WILL NOT VOTE FOR CANNON
Judge Poindexter viii Support Any Repub-
Iican for Speaker Who FaVOrs
the Roosevelt Policy

Being interviewed in Spokane on
Wednesday as to how he stood on the
reelection of Cannon for speaker Of the
house of representatives, Hon. Miles
Poindexter said:
In my speech at Colfax last night
l stated positively that I was opposed
to the election of Cannon, and | have
made the same statement in other
speeches throughout the district" said
Judge Poindexter. IF I am elected
and Cannon is a candidate for re-elec-
ton as speaker, 1 will vote for any
other man who is a candidate for the
position, if he is representative of the
Taft-Roosevelt policies, regardless of
who he may be.
1T has also been charged that l
have not taken the people into my
confidence as to where I stand on the
question of postal savings banks, the
guaranty OF bank deposits and the ex-
clusion of oriental labor. The fact is
that I have frequently declared myself
on each of these subjects, and am on
record on all of them. l certainly
favor the postal savings banks, and
if elected will work for their establish
ment. AS to the question of guaranty
of bank deposits, this will not be an
issue if the postal savings banks are es-
tablished. With such banks the guar
anty Of bank deposits would become
unnecessary. AS to the exclusion of
oriental labor, have often declared,
and reiterate, that I am in favor Of the
strictest exclusion"

MISREPRESENTATION BY OTIS
County Records DisprOve His Published
Statement

A local news item in the Leaven-
worth Echo last week mentioned that
Commissioner Otis might print some
figures from his records this week.
Those figures, no doubt, will be great
surprise and revelation 10 the voters oi
the Second District if he uses the same
amount Of artful jugglery in compiling
his promised record-fgures, that he
used in compiling a two column article
for the Wenatchee World which was
printed Monday, September 7th, the
day before the primary election.
That article was written for the pur-
pose of making votes in portion OF
the county where Mr.. Otis record was
not so we'll known as in his own dis
trict, and his figures were more fiction
than facts, and if his promised record
figures are forthcoming, they will no
doubt be of the same character.
Mr.. Otis administration of the affairs
of his Office has been under fire for
more than four months and several
times he has been severely criticised
by correspondents in the Leavenworth
Echo for the unfair and self-servient
way in which he has expended various
road and bridge funds in the Second
District, and if the innumerable charges
and accusations that have been made
against Mr.. Otis during the past four
months are not true, why has he not
come forth and given the voters and
tax payers of his district an account
ing? Why does he wait till the eve of
election and then promise to publish
the records in the last issue of the
county newspapers before election.
Can it be that Mr.. Otis is afraid of his
own true record, and is fixing up
fictitious one for publication at date
which would make refutation through
the newspapers impossible until after
election? To give an idea of how
adeptly the figures were juggled in the
above mentioned article, we quote a
few of them and reproduce some of the
county records. In speaking OF the
distribution of the road fund of the
second district Mr.. Otis says:
THE lower end of the district, in
clubing Mission creek, Nahahum and
Olala canyons and both sides of the
Wenatchee river to the mouth of Estes
canyon, on one side and Peshastin
creek on the other have had $4,000.
"Peshastin and vicinity, $4,000.
"Leavenworth and vicinity, includ-
ing Red mountain and Wenatchee lake,
$4,000.
"Chiwaukum, 500.
ESTES canyon road, $445."
1t would take too much time and
space to print records to refute all of
the above figures, hence we will only
take up the Chiwaukum item. This is
the road that leads from Chiwaukum to
Mr.. Otis ranch on Mason creek, and
he says in his article that he has ex-
pended 500 on it. The following are
the monthly reports of Road Supervisor
w. w. Thomson, Chiwaukum road for
May, June and July, 1908, which are
now on record in the county auditors S
office giving names of persons employed
days worked and amount of wages
received:

present Tuesday night except council
man Featherstone.
In the matter of the claim OF Mrs.
Lindsey for damage to her fence the

that the contractor damaged her fence
they would allow her bill.
]. G. Fritz presented a bond and
application for saloon license, accom-
panied by check for $780, The license
was granted on condition that the bond
be perfected.
F. S. Jacobsen presented a petition
with some two hundred names affixed
praying the council to build the ele-
waited sidewalk from the Clifford hotel
across the gulch to Second street in
Raston's addition. The petition was
accompanied by a subscription list
amounting to over 5000 in contribu
tions, to be used in defraying the cost.
On motion the mayor appointed Coun-
cilmen Ruth and R. T. King a COM
mittee to employ Mr.. Gutherless to
make a survey and plans and specifi-
cations OF the crossing. 1t was also
decided at this time to adjourn to Fri
day night and take up the matter of
the crossing.
The following bills were allowed and
ordered paid:
Tumwater Light and Water Co.,
$11.O5.
Lamb-Davis Lumber Co., $2.85

The sidewalk ordinance, providing
for a sidewalk on the east end of Front
and Commercial streets was read a
second time and passed unanimously.
An ordinance making it obligatory
on property owners keeping their side
walks free from snow during the winter
was read the first time.
Councilman R. T. King submitted
an ordinance raising the saloon license
from $500 to $1,000. After the Or
dinance was read considerable discus
sion was had as to when the raise in
license should take effect. 1t was
finally decided that the new saloon or
dinance should go into effect from and
after its passage, but that the license
fee should remain at $500 until April
/, 1909, after which date the fee should
be $1,000 per year.
Councilman Woldenburg moved that
the marshal be instructed to notify all
the saloon men that from and after this
date no more women shall be permitted
to frequent saloons and for failure to
obey such instructions the license shall
be revoked without notice.
The clerk was instructed to publish
a notice of the city election to BE-. held
December 8.
1t was also agreed that the returns
of the bond election were to be can
vassed at the adjourned meeting Fri
day night.

Examined and approved by $112.51
H. w. Otis, August 10, 1908.
Now, what do these reports Of Mr..
Thomson, Chiwaukum road supervisor,
show us7 They show that during the
month of May $214.60 was expended
upon this road; during June $284.60,
and during July $112.51, or total Of
$611.71 which had been expended
upon this Chiwaukum road during the
past summer. Why does MIR. Otis
make this misrepresentation over his
own signature in regard to the amount
of money spent on this road leading to
his ranch on Mason creek? We make
no further comment upon these figures
of Mr.. Otis as compared to the
records, but let the reader draw his
own conclusions.
1t would also be interesting to the
voters of the Second District who earn
a livelihood by their days labor if Mr..
Otis would explain why he has been
working Japanese in the Chiwaukum
road crew on the county roads during
the past summer and why the Japanese
have been given the preference to
American citizens who are voters and
taxpayer of his district.
