socialist candidate for president, has
also written an elaborate letter of ac-
ceptance.
TACOMA papers are referring to Sc

contracted to "Jimtown" when things
warm up a bit.
JUST what was expected, the cut
worm has been charged up to Mark
Hanna account, along with other
national calamities.
TOWNE has Withdrawn from the
populist national ticket, according to
program, and this leaves those voters
who consider themselves populists and
silver republicans nothing to do but
vote for straight democrats. Demo-
Gratis have no use for the old allies ex-
cept for votes.
In several parts Of the state con-

affairs We refer to the Wilson--An-

be put in cold storage for at least two
years. The republican party of this

w. r. MARION, the local manager OF
the Morgan Oyster Co., desires the
South Bend Journal to state that he
is opposed to the sale of the natural
oyster beds to private parties, the re-

ty of the oystermen oppose any such
sale and it would be political suicide
for any representative to the legisla-

The contest in King County be-
tween Frlnk and Humes, said to repre-
sent the Wilson ana Ankeny elements
respectively, resulted in victory for
the former IN securing the endorse
ment of that County for governor.
However the chances, of J. OBJ. SEQ

has the old southwest combination
behind HIM, together with the support
In other parts of the state. Both
Frlnk and Scobey are ideal candidates,
clean and good men of ability, and the
rank and file of thesrepublicans of the
state will not be called upon to apollo
glze in the event either one is selected.
Let the rest of the state ticket be as
good and it is a sure winner.
The Republican county convention,
which meets in Shelton tomorrow. has
In its hands the selection of the future
officers for Mason County, provided
that no mistakes are made. For the
first time in years the conditions are
very favorable locally and it only re-
mains for the republicans TO put for
ward their best men. Those republi
cans now holding Office by virtue of
the sutfrages OF the people of this
county, from Representative Gunder-
son down the line, have all made good
records and are entitled to re. nomina
ton, and we believe they will receive
this consideration. For the remain
ing positions one or more names have
been mentioned for each, but as none
have publicly announced themselves
and delegates from other parts of the
county may have some names to suc-
gest, we leave all in equality. Select
only clean men, who have the respect
and confidence of their neighbors. and
who VIII command their vote when the
DAY vi election comes, men who are
competent to properly discharge the
duties that may fall upon them, and
who are consistent republicans. Let
us profit by any past mistakes by not
repeating them. The Republicans of
Mason County are united and are fort
innate IN having no factional fights to
settle, hence it is safe to predict that
the ticket selected tomorrow will be
elected IN its entirety, because it will
command all republican votes, and at
tract more or less support from other
parties.
