsider can
or will prevail. We may have our lit
tie differences-al in the family-but
let the common enemy attack and he
finds united interest and rot a di-
vided household"

Lewis Opinion Of Pops.

CHEHALIs, Oct. 31.-Congressman
James Hamilton Lewis was in Cheha-
lis over Sunday. While here he took
an active interest in the matter of the
protest against the single tax plank in
the fusion platform, which dozen
prominent Democrats here recently
signed and which was published in the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer. He hunted
up several of the signers and talked
with them. Among others was ex-
Senator Francis Donahoe. This gen.
tleman he reproached bitterly for what
he claimed was an act of treaohe1y to
the Democratic party.
"The Republican party is the en-
envy of the reform forces" says the
Tribune. The local populists have
used microscope in vain attemp to
find some reform" tendencies in the
Democratic party and gave it up. It's
the same old crowd, and they will
fight 'em to a finish. See their proc
lamation.
Senator Donahoe replied that he
had as good right to his opinion on
public matters as any other man. He
denied that the colonel had any right
to reproach him as a Democrat. He
said he had not abandoned any of the
principles in which he had believed as
a Democrat all his lite, and that the
colonel had abandoned those princi-
Piles.
Mr.. Lewis replied substantially as
follows: That he knew the weakness
of his position from that standpoint,
that as a matter of fact, while it
is necessary for him as a candidate to
subcribe to the Peoples Party platform,
he is wholly opposed to many of it's
cranky ideas. "In two or three years.
he said, eve will re-organ1ze the DEM
ocratic party in this state, and in do
ing so we will rid our selves of 5000 or
5000 of this wild-eyed rabble. which
calls itself Populist, but is really COM
posed of socialists and anarchists"
Similar sentiments are attributed to
the colonel by one or two other gentle
men who heard him talk while here.
Some of his friends who have heard
of his bad break profess to be amazed
at his recklessness in talking of Popu-
list whose votes he expects to get at
next Tuesdays election.

LEWIS and Richardson are

LEWIS and Richardson are running
the same sort OF campaign, one of
misrepresentation, in which facts don't
cut much of figure. It remains to
be seen whether the people of Mason
County like that sort of business.
1T now developes that the state lost
$4,000 in the Union Savings Bank
Tacoma, which "busted" June, 49,,
1897, but the state treasurer is still
carrying it on his cash account. The
matter leaked out last week, for the
first time. The state has $48OOOO in
the favored banks of the state instead
OF paying outstanding warrants.
In contradiction to Lewis state
ments, the war department says no
beef was even condemned at Newport,
and Lewis never had authority to con-
denim anything, having no rank on
either regular or volunteer service.
lie secured uniform, with the letters
IN. Z. W." and simply accompanied
Col. Grant as civilian. The whole
thing was one of Lewis spectacular
effects, paraded before our people. A
moments thought would convince any,
one that in army service criticism of
q superior officer calls for immediate
proof before court-marshal, and dis
missal, what happened to Chaplain
Mcintyre, OF the Oregon. Another
Lewis lie nailed.
The taxpayers should not forget
that they will make grave mistake if
they do not elect two Republican
County Commissioners. Both the
Populist candidates realize this and
have withdrawn their names and added
their strength to the Republican can
didates. Thos. O'Neill is good man
and we don't propose to say anything
against Comr. Latham and his "pood
record" the Tribune tells about, but the
management of county affairs can only
be changed by the election Of Tom
Daniels and August Werman. both Of

That Property Question.

nut IIOpcIy 4ucctIVus
The Democrats are mighty hard up
for campaign material it seems, Judg-
ing from the sort of yarns they are
using against the Republican candi-
dates, and especially Mr.. Gunderson.
The worst they are able to say about
him is that he "could pack up his be-
lodgings in grip and aeye on" So
could Col. Richardson and some OF the
J Democratic candidates, notably Mr..
! Covill. When Republicans urged the
pmperty qualification against Mr..
Hicks two years ago, they said 1T
didn't count. Even if he had no prop
erty in Mason County Mr.. Gunderson
is good citizen, and safe man to
entrust with the public interest,", but
as it is he has both real estate and
$3.50 personal property assessed here.
1t is true he has property in Iowa, now
paid for, and bringing an annual rental
OF 500. which is now available to in
vest in Mason County. Some of the
people of this vicinity who have been
in straits can tell where some of Mr..
Gunderson's salary went to, and it did
not go to Iowa.
Col Richardson, (title acquired by
birth and not in the trenches at New
port like the illustrious Lewis,) tells
that "Gunderson has an unimproved
lot in Shelton, given him by Angle for
ST. and love and affection" The truth
is this, and Richardson knows it, al
though it does not suit his purposes to
tell the truth:
Last year Mr.. Gunderson, having
some spare time outside of his duties
as school superintendent, and not be-
ing so constituted as to be idle very
long, desired to enter this Office and
learn to be a composition for the bene-
fit of the experience. For his labor in
part, after becoming proficient enough
to be of some value, and for the bal
ance in cash, Mr.. Gunderson became
the owner OF property, of which the
following is the record:

tains two small buildings.
The grantor above bought lot s, just
as it stands, about eight years ago for
$3.50, spot cash. Lot is tax title,
which cost about $40 and all taxes are
paid to date. The trade was entirely
legitimate, made under an agreement
nearly year old, and the price, under
the circumstance, was fair one, The
editor has no personal interest in Mr..
Gunderson which would induce pres
ent Of this value, but esteems him for
his worth and many good qualities.
and the people of Mason County will
regret their mistake if they do not
send him to the legislature. Mr.. Gun
derson, although having valuable
farm back East, has made his home in
Mason County for the past ten years,
with nothing but small wages or sal
aries to hold him, and he is as much
OF permanent citizen as any of us.
No one has any strings on Gunderson,
and nothing but very small and
peurile things have been urged against
him.

THIS per capita circulation business
is a sort of misnomer. II is not sur
prising that the people during the last
democratic administration thought
there was something wrong with ou1
financial system. Some of them had
not seen dollar for months, and yet
statistics showed that there was per
capita circulation of about $23. And
no wonder they wanted greater cir
culating medium. The difficulty was
that while this amount approximately
was in the hands of some of the people,
including the banks, it was not in cir
culation. It is getting into circula-
ton now, however, under protective
tariff.-Olympian.
WITH this issue we can do or say no
more tor our candidates. We have
tried to state conditions clearly and
fairly, so that the voters can be on
guard. We are on the right and safe
side, and we hope, the side of public
opinion. Next Tuesday will de-
termine whether the tax payers, are
alive to their interests, or whether the
majority are party men regardless.

type of the missionary spirit which pre-
vailed in the early part of the Christian
era. and its endeavor Is to perform ag-
gressive, yet reverent work toward a
spreading of the kingdom of God. 1t is a
protest against the idea that Christian
life is.a life of ease. A Christian life is a
life of blessed privileges yet it stands for
conflict, struggle and sacrifice. THE
Brotherhood aims to enforce the belief
upon it's members that they are their
brothers keeper. 1t is body guard for
the clergy.
Rev. Mr.. Atkinson dwelt more upon
what the Brotherhood should be. Its
work is the kind of work that every
Christian ought to be doing Christians
should SO spread the spirit Of love that
every man will love his neighbor. He
ridiculed the statement sometimes made
by Elen of the world, that business man
cannot be strictly honest and succeed.

falsity of such claim. The brotherhood
