BE CONSISTENT

Have the readers of this paper
roticed that we never assume to
advise democratic voters as to
their duty?
When we have said anything
at all along this line it has al
ways been to urge them to
stick to their principles.
If you believe in the principles
of your own party, its past per
formances and its present prom
Uses you should vote the demo
cratic ticket and vote it straight.
We do assume that we have
the right, and we consider it
part of our duty to urge republi-
can voters to do their whole
duty when they go to the polls.
Are there any good and suf-
ficient reasons why republican
should not vote his ticket
straight?
There are just two, and only
two. Incompetency and dis
hanesty. If it has been proven
to your satisfaction that any
man on the republican ticket is
dishonest or incompetent, ac-
cording to our theory of party
ethics you are perfectly justified
in erasing that mans name from
the ticket. To scratch name
off for any other reason is to lay
yourself open to the charge of
inconsistency-of protesting to
be a republican and voting to be
a democrat, of talking like a
republican and voting like a
democrat. In short, putting
yourself in very foolish po-
sition, one to be laughed at and
made sport of, as is the editor of
The Wenatchee Republic.

TELL THE TRUTH AND SHAME
THE DEVIL

The following extract is taken
from the Wenatchee Republic
of October IL, 1906:
As The Republic said last
week: 1.-THE republican party
in Chelan county has fallen into
evil ways. 1t would saddle on
us domination by ring of
politicians, men who serve
themselves first aud the people
afterward. This cannot be en-
dured. The Republic wishes it
could reveal the names of these
men.
The above reads like an ex-
tract from Shakespeare. Our
memory turns to the meeting
between Jack Falstaff and
Prince Hal, when the former ex-
hibited his sword, which he
hacked into semblance to saw
blade in Staying seven men clad
in buckram.
The Falstatian reason for re-
fusing to name these evil doors
under compulsion will not salts
fly the readers OF The Republic
It's constant and oft repeated
allusion to a ring, without
scintilla of evidence to support
the assertion, must inevitably
lead to its being still further dis
credited by its readers.
Falstafian reasons and Fal-
stafian argument will not de
ceive the people any more than
they deceived the true Prince.

J. KING FOR REPR EsENTATIVE

OF the candidacy of Mr.. King,
since the county convention met
in Cashmere, and nominated
him, The Echo has had little to
say. Mr.. King is so we'll known
to the readers of this paper, and
he is so sure to get, not only the
solid vote of the republican
party, but a considerable per
centage of the democratic vote
that we thought our energy had
best be expended in ano Their
direction.
Nothing that The Echo could
add to what it has already said
of Mr.. King would make him a
single vote. Out of the 800
votes that will be cast in this
precinct Mr.. King will receive
between 225 and $50. If he re-
ceives the republican support in
other portions of the county, to
which he is entitled, his election
is assured by 500 majority.

WENATCHEE RIVER UP

of Logs. Washes Out New
bridge and Causes Kun
of Salmon

There was q fourfo0t rise in The
Wenatchee river last Friday caused by
heavy rains up in the mountains The
day and night previous. The hlgh
water brought down some ten or
twelve million feet of logs for the
Lamb-Davis Lumber Co.
The rise also started a run OF salmon
up the river All day Friday the
Siwash Indians and others were pull
ing salmon out of the river below the
dam with grab hooks. Two or three
wagon loads We're secured in this way
The river also washed out the false
work of the new bridge OF the road to
the Cascade orchards. The loss to the
contractor will amount to live or six
hundred dollars, and will delay the
completion of the bridge some three
weeks.

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

Owing to combination of
circumstances. to which it is I'M
necessary to refer in this con-
nection, three county commits
sioners are to be elected for this
county on the sixth of Novem-
Der.
In the past. unfortunately,
too little attention has been paid
to the selection of proper men
for these important positions.
1t is not only necessary to the
welfare of the whole comfy
that they be men of integrity
and sound business judgment,
but they should be selected with
a view to the proper represen-
tation of the whole county. Re-
mote portions of the county
have interests that are sure to
be neglected or treated with
slight consideration if the COM
missioners are selected from a
restricted portion of the county.
One of the very best things
that the Cashmere convention
did, one that should go far to-
wards bringing out and rallying
the united support of the re-
publican voters to the ticket
which that convention put be-
fore the county, is the character
of the three men it nominated
for commissioners. When taken
together with their location,
we submit that the selection can
not be improved upon.
Joseph Darnell, the repre-
sentative of the extreme north
end of the county is an old resi-
dent, a large tax payer, man
of unquestioned integrity and
proven qualifications.
w. A. Sanders, of Wenatchee.
possessing all the qualifications
of the former, together with a
long residence in Wenatchee
and a thorough familiarity with
the needs of Wenatchee and her
immediate surroundings.
II. w. Otis, of Peshastin,
three miles east of Leaven-
worth, is the representative
of the western portion of the
county in the commission
ers court. Mr.. Otis has not
lived in the county quite so long
as either Mr.. Darnell or Mr.
Sanders, but he has lived here
long enough to become thor
oughly identified and familiar
with the needs of this portion of
the county. He is a man of
sound Judgment, excellent bust
ness qualifications and a large
property owner.
Not one word can be said
against either of these men,
neither has ever held a county
office, and we know of NO reason
why they should not receive the
solid support of every republi-
can voter in the county.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1906-11-02
THE RING ARGUMENT


charge made by the Wenatchee
Republic that the republican
convention was controlled by a
ring, is so entirely without foun-
dalton, and the real facts are so
we'll known that we marvel much
at the temerity of The Republic
in making the charge.
We have been accustomed to
giving the editor of The Repub-
lie credit for a modicum of as.
tuteness and judgment.
In failing to make a distinction
between falsehood and fact, he
unquestionably does the cause
he would aid harm rather than
good.
To elect the democratic ticket
he must win to the support OF
that ticket at the very least cal
culation two hundred republican
voters, the normal republican
majority in Chelan county being
rather above than below -four
hundred. Without good and sui
ticient reasons republican voter
will support the nominees of his
party.
In trying to win over to the
support of the democratic ticket
the necessary two hundred re
publican voters the editor OF
The Republic charges that the
county convention was con
trolled by ring. Just note how
round, unvarnished tale will
dispose of this charge. The
facts stated below are within the
knowledge of every man who
has lived in the county long
enough to vote.
There was struggle for con
troll of the convention which met
in Cashmere, between the dele
gates from the west and the
north end of the county and the
delegates from Wenatchee. The
struggle was without acrimony
or bitterness. The west and
north end controlled the conven-
ton. Wenatchee was in the
minority.
Now it so happens that the
candidates on the republican
ticket whom the Wenatchee Re
public charges were nominated
by a ring were among the minor
ity in the Cashmere convention.
The ring charge, tho, is not
one whit more silly and devoid
of foundation than is the charge
of wrong doing against some OF
the present county officers.
Both charges are Pigments of
the editors imagination and rest
on his bare assertion. Not one
word of proof has ever been
offered. Not one specific charge
has ever been made, tho The
Echo has often called for facts.
Wherefore we revise our esti-
mate of the editor of The Repub-
lie and say he has neither judg-
ment nor shrewdness.
If the average voter had as
little of these two qualities as
the editor of The Republic his
method might change some, tho
not enough, votes to change the
result.
The methods of The Republic
are those of the tinhorn gambler.
1t plays the political shell game.
Now you see it, now you don't.
If this was the first time that
The Republic had spread out its
net to catch suckers-well, it
might win, but it's game is stale,
fat, and will prove Improbable.
Mark the prediction.
