The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-07-10

brought in partial returns which were
read to the crowds.
Had Jolificaton Meeting.
The first precinct to complete the
counting and send in returns was
Steptoe, and the last was Stevens.
When all the returns were in a large
crowd of Kellough and Brown sympa-
thizers formed procession and,
headed by some of the leaders, they
marched up and down Main street
shouting with glee. Firecrackers were
burned and pistols fired off by the en-
thusiastic people who had won a vic
tory
Following the parade the crowd
packed the Senate saloon from the
front door to the alley in the rear and
engaged in a bacchanailan revel of
joy, booze and exultation. The regular
force serving drinks was not large
enough to satisfy the raging thirst of
the enthusiastic crowd and several of
the Boxer leaders got behind the bar
and filled glasses as fast as they were
emptied and that was by no means
slow. One or two church members
and temperance reformers who sup
ported the Boxer candidates were
swept almost against their will from
the street with the throng into the
saloon and as they stood helplessly
wedged in by the mass of bowling,
shrieking humanity, they gazed in
open -mouthed astonishment at scenes
which they had never before witnessed
or hardly dreamed Of During the
saturnalia Boxer leaders were hoisted
on the shoulders of the cheering crowd
a speakers platform.
Speeches were made to the clink
of beer glasses by Harry H. Turner, F.
S. Dement,, Eugene Lorton, Joseph Mo-
hundro and others. Geo.; E. KellOugh,
gathered in the Senate saloon, where a
great jollification meeting was held.
Mounted on top Of the bar speeches
were made to the clink of beer glasses
by Harry H. Turner, Frank S. Dement,
and others. George E. Kellough, the
newly elected mayor, was brought from
his home and given his official intro
duction to some Of the peo-
pie whom he will rule for
the next year. He was raised
bodily to the counter where he made
his first speech of appreciation for the
vote given him at the polls. During the
addresses the speakers were frequent
ly interrupted by men in the crowd
who cheered and made maudlin re-
marks as some telling point was made
by the person making the speech. None
of the speakers in cOngratulating
those who supported Kellough and
Brown alluded to the church and tenn
perance people who almost unani-

dates. The crowd was assured that
the election of Kellough should not be
considered as a blow at Senator An
keny. but a rebuke for the machine
which is bossed by B. D. Crocker.

Among the 'notables' who were
present and started the applause when
the speakers made what was consid-
cred strong paints, were: Charles
! Gholson, Tom Mosgrove, Judge w. H.
Upton, Charles Kicker, Mort White

gan Scott, "Dago Mike" Tom Kerrick,

Extracts From Speeches.
Owing to the great amount of
shouting and loud talking of the
crowd it was impossible to secure a
complete report of the addresses, and
the following synopsis will have to
satisfy the many readers of the States
man:
! Kellough-"If we can't get water
through the new pipe line, Brother
Retzer can turn on the faucet and we
can have something better"
Mohundro-"This is the first time
that have taken any part In Walla
Walla politics." said Mohundro. Then
spving a Statesman reporter Mohun-
dro concluded by saying: "And l have
taken very little part in this cam
paign."
r11rner-"You all know Dement, he
has lived here for years, for years and
wears" Here the speaker became sc
overcome with an attack of hiccoughs
that he could not conclude his speech
Wanted News Suppressed.
