VIC. MURDOCH
HERE TONIGHT

Congressman Murdoch of Kan
sas, orator at tonight's progressive
republican meeting at the Audi
forum, will arrive in Spokane at
4:30 this afternoon and be escorted
to the Spokane hotel. He will re-
main in the city probably until
some time tomorrow Afternoon.
Reemer's band will escort the
speaker to the theater tonight and
play on the street before the meet
ing opens. A. w. Doland has been
chosen tot preside over the gather
ing and one hundred of the more
active members of the PoindeXter
Progressive club will be honorary
vice-presidents of the gathering.
Congressman Murdoch was in the
forefront of the fight on Joe Can
non and in all other scraps in the
lower house | which the insurgents
faced the standpatters. He is an
interesting talker and comes with
story worth hearing.
Friends Of popular government
have heason to rejoice over the
fact that the bulk of the candidates
for legislative positions on the re-
publican ticket in the state have
taken the pledge to stand by the
peoples choice for United States
senator. There was a well organ
ICED movement on foot six weeks
ago to defeat the popular will by
electing men to the legislature who
were not pledged. However, the
matter was given such publicity
and the determination was made
known to knife any man who re-
naged on the popular choice, until
the fellows who would have liked
to duck were afraid to come into
the open. OF the IS republican
candidates for legislative positions
in King county, all but one have
taken the pledge, All of the repub-
lican candidates for the legislature
in Spokane are pledged to abide by
the will of the people.

w. l.. LaFollette, the Palouse
farmer. and cousin of the great La

sjected the first life into the con-
tgressional campaign. LaFollette
has the courage of his convictions
and says it is fight of the people
against the interests.
The matter of a first and second
choice for United States senator in
the primaries is not yet settled. The
text of the primary law says that
there shall be first and second
choice votes for congressional
candidates" which would mean
