Lieutenant General StoesseI was
condemned to death last week by a
military court at st. Petersburg for
the surrender of Port Arthur to the
japanese. General Fock, who com
manded the Fourth East Siberian
Division of Port Arthur, was ordered
reprimanded for disciplinary of
fence, which was not connected with
the surrender, and General Smirnoff,
acting eommandant of the fortress,
and Major General Reiss, chief Of
staff to General Stoessel, were ac-
quilted of the charges against them
for lack of proof. The court recon-
mended that the death sentence upon
Lieutenant General Stoessel be com
muted to 10 years Imprisonment in
a fortress and that he be excluded
from the service. The sentence Of
death was pronounced upon General
Stoessel ''for surrendering the for.
tress before all the means of defense
had been exhausted, for failing to en-
force his authority and for military
misdemeanors." Communication OF
the sentence was asked on the ground
that "Poit Arthur, beset by over
whelming forces, defended itself un-
der General Stoessel's leadership
with unexampled stubborness and
filed the world with astonishment at
the heroic courage of its garrison !;
that several assaults had been repul-
sed with tremendous loss on the part
of the enemy; that General Stoessel
throughout the siege had maintained
the heroic courage of the defenders,
and finally, that be bad taken sner.

the last few months, according to fig

from all other countries during Jan

$4,000 in January, 1907. The emf

Dear Sir-Your esteemed favor of
the Sth inst. in regard to the action
of the Anti-Saloon League, relative
to local option bill to be presented
at the next legislature of the state of
Washington is at hand, desiring to
know whether or not l would support
and sign this bill if l am elected Gov
ernor of the state.
Permit me to say that the fea-
lures agreed upon by the conventions
held at Spokane and Seattle, as indi-
Gated by your enclosure, meet my ap-
prevail, and I shall recommend to the
legislature in my message the adop-
tion of local option bill incorpOrat-
ing these features, and if said bill
is passed by the legislature, l would
consider such a law reasonable and
would sign it. Yours respectfully,

ANTI SALOON LEAGUE
ENDORSES FOR
GOVERNOR
Continued from Page IL

pidly growing in this country during
| the past few years and many of the
states have adopted various meas
ures of reform on these lines. A
strong and increasing sentiment ia
voring local option has prevailed in
| this state for several years. 1t has
found expression in an effort to enact
law putting it in force at the last
| three sessions of the legislature. If
the local option bill that passed the
house and senate in the session of
1909 by such a decisive vote had re-
ceived the executives signature this
question would not now be In issue.
The result of the vote showed that
the people demanded the remedial
Legislation. The vote stood in the
house: yeas, 60; nays, 9; and in the
senate: yeas, %; nays, g."
My predecessor, in his wisdom,
saw fit to veto this bill. 1 desire
to take this opportunity to say to my
friends of Whatcom county and
through you to the people of the en-
tire state that 1 am heartily and
earnestly in accord with the local
option plank.
Your letter of August was ad-
dressed to me at Seattle and on ac-
count of my absence from the city
did not reach me until today, which
accounts for the delay in answering
it.
With best wishes for the success
of your work, 1 beg to remain, very
truly yours,

Henry McBride's Reply.

Seattle, Aug. q.
Dear Sir-YOur favor of the Sth
inst reached my Office the day I LETT
part of the state for two weeks and
did not reach home until last Mon
day evening. / trust this explanation
may be accepted as a sufficient rea-
son for this somewhat late reply to
your communication.
The republican state convention
recently held in Spokane, inserted in
it's platform the following plank:
I'VE believe that the issue of local
option is purely local one, and this
convention records itself in favor of
a reasonable local option bill to be
enacted by the next legislature"
am in accord with the plank and
should the legislature enact a local
option bill in accord with the spirit
of the republican platform utterance,
would approve the same.
l regard the republican party of
this state as greater than the saloon
forces, or the anti-salOon forces, or
both forces combined for that mat
ter, for it is the party of the people.
II believe, and have always believed.
that every promise made by the re-
publican party should be kept-that
every pledge given by it should be re-
deemed. Should be nominated and
elected governor of this state / will
make an honest and straightforward
attempt to redeem the pledge given
by the republican party to the people
of this state upon the question of To-
cal option.
Doubtless, differences of opinion
exist among those ardently in favor
of local option as to what would be
the best measure to place upon our
statute books. Differences of opin-
ion also no doubt honestly exist as
what would be a reasonable local OPP
ton bill. This is a question that the
Legislature in the first instance must
determine, and I believe that after
a full ana free discussion conclu-
sion can and will be reached that will
be satisfactory to the people of the
state as whole. A measure embrace
/ ing what your league regards as es-
sential features of local option bill
will, of course, be introduced. 1t is
probable, however, that as result
! of discussion it may undergo some
changes, for a measure very rarely
comes out of the legislature in the
shape in which it goes in. Should
the legislature, as result of it's de-
alterations, conclude local option
bill, drawn along the lines proposed
by your conferences, and suggested
by your league. to be a reasonable
local option BILL" within the mean
ing of the republican platform, I
would approve the same.
With thegreatest respect, I remain,
sincerely yours,
HENRY MCBRIDE.
