A CANDIDATE only IN RESPONSE
TO PUBLIC DEMAND.
"BUD" WILSON is MORE THAN
THE NOMINEE OF A POLITICAL
PARTY--HE REPRESENTS THE
GROWING REVOLT AGAINST
THE EVILS OF ABELiSM.

The nomination of C. n. Wilson for
county commissioner for the first dis
trict by the Democratic County Cen
trail Committee can scarcely be con-
sdered a partisan nomination. Mr.
Wilson, with extreme reluctance, only
permitted the use Of his name before
that committee when appealed to by
representative men in every walk of
life in Chehalis county, to sacrifice
his personal interests in the revolt
against Abelism in Chehais county. a
revolt that is overshadowing all other
issues in this county today. Many
ask why Bud" Wilson was thus cen
tered upon to defeat the Abel candi.
date. thwart the Abel-Davis combine
and eliminate Boss Abel from the
management of the affairs of Cheha-
lis county. The answer is not diff
cult. Although 1t is some years since
Wilson occupied an official position
and is in no sense an office seeker.
he is a nan we'll and favorably known
to the older residents of the county
as thoroughly honest, capable and
trustworthy.
"Bud" Wilson is Pacific Coast
product, having been born in Butte
county. California. in 1866. When he
was ten years old his parents moved
to OREGON and 1883 came to Monte
san0, where he has since resided. with
the exception of a short time he was
engaged in the hardware business in
SnChoTish county.
His education was completed in
Montseano. and during his long resi-.
dence in that city he has gained All
enviable reputation for genial man
ner. excellent business capacity and
sterling integrity. On leaving sctoO'
Mr.. Wilson engaged in business, and
served four terms a city treasurer Of
Montesan0. In 1896. he was elected
county treasurer. and was reelected
in 1898, serving the constitutional
limit of two terms.
On leaving the office of county treas
urer, he went to Snohomish county
to engage in business in 1901. Sell
ing out his interests there in 1904.
he returned to Cheheis county. and
with John Carlisle established a gen
eral merchandise business at Sat
sop. This venture was so successful
that last year, Wilson & Carlisle re-
ceived an offer TO purchase that was
too attractive to decline, and they
sold. Coming back to MOntesanO,
they purchased the furniture business
of f.. Fl. Storey, which they are now
conducting with hattering success.
The voters of Chehalis county will
make no mistake in choosing Bud
Wilson for county commissioner. The
older residents remember the cour-
teous but firm businesslike manner in
which he conducted the office of treas
urer. and know he will give eminent
satisfaction to the county at large.
Make mistakes he may. but they will
be his own and will not be made at
the dictation of anybody. He stands
for an honest cruise and valuation
of timber lands for taxation purposes,
and square deal for everybody. Be
tween Wilson and Rosmond, consider
ing the affiliations of he latter. the
voter at ell acquainted with cOndi-
tiOns in this county should have no
difficulty in deciding to cast his vote
on November s. for c. n. Wilson for
commissioner for the first district.
