The stalwarts have suffered through
blindness of factional leaders, and are
destined to suffer. They allege ex-
travagance of the present state ad-
ministration and make it their issue
The records refute the allegation by
showing the same rate of state tax
alton existed during Elrod's tenure as
at this time. This sort of misrepre-
'sentation has disguised the people and
caused the Elrod campaign to become
devoid of interest to the extent he
may retire from the race for governor
which is not unlikely nor improb-
able. Elrod is a good man with old
fogy political attachments who is be-
ing crucified on u cross of misrepre-
sentation.

The cold weather of the past week
is holding back the ripening of the
liberia peaches. Saturday night 20
cars of fruit were shipped out of
here, pretty well divided between the
east and west. The shipments are
averaging about 20 carloads per day.
1t was expected that by the latter
part of last week the carload ship
ments would average fully so cars
but owing to the cold weather the
Elbertas are not ripening as fast as
was expected. This is proving very
fortunate circumstance owing to the
fact that there is quite a congestion
of fruit in the big markets and as
a result the prices have declined and
there are but few orders. Several
of the representatives of the Seattle
commission houses left for the Sound
Saturday night and state that they
will not return until the market inn
proves. While considerable fruit is
being sent east, yet it is uncertain
just what the returns will be.
Pears and summer apples are still
bringing good prices.

F. Fl. WISWELL DIES
Rancher Injured in Runaway Unable
to Rally from the Accident.

Frank H. Wiswell died last night
at 9:45 as the result Of injuries re-
ceived one week ago Saturday while
loading some lumber. He was
standing between the wheels and the
horses ran away, dragging him some
distance. DR.. Mccoy made a des-
perate fight to save the mans life,
performing a very delicate operation
to relieve a hemorrhage of the brain
ana remove clot of blood also. At
first it was thought success would
result, but Mr.. Wiswell gradually
failed during the past few days. Be-
ing 65 years of age, he did not have
sufficient vitality to withstand the
frightful shock
Frank H. Wiswell has a brother,
George, who resides here and who is
his partner in the ownership of their
orchard northwest of the city. The
deceased came here from Maine,
where he has two sons now residing.
Mrs. Wiswell, the wife, and another
son, are in the city. Funeral ar
rangements will be announced later.

PASSENGER AGENT
INTERESTED
Great Northern Official
Owns 80 Acres Near
Winthrop.

w. A. Ross and wife, of Seattle.
are in the city today. Mr.. Ross is
assistant general passenger agent of
the Great Northern railway, and he
is here for the purpose of gaining
some information relative to fruit
growing. Mr.. Ross recently purchased
80 acres of land in the Methow val
ley and he wants to get this in Or
chard just as soon as possible, and
also to get it in under the most i'm
proved conditions. Mr.. Ross was
driven out to the Clarke orchard this
morning by W. T. Clarke in his auto.
and he also visited other prominent
orchards here this forenoon, studying
varieties and planting methods. He
has in view the planting of Spleen
bergs, Winesaps and Jonathans on
his Methow valley place. and he will
get in quite an acreage this fall.
Mr.. Ross, like great many other
Great Northern officials, is interest
ing himself very heavily in Column
bia river fruit lands, and nearly
every official of any prominence on
the western division of the road has
holdings at Wenatchee, East Wen
atchee, Peshastin or in the MethOw
valley.

PEAR PRICES HOLD
GOOD
G.. B. Lanham Receives Tel
egram That Bartletts
Net $1.31.

G.. B. Lanham was in receipt of a
telegram this morning from G. M. H.
Wagner & Sons, Chicago, that a two
carload shipment of pears, which ar
rived in Chicago Saturday morning,
averaged $1.31 per box net. The
telegram states that the market con-
tinues some easier under heavier re-
ceipts. The weather was cool there
at that time. Better trade conditions
are expected this week.
Auction Sales Low.
The Chicago Daily Fruit Bulletin,
under date of August Is, states that
two carloads of Bartlett pears were
received from Cashmere, one car
selling from $1.55 to $40, or an
average of $1.84. The other car sold
from IS cents to $1.75, or an average
of $1.45. The Flemish Beauty sold
from $1.O5 to $50, or an average
of $1.37. Clapp's Favorite sold at
So cents to 81. 35o,r an average of
go cents. Fall Butter pears sold at
$1.25.
Inasmuch as the total cost to ship
a box of pears to Chicago and selling
the same costs about 80 to 95 cents,
the shippers of these pears are faring
very sadly in the hands of the auc-
ton.

DRYS GETTING BUSY
Formidable Movement Being Started
to Combat Efforts of ''Wets."

Immediately after the announce
ment that a petition would be circu-
lated by the saloon people of Wenat-
chez to bring about another election
on the question as to whether or not
saloons would be permitted in the
city, number of the prominent
"drys" of the community began to get
busy and have formed an organization
for the purpose of combating the
"wets" and propose to defend the rec
ord made in Wenatchee under dry
administration for the past year.
The drys of the community feel
that they have nothing to apologize
for, that the business situation war
rants thorough investigation, and
they will insist that the question as
to whether Wenatchee will again en-
ter the saloon business shall be
threshed out on its merits.
With the above aim in view a COM
mittee of business men of the city
has been appointed as a press COM
mittee, and from time to time will
give the public the benefit of their
investigations.
The members of the committee
state that they have found beyond a
doubt that the instigators of this Pc
tition were former saloon men of
Wenatchee backed up by outside in
fluence, and it is deemed unneces-
sary to state what influence would
be most likely to do such thing.
They further state that a very few
of the business men of the city have
signed the petition which is being
circulated by Charles Becker, also
that many of the persons who signed
the petition will vote dry when the
time comes. The investigation fur
nishes proof that the vets are thor
oughly organized to the end that
every voter who is known to be wet
is being rushed in to register. A
casual glance through the registra-
ton books by anyone familiar with
conditions is all that is necessary TO
convince one of this fact.
Before the campaign closes the
drys intend to make a complete
showing of the city records relative
to the economic changes brought
about under dry regime, and will
show some remarkable transforma-
tons in the police records when COM
pared with a year ago. COMMITTEE.

INSPECT NEW ROAD
Getting Ready to Build Road From
Peshastin to LeavenWOrth.

Commissioner Kinney of the Sec
ond district and State Engineer But
Ter, of the Spokane division of the
state road commission, have been
making personal investigation of the
proposed roadway from Leavenworth
to Peshastin which is to receive state
aid but is to be built and maintained
by the county.
The present road is one of the
worst in the county, involving a
grade of 20 per cent and being very
rocky. The new highway will elm
mate this steep grade and will be
kept in good condition.
Much contention has arisen over
the expenditure of the state aid
money for this purpose. Some of the
leading Wenatchee citizens, notably
w. T. Clark, are agitating the use
of this money on North Wenatchee
avenue outside the city limits.

Forest Officers Telephoned Kittitas
Sheriff That Men Were Seen at
Head of Nahum Canyon.

Word was received by the Daily
World from Ellensburg that forestry
officers had telephoned the Kittitas
county officers that two of the men
who broke jail at Wenatchee recently
had been camping at the Taylor
sheep camp at the head of Nahum
canyon and were on their way over
the mountains to the Sound. The
Kittitas officials notified the officers
of the upper end of the county to be
on a sharp lookout for the men.
Sheriff Ferguson of this county has
had no information of the Jail break
ers at all, but has been basing his
conclusions to the effect that the men
after their escape left for the Sound.

side to First Greek.

County Surveyor Berry will go up
to Lake Chelan tomorrow morning
for the purpose of surveying an ex-
tension of the county road along the
south shore. This road at present
ends at point about four and a half
miles west of Lakeside. In order to
reach First Creek from that point it
is necessary now to take a road
which runs over very steep grade
up the mountain into the Bear Greek
country. If the new road goes
through, which Mr.. Berry will sur
vey, there will be a continuous road
at water level the entire distance
from Lakeside to First Greek. This
will afford accommodation for about
125 families in the vicinity of First
Creek
The settlers are so anxious to have
the enterprise put through that they
have made a proposition to bear
half the expense with the county.
The project is looked upon with
great favor in Wenatchee, because
this will afford new and very at
tractive route for autos in making
the trip from this city to Chelan.
Going up Navarro coulee they will
get an easier grade than any other
route and the ride along the lake
shore for seven miles will be one of
the most scenic routes in all the
world.

|SAYS COMMITTEE SHOULD
SUPPORT PARTY CANDIDATE
President Taft in Letter to Chairman of Congressional
Committee Says That Republicans Progressives or
Standpatters Should be Given the Aid of Committee
in Campaign Views on Tariff

New York, Aug. 29.-President
Taft's letter to w. B. Mckinley,
chairman of the republican congress
sional committee, was made public
tonight by the New York headquar-
tiers of the committee. The presi-
dent in the communication says that
differences between republicans
should be forgotten in the congress
sional election, and that all repub-
licans who believe in the party prin-
ciples as declared in its national
platform of 1908 should give the
candidates loyal and effective sup
port. If this is done there will be no
doubt of return of a republican
majority.
AS to the tariff, the president
says:
1T seems to me that all repub-
llcans-cOnservativ progressive and
radical-may we'll abide the situa-
ton with respect to the tariff until
evidence now beng accumulated
shall justify changes in the rates"
Mr.. Taft's plan for revision by
congress of individual schedules
after investigation by the tariff COM
mission is discussed in this connec-
ton.
The president reviews the more
important legislation enacted by con-
gross in fulfillment of its promises,
and says:

KNOCKS J. l. WILSON'S STATE CONTROL THEORY
Roosevelt in Great Speech in Denver Today Gives His
Idea of Conservation Holding That There is But
One Practical Formulation Has Been Slow in Re-
serving the Enormous Water Powers.

Denver, Colo, Aug. 29.-With the
entire city dressed in patriotic attire
and with the strains of martial music
heard on every hand, Denver today
gave an enthusiastic welcome to Col.
Theodore Roosevelt and to thousands
of other visitors to the seventh an
nual national encampment of the
United Spanish War Veterans. The
greeting to the old colonel of the
Rough Riders was as noisy as human
voices, steam whistles and guns could
make it and as cordial in words as in
other manifestations of patriotic joy.
Seldom in her history has Denver
ever entertained so large crowd.
The city's ordinary population was
swelled by thousands of visitors from
all parts of Colorado and by the hum
dreds of delegates from all over the
country to the convention of the
Spanish war veterans. Many distin-
guished guests were present in addi-
ton to the ex-president of the United
States. Included among them were
Gen. ]. Franklin Bell, Gen. Frederick
Funston and Col. William ]. Bryan.
A military escort was in waiting at
the Union station to receive Colonel
Roosevelt on his arrival in the city
at 1875 this morning. Col. Edward
J. Gihon of Massachusetts,, comman-
der-in-chief of the Spanish war veter-
ans, and Mayor Robert w. Speer and
the members of the reception commit
tee appointed by him, greeted the ex-
president and his party when they
alighted from the special train, &C
companied by Governor Shafroth and
staff.
Colonel Roosevelt delivered two
speeches during the afternoon. The
first was made at the Auditorium un-
der the auspices of the Colorado Live
stock association, and the second was
delivered in the same place later in
the udy I'D the opdulSA wal fCICio Ao
One of the features of the days pro-
gramme which the ex-president en-
joyed most was the cowboy luncheon
at Overland park, which he attended
as the guest of the Denver Press
club.
To the Spanish war veterans Col
onel Roosevelt outlined his views on
conservation as follows:
This country has shown definite
signs of waking up to the absolute
necessity of handling its natural re-
sources with foresight and common
sense. The conservation question
has three sides. In the first place
the needless waste of natural re-
sources must be stopped. 1t is rapid

Writing in Name of Other
Party's Candidate Can
Not Be Counted.

That is voter at the primary
writes in or pastes, in the name, on
the party ballot he is voting, the
name or names of candidates of an
other party or ticket, the votes count
only as a candidate of the party
whose ballot is SO voted, and not for
the candidate on the other ticket, is
the view taken in an unofficial opin-
ion of the attorney general. The
question came up on request for in
formation from Attorney General
Bell and, while no official opinion
was submitted, an unofficial view
was stated.
The primary law provides that the
voter may write in or paste in the
names of candidates other than those
printed on the official ballot land
the same shall be counted as If print
ed on the ballot and marked by the
voter" The question was, counted
how? If the name of a republican
candidate should be written or pasted
in the democratic ballot, would it be
counted for that candidate or added
to his republican vote, or entirely
separate as a democratic candidate?
The latter is the view taken by the
attorney general. 1t is pointed out
by the attorney general that If the
name was printed on the ballot and
marked for the voter" it would be
counted only as candidate of that
party for the primary election. And
furthermore that the entire intent of
the primary law was to provide a
means of party nomination by direct
vote of the voters of each party. II
the democrats would write in the
names of republican candidate, and
have 1t counted for the candidate in

STATE POTATO CROP WILL. Be SHORT
DR.. Saunders Returned from
Palouse Saturday Frost
There Was Heavy.

DR.. Saunders returned Saturday
from a weeks stay in the Palouse
country, being called to Garfield on
account of the very serious illness Of
his sister with typhoid fever.
DR.. Saunders states that notwith-
standing the general impression that
the wheat crop of the state is very
short, yet the Palouse country har-
vested about 60 per cent of a crop.
Potatoes, however, according to DR..
Saunders, will be very short this
year. While he was in the Palouse
country a heavy frost killed the vines
and the Palouse country will be an
importer rather than exporter of po-
tatoes this year. DR.. Saunders states
that as far as he can learn that all
over the state the potato crop is very
short. Frosts worked havoc with the
vines on the Sound last week also,
and his prediction is that for the first
time in a great many years pota-
toes will have to be shipped into this
state. 1t is stated that the Water
Vile country will be very short this
year also in the potato crop.
That Columbia county's potato
crop was damaged seriously by the
frost of last week is the effect of re-
ports of growers living in different To-
calities On the foothill land, where
is grown the bulk of the potato crop
here, few fields escaped the freeze,
and owing to the lateness of the crop
the damage will amount to hundreds
Of dollars. In places the vines were
killed outright.
In the country east and southeast
of Dayton the heaviest damage was
done. Potatoes in the valley which
were earlier were injured but slightly
