Jail Break Sunday.

Sunday noon we had a Jail delivery
consisting of four persons. Mike Har-
ringtOn, Frank Martin. Jess Jarvis and
Nj. McDevitt The prisoners broke Il
gas pipe attached to the sink and with
this dug through the wall into the
treasurers vault. Here they converted
knife blade into a screwdriver and
took the lock of the vault door. This
made things easy from that time on.
All they had to do was to manipulate a
couple OF thumb locks and gain their
liberty, which they did, but that eagle
eyed janitor, Tom Maxey, who had
gone to dinner, was soon on the ground
and made the discovery that the birds
had flown. The alarm was given and
quite a posse was dispatched in post
haste. The first victim was captured
at the stock yards and the other three
near the lower wagon bridge, and by &
D. m. the victims were once more dOmi-
ciled in the old chicken coop, called
the Jail. No resistance was offered,
the surrender being promptly made on
demand.

tors AMI representatives in congress.
Every department of our state govern
ment has been ably, honestly. efficient
" and economically administered under
republican administration.
Trans Pacific commerce is OF vital
importance to our state. We heartily
indorse the action of the president and
of congress which resulted in the ap-
pointment of commission to investi-
gate and re port the condition of our
merchant marine, TO the ultimate end
that American commerce may be car
ried in American ships.
We favor the enactment of such laws
in his state as will prevent the acqui
sition and indefinite holding of large
tracts of state timber land. to the eX-
clusion and prejudice of small mill
owners and consumers.
We favor the passage by the next
legislature of an antipass bill. in com.
pliance with the provisions of our state
constitution.
We believe the general government
should aid in the construction of a sys-
TEN Of highways under competent en-
gineers. The United States senate
committee having recommended the
passage of the I.atimer BILL apprOpri-
a. ing &24 100000 for the improvement
OF public highways. we recommend
that lhe members of congress from this
state be and are hereby instructed to
support the BrOwnlOw bill that is now

1t has always been the policy of the
republican party to protect the inter-
ests OF labor. Legislation along the
line urged by the State Federation of
Labor is heartily approved.
This convention is in favor of the re-

We favor the enactment of such laws

portion of cases when women are weak,

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM
As Adopted at Tacoma, Wednesday. May nth
1904 in Delegated Convention

1.-THE glorious achievements of the
republican party during the admins
tratiop of the late lamented President
Mckinley has been duplicated and EN-
phasized by his lluStrious successor,
who has faithfully adhered to his poll
cies and courageOu>ly carried them
into effect. Theodore Roosevelt has
horne the tremendous responsibilities
ot his great Office upon the high level
of national duty and national honor
His administration has been thorough
" representative and truly American.
The laws have been fearlessly and nm
partially enforced as they were enacted
nv congress. Evil doors have been
driven from the public service: com
binations in restraint Of trade and COM
merce have been brought to the bar or
Justice. His administration has
brought unparalleled prosperity; main
tanned the public honor, fostered indus
try, stimulated enterprise, extended
American commerce, strengthened
American influence, exalted American
citizenship and brought prosperity
alike to capital and to labor, we there
fore favor the nomination of Theodore
Roosevelt and hereby instruct the dele
gates chosen by this convention to sup
port his candidacy.
We reatfirm our allegiance to the
principles Of a protective tariff and de-
mand that whenever the contingencies
of trade or commerce shall require a
revision Of existing schedules such re-
vision shall be made by the friends Of
the system rather than by its ancient
enemies. We favor reciprocity in non
competitive products and oppose any
application OF that principle which
contemplates the removal of the exist
ing duty on coal and lumber
In the light OF our rapidly growing
commerce, we favor more liberal ap-
preparations for the improvement OF
rivers and harbors, and direct our dele
gates to the national convention to
urge declaration to this effect in the
national platform.
Our monetary system is now on such
stable and satisfactory basis that men
look back in wonder and amazement
when they recall the wild vagaries and
still wilder democratic theories in 1896
We commend the wise statesmanship
ana promptness of action which secured
control OF the territory for the Panama
canal and of the steps taken for it's
prompt construction.
we favor commission with power
10 determine, for the purpose of assess
inehC and taxation, the values of all
corporate property, both real and per-
sonai' to the end that the burden of the
government may be borne without pref
uolce' favor or inequality.
we thoroughly and heartily indorse
Inc faithful public service of orr sen..

supporter Of the principle, advocated
10y Theodore tno>evelt and Henry Nc
Bride. President Roosevelt will be
the republican candidate for president,
aud The SDokes man-Review will be an
enthusiastic advocate of his election
The republican manipuatOrs in this
state having shown by their rejection
Of Governor Mcbride and the railroad
commission plank that they are not sin
cerely for The principles of Presidel t.
Roosevelt. but have become willing
creatures of the railroad lobby which
has long menaced good government and
corrupted public officials in this state.
The Spokesman Review will not advO-
cate the election of those nominees of
the republican state convention whose
nomination was brought about by lobby
dictation.
The Spokesman-Review will do ev ary-
thing within its power to aid the cleo
ton of President Roosevelt, as it be-
lieves him to be a man of high integ-
rity, ability and devotion to duty. and a
sincere defender of the rights of the
American people,
