plain political crook.

man-lndex is willing to lend it's aid to the disrup
tionists of its party. The former brewery owner
probably has right to do as he pleases with his
own paper A liquor man who for political gain
Will fight his own friends is undoubtedly crooked
enough to use republican money to support demo-

ports an honest for Office, it is doubtful if the
local corruptonist is adding anything good to the
reputation of the republican rebels.
Poindexter was democrat. He wanted office.
He saw that the people wanted republican in
office, so he became a republican. Now he sees
that the people want man with democratic prin-
cples in Office, so he becomes democrat. If he
should find that the people want socialist, mug
wump or straight-back, he would probably be-
come such. He is man who is all things to all
men, like some of his boosters and while Red Top
doesn't claim to possess all the known virtues, he
would be willing to sit up quite late for several
nights for the simple satisfaction of putting such
man out of business
This nation needs honest men, who have convic-
tions and who have the nerve to stand by them,
even IN congress-.

ing Congress in invitations to President Taft and
Theodore Roosevelt urging them to attend the
fifth session of the congress in Spokane Oct. 36.
The invitations will be conveyed by special COM
missioners to the White House and Colonel Roose-
velt's home.
The invitations to President Taft and Colonel
Roosevelt have no political significance. The Dry
Farming Congress has nothing to do with politics
or partisanship and if they accept our invitations,
nothing of political nature will be permitted to
interfere with the plans of their entertainment.
Plans to unite the commercial organizations of
the west in urging the chief executive of the nation
and Colonel Roosevelt to be guests of the people
of Spokane the first week in October were formu-
lated at the last meeting of the trustees of the
chamber of commerce, and Secretary Monroe was
instructed to take up the matter with the various
bodies in Washington Oregon, Idaho California,
Montana, Utah, Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming and
other western states.

Norris, and herd of other so-called insurgents"

locusts in an effort to elevate the democratic con-
gresham from the third district to the senate
Acknowledging the national reputation of the SPELL
binders who threaten to inundate the state in inter-
ests of an unworthy candidate fnordinate egotism
it can be said they are ignorant of the conditions
existing in Washington, and their coming is liable
to throw the state in the democratic column. -
