Claimed That He Had Only
Three Supporters in
Press Association.

That Eugene Lorton, of Walla Wal
! la. was only able to find but two fellow
editors at the meeting of the state
press association who were favorable
to the candidacy of s. G. Cosgrove for
the governorship. is the statement
made in the current issue of the
Prescott Spectator.
Walla Wallans, who did not attend
the meeting of the state association
had been led to believe that the
whole cohort of pencil pushers as
sembled at Vancouver few days
ago made a mad rush for the Cos
grove bandwagOn and that "COsgroVe
for Governor" was hencefOrth to be
the slogan of every man who pulls the
lever of a Washington hand-press and
while LOrton didn't just exactly say
so, Walla Wallans. who despite pol1tl-
cal differences are pretty long on home
pride. threw out their chests in the
belief that fellow toWnsman had be-
come the only sreal live Warwick IN
the state. and that in the remote pos
sibility of republican. success, the
governors office would be directed by
a private wire from this great city
Says Its Fake.
But the awakening has come. Editor
O'Neil. of the Spectator, wakes wrathy
in his comment on the Lorton efforts
to deliver the state press to the Pom
eroy aspirant. He uses nasty words
calls the scheme "A Contemplate
Fake" and what is what he tells just
who was who in that great CosgroVe
uprising. This is the way he tells 1t:
Mondays Bulletin had a scarehead
article. purporting to show that at the
late meeting of the Washington State
Press association, the country editors
were organized for the purpose OF
boosting the nomination of 5. q. cos
grove. governor. This is lie pure and
simple. The editorial association did
not in any shape or form endorse the
candidacy Of any man for any office
nor was the question brought up before
the association. The Washington State
Press association is not a political
organization, and politics would not be
tolerated in it's meetings. The men
who compose the organization are or
all political faiths and it is a signl-
ficant fact that there were just three
country editors at the meeting, out OF
probably seventy-five. who were fav-
orable to Cosgrove.
The Bulletin quotes from a circular.
which is being sent to the country
editors of the state by F. A. Hazeltine,
of South Bend. Now, at the late meet
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1908-08-01

ing, Lorton did his best to line up the
editors i'm attendance for CosgrOve and
presumably for some other candidates
but he made a miserable failure Of it
because he succeeded in finding only
two sympathizers in the person of Mr.
HaZeltine of South Bend and George f.
McLane of the Castle Rock Advocate
1t is to be presumed that these men
getting together originated the idea OF
the circular above referred to, which
gives out the impression that the mat
ter was brought up before the assOcia- =
ton at Vancouver and met with the
approval of majority of the editors in
attendance at the press association
meeting.
1--WE reprint below that portion of
the circular bearing on the matter 1t
is as follows:
Brother Editor: At the recent
meeting of the Washington State Press
association. held at Vancouver
many of the newspaper men present,
believing it to be to the best interests
of the people of the state of Washing
ton, the republican party, and par
ticularly to the best interests of the
country press. that S. G. Cosgrove of
Pomeroy candidate for governor on
the republican ticket be nominated at
the September primaries, named the
undersigned executive committee for
the purpose of attaining that end.
"'Of the country publishers who
attended the Vancouver meeting more
than three-fourths were for Cosgrove
for governor, first. last and all the
time. A list of more than sixty country
Weeklies which are for COsgrove has
been obtained. A careful study of the
situation shows that many more coun-
try papers are for COsgrove than for
all other candidates combined. Added
to these are few excellent papers,
which are favorable to him on second
choice:

THE Spectator has no grievance

and at the same time placing the coun-

A Hornets Nest.
The circular letter referred to. which

up something of hornets nest all
over the state. Vide this from the
Vancouver Independent. published by
the way in the city where this great
Cosgrove uprising is alleged to have
taken place:
I'VE received a letter this week
from South Bend which was signed by
aDoGt :. dozen country editors. i'm which
we were solicited to join "a machine be
ing formed among the country editors
to promote the candidacy of S. G. Cos
grove for governor We replied that we
did rot beliave in machines whether
formed of country editors or state en-
pioyees. 1t is our opinion that every
man should stand on his merits and if
any of our friends among the country
editors can show where Cosgrove ex-
GELS Henry Mcbride in any capacity.
we might consider their proposition to
join them in a fight for Cosgrove But
when their chief aim in nominating
Cosgrove is to show the people the
power of the country press We refuse
10 join in such movement To our
knowledge this is the first attempt to
form a machine for the promotion of
anyOne's candidacy and it is not to the
credit of the country editors that they
have so readily fallen into such
scheme. These same papers were de-
manding the direct primary law that
they might break the machines in pol
itics and it now apepars that they are
endeavoring to form one of their own
which they themselves claim will be
more powerful than any the state has
ever had before. Mr.. Cosgrove Is a
kindly old man who can tell a good
story and laugh at it a little louder
than anyone else and man who has
been in Washington state politics for
30 years or more and all that time has
been a candidate for governor but has
never been able to impress the con-
ventions with his fitness for the po-
sition.'
