The pOpulist candidate for governor
of Texas has withdra wn from the ticket

denounces the democratic party for it's
inconsistency. At Bryan's statement
that the republican party will destroy

is particularly scathing, saying the dem
ocrats are the only organized party that
ever deliberately shot to death the Amer

by millions; that enslaved it's free born.

Governor Roosevelt closed his speech
at Aberdeen, South Dakota, with these
truths: The American who tries to in
cite one man against another, whether
he be westerner or Fastener, whether
he be a wageworker or capitalist, or
whatever form it takes, the man that
does that is doing a thing that is calcu-
lated to infict an irreparable wrong on
the country. We need not the gospel of
the knave in our affairs, but we need the
gospel of brotherhood and honesty.
We need honesty to protect the RICH is
OF every man, and we shall endeavor to
wrong no man. In 1892, when the
WagewOrkers set out to down the CAPT
talist, he did down him. They got him
down, but they were under him when he
was down. Now this year we want YOU
to Judge our future by our past. You
have had four years of the presidency of
Mckinley and you are going to have
four years more"

The Capital is the oldest populist
paper in the state and it did not spring
into existence to live Off from party pelf
but left good support in the repubIi
can ranks in 1891 to labor in behalf OF
the common people for purer politics
and the rights of the people. In 1892
protesting against ring rule in the affair
OF the state, it assisted in organizing
the peoples party in ThurstOn county
and had the satisfaction Of seeing GIL
votes polled for c. W. Young, the peo-
pies party candidate for governor in
that year. For more than eight years
the Capital has labOred for direct legis,
lation and clean partisan politics and
the present publisher does not propose
to mar that record by now giving the
support of the Capital to the most cor
rupt ring ever known in this state-the
present Turner Rogers machine, which ia
alone responsible for the state ticket
nominated at Seattle In taking this
position the publisher does not stultify
himself in any way for he announced be-
fore the convention was held that he
would not support John r. Rogers for
reelection, and after his nomination, left
the convention and took no part in it..
The Capital charges, which can be
proven, that Governor Rogers machine
assessed state employees for a personal
denomination fund which is sufficient to
absolve all pOpulists from support of
the ticket.

REFERRING TO ROGERS

The Olympia Capital explains itself in
the following and then shows populists
why they should not support Rogers for
governor:
The Colfax gazette. [volume] (Colfax, Wash.) 1893-1932, 1900-09-28

ing pledges for votes and support we are
ready to back Rogers against any poll
tician in the state. 1t is said that
Rogers has bargain counter in second
hand pledges left over from 1896 that
can be secured cheap; among the lot
is the pledges made to the populist con-
ventiOn in Ellensburg that he would not
use the veto power but hold the repre-
sentatives responsible to the people; also
his pledge of one term OF office and his
pledge to support the platform then
adopted, to say nothing of individual
and private pledges that he made for
support and violated them ALL He
never lifted his hand to assist in the en-
actmeDt into law of any of the pledges
to the people in the state platform of
1896, when the pOpulist house in the
legislature of 1897, passed bills covering
every one, many of them only to be
killed or postponed by the Turner
Rogers senators in the state senate.
The Rogers heelers are claiming for
his administration all of the beneficial
effect OF the populist legislation OF 1897
and of the careful work of the state
officials elected on the state ticket with
chine methods. All that Rogers is en-
titled to credit for is the control of state
institutions which have been manipu-
lated by his state board of politicians to
assist in establishing the Turner-Rogers
machine, and so far all the ISLANDERS OF
| this administration are connected with
these institutions. There was the con-

racy. In 1896 the populists had the

The first Photographic portrait from
life ever made was of Miss Dorothy c.
Draper, Of Hastings, N. Y, who posed
for the picture in 1889. Her brother,
DR.. John w. Draper. who had been
greatly interested in the experiments
Of Daguerro and Niepee, took the like
ness, which has since become famous
1t is in the collection Of Sir John Her
schel. 1t is a long time-half century
now-sInce Miss Draper, in the quaint
bonnet and gown Of the period, sat for
her picture, which is still in an admir-
able state of preservation. AS a faith
full and beautiful likeness It has never
been surpassed by modern photog-
raphy, says the Chicago Times-Herald.
1t is a long step from the daguerreo-
type of fifty years ago to the wonderful
photographs of 1900. From the time of
the discoveries of wedgewood, in 1902,
to the successful completion Of the da-
guerreotype process by Daguerre in
1889, the only pictures taken were Of
still life. Even when the daguerreotype
was in its perfection long exposures
were required, varying from three to
thirty minutes. With strong sunlight
five minutes was considered by many
photographers the requisite length OF
time to take u portrait.
The method OF obtaining daguerreo-
types was complicated. First a bright
ly polished silver plate was cleaned
with pumice, olive oil and nitric acid
and afterward brilliantly polished with
a soft bun. The plate was then placed,
face downward, resting on supports,
over a saucer on which had been scat
tered fragments OF iodine. covered with
gauze The vapor from the iodine
formed upon the plate a surface OF sill
yer iodide, which is the sensitive com
pound. The stage Of maximum sensi-
tlveness was reached when 1t was OF a
golden orange color. In this stage the
plate was inserted in the dark side Of
the camera, ready for exposure. The
pictures were beautiful. but copies could
not be made. Not until DR.. Diapers
successful venture was the idea Of using
the daguerreotype as the means Of per-
petuatlng the likeness of individuals
considered feasible. He opened a new
and fascinating realm to the photog-
rapher,

ADJUSTMENTS.


Mr.. Charles G. Craig, character ac-
tor Of more than ordinary ability, will
again play Nathaniel Berry in James A.
Herne's beautiful play of lowly life,
"shore Acres" AS Nathaniel Berry in
this work Mr.. Craig is seen at the
height Of his powers and his interpre-
tatlon has been justly commended
throughout the country. Mr.. Craig
was Mr.. Herne's understudy years ago.
and when a second company was sent
out to present "shore Acres" he was.
as matter of course, selected to head
the organization. Among the other
prominent members in Mr., Herne's
company are Alessrs. Atkins Lawrence,
w. Il. Burton, James Burrows, w. n.
Whlttemore, and Misses Belle Theo-
dore, Marion Cullen and Mrs. Craig.
This is the eighth season for "shore
Acres" and its drawing powers are Us
great now as they were when the play
was first produced. Mr.. Herne's new
play, Sag Harbor Folk" is said to be
modelled on "shore Acres" and
Hearts Of Oak" which has lately been
revived, is also of the same order.
These three plays are in many ways I'M
like any other native works, and will,
with some of Charles Dickens works,
be included in James A. Herne's Lon
don repertoire. A complete scenic pro-
ductIon Of Shore Acres" will be given
at the Opera House next Tuesday.

Tuesday afternoon.
"shanty Town"
In the presentation Of "shanty Town"
there was no attempt to instruct or to
preach sermon. Poetry. sentiment,
emotion and tragedy did not figure in
the construction OF the piece; they are
left to the tender merices OF the archi-
tects Of melodrnma. AS hearty laugh
is better than physIc "shanty Town"
may not, strictly speaking, be "a Joy
forever" but 1t is a good thing while 1t
lasts, and at present 1t is a remarkably
lusty youngster. The moral 1t teaches
may not be thicker than gauze, but 1t
awakens honest laughter, and that is
as good an endorsement as one could
wish for. A car load OF special scenery
is carried by the company for this pro-
ductlon, which will be seen at the
Grand the first half of this week.
