undoubtedly it left a sore head and ;
cloudy understanding. There wa
speech-making, fremen's races, foo
races, horse racing and fireworks. That
everything was not entirely satisfactory
to everybody is no doubt true, but
that some one feature was satisfactory
or entertaining, to all but very few is
probably not overstating the truth.
The meeting Of the county candi-
dates in the opera house Friday night
was attended by fair number oi
voters who were interested in hearing
what each and every candidate for
office had to say for himself. And
then too, there were those who were
entire strangers to many Of the voters
in this part Of the county. To merely
get acquainted and see the men whose
names would appear on the ballot was
mutually satisfactory and We trust
beneficial.
Not having the space to give in
detail the remarks made by each and
every one we will give the names Of
those present: Messrs. Frank Reeves
and VIM. A. Grimshaw, non-partisan
candidates for Superior Court Judge;
Messrs. Del Mccoy and Dan Shaser,
candidates for sheriff, the former on the
republican ticket and the latter on the
democratic. Messrs. Ferguson and
Inscho not being present. Mr.. Camp
bell, candidate for county clerk was
not present. F. A. Reynolds candi-
date for auditor on the republican
ticket had the field all to himself, his
opponent, E. G. Spencer, not being
present. For county treasurer, Messrs.
M. P. Spencer and Arthur Bousqet,
from Wenatchee, were present. For
prosecuting attorney Messrs. w. M.
Emerson, of Chelan, and Sam Sumner
OF Wenatchee, were present. For county
assessor, R. c. Osborn, OF Lakeside,
the only man so far seeking this Office,
was present. For county superintend-
ent of schools Messrs. E. c. Bowersox,
of Chelan, and A. G. Bowie, Of Chelan
Falls, put in their appearance. For
county engineer Messrs. F. M. Berry,
J. w. Sussex and F. A. Warren, all oi
Wenatchee, were present at the meet
ing. For commissioner the only man
present was F. A. Drebis.
All those present made brief remarks
to the crowd, which kept growing all
the time. Everything passed of pleas
antly and so far as we are informed all
were satisfied with the meeting.
In the fremen's race, Saturday
morning, the Leavenworth boys won in
"a seconds. The Wenatchee boys
had really not intended to run at all,
but made up team Of the young mer
present from their town, many of them
totally unfamiliar with the handling ol
fire hose, and while they made an ex-
cellent run they failed to get their hose
coupling apart and the nozzle screwed
on before the water came thru the
hose, and they lost. They intended tc
run again in the evening but for some
reason did not get together.
The 100 yard foot race was won by
Dave Gellatly, of Wenatchee. We die
not get the time made, but those who
saw Dave run say he is quite a sprinter
Hon. John D. Atkinson, candidate
for governor on the republican ticket
addressed quite large crowd and wa.
given close attention thruout. Hi.
speech is printed in full elsewhere il
this paper.
Hon. D. T. Rockwell, Of Spokane
candidate for congress on the repub
lican ticket, made happy hit in hi.
address, which like that Of Mr.. Atkin
son, was devoid Of politics. HI
directed his remarks to those Of US whc
call ourselves American citizens, anc
asked US to take stock and strike bal
lance. Not in political sense but q
patriotic citizens Of a free and enhght
ened government whose most sacred
duty consists in leaving that heritage
Of freedom TO our children which on
forefathers fought for, and entrusted tt
our care and keeping, and in conclud
ing made a beautiful allusion to tha
national emblem Of liberty, everywher'
