"Farmer" Todd's Latest Plan.

Olympia dispatch of March 3rd to
Ledger: J. H. Todd, better known as
Farmer" Todd has been in Olympia
during the past week. "Farmer" Todd
just happened in. There was apparent
ly little to draw him to the capital
during the present session, but he
came out of force of habit, and once
here he spent most of his time in con-
ference with former Popu1ist leaders.
He has gone to Seattle and will proba-
bly, visit other state points before re-
turning to his Mason county retreat.
According to Farmer Todd, the
Populist party is not dead, 1t may
| never have another ticket, but Todd
believes the influence of the members
will be felt and some kind Of an
organization may be kept up.
"There has been some talk he said
| yesterday, .sof the organization of a
non partisan political league. The
object of such league would be to
band together the independent forces
of the state, Probably 5000 or more
former Popullsts and others would
| join such a league and this body of
voters could absolutely control state
politics.
The men who are interested in the
formation of such league do not care
for Office themselves. They only de.
sire that the best men be chosen and
the better policy for the state be adopt.
ed. It would be possible with an indie
pendent organization such has been
proposed to attend Democratic or Re.
publican primaries whichever seemed
to offer the best opportunity for &C
complishing reform sought-and te
aid the party endorsed.
I'm reality this organization woult
be somewhat on the order of the Farm
The Mason County journal. [volume] (Shelton, W.T.) 1886-1927, 1901-03-08

ers' Alliance. In the early days OF
that organization the Alliance did not
nominate candidates or attempt to
take an active part in party matters
The Alliance was absolutely indepen-
dent and whatever was believed best
for the county or the state was done.
1 believe there is strong probability
of returning to this organization.
"What the Populist party throughout
the nation will do is questionable. 1t is
certain that if the element known as
the conservatives secure control OF
the Democratic party the Populists
cannot go with them. They could
support the Democratic party IN the
position it has taken during the past
four or five years and if this attitude
is preserved do not believe the Popu-
lists will attempt to maintain an indie
pendent organization.
"Ihere seems to me to be trend in
national politics toward the organi-
cation of party, or bringing one OF
the two great parties to 4 middle
ground between the principles repre-
scented by Bryan and Mckinley. I am
not prepared to say that such party
would not receive Populist endorse
ment."
Incidentally Farmer" Todd indi-
Gated rather strongly that the old line
Populists are not enthusiastic over the
prospect of George Turner's return to
the United States senate. His election
four years ago was not hailed with JOY
by the populists, and there is a posi-
bility that he will have trouble getting
the party in line. Farmer Todd
was through that fight, insisting upon
the election of Populist, and was a
figure in the Squire investigation
which followed. He achieved some
prominence through his remarkably
deficient memory when the Investigate
ing committee sought to inquire into
the knowledge Todd had of transact
ions in the fight.

Again in Trouble.

Jack Davis, the fisherman. wei,
known pretty nearly all over the
Sound, and who seems to possess the
unhappy taculty.of getting mixed up
with trouble at frequent intervals, is
again IN the tolls. This time the
trouble began by Jack taking a skiff
which he found near the head of tbe
bay on Saturday last and sailing ga;lv
away to Olympia. There would have
oeen nothing peculiar or wrong in this
II the boat had belonged to himself.
Out unfortunately it didn't. But Jack
took it anyway, probably from force
OF habit. The boat belonged to Mac
summons, but was in the care of
Joseph Brand at the time. Brand had
borrowed the boat from the owner and
gone to the head of the bay, where lie
lett 1t Tor a few hours drawn up on
the beach. Here Davis found il and
against the peace and dignity of the
state and contrary to the statutes in
such case made aud provided he took
possession and laying his course In the
direction of Olympia foated quietly
away on the turbulent bosom of the
Big Skookum.
1t is claimed, though not charged in
the complaint which was afterwards
hled against Davis, that several sacks
OF oysters disappeared with the boat.
AS soon as Brand discovered his loss
he telephoned particulars to the author
tiles at Olympia and when the bold
mariner sailed into the sleepy harbor
OF that city and had moored his craft
he was gently tapped on the shoulder
by Chief Savage and told that he was
a badly wanted man.
Sheriff Vogtl1n was notified and
went to Olympia Tuesday and brought
the prisoner to Shelton for trial. The
case was heard before Justice Giles
Wednesday morning and resulted in
the accused being found guilty and
lined 800 and costs, the costs amount
ing to $23.4 In default of payment
Davis was placed in jail and will
occupy modest apartments in that
institution for the next 80 DAYS or
more.

time strike us, we shall have no pants

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infam
ed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
bearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restorel to its normal

the mucous surfaces.
