POLITICAL LAUNDRY WORK

An inspection of the vote by
precincts discloses the fact that
several of the candidates on the
republican ticket owe their ma
iority to the loyal support which
the ticket received at this pre-
cinct. In the two Wenatchee
precincts the republican ticket
was badly scratched, Turner re-
ceiving q majority of II votes,
whereas this precinct gave Mead
a majority of 96 votes out of a
total of 268. When the republi-
can county convention meets two
years hence the delegates from
this precinct will go with the
vote in one hand and one of
President Roosevelt's big sticks
in the other. Not for the pur-
of bull DOING anybody, but TO
save that Wenatchee crowd from
itself. Perhaps they realize
now how near they came to put
ting the whole kettle of fat in
the fire. You cannot run rough
shod over a lot of men whose
help you must have to win.
For the reason that the Echo
thought it bad policy, and dc

The attention of the county
commissioners is again called to
the necessity of putting Com
mercial street 10 a condition SO
that farmers and others entering
the town from the east can get
in. The road heretofore used
by the public ran across lots that
are being fenced, and the streets
leading in from that direction
are practically impossible. There
are two streets leading into
town from the east, Commercial
street and Front street. The
latter is made impossible by a
rocky knoll and the former by
large rock, stumps and trees.

GOVERNOR ELECT MEAD,s POLICY

Elsewhere we publish this
week some extracts from Mr..
Mead's statement to the news
papers at Bellingham last Mon:
day. People of all shades OF
political belief must find some.
thing encouraging in his state
ment, if they are interested in
the welfare and advancement OF
the great state of Washington,
in the development of her won
derful natural resources. 1t
breathes the sentiment of a
man who will honestly and
earnestly endeavor to carry out
the will of the people.
1t will be remembered that he
made no demagogical promises
before the election as to what
he would do about the railroad
commission question and the alb
clifton of the legislative lobby,
a string On which his opponent
constantly harped. His friends
and supporters were sometimes
disappointed that he did not
state, in answer to Mr.. Turner,
where he stood on these two
questions. Now, that the cleo
ton is over, and lis sincerity
can no longer be questioned,
neither can he be accused OF
pandering to the voters, he has
promised to do all he can to
abolish the Ubiquitous Legislative
meddler and will recommend in
his message to the Legislature
the passage of a railroad com.
mission bill.
This bold stand on as import
ant a question as q regulatlve
commission will put to sham
those newspapers and speakers
who charged that he was in the
grip of the railroads and could
not and would not make a move
in this direction. On the other
hand it is a source of no little
satisfaction to those who con
tended that the republican
party, if intrusted with the
power, would pass laws in the
interest of the mass of peo-
pie even if they were inimical tc
the railroad interests.
The commission bill has not
been passed, nor has the med
dlesome iniquity known as the
lobby been abolished, but Mr..
Mead has shown where he
stands. 1t is now up to the leg
islature to do it's part.

Last spring when the ques-
