NOMINEE MEAD ACCORDED
A HEARTY RECEPTION
Future Governor Greeted By Large and
Enthusiastic Crowd-Made Many
Republican Votes.

There were nearly a third more actual
house last Wednesday evening than on
the occasion of Mr.. Turner'S speech. the
crowd being a great deal larger and the
small boy less in evidence. After every
seat in the house was taken fully 200
were turned away by their inability to
get seats. The meeting was under the
auspices of the young mems republican
club, City Attorney j. O. Gull acting
as president of the evening. a cam
paign glee club sang two or three well
received songs. and Mr.. Gull. after a
brief speech introduced Attorney w. T..
Dovell of Seattle, an able orator, who
spoke on national and state issues. In
his discussion of the latter he answered
in a convincing and complete way the
arguments and malicious charges of the
democrats in regard to the nomination
of the republican state candidates at the
Tacoma convention. Passing to the
subject of railroad taxation he proved
conclusively to all who were open to
conviction tina the railroads came near
er to paying their just share of taxes
than in any of the individuals and cor
portations of the state. He defed any
one in the audience to disprove this as
sertion, and gave an ample opportunity
for contradiction. which was not seized
by any of the opposition, though some
of the democratic party's most able de-
baters were present.
Mr.. Mead's address was brief; the au-
dience were so deeply interested that
they would gladly have listened to him
for twice the length of time he occupied.
But brevity was far from being its only
recommendation. He is forceful. mag
netic and convincing speaker whose ar
yuments are based on logic and fact. and
no democrat has been heard to say that
he made any attempt to dodge issues or
evade the arguments of mis- opponent,
Judge Turner. Interest in his speech
centered in his remarks on the railroad
defined his position so clearly and sat
isfactoriy that there is no doubt now
of the assertion that the nope of the
people of Washington for railroad
commission lies in clecting a republi-
can governor and a republican legisla-
ture. Applause was frequent and
hearty, and would have been more so
had he given the audience time to APP
plaud his telling hits before hurrying
on to other points. In substance his
speech is as follows:
at is plasure and an honor to visit
this prosperous and thrifty center of
the irrigation district of the state OF
Washington and to realize that on &C.
count of the splendid economic condi-
tions that have prevailed in this coun-
try since the republican party were
given control of the affairs of the nation
that this portion of the state has had
a phenomenal growth. While mem.
Der of the state legislature in the SEES
sion of 1893, l had the honor to act in
harmony with one of your substantial
citizens, Representative Weed, in stand
ing for the re election of the Hon. John
b. Allen to the United States senate
The people of this state still have cause
to regret the fact that that legislature

NEW WAY TO HATCH CHICKS.
Hlenry Decker UtiIzes the Heat Gen.
Grated by Bees.


Grated by Bees.
Henry Decker Of Hartsgrove, Ohio,
has Il new and novel way of Matching
chickens and enjoys the reputation of
being the first man to use this kind
OF an incubator. He uses the heat
generated by bees, and says that he
can hatch 100 Chicks" from 100 fer
tile eggs in nineteen days.
This beats the old hen by two days,
and every farmer who knows how to
handle bees might profit by this sug-
gCsti0n. If one colony of bees cGn be
made TO do the iacubating work of
eight or nine hens, and also produce
from l40 to tGO pounds of honey
which MIR. Decker says is possible

State Was Flooded With SpeakeI

New York, Sept. 1.-THE following
statement concerning the result in
Vermont and issued by Chairman
Thomas Taggart of the democratic
national committee tonight and was
Concurred in by VIM. f. Sheehan.
chairman of the executive committee,
and Delaney Ncol. vice-charman:
THE result in Vermont is not sur
prising in view of the unparalleled
efforts made by the republicans and
the campaign conducted by the dem
Ucrats.
The administration concentrated
all its forces and resources upon that
state, holding in the last week 200
meetings. The candidate for vice
president, the secretary of war, the
speaker Of the House OF Representa-
lives, senators of the u. S. and rep
rcsentatives in congress, assisted by
Il host of lesser lights, made urgent
to the republican farmers to
go to the polls.
In view of these efforts never made
before by any party in a September
election, il is remarkable that the
did not succeed in
the republican majority.
indeed, it did not even increase the
republican, VOTE
