THE Republican campaign in this
~ county, so far as speechmaking
is concerned, was opened at Odd Eel
lows hall Wednesday evening by Con-
gresham Will E. Humphrey, Of Sc
attic, who delivered an admirable
address reviewing b, ,iefy the achieve
ments of the Republican party
ard especially some of the great
enactments which made the recent
session of congress one of the most
notable in the county's history.
1t was dark and stormy evening
and only day or two's notice of Mr..
Humphreys coming had been given,
but yet he was greeted by an excel
lent audience which gave him the
closest attention and expressed its
appreciation of his telling points in
frequent bursts of appaluse.
Referring to the work of the states
delegation in congress Mr.. Humphrey
said that appropriations aggregating
over s., 600, 900 had been secured from
the last congress for great public en-
terprises in this state, of which over
81, 10000 is to be expended in the
construction of an immense masonry
dry dock at. the Bremerton navy
yard; about 100000 in great irri-
CATION projects in eastern Washing
ton, and most of the remainder for
public buildings and sites, surveys,
lights and other much needed aids to
navigation The speaker referred
briefly to the new pure food law, a
measure of very great Importance;
to the act intended to prevent rail-
way rebates and other forms of rail-
way discrimination; to the new natu-
radiation law, effective on the 9th.
of this month; TO the admission of
Oklahoma to statehood ard to the
cons truction of the Panama canal.
In closing Mr.. Humphrey referred
regretfully to the factional differences
which have recently arisen in the Re-
publican party in this county, point
ing out the necessity of party organ
izations in the great scheme of gov
eminent and the great Importance of
party loyalty and honorable submis
sion to majority rule.
John L. Blair, candidate for joint
senator, made a short talk on local
matters and Gene c. Gould, candi-
date for representative, spoke brief
ly just by way of greeting to home
friends.
Hon. VIM. Bishop, of Jefferson
county, who was to have been here,
was unable to come. Mr.. Humphrey
went from here to East Sound where
he spoke Thursday evening.

the first of the week. He took some
fine views of English camp and also
one of the little island near the en-
tarnce to Roche Harbor bay which
from one point of view bears a strik-
ing resemblance to a battleship. He
also took picture of Speiden island,
ordered by Prof. Frye, of the state
university, who wanted it to show
the effect of the strong southwesterly
winds upon the forest growth in ex-
posed places. The south side of the
island, from the summit line to the
surrounding sea level, is almost en-
tirely destitute Of timber, while the
north side is covered with a heavy
growth. The same is true OF Bald
hill, near Friday Harbor.

ILL FIGHTS UNION PACIFIC
Tells Seattle Councimen He May
Enjoin Competitors
BY Associated Press


SEATTLE, July 17.-James J. Hill,
president of the Great Northern rail
road system, who is in this city on a
tour of inspection, appeared before the
corporations committee in the city
council and protested against the
route which had been selected by the
Union Pacific railroad for its proposed
entrance into Seattle.
1t was a representative meeting, all
of the railroad. civic and manufacture
ing interests being represented, and the
objections raised by Mr.. Hill and the
talk he made were listened to with
much attention.
He stated very frankly to the council
committee that he did not propose to
oppose the entrance of the Hartman
road into Seattle and gave as his
reason that there was traffic enough
for both roads. He said the Union Pa
cific route was Objectionable to the
interests represented by him. and if the
franchise asked for was granted tho
grade crossing would give the rival
corporation privileges which would al
ways be a menace to the city, the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific rail
roads.
He addressed the committee for more
than an hour, outlining the railroad
situa tiOn in Seattle, and after pointing
out what he considered a better route
came out flatfOOted and said if the
franchise as proposed was granted he
would contest the right of way in the
court.

BY Associa tea Tress.

CONCORD, n. H., July IA plat
form adopted by the Lincoln Republi-
can club at a meeting here was ac-
cepted by Winston Churchill who has
been mentioned as a candidate for gov
ernor of New Hampshire
The platform sets forth the desire of
the club for the enactment of laws pro-
hibiting the giving of free railroad
transportation, passes, mileage books or
special contracts to delegates of politi-
cal conventions, governmental officials
or other persons not properly entitled
thereto, a corrupt practice act which
shall prohibit political contributions by
corporations and require publicity of
campaign receipts and expenditures.
In his letter of acceptance Mr..
Churchill says in part;
II subscribe without reservation to
the several propositions today set forth
and would suggest that they be sub
mtted to the other candidates for gov
ernor. If they will all assent TO the
success of the cause 1t is assured, and
that is more TO me than any personal
consideration. In such event, if thought
desirable, / would gladly efface myself
on behalf of such one or the other can
ddates as the Republican club thought
