HERE'S TO MIR. LAWSON

The public has been watching with
interest the most recent move of
Thos. w. Lawson Mr.. Lawson is a
man about whom a great many
things might be said. So very dit-
ferent is the standard of ethics pre-
vailing among his associates that it
is hardly to be expected of us to
grasp the significance of his moves
at their inception.
Lawson has declared times with
out number that his sole purpose
since he began his frenzied finance
was to beat the system at its own
game. not because he wanted their
combined wealth but because he
wanted TO best them in their aggran-
dizement of the worlds wealth, every
possible dollar of which they have
"siphoned" into their own pocket.
To us this does not seem unlikely be-
cause he does not need the money.
Furthermore Tom Lawson loves the
sport of winning more than the price
of the stake. in dollars. For thirty
FIVE years he has fought in the big
battles Of the stock exchange. having
commenced life as clerk at 50 80
a week. and today he is the only man
living that has played the exchange
for a similar period without being
broke. That is pretty nearly suffi-
cient to give him the belt for sue
cessful stock gambling. especially
when one considers that during the
past few years he has had the great
finaneiers and their unlimited mil
lions arrayed against him.
Equipped with his Bay State fran
ehise. a perpetual charter to carey
on any sort of business anywhere. Mr..
Lawson announces that he is ready
for the biggest game of dog eat dog
that ever came off All we can say
is that things can't be any worse la
Law son than la Hartman ct al,
and we would like TO see a change.
so here, Mr.. Lawson. is 81 30 for one
share of National stock which will
give us gallery privileges. 1t will be
we'll worth the price of admission.
ITO your success" Mr.. Lawson.

sive to the independent voter. Jones
support must come from the indepen-
wing of his party antagonistic and
opposed to the old order of things,
ring rule. bossism and corruption.
The alleged King County Compact,
or contract. whereby it was agreed
that in the event of the election of
Piles to the senate that Ankeny
should succeed himself is a good IL
lustration of the offensiveness of
ring rule. In the speech of Senator
Piles he frankly and almost brazenly
admits he was a party to such con-
tract. The Independent voter is
quite apt to ask who gave Mr.. Piles,
or any political boss, or corporate in
terest, the right to barter the office
of United States senator? Not only
one office. but a second one, to be-
come operative four years after such
compact was made. What voter feels
bound by any contract to which he
was not party? What will the
voters who have become voters in
this state since said alleged contract
have to say as to its binding effect on
them? 1t is possible to imagine some
of them using language more en-
phatic than elegant when such pro-
posal is thrown at them.
Yakima people feel confident that
Wesley Jones will be the peoples
choice by a strong majority. They
do and have the right to so feel
without the slightest disparagement
of Senator Ankeny or any other per-
SON Jones came to Yakima when it
was a small inland burg. His deal
ings with his fellow men were hon
orable His ideals high: his charac-
ter strong and of high intellectual
and moral tone; his voice and elo-
quence were always enlisted in the
interest of the best ideas of his
party and the advancement of his
fellow man.
When advanced to work national
in its character he performed his
duties with fidelity and honor to him
self, and in return has brought honor
not only upon his home town and
county. but his state.
He is a most useful servant of all
the people, and as such and for the
reason that the masses want man
to represent them in the United States
who can and will continue of most
effective and beneficial use to them,
Wesley Jones will without the sha-
dow of a doubt receive a handsome
majority of the votes in the pri-
maries, expressing that he is the peo-
pies choice for that high and honor
able office.

Lively Discussion Is IN Over Ohio
Mans Theories.
REMARKABLE DAILY SCENES.
veritable Stampede of Thousands
Anxious to Catch Even Just a
Glimpse of Cooper, the Ohio ecne-
factor.

BOSTON. Feb, 20.-The excitement
Incident to the remarkable work that
IS Icing accomplished in this city by
l.. I. Cooper. of Dayton. Ohio. con-
tinucs undated. Many cases of deaf
ness OF years standing have been
relieved by the young man. ana his
iamc has spread far and wide. AS n
result his headquarters are crowded
daily with people coming from all
parts of the city and from the sur
rounding towns within radius of
twenty-five miles.
There seemed to be considerable
Skepticism ut first as TO Cooper's abil-
lily to do As he claimed. but this feel
ing Is rapidly giving way to one of
confidence. in view of the fact that
the wor. he has so far done has been
clearly proven genius.
In addition to his DIX In relieving
DEAFNESS. Cooper advanced the theory
that stomach trouble was the founda-
ton of nine out of ten diseases. and
claimed to have preparation that
would restore the stomach to working
order. and thus got rid of such
troubles as rheumatism and affections
of the kidneys and liver In about two
weeks time.
This statement seems to have been
borne out by the remarkable results
obtained through the use of this prep.
aration. and now all Boston is appar-
entity mad over the young man.
His headquarters resemble n vorita-
bic stampede. Thousands of people
are visiting him each day. and the
druggists are selling his medicines in
enormous quantities.
What seems to make Cooper still
more popular Is the fact that he prac-
tees extensive charitable work. and
has already dispensed a small fortune
among the poor OF this city.
How long the tremendous interest
IN Cooper will last 1t Is hari to esti-
mate. At present there seems to be
no sign of lct-up. Physicians claim
II to be fad that will die out ms
soon as Cooper leaves.
In justice to him. however. IL must
be said that he already seems to have
accomplished great deal for the s'cl:
of this city with. his preparations.
