The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1910-09-10

The Daily World, however, is firm !
in the conviction that the man who |
could best serve the county is Thos. |
H. Atkinson. of Entiat. He is |
younger and more vigorous man. He
is closer in touch with the busy
world of today and does not live so
much in the past. He is keen, alert
and is better able to represent his
constituency than a men in his sew
enty- ninth year.
Thos. H. Atkinson is a big and
broad enough man for congress. He
| is a talented speaker. Most of the
fruit growers of this valley re-
| member that at the last session of
the State Horticultural Association
| held in this city, Wenatchee desired
the presidency of the organization
for the coming year. 1t was decided
to make W. T. Clark the candidate
| for the office. A combination was
affected against Wenatchee by some
of the other sections and j. L. Du-
mas was named by the opposition.
1t looked for a time as though there
was no hopes of Wenatchee winning.
Thos H. Atkinson, however, stepped
into the breach and by his convinc-
ing eloquence stampeded the conven-
| NJ rly nd "a dow
| for Wenatchee His eloquence was
never more manifest than at that
time. He has the cold, clear logic
| to blend with his wonderful COM
mand of English and rarely fails of
winning his point in an argument.
He is good mixer and as
| legislator would be popular. The
man who can do the best work for
his county in the state law-maklnS
body is the man who has the ability
, to make the acquaintance and gain
the confidence of his fellow men,
bers. The gift of being able to lead
men is particularly Mr.. Atkinson's.
His long career in public life has
fitted him for this work, and it is |
freely predicted by his friends that
If elected from this county that
there will be no more popular nor
useful member than he.
Another instance of the ability of
Mr.. Atkinson to captivate an audi
dence was at the recent visit to this
city of the Tacoma boosters. Some |
hundred delegates, with large
gathering of Wenatchee citizens
were assembled in the Commercial
Club rooms in honor of the visitors.
Mr.. Atkinson was called upon. Re
spending in way all his own he
carried away that audience ana Ia
coma visitors to this day in discuss
ing the trip made by them refer to
that speech made by that rancher.'
At the close of the meeting he was
surrounded by the visitors and made
an honory member of their organl-
cation, an honor extended to no
others in this city.
In brief, T. H. Atkinson has these
qualifications favoring his candidacy:
Cd He has the brains, and the
ability to acquit himself with credit
to himself and to his constituents
not only in the legislature of this
state but is a man big enough for
congress.
CD He is a real grower of big
red apples ana vitality interested in
the horticultural development OF
North Central Washington.
CD He is young and vigorous.
and is full of the enthusiasm which
characterizes the people of this sec
ton of the state. Suecinctly, Mr..
Atkinson is a Live one.
"a He is one of the best, and
probably THE BEST public speaker
in North Central Washington. They
are still talking about his speeches
in the Okanogan.
((5) He is natural born legis-
lator and for years has made
study of political and economic sub
jects. CHELAN COUNTY CANNOT
AFFORD TO SEND ANY BUT HER
STRONGEST MEN TO THE LEGIS-
| LATURE
