vOvE FOR WHAT YOU WANT
II You Want a Railroad Commission You VIII
Have TO Vote the Democratic Ticket

There can be no possible hope OF "A
railway commission being enacted by
m. next session OF legislature except
through the election of the democratic
state and county tickets. Hence. 1t he
comes imperative that you elect the
democratic legislative candldates IN
this county to man. DO you want To
know WHY we make thi, assertion: II
60. read the following threat from the
republican state central committee
that is being sent broadcast all over
the state:
There will be a republican legislature. No
republican legislature will put into Turner's
hands, as governor, the power granted IN
the naming Of railroad commission. Because
Of these facts there is no reason why any re-
publican should vote for Turner.
There you have it, pure and simple.
Is it to your interests as an American
citizen and taxpayer, to support the re-
publican party, dominated a, it is from
center to circumference by the railroad
corporations of the state, and BULLDOG
ing voters into the support OF their
nominees by threats:
II you like that kind of politics, vote
for it,
On the the other hand, if You want
common decency and honesty in poll
tics you should vote the democratic
state and county tickets. Not only that,
but you should work for them as YOU
never worked before. Talk it, sing it,
pray for it, go to the polls and stay
there all day working to that end. 1t
will be worth more dollars and cents
to you than any days work you ever
did before in your life.
1t is absolutely necessary that you
work early and late from this hour un-
til the polls close on the evening of
November 9Th.
The fight is on and the victory, if
won, belongs to the bread " inners and
taxpayers OF Kittitas county.
viii you miss the opportunity OF a
life time to secure for yourselves legis-
iation that means thousands OF dollars
to the people Of Kittitas county:
Let your answer be NO, rounded out
by an overwhelming majority for the
democratic state and county tickets on
the 9Th day OF November.

SON The trainmen and employees OF
the railroad bring into Ellensburg every
month between fifteen and twenty thou
sand dollars. Many of them own their
homes and other property in the val
ley. Their property is taxed for cur
rent and improvement purposes the
same AS the rest OF the property hold
ers, yet they are not given a decent
sidewalk a petition was circulated
for new improvement district on
Seventh street. Part OF the property
holders agreed to share in the expense,
still there were others whose regard
for the almighty dollar was so great
that they could not lower their dignity
to acquiesce in proposition to improve
their property and incidentally help
the railroad people, yet it was possible
for other parts of the town to have new
sidewalks, where the travel was half
as great We would be pleased to see
this matter agtated and pressure
brought to bear on those responsible
for the existing state of affairs.
