COLBY Makes
CLEAN SWEEP IN
ORANGE PRIMARY
Failure OF Election Boards to
Finish Their Work De-
lays Count.

With the entire three districts from
the First ward held up, through failure
of the election boards to finish their
work until late today, and the First
district of the Fifth ward still I'M
finished. the situation in Orange today
as to the results of the primary election
Is still somewhat uncertain. The Colby
ticket made a sweep, and the nom
partisan school ticket will undoubtedly
be put on the Republican party ticket,
as the straight ticket of that organiza-
ton was beaten.
1t will require q complete tally Of all
the missing districts to settle the ques-
ion whether the Democratic straight
school board has beaten the non-parti-
san ticket or not, as the vote Is close.

HIM A FAILURE
Declares the Nebraskan Isn't a
Man to Be Entrusted

CLAIMS PARTNERSHIP
in "MY POLICIES"
Says They Were Formed While
He Was ROOsevelt's Adviser
and Agent.

CINCINNATI. Sept. 2S.-William II.
Taft in his speech before the National
League of Republican Clubs V
ton, referred to the Roosevelt policies
as the policies known as the Roosevelt
policies" and two minutes later ex-
planned the qualification by saying:
IF ever a party earned the verdict
of well lone by the record OF the last
seven years, and the reward of a re-
newed mandate of power it is the Re-
publican party under Theodore Roose-
Welt, and | do not hesitate to ask for
that mandate under my leadership, be-
cause my association with Mr.. Roose-
welt, my participation in much of his
administration as his adviser and as
his agent have enabled me to know
what the task is
Mr.. Taft proceeded to give his own
history of Bryan in these words:
Refers to Cleveland.
1T Is from beginning to end a record
of failures on public questions. We find
him first in Congress in the second ad-
ministration of Mr.. Cleveland, a mem
Der OF the ways and mean committee,
and most active in formulating the pro-
visions of the Gorman-Wilson tariff
bill. After five months debate it passed
both houses and came to Mr.. Cleveland
in such a shape that he denounced it
as a piece of perfidy. It levelled the
industries Of thisc country TO the ground.
After being assisted in this suicidal
policy, after the country was nearly
dead, after the farmers and the wage
earners were staggering under debt
and mortgage, penury and almost star
walton. Mr.. Bryan defeats the efforts
of the only great Democrat they have
had in the party for many years,
Grover Cleveland. n hurls at him
Billingsgate and denunciation, for what
reason? Because he opposes Mr..
Bryan's pet hobby, that of the free
coinage of silver without the consent
of any other nation.
Then there came on the campaign
OF 1900. In that campaign he still adj
hered to his free silver fallacy. But
lest the issue of free silver had become
a little %shopworn he brought out as a
issue hat of anti-imperiai-
ism.
blamed for Death of soldiers.
His agitation of this question con-
tinued the war in the Philippines
against the authority of the United
States for nearly two years longer. and
many a poor fellow who lost his life
in the service OF his country in those
far distant islands owes it directly to
the inspiration which the opposition of
the Democracy under Mr.. Bryan made
to the policy of Mr.. Mckinley in the
Philippines.
And now Mr.. Bryan comes forward
and asks that the people give him an
opportunity 10 put into operation new
reforms in respect to trusts and in re-
spect to guaranty of bank deposits,
wholly untried, wholly theoretical and
on their face bearing evidence of their
impracticability and of having been de-
vised by the ready brain of one looking
for plausible arguments rather than
real refofms."

POULTRY PRODUCERS UNION

AS many inquiries have come to The
Ranch regarding the status and pros
poets of the Poultry Producers Union,
we have taken some pains to investi-
gate that organization.
The Poultry Producers Union was
organized during the early summer,
little more than six months ago. 1t
had good field and bright prospects.
A form of incorporation was adopted,
but there is some question as to its
validity, owing to irregularity OF pro-
cedure. However it not valid as a cor
poration, it stands as a partnership
for business purposes.
The first officers elected included G.
H. Severance of Kent, president; G.
L. Roper of O'Brien, and l.. Buck OF
Kent, vice-presidents; F. G. Williams,
Seattle, secretary and treasurer; G. r..
CQtterill was chosen business manager.
Williams was very active in promoting
the movement, and store room was
selected at the corner of Union street
and Ninth avenue that had large
basement in connection, and market
was opened to the public August "a.
The public market had been opened
ten blocks away the previous week.
and to some extent was rival in the
sale of pultry and poultry products.
Carl o. Fish succeeded Mr.. Cotterill
as manager. After a few weeks Mr..
Severance resigned as president and
Mr. H. L. Blanchard was elected presi-
dent 1t soon became evident that the
money and business were improperly
handled nv Williams and Fish The
books show the grossest irregularities
both as to records and to cash. Entries
in September and October show that
Williams tried to make it appear that
he was relieved by the board from re-
sponsibility under his bond. This is
denied by members of the board.
Alta largely attended meeting of the
stockholders about the middle of Nov
ember Williams was formally removed
from office and the board was reorgan-
lied. Harry Fortman of Seattle was
chosen president. Mr.. Briggs of Au-
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-01-01

burn secretary; H. L. Blanchard of
Hadlock, A. B. Strong of Lisabenla and
G. w. Holt of Auburn, directors; Judge
John H. Allen of Seattle, was chosen
as attorney, and Williams books are
in his hands. President Fortman was
chosen as trustee to close up the old
business and prepare for new. The
store was vacated.
Among the irregularities disclosed
are the issue of many certificates of
stock with no moneys recorded on
their account; $500 worth of stuff I'm
accounted for before Fish took hold !;
1914 acknowledged by Fish as received
for produce, etc. The indebtedness
amounts to many hundreds of dollars
with but few hundreds of dollars
assets. Williams and Fish have faded
away. The former is under bond for
$4,000 and warrant is out for the lat
ter, who was last heard from at Spo.
kane.
Trustee Fortman is making an earn
est effort to cancel the indebtedness,
and prepare for reOpOning, the bust
ness. To do this it is expected to be
necessary to levy an assessment. In
this the trustee is unanimously sus-
tanned by the board of directors. Elk
president Blanchard has proved the
Napoleon of the situation by striking
at the root of the evil, then resigning
so that one closer to the situation
could more effectively prosecute the
work, then standing by and vigorously
sustaining him in that work.
1t is the unanimous feeling that the
principle that underlies the attempt
made in good faith by the membership
at large of the Poultry Producers I'm.
ion is correct solution of the proper
method of handling their trade. 1t
has been abundantly exemplified that
there is need of bringing producers
and consumers into more direct and
reliable relations. 1t is the unanimous
desire and intention of the organiza-
ton of officers to right the wrongs, to
make a new start, and to place the
poultry mems interests on firm and
satisfactory basis.
