1t is proposed that 600 tickets of
admission be sold for this occasion
at Sl.OO a ticket, and that the net
proceeds of the entertainment be
devoted towards the payment Of
the new advertising booklets that
is now being prepared for the city
and county. The expense of this
new publication is in the neighbour
hood of 100000. The Chamber
of Commerce is under heavy strain
in many directions and it is an
ticipated that most of the citizens
will take pleasure in contributing
thus indirectly the issuance of a
booklet that will be of such benifit
to Ellensburg and kittitas county.
1t IS earnestly requested that
any one who reads this letter and
who takes enough interest in the
subject will speak to one of the
gentlemen whose names appear
hereunder.

Mr.. DEMOCRAT, don't you let
any flimhamming republican make
YOU believe that there are no DEM
ocrats in the county, and that it
will be useless for you to support
the democratic county ticket Nov.
5rd, because of the light vote at
the primary election Sept. 8. In
1904, according to the election re-
turns there was 1850 to support
the state ticket, while the editor of
The Dawn as you know was on
the democratic ticket for the legis
lature and received ll1+ votes, and
H. NJ. Baldwin, two years later
1906, running for the same Office,
polled 1922, which goes to prove
that if the democrats are all dead E,
they have died since that date. All
know who know anything that
hundreds of democrats went to the
polls Sept. Sth and voted the re-
publican ticket, but that does not
signify that they will vote the same
way or otherwise than their party
ticket next November. Democrats
were urged by republican candi-
dates and party workers to go to
the polls and vote for their friends
on the republican ticket and the
argument used was that there was
no contest on the democratic ticket
and that some of the republican
candidates need all the help they
could get in order to win out in
the nomination, and for this reason
many Of the democrats did as wish
ed. but there is no sound way of
reasoning it out that they will de
sert their party color and candi-
dates November 5rd. Democrats
have good ticket of their own
aud one that they cannot afford to
do otherwise than accord a loyal
and hearty support and if they do
so, it will be elected. and we have
every reason to believe they will
do so.

it is so, for it is hope-the salvation

men or consequences, is just the
thing that has brought us to the
obnoxious things and gross wrongs
of which we complain and seek to
be delivered from. All the good
men are not within the conflict Of
any one party. All parties have
good men, honorable and esteemed
citizens in their organizations, and
thus the monopoly of good men has
not been corralled, and the voter
who fails to think seriously and
earnestly over the matter of voting
and of casting his vote for good,
efficient and capable men, fails in
his duty of good American citizen
ship. Our advise to every voter in
the land would be and is this:
Cast your vote in November as
though you expected it to be the
last you would ever cast. Vote
for principle, honor, home, country
prosperity, God and America, and
if you do this, the democratic party
and its candidates, national, state
and county. will abide with the
result without a murmer and
humanity will have advanced to a
much higher plane of Christian
civilization and political and civic
pride will have for once been worth
par. Will you do it? What is the
important question of the hour
Will you or will YOU not What
is your answer?
The Ellensburg dawn. [volume] (Ellensburg, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1908-09-18

WE present to our readers this
week the democratic national, state
and county tickets. Look over the
county ticket and you will find
that it is composed of honorable,
capable and efficient men, men who
are credit to the party, and men
who if elected vii give the county
satisfaction, and will prove them
selves worthy of the confidence of
the whole people, indeed they will
conduct the county business with
honor to themselves and a credit to
the county.

THE republicans carried Maine
by 5000 which shows loss of
$500 since 1904, while the demo
cracts have in the same time made
a clear gain of $4,000. In other
words the republican loss was 4
per cent and the democratic gain
was 80 per cent.

The power OF habit was strkingly
illustrated not long ago in a Philadel-
phia shirt waist factory One woman
who had done nothing but sew up the
seams Of sleeves for four years was
taken on that particular job and was
asked 20 run up seams in the body
OF the waists. She complained that
the change made her so nervous that
she could not work.
But what is the difference" asked

lust which WORK will be undertaken first
is a matter OF much speculation. The people
Of Omaha would like to see work started
as soon as possible on the new headquarters
building at Fifteenth and Dodge streets.
This site has been in the hands OF the
Union Pacific for over a year and mas
been lying idle. The plans have been drawn
and accepted.
Work on the Lane cutoff was stopped
with the others. but a small force OF men
was kept at work on this line until one
track was completed and trains are now

Cheyenne also fears the other cutoff OF
