Mammoth Deal Perfected.

A deal was completed in Augusta,
Ca, recently whereby five great oGm-
panies that have been doing business
in and around Augusta for several
years, passed into local control. The
companies concerned in the transac-
ton are The Augusta Railway and
Electric Company, which operates the
city trolley and suburban trolleys On
the Georgia side of the river, and
also the electric lighting for Aag,ls-
ia and Summerville, and the North Au-
gusta Land Company, and North Au-
gusta Improvement Company, the two
concerns that are developing a large
tract of land just opposite Augusta in
this state; the Hampton Terrace IIo-
tel Company, which owns the great
winter resort IN North Augusta
Heights, the Augusta-Aiken Company,
which owns and operates 80 miles OF
trolley system between Augusta and
Aiken, passing through all the mill
towns of Horse Creek valley in South
Carolina.
All Of these companies have here
tofore been owned and operated by
northern capitalists and Augustans
have been voiceless in the manage
ment
The new management has assumed
control. The deal amounts to about

THE ISSUE.

Shall the people regulate the cor
porations or shall the corporations
dominate the state?" asks the Cofax
COmmoner. That is the question before
the voters of Washington in the APP
preaching campaign and it is of such
overwhelming and far-reaching impor-
lance that it oVershadoWs and OBJ
scures all other issues. The repub-
lican state convention by its platform
and candidates has declared in favor
of the domination of the corporations
The railroad lobbyists were allowed
to run that convention and no action
was taken until it had been submitted
to and approved by the railroad man
ayers. More than a year ago Governor
Mcbride rebelled against the railroad
control of his party and declared war
on the lobby His challenge was
promptly accepted and he has been
crushed, as warning to others who
might dare to deny the divine right
of the railroads to rule the republican
party.
All the federal patronage will be used
| to strengthen the railroad machine and
if the lobby ticket is elected all the
state patronage for the next four
years will be available for the same
purpose and Washington will have an

DDS in control of that convention They
realize that the election of Mr. Mead
means the abject surrender of their
party to railroad influence and the
abandonment of all hope for any bene-
fetal railroad legislation for many
years to come. They realize that a
vote for Mr.. Mead is equivalent to a
reputation of Gov. Mcbride and the
principle for which he fought so GAL
lantly. They realize that the defeat of

politicians and a victory for the better
element of the party. They might have
endured the defeat of the railroad COM
mission bill by the last Legislature but
they will refuse to swallow the noxious
dose concocted by the lobby at Taco

old miner who was dining at city

A WIDESPREAD REVOLT.

The republican revolt in eastern
Washington against the domination of
the party by the railroad lobbyists is
widespread and it is growing worse
every day. Following is a list of influ-
entail country weekIies that have join
ed the Spokane Spokesman Review in
regulating Boss Farrell'S ticket:
Lincoln County Times.
Wilbur Register.
Odessa Record.
Almira Outlook.
CreStOn News.
Sprague Times
Coulee City News.
Connell Statesman.
POmerOy East WashingtOnian.
Cotton Newsletter.
Other country weeklies are giving the
ticket only nominal support and some
of them are likely soon to throw up the
sponge and come out boldly for Tur-
ner and a railway commission. In
western Washington also there are
many signs of revolt from corpora
ton rule and it is safe to say that
twenty per cent of the republican vot-
ers on that side will vote the demo-
cratic state ticket. This year the para
mount consideration is not whether the
republicans or the democrats shall gov
ern the state, but it is whether the cor
porations or the people shall rule. The
elections of 1896 and 1900 proved the
strength of the independent vote of
this state and unless all signs fail the
phatic this year by the overwhelming
reputation of Boss Farrell's ticket.

WHICH SHALL 1T BE?

Boss FarrelIs man Mead says that
if elected governor he Will sign any
railway commission bill that may be
passed, but he will not recommend the
passage of such a law. Mead knows
that there is hardly a possibility of
commission bill being passed by the re-
publican senate with its railroad hold
overs ana he knows that a republican
victory in the state next November
would mean a strengthening of the
party majority i'm the upper house But
if by amy accident a commission bill
should get through the legislature and
be signed by the governor, there is no
reason to doubt that he would consult
his boss and mentor j. d. Farrell, be-
fore appointing the members of the
commission. Under such influence it is
certain that the commission would be
made a farce, a kissing and a byword
II is not unlikely that the railroads
would be willing to have such a COM
people to think that the promised bene-
fits of a commission law We're after all
a delusiOn and a snare. But the ad-
vOcates of railway commission will
be too wise to intrust their cause to a
candidate for governor chosen by the
sworn enemies of a commission. AS
well might wolves be expected to pro-
tect lambs
In George Turner the democrats will
present to the voters of the state a
candidate for governor who is a plat
form in himself on the question of a
railway commission and on all other
questions concerning the proper regu-
lation ana control of corporations.
Dave Larimer in the Spokesman Re
view thus summarizes the record of
Judge Turner as a member of the con-
stWtonal convention of 1889:
old residents of the state recall the
fight waged by Judge Turner in the
constitutional convention of 1SSq-11
years ago-n behalf of the principle
Of state regulations; and they likewise
recall that since that time he has main
tanned consistently the position which
Won for him laurels in that convention
which Laid the foundations of Washing
tons statehood
