SAYS LOCAL OPTION Is THE
LEADING ISSUE OF THE CAM.
PAIGN.-STATES HIS POSITION
ON THE QUESTION.

Owing probably to the rival at
traction of band concert, the au-
dience was not large that gathered
to hear ]. A. Balmer at the Wenat-
chez theatre last night. The candi-
date referred to the occasion more as
a reception than a formal meeting.
Disclaiming any desire to make an
oratOrical effort, Mr.. Balmer frankly
and emphatically announced his firm
stand on the republican state plat
form. His remarks were devoted
chiefly to local option, which was de-
clared to be the most important issue
of the campaign. 81 am not a prohi-
bitionist," said the speaker, NOR a
teetotaler. I am not even opposed
to the saloon that is properly regu-
lated" But by means of the propos-
ed law he would give each communi-
ty the right to decide whether it's
children should be raised under sa-
loon influences or environments. Mr.
Balmer claimed that the saloonkeep-
ers of Gle Elum who own their es-
Establishments are in favor of local
option.

VICTORIOUS ATH-
[ETES HON0RED
COME TO OLYMPIC VICTORS.-
THE CITY IN GALA ATTIRE.
Omitted Press Service.)

New York, Aug. 29.-America to-
day extended a formal welcome to
the stalwart athletes who carried the
Stars and Stripes to victory at the
great Olympic games held recently.
In anticipation of the gorgeous pa
rade and display the streets were
lined early with throngs of specta-
tors. The city was given over to the
reception and demonstration. A pa
rade was formed and headed with
battalions of soldiers and sailors in
brilliant uniforms, led by brass
bands, and followed by automobiles
which were deliberately decorated.
The procession passed down Broad
way, it's objective point being the city
hall park, where the exercises of for
NAL welcome were held. Here a COM
mittee composed of five hundred New
Workers, headed by Alfred Wander
bilt, received the athletes. Each
athlete was presented with a gold
medal, and a silver cup was given to
John Hayes the winner of the Mara
thon race. After the presentation of
the prizes the throng sang the ma
tional anthem amid the cheers of adj
miring thousands.

If sent to Olympia, Mr.. Balmer
would work for a state wagon road
which should pass through this city
and make necessary the purchase by
the state of the Wenatchee bridge.
In closing, the candidate modestly
referred to his personal qualifica-
lions for the honor sought. Coming
to this state fourteen years ago, he
occupied the chair of horticulture at
the state college in Pullman for six
years. While filing that position
he came to Wenatchee and organized
the first farmers institute ever held
in this city. Having entered the race
at the solicitation of fruit growers.
his first consideration as state sena-
tor would be to serve the fruit rails
ing interests Of Chelan and Kittitas
counties.

option bill, if passed by the legisla-
ture, of the character expressed in
the statement which you enclosed, I
wish to answer, unequivocally and
without reserve, that I will
think the following extract taken
from my Bellingham speech defines
my position as clearly as possible:
The republican party is found in
this campaign, as usual, advocating
moral issues and reforms. 1t has de-
clared that local option is an issue.
That the majority of the people of a
community or of locality shall say
whether intoxicating liquors shall be
vended therein or not. / am indeed
gratified that the republican state
convention saw fit to adopt the plank
in it's entirety as approved by the re-
publicans of my home county and as
drafted by my personal and confiien-
tial friends. The principle contained
in the local option plank is funda-
mental principle of our local form of
government. The enforcement of
sumptuary laws depends on local
sentiment, and am satisfied that
the cause of temperance is best
by an effective local option law. If
again chosen as your chief executive,
l will follow the same course pur-
sued by me in the last legislation
affecting great public questions. AZ
ter the legislature passes upon the
general nature of the bill to be enact
ed, defining the extent of the terri
tory to be affected by the vote, will
enlist the cooperation and support
to this measure of friends who will
see that the details are such that the
law as finally approved shall result
in efficient legislation-thatt the aims
sought will be accomplished. The
demand for more thorough regula-
ton of the liquor traffic has been ra-

UNITED Press Seryice.l

Ell Paso, Tex, Aug. 29.-Eight
more victims have been recovered
from the flood occasioned by the
cloudburst which occurred at Folsom.
New Mexico, yesterday. The total of
the known dead now numbers twenty
three, and it is believed that it will
reach as high as forty.
Five travelling men were asleep in
the hotel when a water wall, fifteen
feet high struck it and swept it away.
Hotel furniture, along with the cloth
ing belonging to the guests were scat
tered all over the valley.
Later reports bring word that the
survivors of the cloudburst at Fol-
som are seeking shelter today from
a driving hailstorm which is sweep
ing over the country. They are hud-
died together on the hilltops, scantily
clad and hungry The hailstorm is
beating down the crops and killing
sheep by the thousands, leaving a
wide path of ruin and entailing great
suffering. The means of communi-

ANT|.SAL0ON LEAGUE
ENDORSES FOR GOV.
Urges Friends of Local Option to
Vote For Mead For First Choice.
Second Choice For CosgrOve.

Governor Albert E. Mead has been
endorsed by the Anti-Saloon League
for first choice in the coming prima-
ries, and S. G. Cosgrove has been en-
dorsed for second choice vote.
The organization urges all friends
of local option to support Mead and
Cosgrove. The action of the anti
saloon league is the result of an in
vestigation of the record of the sew
eral candidates
A bulletin. sent out by that organ
ization says:
John ID. AtkinsOn's reply is thor
Oughly satisfactory to the League.
Robt. b. Browns reply is also
thoroughly satisfactory.
The League, after careful cOnsid-
GRAFTON and investigation, believes
that If Gov. Mead is reelected it will
be by first choice votes. If Mr.. Co.'S
grove is elected it will be by second
choice votes. A second choice vote
is, therefore, worth as much to Mr..
Cosgrove as first choice vote.
Gov. Mead not only by his attitude
at Spokane and his straightforward
letter, but by his vigorous advocacy
of Local Option in his speeches, mer-
its our support, and we urge every
true friend of local option in this
state to give earnest support to Gov
erno- Mead and MIR. COsgrove for
first and second choice votes respect
lively. This is in no way reflection
upon Mr.. COsgrOve's attitude or in
tegrity, but simply in the interests of
that concentration of effort necessary
to defeat the saloon forces at the poll
and secure the election of local OPP
ton candidate.
