MONTESANO, Oct 16.--The result
of the contest between w. A. Fuller
and Fred Rosmond for the republican
nomination for county commissioner
for the first district has worked up
much feeling throughout the district.
Right or wrong, a feeling exists that
Fuller was jobbed out Of the nOmina-
ton in some manner. 1t is pointed
out that Rosmond, as auditor, had
custody of the ballots since the pri-
mary, and some of his best friends
are not slow to say he made mis-
take in not applying to the court to
appoint another custodian Of the bal
lots i'll which he had such deep per
sonal interest, and thus avoid sus
pici0n that was sure to attach ii the
contest resulted in his favor.
But, underlying opposition to ROs-
mond is "a disposition to unsaddle W.
II. Abel from his assumed domination
in the affairs of Chehaiis county.
whose instrument the candidate is
generally believed to be. 1hat this
disposition is not confined to the first
commissioner district is evident TO
those who talk with visitors 20 the
county seat, from all parts Of the
county. Chehalis county is weary Of
Abeiism, ana the belief is general that
the defeat of Rosmond will leave that
politician without control in single
county ofiice-a condition that has
NOT existed in the past ten years.
There is no partyism in this senti-
ment. Regardless of party afuli@-
tiOns, the taxpayer sees that he toots
the bills of Abelisn and has grown
tired. TO such an extent bas thi5
sentiment grown in the past few days,
that it would not be surprising if Mr..
Fuller would be the candidate on the
Democratic ticket against RQalond.
Fuller is a lifelong republican, but
the views of a county commissioner
on the policies of the federal govern
ment are OF small importance COM
pared with an honest desire to serve
the people, who foot the bills OF in
competent or controlled officials.
The Democratic County Central
committee is called to meet here next
Tuesday, October 1S, to fill vacancies
on their ticket, under the provisions
of the primary law. J. j. Anderson,
of Elma who received the democratic
nomination for commissioner in the
first district, has resigned aud & move
ment is on foot to eliminate party
prejudice from the election OF pure
ly business official, in the effort TO dis
lodge Abel, by the nOmina ton OF Full
