1t is true Turner misrepresents the sem
tment of majority of the people of this
state, upon this as we'll as all other politi-
| cal questions. But that is the result of
the misfortune that befell the people when
| in a season of alteration they elected a
mongrel islature.-Olympian.
| II Senator Turner desires to express the
will OF the people of Washington state
| he will, in his speech next Monday, de-
clare himself for expansion and the re-
tention of the Philippines. and against
dishonoring the old flag. That's where
nine-tenths Of his constituents stand
Blaine Republican.
He also made grave charges against
| Mckinley for his mismanagement OF this
whole business and warned the Republi-
| can administration of the wrath to come
when the people understand the true in
wardness of the situation. The citizens of
this state should be proud of their senator
and of his stand for humanity.-Tacoma
| Sun.
! He has taken up the great public ques-
tons of the day and handled them as a
| scholar and statesman. His public ut
teranceS have shown profound study and
| deep convictions. His speech in the sem
| ate the other day on the Philippine ques-
| ton was one of the most unanswerable
| speeches that we have read on the SUBJ
| ject.-Peoples Advocate.
with the skill of the adroit debater Sem
| ator Turner, like Senator Mason and most
| others who take his view of the Philip
| pine question, sees parallel in the South
| African war. The Filipinos he regards as
| fighting like the Beers for independence
| and liberty, but the cases are so dissmilar
| that it does not tend to clearness of
| thought to compare the two.-Chicago
| News.
| And of course that isn't what the peo-
| Pile in general want these men to do. Ours
| is a progressive state, up-to-date and
| loyal to the president and the country
| and sincerely deplores the fact that she
| has in the senate one of the ringleaders
| of the unpatriotie band Of "aunties' who
| talk to no purpose. and who are heard for
| their much speaking. --Vancouver Column

We resent with Indignation and shame
! the sentiments of Senator Turner He
| speaks not for US nor for any considerable
| portion of his state but Isl a wandering
| star In the political armament, out of
| harmony with the established order of
| things like Father Hoar of Massachusetts,
| Pettigrew of South Dakota, Sulzer of New
| York. all kickers and cranks. and as
| abnormal as the freaks in the side show
| of circus.-Republic Miner.
Senator Turner. whose election to the
| United States senate was a disgrace to
| the Evergreen state, so fragrant and yenal
| were the methods employed In bringing
| about that election. is further disgracinn
! the state by opposing the Philippine war
| Senator Turner should be a colleague Of
| Pitehfork Tilman. the South Carolina
| heather, instead of that of a gentleman
| from the North. How unfortunate that
| such cotton mouths should be the senior
| senator of a Northern state-Seattle Re-
