Edwin Lefevre's article on Hartman

"A man who is perhaps Mr.. Hartman
closet associate said once, when his
partnor suggested that some friend og
Mr.. Hartman ought to speak to him
frankly on the unwisdom Of his lack
Of tact: Friend? 1 don't believe that

Was Called Back.

Postmaster Harrison. of Spokane,
who accompanied Congressman Jones
on his visit up river Saturday, re-.
ceived a telephone message at one
of the up-riyer stations and returned
to Wenatchee on yesterdays boat,
taking the evening boat for Spokane.
'"The message stated that my pres
|ence in Spokane was urgently desired
by Monday morning" said Judge
Hartsen to World reporter. "and
I'm on my way back now"
There was some mild speculation
among local politicians as to the rea-
son for Judge Hartsen's trip up river
with Yakima Jones. Jones Is a
strong man throughout the state, and
is the power behind the throne Of
postoffices in Eastern Washington,
and this fact may have had something
to do with the Spokane postmaster's
excursion with the congressman.

MADE TO EAT
WORMY APPLES
Great Northern Passengers Can Buy
Only Had Fruit-Abuses at
Depot Disgust Public.

This towns greattst claim to fame
is based on its reputation as fruit
producing center.
People passing through here on the
trains always look forward to feast
of fruit at the G. N. station at this
season of the year.
To accommodate them and exploit
our valley products among the trav-
cling public fruit stands were estab-
lished at the depot and the privilege
farmed out to private parties.
There is nothing wrong with the
system-provided the right kind of
fruit were kept on display.
Only Culls Offered.
To the average citizen of Wenat-
chez who knows what good fruit
really is the culls and wormy speci-
mems offered for sale to Great North
ern passengers is libel on the val
ley.
1t is injuring Wsnatohee to per-
NIT such fruit to be offered for sale
under the name "Wenatchee Fruit"
and it is up to the fruit growers as
sociation or the Commercial Club to
raise the question with the great
Northern. and ether compel the con-
cessiOnaire to put in better stock
of fruit or else deny him the privi-
lege of doing BUSINESS.
This matter has been brought to
the attention of the Daily World sew
eral times. Only Saturday three lady
passengers descended from the train
and made their way to the fruit
stand, intending to make some pur-

North Central Washington May Supply
A Congressman-The Republican
City Ticket Crystalizes
Tomorrow Night

Wenatchee is bigger place on the
map than she was a few years back
Politically her Importance is far from
microscopic.
She is the political center of vast
territory whose number of voters is
increasing each year by leaps and
bounds; and the political leaders Of
the state are awake to the fact that
it is not expedient to depreciate We
natchee's position as factor in state
affairs.
Within a week now we have had
and shall have had no less than half
dozen state officials in our midst,
from the Governor down.
There are other reasons than our
salubrious climate and palatable
fruit why these leaders of the people
are among us. They are wise in
their own generation, and have seen
the handwriting on the wall. To
them, as to us, it is plain that We
natchee has become the political CEN
ter of North Central Washington, be-
sides practically standing for the
sentiment of Chelan county.
A Local Congressman.
In times past. the congressional
resentative of Eastern Washington
has been chosen from other sections
of the district Spokane even now
has three or four proposed success
sors to Yakima Jones, and another
will probably bob up in Southeastern
Washington. To lover of fair play
it would seem that North Central
Washington should shortly come into
her own; that some good man from
Okangan, Douglas or Chelan county
should be, sent to Congress as the
peoples representative. Yakima
got hers in Wesley Jones, who
made an efficient representative and
whose record has demonstrated him
to be the peoples wisest choice in
the coming senatorial contest. Spo-
kane has not been overlooked; she
has had the lions share of the poll
The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1907-10-14

tical plums of Eastern Washington.
And it seems only fair that the three
counties enumerated, Douglas, Okla
nogan and Chelan. should be- consult
ed and given a voice in che naming
of the next Republican congressional
candidate for Eastern Washington.
The City Pot.
Local politics are simm,ring lively
with the near approach of the munich
pal election. Harry Manchester has
filed his petition as a candidate for
the Office of city treasurer. 1t is be-
lieved that William Grimshaw will
stand as the Republicans choice for
city attorney, and his strength with
the party and standing In legal cir
cles and among the people will prob
ably insure hds election. AS candi-
date for city clerkk, Sam R. Sumner.
the present incumbent, undoubtedly
has what is commonly known as e
; everybody wants him again.
Who shall be mayor is still an un-
certain question.
Tomorrow night a general meeting
of Republicans will be held at the
court house, and a platform as drawn
by committee of local party leaders
will be submitted for discussion and
approval. Very soon thereafter the
people will know the Republicans
choice for mayor.
Whether. the Democrats will run a
candidate on strict partisan lines is
not known, nor have they given out
intimation as to whom they shall Sc
lect. The name of o. B. Fuller is
persistently mentioned as the Demo-
Gratis choice, though he is under
stood to have declined it.
However. the time is getting short,
and Wenatchee will soon know the
name of the man decided upoc by
each party as most likely to prove
the peoples choice and at the ssme
time best qualified to- hold the war
ring factions together for the coming
battle next year.
