MY COATS OFF TO
WORK FOR DEMOCRATS
Asserts Gompers. Labor Leaders
Expected to Issue Appeal to
Workmen to Vote for Bryan

DENVER, July Is My coat 5
I off for the democratic party" de.
clared Samuel Gompers, president
Of the American Federation of La
Dor, in a conversation yesterday
with Delegate Thompson of Ala
bama.
The laboring man, the farmer
and the artisan,' continued Com
pers, find in the democratic plat
form something upon which all ca Il
stand and which deserves their sup
port. The republicans were given
the first opportunity and they
ignored us
The foregoing statement made
by Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor,
is considered by the leaders of the
democratic party to be one of the
most important political develop
ments in the history of national
politics. Never in the history of
the American Federation of Labor
has a president of the body ex-
pressed his Willingness and desire
to work in the interest of any par
ty seeking election.
Gompers, it is understood, is
preparing to make public state
ment of his position through the
press and the official journal of
the federation and until this is
ready he will not talk directly for
publication. Party leaders feel
confident that within short time
Gompers and the other members of
the executive council who attended
the Denver convention will issue a
call to workingmen to rally to the
aid of the party that has shown its
willingness to give them square
deal.
The announcement was received
with great enthusiasm by the mem
bers of the national democratic
committee and the party leaders
who are still in the city, and they
can see only victory ahead. With
the solid support of labor and the
support of the small manufacturer,
farmer, artisan and all who are in
terested in the tariff, banking,
trust, railway and other reforms
pledged by the party, they expect
to carry states that have not been
numbered in the democratic column
for years.
Nebraska, Indiana, Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Ohio, Iowa, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Connecticut. Rhode
Island and Massachusetts, are some
of the states they consider debata-
bic ground. New York and New
Jersey in the East and the Pacific
coast states that viii, be influenced
by the position of the party on the
Asiatic exclusion question are also
considered good fighting ground.
The tariff question, according to
the opinion of the leaders, will
make the same inroads this year in
the republican strongholds in Hi
nois, Indiara and Wisconsin in the
middle West and in the manufact-
uring states in the East that it did
in 1892, when it was the para
mount issue of the campaign.
The smaller manufacturers are
tired of competing at a hopeless
disadvantage with the trusts that
are protected by the discriminating
republican tariff, and are in posi-
ton to cut the life out of the small
manufacturers in almost every line.
These manufacturers and the i'm
mense army of their employees will

PROMOTION WORK
AND BIG BOOST
The Merits of Kittitas Shown
Up by J. D. Mathews

=
The Chamber of Commerce Boost
ing for Kittitas Valley" is the
title of a two column story de-
scriptive of Ellensburg, its climate
and advantages to the home seeker,
which appears in the June 1 issue
Of the Pacific Builder and Engi-
neer" a weekly journal published
in Seattle. The article was written
by 7. D. Mathews during the term
Of his office as secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce. 1t follows:
The Ellensburg Chamber of
Commerce, championing the cause
of Kittitas valley, has, in conjunc-
ton with the Chicago, Milwaukee
and St. Paul, compiled a large
amount of first hand information
and gathered a number of striking
photographs to be used in hand
some booklet. This work is now
going through the press and sew
eral thousand copies will SOON be
ready for distribution among those
seeking reliable information about
the valley.
I'm arranging the information
the point of view of the inquirer is
considered and the subjects are
taken up and discussed in logical
order. Following the general dis
cussed articles bearing upon each
subject alluded to, and these are
supplemented by rs questions and
answers covering location, irriga-
ton, transportation, prices, etc.
Kittitas county lies in the geo.
graphical center of the state of
Washington. The central and
southern part of the county is made
up almost entirely of the great Kit
titas valley, the first considerable
tract of agricultural land east of
the Cascade mountains on the line
G. NJ. & St. P. and n. P. rail
ways. The valley is oval in shape
and about rs miles long and 20
miles wide in its greatest dimen-
tons. It contains about 100000
acres, most of which is suitable for
agricultural purposes. The Yaki-
ma river runs through the valley
from the north to the south and
west of its center. The elevation
above the sea level is 1910 feet at
Ellensburg and 1910 at Thorp,
seven miles above.
Ellensburg, the county seat,
IS situated in the valley 125 miles
from Seattle and Tacoma by the
N. P. Railway company's line.
The G. M. & St. P. railway COM
pany, now building through FL
lensburg, traverses the valley from
the east to the west.
The climate is ideal. The
mean temperature is 48 degrees;
the mean January temperature rs
degrees; the mean temperature for
August, Sc degrees. The hottest
Gay since a record has been kept,
was in August, 1895, 1O2 degrees

a typical winter day is bright and
sunny, calm and still-enough
snow on the ground for good
selghing and the thermometer
ranging from 20 to 2o degrees
above zero.
The summers are warm, dry
ano bright, with cool nights, when

glories.
The soil of Kittitas valley is ;
rich volcanic ash ranging in deptl
from two to twenty feet, and gen
orally underlaid with gravel, thus
affordlng the great desideratum il
country-good drainage.
A large part of the valley i.
given over to the production OF
hay timothy, clover and alfalfa
the present crop being from O,OOC
80, 900 tons per annum. Baled hay
has sold for years for from Sl3 to
$50 per ton, and the yield averages
two and half tons to the acre for
timothy four tons for clover and
five tons for alfalfa.
When it comes to grain sc
bushels of wheat, 100 bushels of
barley and 12O bushels of oats are
by no means unusual.
Potatoes and onions are extern
sively grown for export; $50 BUSH
els to the acre is the average crop
of the former. Onions yield enor-
mously and during 1908 sold at
$40 a ton.
Cattle, too, are extensively
raised, though, because of the cur
tailment of free range, not so large
ly as in the early history of the
valley.
OF all the small industries of
the valley, none is more promising
than poultry. With all ideal chick
Ell country and climite and outrag-
eous prices for eggs and chickens
both young and old, there is no
reason why man may not achieve
independence quickly and within a
minimum effort.
This is the banner dairy section
of Washington. Kittitas butter is
the standard Of quality in the Pa
ciic Northwest and brings higher
price than is obtained in any other
section of the United States. Hun
dreds of thousands of pounds Of
butter are made here annually, and
the demand is far, far ahead of the
supply.
People long resident here have
known for years that Kittitas val
ley grows good fruit. Never were
the apples surpassed for color, for
flavor and keeping qualities. The
total absence of insect pests does
away with the most expensive and
disagreeable feature of the business
of fruit culture.
THE valley Is traversed by two
railroads and by many wagon roads.
It is healthy, the annual death rate
being less than one per cent of the
populations; good schools abound in
the rural districts and in the town;
rural free delivery routes reach
nearly every farm house in the
valley, and nearly all are connect
ed with local and long distance
telephones.
MANY of the farmhouses are
lighted by gas, and have steam
heat, water and under pressure,
and all the comforts and convenient
ces of modern homes. So that the
farmer, while making money is
not cut off from his fellows, but is
enabled to keep in touch with the
world about him. Taxes are mod
crate; county affairs are admins
tered with honesty and economy.
Churches abound; the moral town
of the people is high. Indeed, the
valley is made up of an Industrious
honest, intelligent, patriotic clti-
zenship-American either by birth
or adoption, but always truly
American. There is no better
place to cast your lot if you are dis
satisfied with your present envir-
onments.

growls and chickering's that usually
follow a national convention, y
says Chairman Thomas Taggart
Everybody is satisfied and ex'
presses himself candidly. The de-
claration of the party for increased
powers for the interstate commerce
commission in the matter of initial,
ing freight rates calls for unquali-
fled support from the smaller manu-
faCturers who have been disCrlmin-
ated against by the railroad and
trust combinations under the re-
publican administrations.
THE proposition of the govern
ment. if the democratic party is
successful, to institute reforms tina
will protect the depositors of the
national banks of the country in
the event of bank failures is another
issue that the leaders feel will bring
wide support to the party stand
ard
John T.. Lamb of Indianapolis
points out the difference in the
conditions facing the two great
parties. He saws:
| "Contrasted with the harmony
in the democratic party is the dis
sension in the republican party in
the states where the democrats have
heretofore had the hardest fight
Ohio, the home of the republican
standard-bearer, is in the throes of
bitter internal strife that makes
the democrats certain of victory for
the national ticket and for the state
ticket that will be headed by Jud-
son Harron.
In Indiana there is the same
strife in the republican party and
harmony in the democratic party,
and we are confident of success.
This is also true in Illinois, Wis
Consin and Iowa.
Illinois,, ~ says Rodger G. Sui
livan, is torn by the most bitter
contest for the gubernatorial nomi
nation between Chas. S. Deneen
and Richard Yates that has ever
been known in the history of the
republican party. The rival fac
tons have gone so far that the
breeCh can never be healed for this
election. "
In Wisconsin," says 7. l..
Ryan of Waukesha, member of the
national committee, Senator La
Toilette has been preaching the
policies of the advanced democracy
for years, and he has educated the
people of the state up to point
where they will not accept the
principles espouscd by the republic
cans in this campaign.
"While La Toilette as a royal
partisan will make as good a fight
as he can for the party. his heart
will not be i'll it and his supporters
know it. Bryan and La Toilette
are close together in ideas and
Bryan will get the support of the
La Toilette republicans. v
I'm Iowa. says Judge Martin
| J. Wade of the national committee,
former governor Cummins has
been educating his people along
the same line and the refusal of
the republican party to accept him
as it's vice presidential candidate,
the thrOW-dOWn given his prlnCl-
pies and the bitterness engendered
by the recent senatorial fight, in
which Cummins was beaten by the
interests, has all been taken into
consideration by his people, and
they will not forget his teachings
that SAVIOR strongly of democracy
when they come to cast their votes
on election day"
In all these states the United
Mine Workers of America are
strong, and the loyalty of the
miners to John Mitchell is some
thing beautiful to contemplate.
