REPUBLICANS TO MEET.
Chairman Frank Will Call Central Com
mittee Together in a Few Days.

"As soon as / receive an official notice
from the state committee as to the ac-
ton in calling the state convention to
meet at Tacoma May H." said Chair
man Frank of the republican county cen
trail committee to a Herald reporter last
Monday, Il shall call a meeting of the
county central committee. Our county
convention, think, should be held about
the 9TH and the primaries one week
earlier, say on Saturday, April 80. This
is only my idea, however; YOU know the
committee will decide these matters for
itself. | was disappointed that the
state committee decided i'll favor of only
one convention, but, as l told you last
week, this will not interfere with hold
ing two county conventions. / am sure
our local committee will favor pursuing
this plan. 1t is entirely too early to
nominate county ticket in May and
have a campaign of six months dura-
ton; people would get sick of it and
the candidates and the active workers
would simply be tired to death before
il was over. 1t is bad enough TO have
such long state campaign, but it would
never do in the county contest, and l
don't think it will even be considered
seriously by the committee

Sunnyside Canal Extension.

A Pros,er dispatch of last Thursday
says that Rich & Harris, we'll known
local contractors, have been awarded the
contract for removing the rocks and
gravel from the main ditch of the Sun
nysidc canal extension, opposite Prosser.
The work is to be done within sixty
days and will furnish employment for
about seXrnty-five men. 1t is not known
what the contract figures are, but judges
of such work say it will aggregate &c.,
600. Rich & Harris will move their
outfit to the scene of operations as soon
as their contract on the agency ditch is
finished, which will not take many more
days. Lumber is being shipped into
Prosser for the flume work required by
the ditch extension and laterals. One
flume will take 100000 feet of lumber,
while 100000 feet will be required for
the main ditch and other laterals. The
company has raised its water rights to
$40 per acre.

The Smoot Issue.

At the request of the Rev. 7. II. Dry,
home missionary of the Presbyterian
church, The Herald publishes the sub
Joined editorial on the Smoot case, taken
from the Christian Endeavor World of
Feb. 25. Rev. Dry says that it expresses
his sentiments, puts the entire matter
in few words and The Herald is pleas
ed to give it publicity:
1T is not Senator Smoot, but the Nor
mon hierarchy, that is on trial in Wash
ington before the senate committee that
is investigating the charges against the
senator elect from Utah. 1t may or may
not be proved that Mr.. Smoot practices
polygamy; that has very little to do
with the matter. The essence of the OPP
position to him lies i'll the fact that he
is one of the leading officials of an orga-
nized conspiracy against the welfare of
the United States.
The Mormon church aspires to alb
solute political power. 1t is fast gain
ing that power over all the region west
of the Rockies. 1t requires of all its
members entire obedience, in civil as well
as ecclesiastical matters. 1t is an ar
rogant sinuous, dangerous, reasonable
organization, and to place its represen-
tative in the legislative hall once occu-
pied by a Sumner. Clay, Webster,
would be the height OF national folly"
