Auburn Argus: "Thanks, Bro.
Cayton, for your sympathy. But
we'll sympathize with you after
the convention is over. Wooding
will win, you know" And, if he
is, it will be neither the worse nor
the better for us. We lived under
the Meyer administration and we
can live under a Wooding admin
istration should such thing ever
be reality.
Auburn Argus: "Bro. Cayton
need not waste any sympathy
upon us. 1t is plainly evident
whose collar Bro. CaytOn wears. .
So many politicians have had their
collars about "Bro. Cayton's"
neck that you are justified, be-
yond measure, in making the above
allegation. Should we have worn
more collars Of politicians, per-
haps, we would not now be wear
ing debts collar for the necessities
OF life. Newspaper men who have
the happy faculty of making all
OF the politicians "dig up" seem
to be the "real thing and are
always able to eiti.er wear dia-
monds or roll in sumptuous living,

stormy says last Saturdays Sc
attic Review. on which day the

"No man should be nominated
for vice-president who would not
make a president" thinks the
Centralia Chronicle, and which is
about correct, but most any man
that has been spoken off in con-
nection with the vice presidency
would make about as good a
president as the other fellow, so If
that be the only requisite shut
your eyes and choose one.
From the Chehalis Examiner it
is learned that the Gray's Harbor
Ministerial Association is oppos-
ing the running of trains on the
branch road entering that section
on Sundays. Since trains are
being promiscuously run all over
the United States in general and
the state of Washington in particu-
lar on Sundays the kick of the
ministers on running trains on
that road does not seem we'll
founded. Let Sunday train run
ming be stopped all over the state
and then stop it on the branch
road is the thing that the ministers
should try to do, that is, if they
desire to oppose anything of that
nature.

saloon man were recently arrested
