OLYMPIA. WASH Sept. 21.-When
the republican state convention which
convened at Tacoma May II last re-
fused by vote Of 211 to 1888 to insert
in its platform a plank declaring for
the regulation of railroads it reversed
fhe position which has been occupied
by the republican party in Washington
ever since the state was admitted to
the union in 1889. Preceding republic
can state conventions had been con-
tro!Ied to a greater or less degree by
the railroad forces of the state, but
never before has the party gone to the
people of Washington on Il platform
which ala not contain n railroad plank.
Never before in the history of the
state has there been such a complete,
open and notorious domination by a
convention Of any character by forces
seeking only personal and private ends.

MEETING OF FRIENDS
Much Interest Manifested In Report o
Peace Committee.

RICHMOND, Ind. Sept. 27.-The In
diana Yearly Meeting of Friends has
begun it's annual meeting here and will
continue for ten days. Many matters of
interest are to come before the meet
ing this year. The reports of the WORK
in the mission fields of Cuba and of
other foreign lands will be of eXcep-
tiOnal interest. Much interest is mani
tested also in the report of the peace
committee because of the present wars
and the general unsettled condition of
international affairs. Another matter
of importance before the meeting is the
selection of a new clerk. Among those
prominently mentioned for this honor
is President Mills of Earlham college.

as secretary. The platform Of that year
declared:
Platforms of 1896.
We emphatically demand the enact
ment of such legislation as Will secure
just and equitable rates to the pro-
ducts OF the farm and all industries of
the state awarding justice alike to the
producer and to the common carriers"
The democratic ana populist parties
were equally emphatic in demanding
legislation of this character. and at
the same time much more specific in
their promises of such legislation The
democratic platform adopted at Ell
Iensburg said:
We will reduce the burdens laid
upon production by the greed of trans
portatiOn companies aided by IeglSla-
ton purchased from republican legis-
latures. To this end We favor law
providing freight rates not exceeding
those of the Helm bill
The popuist convention at Ellens-
burg in 1896 said:
I'VE demand the enactment into law
of the following propositions:
lessened freight, passenger, telephone
and telegraph rates within the state
Incensed at the repeated failure of
republican legislatures to carry out the
promises repeatedly made by republic
can conventions of arte reduction the
people in 1896 turned the state govern
ment over to the fusion forces The fu-
sion Legislature of 1897, elected in 1896
passed the rate reduction bill drawn
by Judge George Turner, despite the
persistent opposition to the measure
of practically all of the republican
members Of both houses.
Criticism has been passed on the fu-
sion Legislature for not passing a rail
road commission bill But no railroad
commission bill was promised the peo-
pie of the state by the fusion forces
! Nevertheless an effort was made by
in the Legislature. led by Judge Tur-
ner, to secure the passage of such a
measure, and it would have been sue
cessful had it not been for the oppo-
sition to the measure of a few of the
fusion members of the legislature, and
the unanimous and persistent opposi-
ton Of all of the republican members
in both houses.
Again in 1898 the republican state
convention promised the people of the
state relief from excessive and burden
some freight rates. The state nomin-
ating convention of that year was held
at Tacoma Sept. %. T. P Fisk of Cow
litz county presided as permanent
chairman and f. D.. Gibson of Adams
was secretary. The platform contained
this plank:
Republican Platform of 1898.
I'VE recommend the enactment Of a
law INat VIII cOmpel common carriers
at junction and terminal points to
transfer cars, and we demand
reasonable regulations by the legisla-
ture Of freight and passenger rates in
this state"
The fusion state convention held at
Ellensburg, Sept. that year also prom
ised such relief to shippers in this
language:
We demand adequate protection for
the people of this state against rail-
road monopoly by the passage of just
laws governing freight and passenger
rates and we specifically demand a
three cent per mile passenger rate and
