UNDER FALSE PRETENSES

One Harry Rosenhaupt, of Spokane,
who was in Walla Walla yesterday in
the interests of his candidacy for the
republican nomination for congressman
from the third district of this state, is
attempting to secure votes under false
pretenses. Rosenhaupt, who is said to
be a rather shrewd individual ap-
parently knows that he could not be
elected to congress on the republican
platform, and so he announces that he
is in favor of lot of things which his
party has denounced.
If Harry Rosenhaupt is a republican,
and he says he is, and he should by
any miSchance be elected to congress
he would go into the republican eau
Gus and he would vote for that immov-
able standpatter, Joe Cannon, for
speaker of the house. His party lead
ers wouldn't let him vote for guaran-
teeu DdIlh deposits, even II he wanted
to. His party leaders wouldn't let him
vote for the exclusion of Oriental la
Dor, even if he wanted to. His party
leaders wouldn't let him vote for the
revision or the removal of the tariff
on manufactured goods, even if he
wanted to.
Rosenhaupt is apparently trying to
get the support of the progressive ell
ement which has grown tired, awfully
tired of the inaction of the republican
majority in congress- If he should be
elected to congress-
But he won't.

MARRYING Mary.

When the models for her new cos
tunes in Marrying Mary" came from
Paris, Florence Gear was shocked to
find that each one OF them called for a
sheath skirt.
Il will never wear them" said the
little lady, never. never." And she
forthwith posted her own dressmaKer
to Paris to see what could be done
Madame was in Paris four days and
returned with notifications for each
one of the discarded models.

tings widout de split. But it eez too
bad, too bad. Mademoizelle she look
so fine in re sheath"
But mademoizelle was obdurate and
that settled it. And so the little lady
with a will of her own will have the
satisfaction of setting at least one
style for the Parisiennes-she will
wear four directoire gowns each

THE DEMOCRATIC LEADER.

In marked contrast to the efforts Of
the hide-bound republican newspapers
to make it appear that there is no is
sue before the American people in this
campaign save the personality of che
respective candidates, is an editorial in
The Advance, one of the leading relig-
ious weellies in the country which
has the following to say about Mr..
Bryan:
when William ]. Bryan was made
a candidate for the presidency IL
years ago by the democratic party he
was young and a comparative stranger
to the American people. Now, with
the exception of the men who have
been in the White House, he Is more
known than any other American, and
this is true at home and the world
around. Mr. Bryan has undoubtedly
spoken in more places on more occa-
sions and to more people than any man
OF his time. He has also been more
talked about both by his friends and
enemies than any other man except
the chief executive of the nation. The
photographers of the daily press, the
headliners, the special correspondents.

of the periodicals and the whole aggre-
cation of scribblers have never tired OF
saying mean things and good things
about him He has been the subject
and the object of about all that posi-
bly, can be put into human speech.
In speaking for himself, Mr.. Bryan
has been singularly frank. more so
than was justified by the code of pol
tiles. But his lack of artful reserve
has made it easy for everybody to
know what he thinks, and his mar
velous ability for expressing his senti-
ments and the transparency of his
language have brought his ideas as
clearly before the understanding as
is possible in the discussion of public
affairs William j. Bryan is known to
the country, this much must be said

looks upon him as a good man. And
the religious element sees in him a
brother in the faith Perhaps no other
candidate for the presidency ever be-
fore produced so great an impression
of being a religious man as Mr.. Bryan.
When he went around the world his

THE REPUBLICAN CHAIRMAN.

A rather interesting story having to
do with the appointments of a former
assistant postmaster general, Frank H.
Hitchcock, as chairman of the republi-
can national committee, is now
going the rounds. 1t is said
that Hitchcock was promised this po-
sition if he would cut loose from the
Cortelyou boom which he fathered
during the pre- convention DAYS and tie
himself up with the Taft fortunes.
1t wasn't expedent to name him i'm
mediately after the convention His
bold work with the steam roller" was
too coarse for that. The public con-
science was outraged by his perform
ance in Chicago. After having made
up fraudulent list of delegates he
went into the committee on credentials
and forced it's acceptance and those
injured were resentful and indignant
But all were certain Hitchcock would
be chosen in the end He is the sort
of man that is needed. He will rough
house the campaign is necessary.
Hitchcock was not a friend Of Taft
in the beginning of the preliminary
campaign. He pretended to be for
Roosevelt but was really for Cortelyou
and he carried his conspiracy so, far
that Roosevelt was compelled, by con-
siderations of decency, to publicly re-
buke him and put Cortelyou out of
the running. Then Hitchcock placated
Roosevelt and held his job by coming
out for Taft and because of his skill
at manipulation was made manager of
the campaign for the nomination. In
that capacity he wrought so well that
he was promised the more important
office of chairman of the national COM
mittee. The brutality of his methods
almost turned the tide against him but
IL was finally decided safer to take
him than incur his enmity.
Hitchcock is man without princi-
pies. Like the Hessians in the revolu-
tionary war he is a mercenary whose
services are in the market to be ac-
quired by the highest bidder. His Sc
lection to manage the republican cam
palgn means an orgie of corruption.
He will levy tribute on the trusts and
use hte funds obtained in violation of
law, for the prostitution of the elector-
ate. Without pride or opinion or hope
of reputation, he will take any chances
that promise success. Such men are
the despair of good citizenship and the
shelter of criminals. They pervert
power and debauch public life. No man
who affiliates with them ought to he
trusted and if there were no other
reasons for opposing Taft these are
sufficient

py-tempered man, a man with the
glad hand for everybody All men who
come in contact with him like him.
The correspondents of opposing news
papers have often found it difficult to
witchery of his companionship.
LAS to his ability, there is more
room for difference of opinion. But if
every man who doubts Mr.. Bryan's
brain power were to undertake to par
allel his success in maintaining the
leadership of his party in spite of de-
feat and the opposition of the element
controlled by the money power, with
no office, no political patronage single
handed, and by sheer force of person.
al influence, he would probably change
his opinion. 1t has been an achieve
ment almost without a parallel in the
history of American politics. Bryan
has brains and is a born leader. That
is why he was nominated for the third
time as the standard bearer of his
party. The great mass of that party
wanted him. He is as much a peoples
candidate as is possible for a party
leader
Mr.. Bryan has not had large ex-
elience in governmental affairs. 1t Is
true, and st is a drawback. But it was
also true of Lincoln. The great eman-
cipator of the nation in its most try
ing emergency had been in congress
but one term, not as long as the man
from Nebraska. 1t was also true of
Grant. The hero of Appomattox had
never held civil Office. Precedents,
therefore, are not seriously against the
