How Grafters Fail Upon One.

If in. an evil moment the candidate
does wander into his own premises he
is pounced upon by the Enthusiastically
dressed crew and goes through hand
shaking experience which would test
the cordially of an octopus. One seedy
individual instantly drags him into a
corner and with laden breath pours
into his ear a tale of many votes
awaiting the officeseeker if he will bat
trust his fate in the hands or the
speaker; price $25. Still others show
where one precinct can be carried
for the trifling sum of $40. Alarming

And now comes the time when the
weary candidate for political hOnOrs
in Walla Walla county shuns his Of
flee and usual naunts as he would the
plauge and taking himself to little
travelled ways. goes gums hoeing
about the city with wary eye and
stealthy tread, exercising great care
as to whom he may approach and as
to what legal voters hand grasps his.
Friends with good intent may look
for the candidate and find him not.
Such friends may even camp upon
said candidates trail and sit patiently
waiting in the candidates office-but
the candidate cometh not. If II so
happen that the friend awaits the
coming of the aspirant in that gen.
tleman's office, he may observe divers
and sundry other persons carelessly
scattered about the premises doing
nothing in particular
Occasionally some of those on the
waiting list will be gathered in little
groups, passing the time of day and
discussing the political outlook And
one of them can be seen with pad
and pencil carefully noting down the
list of names of the men he controls"
or figuring speciously how this or that
man doesn't stand 1-2-3 with the
candidate who is paying the office rent.
Should the telephone ring, all ears
are set at angle in an endeaVOr to
comprehend something of what is
coming and going over the line. No
sooner does the doorlnob turn than
ali eyes also turn, furtively. or eagerly,
as the case may be. toward the APP
preaching person. If it be but an or
binary private citizen, the expression
of disappointment is so general on
the faces OF the waiting thrOng as to
affect appreciably the temperature of
the room.

Santa Fe
 All the Way

The Santa Fe is the only line with it's own rails from San Francisco and Los Angeles to Chicago.
 There are combinations of railways which join each other in forming through lines between these cities, but the Santa Fe is the only one under the same manage ment, and therefore the only one with uniformity of ser vice and undivided responsi- bility.
 When one starts on the Santa Fe he is sure to go through. Of course, delays may occur, but connections will never be missed, because none is necessary all the way through.
 The patronage accorded this line proves it's popular ity with travellers who want the best possible service on trans continental journey from
