AFTERMATH OF THE
STATE CONVENTION.

The platform and ticket named by
the republican state convention at Ia
coma last week appear elsewhere in
this issue, but there are other matters
in connection with the gathering of con-
siderable interest to Yakima people.
The chief of these, perhaps, is the sue
cess of the delegation from this county
in being able to secure three places on
the ticket, the Craftsmanship of the con-
vention and then going into the judi
cial convention and naming Mr.. Engle-
hart for superior judge. One of the
most potent factors in the accomplish
ment of these results was the character
of the candidates that Yakima had to
offer; there were none better to be
found in this big state. In fact it is no
eXaggeration to say that there were
few as good. Beginning with Congress
man Jones' whom the republicans from
all sections delight to honor. there was
never any question about his renomi-
nation by acclamation. He has made
himself so useful to the entire state in
congress that the people cannot get
along without him. Notwithstanding

THE STATE TICKET.

The republican ticket that was nomi-
mated at Tacoma last Wednesday is
GOOD, strong ticket. 1t is composed OF
clean and able men and is worthy of the
support of every member of the party.
II will be elected in November and any
republican who opposes it will be a
marked man in the party in the future.
Hon. A. +. Mead, the candidate for gov
ernor. has never been connected with the
corporations and has never. during the
practice of his profession, been an at
tornev for the railroads. He served one
term in the legislature in the lower
house, has been prosecuting attorney OF
his county and is loved and respected
by the people of his home town. He is
a strong man and will do the right
thing. He can be trusted He is good
speaker and will be a fine campa,gner.
He is plain man and one who will take
with the people. The Yakima delega-
ton favored his nomination from the
start and The Herald calls on the men,
bers of the party to indorse the action
of its representatives in the state con-
vention by making his majority in this
county as large as that of Congressman
Jones.
The other features of the ticket and
platform will be commented on in these
columns from time to time. Suffice it
to say now that eastern Washington,
instead of being ignored, has eleven can
didates on the ticket. And Yakima
county, surely, does not doubt That in
the selection of those candidates the best
men were chosen. 1t is true of those
from this county beyond any question
and for that reason alone, if for no 9TH
err, Yakima republicans are expected to
be loyal and true to the entire ticket
and give it rousing majority in No
vember

right. Generally speaking. when a
large majority of the people take
stand on a matter of this kind, which
has only been brought to climax after
years of unjust burdens being imposed
on them, they are in the right. The
council realizes the situation and if the
company can comprehend it the two
ought to be able to get together before
the city itself determines to engage in
the water and lighting business. That
is what it will surely do if this contro-
versy is not settled to the satisfaction
of the general public.
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1904-05-18
AS TO THE FRANCHISES.

The people of this city will sustain
the action of the council Monday evening
in repeating the franchises of the water
and light company. Its rates are too
high for both of these necessities, are
unequal and the service is poor. And
the company has shown no disposition
whatever to reduce or adjust them. The
council, after waiting patiently for
months for a reply to its requests for
an adjustment of rates, cannot be just
ly criticised. The company itself is
largely responsible for it's franchises
being repealed through its dilatory tao
tics; it had ample time to readiust the
rates if it had cared to do so. 1t should
have realized. if it meant to do anything
in this direction, that patience ceases
10 be virtue at times. and should also
have taken into consideration the SEN
timent of the people. Ever since the
twenty-five year extension of the fran
ehises the company. which has never
been popular with the people, has been
growing in disfavor. They believe the
extension was unjust, if not illegal.
their sentiment being thus expressed
at the polls last December by an over
wnelming majority. The present city
administration promised in its platform
that it would compel the company, if
possible, to do the right thing by the
public. The mayor and council are now
going to carry out that promise if they
can. 1t is right that they should do So
And it is not right simply because the
promise was made, either. The princi-
pie involved in the proposition is right
or it would not have been made. The
mayor and council are fair men and
would not knowingly do the company
an injustice. They have not done so.
in the opinion of this newspaper, and.
as before stated, the people will sustain
their action.
What the result of the repeal will be-
it is rifficult to determine at this time
but the logical conclusion is, now that
the issue of rates and service for water
and lights has been squarely raised.
that it will be settled. The company.
if it is wise. will realize that it is the
demand of the people, through the coun-
ell, for the settlement of this vexed
question. They are quite likely to CON
tinue its agitation until it is settled

At one time during the lobbying to
slate the ticket, Governor Mcbride came
nearer being chosen than many of the
delegates had any idea of. 1t was when
his forces opened negotiations with King
county on the basis that they would
pledge thirty odd votes in the legisla-
ture for Piles for United States senator
if King would vote for the governor.
The proposition came very near being
accepted, but was finally vetoed. 1t is
doubtful whether Piles strengthened
his candidacy any by having those ll5
votes in his vest pocket to vote as he
pleased. True, with Pierce county, they
controlled the convention outside of the
Mcbride forces, but the convention had
nothing whatever to do with nominating
or electing members of the Legislature,
while Piles was sure to make many enc
mics by disappointing various counties
that got no places on the ticket. He did
not make a shrewd political move by
naming and manipulating the big delega-
cation, even though it was good thing
for Yakima county.

Another honor that came to Yakima.
which was unsolicited, was the naming
of Edward Whitson as chairman of the
convention. He made a fine presiding
officer. In the early hours of the lob
bying Mr.. Whitson was considerably
talked of for governor. but would not
consent to the use of his name Mr..
Jones could have had the governorship
by simply saying the word, but prefer
red to be renominated for congress. The
success and position of Yakima in the
convention excited much comment. Es-
pecially was this true from the counties
that secured nothing. The remark that
I'VE could have got anything we want
ed if we had been from Yakima" was
frequently heard and this county was
envied by all of them. From the start
it was for Mead for governor and had
much to do with the selection of that
gentleman At one time it seemed al
most certain that Senator Baker of
klickitat would be named and. while he
has been a good friend of this county

record would make him a weak candi.

1t was practical politics for Yakima
county to combine with the forces that
controlled the convention. If she had
not done so she would have had no place
on the ticket but congressman. And the
various steering committees. while they
were frequently denounced as having
too much power. were a good thing for
Yakima. They were also absolutely
necessary. Obviously. in a convention
of $50 members. it would be impossible

each other and ever reach an agreement

this fact, however, Mr.. Jones, in the
selection of the state ticket, was charg-
ed up to this county by the politicians
and wnen Yakima county also asked for
the nomination of Judge Rudkin for the
supreme bench and the naming OF George
Donald as one of the national delegates
they naturally thought we were draw
ing pretty heavily on the ticket. Judge
Rudkin's ability for the position, how
ever, was conceded from the start. The
lawyers of the state know him, hold
him in the highest esteem and were
unanimously of the opinion that he was
the best material before the convention.
Mr.. Donald's nomination was secured
through the hustling abilities of the
delegation from this county and the
fact that they were fortunate in being
able to make a combination with the
big counties. If that mad not been done
this county very likely, would have had
to be satisfied with the denomination of
Mr.. Jones.

1t looked to an outsider like poor pol
tiles not to put some of the Mcbride
supporters on the ticket, but under the
circumstances it could not be done. They
decided to ego down the line" with the
governor, even though they knew he was
defeated, and for that reason could not
be taken into any of the combinations
that named the ticket. If Mcbride had
released his Supporters it would have been
different But it was not known until
after the fight on the floor on the COM
mission plank that his name would not
be presented. Then it was too late. An
attempt was made by Spokane county
to break the slate by nominating Judge
Grove for one of the supreme court
vacancies, but his name was withdrawn
when it was apparent that nothing
could defeat Judge Rudkin. The fight
that the Mcbride forces put up for the
commission plank was a clean and able
one. 1t excited the admiration of the
bitterest enemies of the governor. Not
withstanding this. however, they were
relentless. Or. to put it in another way,
they had to stand by their friends and
reward those people who made up the
majority against Mcbride. In other
words, the minority forced the slate
making and after it was once made it
was too late for them to get in on it
is one of the misfortunes of politics.
There were some very strong men with
the Mcbride forces, several of whom
would have added strength to the ticket.
but it is a good ticket as it stands and

The judicial convention of the coun-
ties of Yakima, Kittitas and Franklin,
was short and sweet. 1t was held in
parlor A of the Tacoma hotel Wednes-
day night. H. b. Scudder was the
chairman. The Hon. Ira p. Englehart
of this city was nominated by accla-
nation, mis- name being put before the
convention by f. i. Boardman. Austin
Mires of Kittitas was an aspirant for
the honor and would have had the sup
port of his delegation, it is said, had
there been any chance for him. But
this county had 10 votes against IL of
the two other counties combined. It
could not be expected, under the cihcum-
stances, to surrender such an import
ant office as the superior judgesnip after
it had lost Judge Rudkin, especially with
such material available as Mr.. Engle-
hart. 1t was q wise action in Mr.. Mires

in the crowded hotel Hobbies, advised
with the delegation and thus did good
service. With this force added to the
delegation there were nearly forty Yak
amaites at work and they made their
presence and influence felt. Prince Har-
ris of Prosser was Yakima's member of
the committee on credentials, Capt.
Dunn on rules, order of business and
permanent organization and Lee A.
johnson of Sunnyside on resolutions.
This was the most important committee
and Mr.. johnson made hard fight
during its sessions for the commission
plank. At one stage of the proceedings
the vote was a tie in the committee as to
whether the plank would go in or not.
Mr.. johnson is man of strong character,
fine education, of commanding presence
and good address. He would be a power
in any body of men. Prof. B. F. Barge,
the Oldest republican on the delegation,
was very properly chosen as the men,

TERRIBLE SUFFERING
THIS YOUNG WOMAN APPEALED
IN VAIN FOR HELP.
When Hope Had Almost Settled Into
Utter Despair Relief Came from
an Unexpected Source.

There is no Sadder sight than that OF
young wife crippled by dis ase on the
threshold of married life Mrs. Emma
Heidebreder, of No. 1923 Joy street, Bur
lington, Iowa, whose husband is an en-
ploye of the Rand Lumber Co, tells a
story of pitiable suffering lasting in its
acute stage for nearly two years. For
about five years" she says, Il had host
of physical ills that kept me an invalid
and puzzled the doctors. Some of them
thought L was going into consumption.
At times l was so weak that l could not
comb my hair or even wash my face.
Then excruciating pains ran suddenly up
my thigh and l had to be carried to bed
screaming in my agony. 1 could no long
er do my work and the drain upon my
husbands purse was very heavy. L
craVed food but what l ate only gave me
discomfort. My liver was torpid, and Of
ten | had to be carried to the door for
air to save me from suffocating.
THE worst was the pain which seemed
as if my thigh were being pushed out
of my body. Tbs best doctors could do
was TO deaden it by narcotics. Once
they thought l could not live for more
than two days. When my husband was
telephoning for the doctors to come, in
one OF my worst attacks, a friend said:
Why don't you try Dr. Williams Pink
Pills; they are the only thing that has
ever helped my rheumatism?
Il took his advice. After using one
box l felt better, and continued to use
the pills for three or four months with
steady Improvement until I was well.
For four years l have been able to do
all my household work, and no longer
have to take medicine for any serious
trouble. l am anxious to tell about my
