THE Wells Fargo Express Company
still keeps up its heartless, inhuman
practice Of fleeing the public. 1t
should be understood, however that all
other express companies are on par,
and that local agents are innocent and
helpless in this game whereby their
friends and neighbors are openly robbed.

If it is true, as charged by that
Pennsylvania physician, that 10 per
cent Of the druggists sell dope
against the laws; that we are using it
in this country to an increasing extent,
and, as charged by others, that high
er percentage of our people than OF
China use it, the time is ripe not only
for some law but for some good mis-
sionary work.

In informal haf-oficial announcement some
weeks ago, since confirmed by formal announce
nent covering about the same ground, Paul Ciag-
stone speaker of the last house of representatives
thus outlines the platform on which he will stand
in his race for governor:
Il certainly will stand on statewide prohibi-
tion platform for would become a candidate on

81 have been over the state pretty we'll in the
past three months and have talked with many of
the leading business men and politicians. Without
exception they to be of the opinion that state
wide prohibition is the coming issue at the next
campaign For myself believe that it is the pre-
eminent one and that it will attract the attention
and thought of every voter. That local option and
statewide prohibition seem to be the central TOPICS
is evident Local option is generally considered as
the stepping stone to prohibition.
II am strongly in favor of the conservation of
resources for the benefit of the average citizen be-
gun by Clifford Pinchot and President Roosevelt and
continued by President Taft and Secretary Ballin-
ger. firmly believe in following out the plans adj
vocated by these patriotic statesmen as to resources
of state lands. The people of this state should
at the earliest possible moment ask for legislation
which will prevent water power sites these state
lands from being monopozed by private parties
but which would provide for their being leased for
years
emphatcally take issue with the proposed plan to
turn back the power sites located within the forest
reserves to state control until proper legislation has
assured the conservation of these resources for the
people.
The recent agitation the high cost of v-
ing seems to indicate that adequate antitrust
legislation at the session of the legislature would
be advisable If elected, / shall urge such action
81 do not believe that the people will stand for
pre-drect primary convention to be held in the
state for the purpose of deciding candidates. The
direct primary was hardly enacted in order to pro-
vide for convention of delegates to select the par
ty candidates The law does provide for plat
form convention at which the party platform
be drawn up and adopted on which the candidates
will stand. The direct primary should be allowed
to its to allow the people to judge wheth
er not they want it. The people want action
and less politics. hold now and always have held
that public officer is servant of the people, and
