Seattle and Poindexter.

A vote for Miles Poindexter is a vote
against Seattle, q vote against the en-
tire western half of this commonwealth.
Poindexter in the senate will be Sc
attle's enemy; not because he has any
personal feeling against Seattle, or
against the people of Seattle, but be-
cause he stands for policies which are
directly opposed to the interests of this
city. For exactly the same reason his
election would be decided disadvantage
to the whole western part OF the state.
Wholly in sympathy with the insur-
gents OF the interior states, Poindexter's
influence and Poindexter's vote in the
senate would be in favor OF policies
which, il enforced, would strike a heavy
blow at the material well being of West
ern Washington. Seattle cannot pro-
gress or prosper unless Western Wash
ington progresses and prospers.
Whenever the heavy hand OF insur-
gency is laid on the industries and ma
terial interests OF the western part OF the
state, inevitably Seattle will share in the
losses which are bound to follow. The
fact is that since Seattle is the heart and
center of this great section, this city
would suffer more from policies favored
by the insurgents and democrats than
would any other city in the western part
OF the state.
1t is time for the substantial men OF
this community to consider the gravity
of the present situation. King county
republicans can defeat Poindexter. Very
largely the issue is with the republicans
OF this county. They should weigh the
situation with care, for responsibility for
whatever may happen will rest upon
them.
While they yet have time they should
make certain the defeat of the man who
will stand in the path Of this city's pro
gress and strike down industries upon
which this city must so largely depend.
They can do it. They should do it. Ii
they are wise they will do it.-Seattle

Boss Kegley may throw the Grange
vote to Poindexter but we don't believe
he can deliver the goods Leigh R. Free
man, who has always been affiliated with
farming interests and has done a good
work in the development and settlement
OF the Pacific Northwest, resents the at
tempt Of Mr.. Kegley to deliver the
farmer vote to the Spokane lawyer and
politician. In making the attempt Keg-
ley stultifes the organization and every
member thereof, for it is expressly stated
in its charter that the organization shall
not be drawn into politics. Kegley, as
an individual, has right to vote as his
conscience dictates, but he has no right
to trade, or atteA- pit to trade, the Grange
vote. What is there in it for Kegley ?
Why should farmers vote for Poindexter?
What has he done for them or ATTEMPTED
to doP Promises, not deeds, ia his

Poindexter's Democratic Allies.

The president and treasurer, and fully
one-half of the membership of Miles
Poiudexter's skinny Walla Walla organ
ization are democrats.
What does it mean? Do the democrats
OF Washington intend deliberately to
violate the letter and spirit of the direct
primary law? 1t looks that way.
Mr.. Poindexte name will be on the
republican ticket. and democrats who
call for republican tickets merely to vote
for Mr.. Poindexter will be subject to
challenge and oath, and if in the ensuing
general election they vote contrary tc
the oaths thew take in the primary cleo
ton. they will be guilty OF perjury.
No honest man, whether democrat, re
publican or whatnot, would periure him
self merely to accommodate an ambitious
politician.
Democrats ought to keep out Of the
republican primaries. Republicans must
be prepared to keep them out. Demo-
Gratis who try to vote in the republican
primaries should be challenged and
sworn.
Democrats who wish to vote for Mr.
Poindexter for senator can do 80 by
pasting sticker over George F. Cot
terill's name on the democratic ticket
and they cannot lawfully or morally dc
it in any other way.-Seattle Post-In.

The Trade Register, published at Seat

journal published in the Pacific North
west, which has no political affiliations,
has this to say of Pinchot and Pinchot-
ism: "Pinchot is out with another talk
on conservation and tries to use the
enormous losses sustained by forest fres
instead of allowing the timber to be
used commercially and the land titled to
provide for the wants of increasing pop
ulation, which producers are failing to
do. Pinchotism seems only to excuse
the martrydon OF the foresters cremate ted

Dishonorabie Methods Resorted To

Sizing up the political situation aud
the candidacy Of Seabury Merritt for
congress the Creston News has this to
say OF the means resorted to to defeat
him;
at is of course natural that the OPP
position would take any advantage of
any weakness, or apparent weakness,
and the position or public utterances of
candidate OF the republican party for
the purpose Of creating a prejudice
against him, but it is never honorable,
and rarely successful, to manufacture
these weaknesses, or alleged weaknesses,
out OF the raw material for campaign
! purposes. This has been attempted
against Seabury Merritt by the insurgent
forces. few days ago the Spokesman
Review in it's news columns, with the
change Of a single word, said for him ex
| actly the opposite Of what he has been
saying for himself all over the district,
| and then read him lecture on conser-
walton with it's own error as a text.
Others accuse him OF 'straddling' because
| he favors harmony and deprecates fac
tional divisions 10 the party. In the
latter position he stands with Taft, who
wants harmony, but harmony on the
basis of sound republicanism and that
will enable the administration to sue
cessfully complete the program on which
it has made SO fine a progress so far.
Mr.. Merritt is man Of mature mind,
sound judgment, liberal ideas, and at the
same time good administration repub-
lcan and we believe fully worthy of our
sunDOrtO

Why didn't Miles Poindexter say some
thing about insurgency two years age
when he ran for congress? He ran az 8
republican and pledged himself to stand
by the party platform and support re
publican principles, which he has not
done. If things are "intolerable" now
they we're ''intolerable" then. If repub-
licans had known then, as they know
now, the wolf in sleeps clothing would
be scrapping for living in Spokane in
stead OF misrepresenting his constitu

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years, was supposed to
be incurable. For great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by f. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure
on the market. It is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to teaspoonful. It acts direct
" on the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred dollars for
any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials.

The withdrawal Of John L. Wilson
from the senatorial contest clears the
political atmosphere. 1t means the cleo
ton of Judge Thomas Burke to that
exalted position. No greater calamity
could happen the people OF the state

and Poindexterism foisted upon it for
the next six years.

the heart Of a judge of stone melt
with sorrow. The petition was filed
in the district court yesterday.
Mrs. Ross requires two pages in
which to enumerate her tale Of woes.

Of the document
The plaintiff charges her husband
with running off with one Emma
Hawkins to live in adultery in Kansas
City, Kan. She says that she is too
poor to follow and investigate the
real facts in the case,
Another black mark placed against
the name Of the defendant is that he
induced her to sign a mortgage TO the
home place before the disappearance
Of Ross with the other woman, which
he has never attempted to pay Off
and that he has left the whole debt
for her to pay.
Another clause Of the petition re.
cites that the plaintiff Is q poor
woman and takes in washing and has
to live very scant in order to keer
up the interest on the mortgage
Wherefore, the plaintiff prayS

tween plaintiff and defendant nullet
