PLATFORM FOR REPUBLICAN
LEGISLATIVE NOMINEES.

In the campaign circular issued last
April prior to the republican primaries
by w H. Kirkman, F. S. Dement, and
Oscar Cain. as the executive committee
of the Roosevelt Mcbride club, it was
suggested that the following platform
should be adopted by the anti Nc
Bride republicans of the county:
I'VE the anti mcbride republic
cans of Walla Walla county, by our
manipulators in secret caucus as
sembled, do hereby adopt this as
our platform and declaration of
principles.
Whereas, we realize the present
and growing popularity of an APP
pointive railroad commission;
Resolved, that we seize the
present opportunity to advocate
railroad commission for the pur-
pose of saving our political scalps.
Resolved, second. that we favor
railroad commission, provided
appointment or election, but that
we are unalterably opposed to the
appointment of commission by
any man who will not carefully
guard the interests of the rail-
roads.
Resolved, third, that We view
with alarm the present tendency OF
the peolle to vote for an appoint
i've railroad commission, believing
as we do that all the functions that
may be conferred upon such COM
mission can be better performed
by the railroad lobby, from which
we have received many substan-
tial favors in the past.
"Resolved. sixth, that We resent
the imputation that there is any
thing unfair to the people of the
state of Washington In the present
freight schedule whereby wheat
and flour can be shipped from Min
neapolis to Seattle for approx
mately the same rate that they
can be shipped from Walla Walla
to the same point, realizing as we
do that it is only by such means
that the lobby can be maintained.
Resolved, seventh, that the peo-
nle should bear cheerfully any
burdens that may be imposed by
the railroads in the interest of good
government and cheerfully look to
the future for their reward.

cumm,xs SAYS NE WAS BETRAYED.

The dirty work done in the Polk
county convention to lumiliate Gov
ernor Cumrnins with a delegation COM
posed of his enemies and instructed to
support Blythe's program has brought
fron the governor a statement which
will be of help in simplifying the issues
In the state at large. The governor
says that he had an agreement with
that he should be permitted to name
the delegates to the state convention.
This agreement was openly endorsed by
Hull managers in their campaign. The
governor frankly confesses that he ia
vored Prouty personally but explains
that many of his friends and half his
appointees Were Hull men and that he,
himself, held aloof from the contest on
the promises made to him. Since the
Register and Leader has already stated
that Cummins could easily have had
the convention If he had contested for
It in the primaries, the Polk county re-
suit can hardly be taken as voicing
Polk county sentiment on the state is
sue Rather it is the dirty work OF
Ed Hunter, Late Young and Blythe to
down Cummins.
The governor also lends encourage
ment to his friends in other districts
when he proclaims that he favors the
two senator's "unQualifiedly" and A. B.
Funk as delegates and that il
he Is selected, himself, it must be I'M
derstood that he wild work for the
adoption of Iowa's platform of last
year in the national convention. If any
body IS sincerely seeking harmony he
can well turn the Iowa delegation over
to the governor on this declaration,
since Blythe and Perkins and unan-
tmous convention accepted last years
platform without protest.
The prediction can be safely ventur-
ed. however, that with the lead gained
by their work in Polk county, Ed Hun
Ter, Lade Young and the Blythe con-
tingent in Iowa will not rest content
until they put Blythe on the delegation
and secure such control as to harness
Cummins, make him take his orders
from Blythe and cause him to withdraw
from the delegation Inundated. This
has been all there is to the hubbub
raised by standpat newspapers over the
<ariff issue and must remain the chief
purpose of the opposition. Blythe
seeks control. Cummins must be
downed and it is only by such methods
as used in Polk county that it can be
done.

ton In the state at large. however,
is the fact that Blythes delegate ticket
containing three names and blank
for his own name to be filled in has
actually been so filed out by Blythe
men, albeit their control of the con"
vention came from the advantage tax
en- of Cummins while under a flag of
truce. When Blythe was so magnani-
NOUS as to offer to eliminate his own
candidacy in the interests of harmony
some of us laughed. We can now see
that he meant it only in case the other
side had the votes. Pennsylvania
seems to take pride in the fact that
Quay sent himself to the United States
senate and with few more blunderers
like Prouty's managers, the repuhli
cans of Iowa can swell up with sim
liar pride while Boss Blythe senos
himself to national convention as
delegate large in such company as
that OF Iowa's two senators.

PART OF the GAME.

There is an old trick known among
professional pick pockets in which two
or more confederates raise disturb
ance In the crowd to distract atten-
zion from their light fingered artist,
while he Is in the act Of getting the
goods. In Des Moines the pick pockets
seem to have gone into politics Tor
the same old game was worked with
Brilliant success in the Polk county
convention Saturday. While LATE
was busy with resolutions that should
seem to compliment Cummins, yet in
effect tie UP the delegation, to the
very Blythe proposition which Cum
minis has thrice and again refused 10
consider, Berryhill was raising very
Bedlam of confusion by his charges Ct
election frauds supported and actually
passed upon with affidavits from one
side only being heard. The noise
Berryhill made, for the moment, dis
tracted the attention Of eyryone, even
the Register and Leader, and not
only was LATE Young busy, but Ed
Hunter, with the dexterity Of past
master, was fixing UP the committee Of
1--we that should name delegation
which the Hull managers had once
consented and agreed to let Cummins
name for himself.
AS to Berryhills charges the out
side public will never ask for the
evidence Everybody watching tha
Des Moines primary has already con
vfcted the whole outfit of fraud. 1t is
hardly probable, however, that all the
frauds were confined to the Prouty
districts. The man who carried less
than one-third the precincts caa

ing and the expenditure of $4,000 to

single primary will hardly qualify the
Hull majority in the convention as fit

tion did not escape the reporter for

score the alleged frauds. Its denun-
citation was most bitter" EN-! prob

that the Prouty men were not asked TO
rresent their defense. Mr.. Berryhill
htmseIf, who is said to have delivered
an .impassioned" speech, when pres
] senting the charges, has already been
named as the principal beneficiary Of
all the Hull fortunes.
The cry of stop theft" raised by
q gang like that will fail to rouse the
Indignation of an enraged public. When
raised to assist the work of such light
fingered gentry as Lafe Young and
Ed Hunter, 1t will actually stir up re-
