fair-minded reader of this paper Will
testify that the charge is false. The
Statesman has not attacked the pri-
ware character of either of these candi-
dates, but it has confined itself to their
official record and to established
facts bearing upon the issues Of the
campaign.
The charges it has brought against
the administration of Mayor Hunt
have been completely sustained. The
machine organs have made no attempt
TO refute them, but have simply shout
ed liar" and "slanderer,' in order to
arouse public sympathy.
The Statesman has also referred
quite frequently to the record OF
Frank KEGS as a member of the legis-
lature and it stands by every asser-
ton made regarding his official record.
The people have the facts before
them. and it is for them to decide to-
day whether Hunt and KEGS, in the
light of the records they have made
in public office, are the men that
should be again honOred in preference
to Frank s. Dement, and Alvah Brown.

1T WAS A BOOMERANG.

0 Frank KEGS by an open letter to
abOr unions, signed by the alleged
ed to be a boomerang The president
Of the Walla Walla Trades Council
yesterday affixed lis signature to
statement Witnessed by several prom
inent labor union men, declaring that
the council had never authorized the
letter published in the morning paper
and distributed as a circular on the
streets, and that it was not author
lied by any union labor organization
The fact that the open letter" was
not signed by any union labor man
should have been proof enough that
the letter was campaign fake. but
its reputation by the president of
the trades council stamps it as a
transparent fraud.
The fact that Representative KEGS
voted for one little barber bill. for
which all first class BARRIERS and their
employees in the state had petitiOned
is certainly poor evidence that he is
a friend of organized labor Nobody
ever heard of his doing anything 10

BURFORD'S WILL is LAW.

Boss Burford's denial of his cOnnec-
ton with the Thomas springs land
proposition came too late in the day
to be effective, even if the public were
inclined to accept his statements
without question. AS to the title to
the Thomas land it is known that
when the water question was being
investigated by the citizens water
committee, a deed to the land was
held in escrow. and whatever legerde-
main may have been practiced since
10 cover up the real ownership, there
is little reason to doubt that the title
rests in the First National bank,
which would like to sell half of the
ranch to the city in order to get its
money back on an old loan and make
a big profit on the other half. AS
Mayor Hunt by throwing off taxes on
national bank stock and in otter ways
has shown a readiness to do the will
Of Boss BurfOrd, it is a safe bet that
if he is reelected today he will do
what he can toward forcing the city
to buy half the ranch.

MACHINE ORGANS INSULTED
PRESIDENT.

The morning paper yesterday re-
peated the lie started by the Argus
that the Statesman deliberately in
suited the president of the United
States during his visit to Walla Wal
Ia Any one who paid any attention
to the facts knows that on May 25th,
the day of the presidents visit to
this city, the Statesman praised him
in an editorial on why We Honor
Roosevelt" There was not one word
said derOgatory of the president. The
next day the Statesman made some
reference to the prominent teeth of
the president, but the president was
not then a guest of the city. How
ever, on the morning after the presi-
tent had dined with Senator Ankeny.

The test suit pending before Judge
HanfOrd to enjOin the county treasur-
er of this county from collecting the
five-mill school tax on national bank
stock is brought in the name of the
First National bank. and hence that
bank must stand the Odium of refus-
ing to pay the tax assessed for the
maintenance of the public schools of
this city and county Even if it were
admitted that the Baker Boyer Ma
JiOnal bank is also interested in this
suit, that does not affect the truth OF
what the Statesman has repeatedly
charged. SO far as the Statesman
has learned nobody connected with
that bank is a candidate before the
people at tOday's election. However
Gilbert Hunt by approving the action
of his finance committee in secretly
throwing off fifteen hundred dollars
in national bank taxes. must share
the responsibility for this attempt tC

ton of the children of the city.

charge against the Statesman, few
days after the president had visited
this city. it declared that he was lack
ing in spirituality and that he was of
a worldly, animal nature.
But this was not the first time that
the Argus had spoken disrespectfully
OF beloved president In April, 1901,
it was announced that at some time
in the month of May President Nc
kinley would visit Walla Walla. Here
are some Of the references made by
the Argus to the prospective visit Of
Mckinley:
Weekly Argus, April II, 1901: Mr..
Mckinley has been called vacillating
by his enemies and also by many Of
his friends. 1t was expected of him
when he was inaugurated four years
ago that he would be the nations exc
cutive in all that the word implied
1t was expected that he would have
backbone, like his predecessor, Grover
Cleveland. He did start out quite
bravely, but his better judgment on
several occasions was forced aside by
his advisers. Had Mr.. Mckinley been
left to himself the people of Porto
Rico would not now be in a starving
condition. There would
have been no mOnkeying with the
band wagon in Cuba, and we would
have had no war of conquest on our
hands in the Philippines. But because
Mr.. Mckinley has recedeI from sew
eral positions does 1t argue that he
is incompetent.
Small calibre men can be mulish
and obstinate. but how many Of them
would suffer the humiliation Of being
forced from a position after having
taken it in the full glare of publicity.
While the Argus would heartily ap-
plaud the president if he would take
the initiative and 60 just what he
thought best without consulting Mar
Gus CT any other cuss, Mr. Mckinley
may take the ground that he is the
servant and not the master of the
people. Such point Of order would
not be we'll taken, he viewer, as he does
not swerve at thu behest of the peo-
pie. but at the beck and call of repre-
sentatives OF the sugar trust and such
like
Weekly Argus, April %, 1901: ooh
but the pity Of it, my countrymen
And Willie Mckinley on his way out
here to Whet has niger at you all and
think in his Utmost gizzard that he
was pretty smooth when he went back
on all his old free silver friends and
speeches to cleave cOnvulsively to the
fat neck of Marcus of MOneyyille."
| From these quotations it will be
seen that the Union and the Argus
live in glass houses when it comes tC
the lack of respect for a visiting presi-
dent and silence would be becoming
! to both.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1903-07-13

In spite of the misrepresentation
by the Evening Caterpillar, it remains
true that it was because of the pub
lie sentiment aroused by the States
man that the school board submitted
to the people the question of ratifying
and validating s63.729.69 in warrants
illegally issued, and every honest
reader of the Statesman knows that
this paper advocated the voting of
bonds for the reason that it would
save interest on the debt.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1903-07-13

Mayor Hunts plan for acquiring the
Thomas land was to have the people
vote a bond issue of One-hundred and
twenty-five thousand dollars and then
use twenty five thousand dollars of
the money to buy one-hundrei and
thirty-seven acres of the land without
direct reference of the question to the
people. The Statesman has absolute
proof that this plan was seriously pro-
posed by Mayor Hunt to avoid the
submission Of the question of buying
the land to the people as a distinc1
proposition.
