Socialists must Put Up to Have
Names Printed On the Ballot

That the section of the direct prim-
ary law providing that candidates shall
pay fee for filing their names with
the county auditor is unconstitutional,
is the personal belief of Prosecuting
Attorney Rupp who has filed with the,
county auditor his written opinion rel
ative to the filing of the socialist tick
ct without paying the fee Attorney
Rurp is of the opinion that the names
may be accepted by the auditor, but
that they could not be placed upon
ballot until the fee had been paid
The opinion is in part as follows:
Section 26 of the last named act
provided that any political party
which at the last preceding election
cast 10 per cent of the votes may
nominate candidates in the manner
provided by existing laws for conven-
tions. 1t further provides, however,
that no candidates name shall be
printed upon the election ballots until
he shall have paid the fee provided by
law to be paid by candidates to be
nominated at primary elections for like
Offices.
L am of the opinion, therefore, that
any party which cast less than 10 per
cent of the votes at the last preceding
election may file it's list of nominations
in your office within the time provided
by law without the payment by the
candidate of the filing fee. You can

Queen City Business Men
Enjoyed WdIId WdIId Visit

One hundred and four members of
the Seattle Chamber of Commerce to-
day enjoyed the whole-souled hospital
ity of the Garden City Of the west.
They were kept busy sight seeing un-
til 1870 o'clock this morning when
they were escorted to the state peni-
tentiary to be the guests at luncheon
of Warden Reed. Starting at $3.50 this
morning, the delegation was taken on
the street cars for ride about the city
visiting the principal points of inter-
est, and stopping for a view Of the
buildings of Whitman college.
The entire delegation left the cars
at the college grounds and were given
an opportunity of inspecting the build
ings, campus and athletic field of what
is soon to become once of the greatest
educational institutions of the west.
After leaving the college, a short run
on the interurban line was made, the
B1alock fruit farm being the principal
point of interest to the Seattle men.
Business men of Walla Walla tossed
their cares and worries of every-d day
life aside and put all their energy into
showing their distinguished visitors
good time. Officers of the CONNER
cial club, and Mayor Eugene Tausick
acted as escort in the trip about the
city, and were present at the luncheon
given by Warden Reed.
Met BY Many.
Several hundred business men of
the city gathered at the O. r. & N.
station at o'clock last night to well
come the Seattle visitors who arrived
in their special train from Wallula, af-
ter having visited Portland and other
cities of the Pacific northwest. Chair
man 3. G. Holt, of the reception COM
mittee, assisted by the directors of
the local club, welcomed the visitors
and escorted them to the train of cleo
trio cars which were in waiting to
transfer the visitors to the CONNER
cial club rooms. where a reception,
program of addresses and a smoker
were enjoyed.
Enthusiasm was much in evidence
as the magnificent train pulled into
the yards. and the lusty cheers of the
crowd, combined with the patriotic
strains of the Walla Walla Concert
band made a scene of activity which
proved beyond all doubt that the busi
ness men of the Garden City were full
ly alive to their opportunities, and
were making the best of them.
From the depot the delegation of 100
Seattle business men was taken on
the electric cars to Fourth and Main
streets. from where they marched in
body to the elegant new quarters
of the Commercial club in the city
hall w II. Kirkman and a number of
members of the club, acted as a re-
ceiving committee at the club rooms,
and made the visitors feel perfectly at
home From the station to the busi-

Senator As Entertainer.
Senator Cores meeting, the opening
meeting in Spokane of the democratic
national campaign, was attended by
an audience of upward of $500 people,
mlany of whom were women. The SEN
ator was introduced by Judge George
Turner who presided over the meeting,
and spoke for nearly two hours amid
constant bursts of uproarious applause
and laughter. While never leaving for
more than a minute or two at a time
his discussion of the issues of the ma
tional campaign, he interspersed his
address with sallies of wit and hu-
NOR of such frequent occurrence that
one burst of laughter would hardly
subside before the audience was con-
yulsed with another.

you know to be a Standard Oil pine
line franchise in our territory ana fast
en- it On our new state by provision of
the statehood bill? Will Hearst or the
president please answer?
Il would also remind the president
that the company tried to enlarge it's
rights so as to include a gas we'll as
an oil privilege. That 1 defeated. and
even last April, Mr.. President, your
secretary of the interior tried to help
the Standard Oil gas privilege against
my protest by actually granting them
franchise to lay an interstate gas
line also.
Unions Approved His Veto.
The president comes to the local
affairs of the state and assails me for
vetoing child labor bill
True, l did, simply because the bill
went too far and included things not
desired by our people. Union labor
representatives approved my veto. I
hope the president will survive this
veto of local bill and permit us to
run our local affairs
1.-The president complained that we
removed certain professors of our state
university, three state normal schools,
and primary schools, in violation of
civil service rules That is, the presi-
dent in his usual impetuosity and
reckless disregard of others, misstates
the facts
The president complains that there
are several suits pending aginst me
to reclaim Creek Indian lands The
president should have gone further
and said that I was not a dealer in
Indian land, and only came in as a
subsequent purchaser and only Incl
IDENTIFY a party without personal in
tereSt at all.
In short the president and Mr..
Hearst picked the wrong man. and are
now driven into ward politics, rather
than surrender like men.
AssaiIs the President
1.-THE president assumes that all
Oklahomans are grafters because his
theoretical associates justified that
name; that all ex-railroad contractors
are bad because Paul Morton needed
his protecting arms; that we all in
Oklahoma violate civil service law
just because Mr.. Roosevelt removed
the best United States marshal we, ever
had the only reason being that he
voted for a good democrat instead OF
a bad republican, and then appointed
his cousin to fill the vacancy
LAS to the representatives of labor,
and the child-labor bill and my work
in the interests of labor / challenge
even you, Mr.. President to compare it
with your own record-a record mostly
of talk only. l do things, Mr.. President,
not talk only.
Knowing all these things, the pres
ident must pardon us for thus taking
issue with the occupant of the high
Office We all respect. Let us hope that
in the future he will appreciate, and
preserve it's dignity and not try to re-
fleet upon the character of humble
citizens. We fail to concede his false
position when he knows it is false.

It's False and Roosevelt Knows
It's False Says Governor Haskell

GUTHRIE, Okla, Sept. 24.-Gover-
r.tr c. N. Haskell last night issued a
statement in reply to President Roose-
,.e,,'s letter to William ]. Bryan, deal
inc with four specific charges against
Governor Haskell, that he is subser-
liant TO Standard Oil, that he vetoed
, child labor bill, that he dealt in
5rask Indian lands and that he had
allowed politics to dominate him in
the removal of members of the faculty
Of the state university and the ap
,DDointment of others to succeed them.
Statement by Haskell.
Governor Haskell's statement in
p3rt, follows:
President Roosevelt's letter is be-
fore me- and while this is the first
time in my l'fa / have been made the
subject of sbinet meeting l am
thankful for he. distinction, and I wish
to express my high regard for the office
Of president al / my profound respect
for the wisdom of our fathers in max
ing IL possible to change the occupant
Of that high office every four years,
without the right granted to crown
prince TO succeed the king.
Il assert that it is fair for me- to
assume that if my case was to be dig
nified by an all-day cabinet meeting
that beyond question Mr.. Hearst and
his campaign associate, President
Roosevelt, left no stone unturned to
blacken my character. That being true,
they certainly raked Ohio fore and aft
concerning the Ohio Standard Oil
cases of 1899 and finding absolutely
nothing rejecting on me, the president
tried TO waive his charge of last Mon
day aside by saying he will make no
allusiOn TO that He drops this sub
iect because his original statement was
untruthful and he must know from
what he and Hearst tried to find in
Ohio and failed that spoke the truth
when l said I never in all my life had
any connection Or service with that
company.
Il say the president knows now that
my statement is true and / regret that
he tries to brush it aside without doing
me justice. Were 1 to adopt the char
acter of language SO commonly used
by the president / would show it in
fewer letters than falsehood.'
Mr.. Roosevelt, I hope to speak in
Ohio soon. May l hope to divide the
time with some partizan of yours or
Prince William. who will defend your
action in this instance?
Explains Acts In Oklahoma.
President Roosevelt comes to Ok
l3homa and finds substitute for his
ohio failure. Does he, in the case Of
the state against the Prairie Oil & Gas
company, which he complains I COM
pelled TO be dismissed?
Yes l did have it dismissed. Yes,

Is Standard Oil company offspring,
