In doubt
Rebuke to Corrupt Legislators.
The new legislature can well afford to
take lesson from the last fusion legis-
lature and see how surely defeat follows
corrupt practices and failure to carry out
the pledges Of a party TO its people The
boodling proclivities Of the last legislature
were notorious. and the result was a gen.
eral landslide and the return of the Re-
pub!icans 10 power. It is interesting to
note that not much over half dozen mem-
bers Of the fusion party have been return
ed to the legislature, and in this connection.
as showing the direct effect upon the people
Of opposition TO the fusion record OF brib-
cry and fraud, the increased majorities of
the members Of the legislature over the
majorities OF congressman are worthy Of
attention.
Eastern Washinatou Redeemed.
In the Eastern Washington districts the
charge was remarkable In the Sixth dis
trict fusion majority OF about 1000 was
changed TO a Republican majority of 2os; In
the Seventh district fusion majority Of
about 45o was overcome and 200 majority
given the Republican candidates for the
legislature. Both of these districts are IN
Whitman county. and only one Populist
was elected out of six members of the legis-
lature. Ia kittitas county the representa-
tive ticket overcame Bryan majority Of
l4s and won out by 2i5 votes In Yakima
Engelhart oyercame majority OF 2,1 and
placed 262 10 his credit In little Asotin a
majority of forty was overcome and ma
jority of IS given.
Gains West of the Mountains.
The story is about the same on the
west side. The Chehalis county representa-
tive overcome a majority of IS. and won
by $50 votes. Tacoma elects IL out of II
Republican members OF the legislature;
King comes forward with Ii Republicans
out Of 10 members; little Wahkiakum over
came fusion majority OF Sc and gave her
Republican legislative candidate at least
loo majority. Lewis county shows her
strength by giving her legislative candidate
se5 Republican majority. while she only
gave 800 to the congressional candidates.
Clarke shows faith in a Republican legis-
la;uTe by rolling up Republican majority
OF Al. evidently drawing from the Pops.
for the Republican congressional ticket was
given only $50 majority. 1t was a glorious
victory.
