The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1904-05-18

Hon. Ira p Englehart, nominee for SUI
perior Judge of this district. Judge En-
clehart's address was brief, but ap-
propriate. He warmly thanked the del
egates for the honor accorded him and
said he would not attempt to make a
speech. 1t was the ambition of every
lawyer to reach the bench and if, after
serving in that capacity, it could be tru-
ly said that he had been just and hor-
est Judge, this was an honor more pre-
cious than money could purchase. If
elected he would endeavor to have this
said of him.
Judge Rudkin's remarks were along
the same lines. He spoke feelingly of
the honor of being called to the supreme
bencn of this great state and of the
honor that had been done him by the
people of Yakima county. He was
grateful for it and. whatever might
come to him in future years, wherever
his lot might be cast, he would always
cherish and have a warm spot in his
heart for the people of this county;
they had given him his START he appre-
ciated the responsibilities of the posi-
ton to which he aspired and would use
his best endeavors to faithfully per-
form them.
At this point Mrs. L. II. Roberts sanc
a solo that was much appreciated, wnen
VIM. NJ. Thompson made a few remarks.
He was not member of the delegation
to the Tacoma convention, he said, but
he was present as spectator; he had
observed how hard the delegation had
worked; he had heard expressions from
all over the state as to the character
and ability of the candidates that Yaki-
ma county was supporting and was
proud to say that nowhere in this state
could their superiors be found.
w. w. Robertson's address was con
fined. chiefly. to the character of tfe
entire ticket nominated at Tacoma,
With one exception he had known fo~
years the various candidates for state
offices and could truthfully say that
they were good men; that they We're
capable in every respect and that there
was no doubt of their election. Mr.
Robertson also spoke of the unanimty
of the Yakima delegation. how it had
worked together. without friction; there
had not been an unkind word or an m
generous Thought. so far as he knew
between the members.
T.. l.. Boardman followed Mr.. Robert
son in a short talk. The work of the
delegation at Tacoma. Mr.. Boardman
said. mad been made easier on account of
the character and ability of the candi-
dates from Yakima county; the conven.
ton naturally wished to nominate the
best men and had very sensibly turned
to this county for them. Mr.. Boardman
was gratified, he said, that the members
of the delegation to Tacoma. in spite
of the differences between them that had
been manifested in the primaries and
county convention, mad worked together
in perfect harmony. 1t should teach the
republicans of this county lesson; that
lesson was harmony and united action
in this campaign. which would result in
Yakima county giving 1000 majority for
I the republican ticket.
After charming piano solo by Miss
Jessie Patton, Prof. B. F. Barge was
called on and made one of the best ad-
dresses of the evening. 1t was the quail.
ity of the candidates that this county
mad offered the state at Tacoma which
had accomplished the results attained !;
this county was noted everywhere for
the quality of all its products; they are
superior to those of other portions of
