Railroad Regulation.

We assert the right of congress to
exercise complete control over inter-

state to exercise like control over
commerce within it's borders.
We demand such enlargement Of the
powers of the interstate commerce

compel railroads to perform their du-
ties az common carriers and prevent
discrimination and extortion.
We favor the efficient supervision
and rate regulation of railroads en-
gagged in Interstate commerce and to
this end we recommend the valuation

Every difference between the Two
great parties is of a minor nature.
Stop and think a minute. The re-
publican party is committed TO the
postal savings bank. The democratic
party to the bank depositers guaranty.
Both schemes are intended to benefit
the small depositors-the working
people-to safeguard their savings.
Really, no great principle is al stake
in this campaign. All this being so,
here is where we draw our comfort.
The intelligent voter is morally sure Of
what the republican party will do if re-
tanned in control Of the government.
There is considerable doubt, remem-
bering its past history, about what the
democratic party would do if given the
power.
There is too much general intelli-
gence, people read too much to vote
for Mr.. Bryan. They will not swop a
a good thing for pig in a poke. !"
Mr.. Byans vote will be largest where
illiteracy is greatest.

The great national red apple show
at Spokane, December Z to II, prom
ises to eclipse all other apple demon
STATIONS Of the past. Exhibition space
is in such demand that it was found
necessary to provide additional room.
One large prize for car load exhibit
will attract not less than twenty-five
cars. There will be exhibits from
Missouri, Arkansas, New York, North
Carolina and many other eastern and
southern states. It is estimated that
at least a hundred car loads will be on
exhibition. The prizes will amount
to some SIS, 900 or $50, 900, including
the special prizes. A very low rate
will be made on all railroads.

The question is not, will Mr.. Kemp
as prosecuting attorney Of Chelan
county do more than his duty, but
would Nh. Starr do less than his duty.
Certain republican voters are appealed
to, to vote for Mr.. Starr for prosecuting
attorney because he is supposed to be
friendly to the saloon interests. Do
not be deceived by this appeal to
prejudice. Mr.. Starr, if elected will
have to subscribe to the same oath of
Office that Mr.. Kemp will have to sub
scribe to if elected. To show how
much this is only an appeal to preiu-
dice and to make votes, it is only
necessary to state that certain re-
publican voters were approached in the
interest OF Mr.. Battles, who is mem
Der Of the church and a candidate for
county treasurer against M. P. Spencer
on the republican ticket, who is not a
church member. The real question
is not whether either man is men,
Der OF any church but which one is
best qualified for the Office OF county
treasurer. Mr.. Spencer has served one
term as assessor, is recognized as ex-
ceptionally well qualified, is, in truth,
an expert accountant, good repub-
lican, who has lived in Chelan county
long enough to establish an unim-
peachable record for good citizenship.
II republican can give no better
reason for scratching the name Of M.
P. Spencer than that he differs with
him on matters of religion or local op-
ton he should get out OF that narrow
rut. The real question, is he sober,
is he moral, is he well qualified, is he
honest, should outweigh all minor
considerations.

Mr.. Editor:-I received the follow

self-explanatory and reads:
H. w. Otis, Peshastin, Wash.
Dear Sir: In an article printed in
The Echo and signed Second Dis
trict Square Deal Club" there has
been a misstatement made. First,
there is not fifteen miles OF road in the
Cascade Orchards, and second, if the
writer OF the article will look up the
record OF the county commissioners
proceedings he will find where you
paid me fifty dollars for work done on
roads in Cascade Orchards. l have
never been in sympathy with the Square
Deal Club, for I made the statement
when we were running for the nominal
ton for county commissioner that l
would support the man nominated.
You being the choice Of the people Of
Chelan county, therefore l am for H.
w. Otis for county commissioner Of
the second district first, last, and all
the time. Yours for success,
F. A. Drebis.
P. S.-If you see fit to to have this
printed in the newspapers OF this coun-
ty you are at perfect liberty to do so.
May your shadow never grow less.

Political Inactivity Everywhere

From every section Of the United
States comes the report that no man
remembers the time when so little ap-
parent interest was taken in a national
election. This lack of enthusiasm has
caused apprehension of the result on
the part OF some republicans. Some
how this exponent Of republican prin-
ciples has never had doubt of the re-
suit. Mr.. Taft will be elected, and
will have to help him carry out his
policy, a republican congress.
We have arrived at this conclusion
thus. There is no great, vital issue
between the republican and democratic
parties. All the issues growing out Of
the war OF the rebellion have happily
passed away. The money question is
practically settled. The tariff, as a
matter Of principle, is equally as well
settled. 1t is only question Of amount.
Mr.. Bryan's bust the trusts" spiel is
an appeal to prejudice-the weapon of
a demagog. He is not sincere about
this. Listen: Could he carry Louis
lana or Mississippi if he advocated
putting trust made sugar on the free

This letter reveals the character OF
the man and will win for him the ad-
miration and respect OF every fair
minded man that reads it. Now, in
regard to the charges made against me
by the sore head club, l will submit a
few figures. In round numbers dis
trict No. has had s12, 900 in the last
two years. The lower end OF the dis
trict, including Mission creek, Naha-
hum and Olala canyons and both sides
of the Wenatchee river up to the
mouth of Estes canyon on one side
and Peshastin creek on the other, have
had $4,000. Peshastin and vicinity,
including Peshastin creek road to the
summit $1,000. Leavenworth and vi
cinity, including Red Mountain and
Wenatchee Lake country. S2400. Chi
waukum, 5000. Estes canyon road,
s445. This does not include some
work that has been done at Leaven-
worth and elsewhere since l compiled
this statement about the first of Sep
TENDER.
OF the sum charged to Leavenworth
and vicinity George Siverly, as special
deputy road supervisor, spent sl265
on the Beaver creek hill and in the
Wenatchee Lake country, and for
which sum 1 hold his vouchers, and
Joe Massie was paid $3.50 for opening
the Red Mountain road.
So taking population, miles of road,
amount of tax paid in the different
localities, the road money has been
about as evenly divided as l could do
it. I have travelled over practically all
the roads in my district and have made
study of the situation, and am proba-
bly, in better position to pass an
intelligent opinion on the whole propo-
sition than some people that are saying
so much about it. In regard to my
candidacy, I did not become candi-
date till I felt sure the majority of the
taxpayers wanted me for the
position, which fact they demonstrated
by 1872 plurality. The nomination
came to me entirely unsolicited and if
the election comes it will come the
same way. If l cannot be elected
without villifying my opponent or
allowing it to be done will 60 down
to defeat. In regard to locating bridges
on my ranch, etc., trip over the
ground and a little consultation with
the engineer will satisfy fair-minded
people. Yours for fair play,
H. w. Otis.

DUTY of a Good Citizen and a Good
Republican

The Echo has never advocated and
never will encourage OF countenance
the doctrine that it is the duty Of re-
publican 10 vote for every man on the
ticket without regard to his fitness or
moral character. II II knew Of any
man on the republican ticket for coun-
ty Office who was unfit BY reason Of a
lack Of qualifications, who was immoral
or dishonest, It would unhesitatingly
denounce him and urge all good re-
publicans who believe in an efficient
and honest administration Of the coun-
tvs affairs to scratch his name of the
ticket and vote for democrat, or even
a socialist, who possessed the requisite
qualifications. When, however, the
republican party puts up ticket that
meets with the most exacting condi-
tons that a conscientious republican
voter might desire, we unhesitatingly
say that it is his clear duty to support
the entire ticket. If the republican
party had not the right to expect this
from all those who call themselves re
publicans, what would be the use for
keeping up a political organization?
For republican TO depart from this
rule is to say by his acts that he is OPP
posed to the organization Of parties.
In this connection We can not too
strongly urge upon all republican voters
the duty of supporting the republican
nominee for county auditor, Ernest G.
Spencer. He lived for some twelve or
fourteen years in this place, where ne
is well known and universally respected
for having all the qualities that 60 to
make up what the president has well
called good citizen" The Echo
has no word OF dlsparagement Tor the
present incumbent, Mr.. Godfrey, who
is also a candidate for reelection. In
every respect Ernest 6. Spencer is his
equal, and is a republican to boot; will
vote for William Howard Taft for presi-
dent, S. G. Cosgroye for governor,
Miles Poindexter for congress, and the
balance OF the republican ticket. If
your republican principles are skin
deep don't you think you owe him
your support Mr.. Godfrey will vote
for William jennings Bryan for presi-
dent, as he should every other man on
the democratic ticket, being an honor
able man and a good democrat. A
republican can give no satisfactory ex-
cuse, even to himself, for voting for
Mr.. Godfrey, just as no democrat can
give an excuse for voting against him.
There being an easy majority Of 800
republicans in Chelan county, Ernest
G. Spencer should be the next county
auditor,
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1908-10-30

Let US all get together and give Mr..
Poindexter large majority from this
voting box next Tuesday. He will
undoubtedly be in a position to do
some good for Chelan county as the
next house of representatives will be
republican. For the past three weeks
he has made speeches in every
county in Eastern Washington where
the ticket required support. He is
one of the ablest men in public life
east OF the Cascades.

giving the privilege 70 private persons.
Vote against both amendments.

Every indication points 10 a large in
crease in the socialist vote in Nov
ember. It IS even predicted by in
huential republican newspapers that
Debs' popular vote will reach the nil
lion mark. Ever since the last presi-
dental election they have carried on a
vigorous campaign, assisted by infu-
ential and popular magazine writers.
Do not fatter yourself that their mem
bership is altogether drawn from the
working classes. They have a large
and rapidly growing membership
among the rich and influential. Many
Of the brightest men, among them col
lege professors, in this country and
Europe, have declared their adherence
to what they are pleased to call ideal
socialism. Socialists believe in strict
communion. They will have nothing
political to do with others. They take
their politics ike good democrats used
to take their whiskey, straight. They
work and never stop. They have the
virtue Of patience developed in a high
degree. No sooner is one election
over than they go to proselyting for
the next. Socialism may be called a
political fad, but it is one to be reck-
oned Yith.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1908-10-30

Vote against the two constitutional
amendments. One gives the tax
commission the right to make class
distinctions in property. The tax
commission may never abuse this
privilege, but to be on the safe side
vote against making it possible. The
other amendment makes it possible for
any private citizen, company or cor
poration to take by law the property OF
another citizen without giving the
public any return, such as common
carriers must give the public. This
like the other amendment might never
be used to the prejudice or injury of a
private citizen. 1t is wrong in prin-
ciple to make it possible to injure a
private person. On the ground that
railroads are for the common good,
and a public necessity, and must treat
all patrons alike, and that the COM
panies must operate their roads for the
common good, must make reasonable
charge for their service and do many
other reasonable things in the interest
Of the whole public they have been
given the right to condemn private
property where it can be shown that it
is necessary for their construction and
operation. No such reason exists for
