WATRES FOR GOVERNOR
How His Candidacy Is Regarded
In His Home Town.
A SCRANTON VIEW OF HIM

He Is No Factionst, But An Every

Stood For Party Unity and Public
Service.
Scranton, Pa, Oct 1.-The brief,
but frank and manly letter of Colonel
L. A. Watres, Of this city, announcing
his candidacy for governor of Pennsyl-
vania, has delighted his numerous per
sonal and political friends, not only
in Scranton, but throughout northeast
ern Pennsylvania. The letter is in
reality as much an answer to numer-
Gus inquiries as it is an announce
ment of the authors purpose.
AS is well known in all parts of
the state, there has long been a strong
Republican sentiment in favor of the
candidacy of Colonel Watres for gov
ernOr. 1t began while he was serv-
ing in the state senate, and received
a strong impetus during his campaign
for lieutenant governor, when, despite
the defeat of the regular Republican
nominee for governor, he carried the
day for his party and was elected
against most adverse conditions. His

that manufactures unite in the char.

subscriptions, under the charge of op.
eratives capable of explaining their
merits and negotiating for sales. Mr..

coast, across the Pacific to the parts Of

A GENERAL WAR OF ExTERMINATIoN
ON RATs.-Japan proposes a novel
campaign and invites the world to
join her in it-and that is u war of ex-
termination on rats. That nation has
been conducting an exhaustive invest
igation and the conclusion has been
reached, notwithstanding the general.
ly received opinion that nothing is
created in vain, that rats serve no
purpose under the sun other than to
propagate disease among mankind.
Their existence has been declared a
constant menace to health and life
and DR.. Nagusha, is engaged in dis
seminating the Mikado's appeal te
civilization to exterminate the 70
dents. He declares that rats carry al
sorts of contagion while the property
destroyed by the teeth of the aggres
sive little animal amounts to hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in value
each year. The only useful purpose
accorded TO the rat has been its ser
vices rs q scavenger, but it is unques

ORATORY TO Be THRoTTLED.-It is
really to be regretted that the President
has given local orators such solar

form OF greeting he expects on his
Western trip. 1t is the first time that
the form OF popular demonstrations
has been prescribed by any individual
who is to be honored by popular &C.
claim, but then, we are entering upon
. new form of government and must
expect to adapt ourselves to new con-
ditions. 1t is probably best that the
voice of the dictator should first be
heard in gentle tones. The edict has
gone forth through the Lord High
Butler of the Presidential party, that
" All speech.making and formal recep-
tons will be avoided, and as much
time spent in driving about as posi-.
ble." Quite a number of our local or.
ators have been wandering ON the sea
shore with pebbles in their mouths to
qualify themselves for a steady and
rhythmic outpour OF eloquence on the
great occasion, in the hope that they
might thus possibly touch chord il
the heart of the dispenser OF politica
pie that would return some reward
though it might be after many DAYS.

Whatcom Wants Delivery Of Goods.

A little inside history, relative to
the manipulation Of the Ruth capitol
bill, is gradually leaking out from
a disinterested standpoint and pre-
sents very humorous phase of the
subject. 1t is said that III order to Sc
cure the good will of some of the
members OF the Whatcom delegation
in behalf of the Ruth bill, the argu-
ment was used that ii the courthouse
proposition passed, it would insure the
use OF Chuckanut stone FOR the cree
ton OF the addition to the building,
inasmuch as the said stone had been
used when the court house was built.
This was a very plausible argument
and had considerable weight with the
members from that county, from the
fact that Chuckanut stone comes from
their county. Chas. Rothc, Of the
Chuckanut company was on the
ground and used every effort in behalf
OF the courthouse proposition, and
the record shows that his labor was
not thrown awar.
But there is trouble in sight and
breakers ahead, for the Governor has
jumped the track and has about de-
cided TO use the stone in the old foun-
dation. There has been considerable
alarm in camp and the trouble was
serious enough to warrant the pres
ence of the representative OF the
Whatcom quarry. One of the mem
bers of the Whatcom delegation was
also here to use what persuasion he
could use to prevent the ignoring of hi;
promise. Although of the same party
utilization as the executive, it is not
certain whether he has been able to
turn the Governor back into line. 1t
is pretty ticklish condition of affairs
at least for the Whatoom county PEG.
pie, for if the old stone is used, they
will only have the slight satisfaction
of holding the bag. Further, the
Thurston county people will be in q
rather unenviable position in not hav'
ing been able to deliver the goods
This would be rather an unfortunate
termination of the deal, especially
when it is considered that in order to
get the help of the vote of the What
com members, it was at the expense o.
the Thurston county quarry interests
The Tenino stone quarry is located in
this county and furnished the stone
for the old capitol foundation. If the
Governor has his way, it looks very
much as though everybody will be out
in the cold except Rogers, and all hi
will get is satisfaction. The What
com people will lose the stone con
tract, for which they delivered quite {
few votes; the Ruth people will bs
held responsible for not having de
livered the goods; the Tenino quarry
will be out Git would have been GU
