q position to extend much aid or COM
fort to either side. no matter how their
sympathies may be enlisted. Our part
in the national campaign must be done
here at home; and to the voters of this
state the particular appeal is. how are
the interests Of the state OF Washing
ton involved in { right settlement of
the issues of the pending campaign:
and what is the proper policy for the
people of the state OF Washington to
adopt, If their own interests are to be
a guide TO their political action?
From one end of this state to the
other the interests of the people Of
Washington are bound up in the ex-
pansion of our commerce with the coun-
tries which face us on the other side Of
the Pacific ocean The future market
for the great bulk of the wheat raised
in this state is Asia. Already trade
is being built up there which has re-
suited in better price to the farmers
for their grain. and reduced the volume
Of sail tonnage necessary for carrying
wheat to the market which formerly
absorbed all Of the surplus Of the wash
ington faymers. at a price fxed in Liv-
erpool.
However other sections OF the Unit
ed States may regard the matter. the
people OF the state OF washington have
all their interests bound up in the pol
icies to which the Republican party IS
committed: trade expansion in Asia;
the retention Of all of our territories
there: and the upbuIlding OF American
shipping. Democratic ghost dancers
may hold up the bugaboos Of imperial
ism and militarism, but they cannot
brighten the people who realize that a
continuance of Republican policies
means the upbuilding Of their section
and an increase In the wealth which
will flow into the cities in which they
reside. Knowing this. the Democratic
leaders will confine their energies large
ly to attempting to work on the people
who. living in the interior Of the coun-
try, may not SO readily realize that
they. too. have a personal interest In
the increase Of American commerce.
