lican national platform of 1905; for
his great craftsmanship looking to the
welfare of our entire country and
every part thereof, and particularly
for his faithful supl ort of legislation
for the reclamation of the arid lands
of the west. We pledge him our sup
port and confidence in the future.
Confidence in Ballingcr.
We express our confidence in the
honesty, ability and patriotism of
| Hon. Richard a. Ballnger, secretary
of the interior, and our approval of
| his official acts We indorse those
members of the state delegation in
congress who have upheld the poll
ces of the administration. We APP
prove and indorse Gov. NJ. +. Hay
and the state administration and COM
pliment the republican county Off
Gals upon their faithfullness to duty
and their economical administration
of county affairs.
The battle-ground for any issues
concerning the conservation of our
public lands, water-rights, mines or
forests, should be in the public land
| states. The non-public land states
have nothing but sentm inter-
est in such questions, and no fair UNI
derstanding of them. Their inter-
ference constitutes an injustice to the
west.
We commend the course and con-
duct of our fellow-ctizen, the Honor
able Wesley l.. Jones, as United
States senator and congratulate him
upon the great work he has accom-
pl'shed and upon the high rank he
has attained in the greatest legisla-
tive body of our land. His untring
efforts on behalf of our nation, our
state and the valley of Yakima have
been guided by wisdom and are fully
appreciated by all our people.
Favor West Side Senator.
1t has been wise custom, adhered
to ever since our state was admitted
to the union, to elect one United
States senator from each side Of the
Cascade mountains. We believe that
the continuance of this custom is for
the best interest of the state and the
party, and more especially those of
, Yakima county. The next United
western Washington. This we hold
in view of the fact that the election
of an eastern Washington man will
operate against the reelection of
Senator Jones four years hence.
We voice our appreciation of the
high legal attachments and consci-
entious devotion to duty of our chief
justice. Frank II. Rudkin. and in
struct the delegation to the state con-
vention to use all honorable means
to secure his denomination for the
, position which he now holds.
We believe that the maintenance of
: the integrity of the political parties
is an essential of good government
f and we are of the opinion the direct
primary law of the state should be so
amended that voters of neither par
+ ty may interfere in the affairs of the
, other.
We favor the amendment of the
, state horticultural laws in such a way
, that Yakima county fruitmen may,
with the aid of the local authorities,
more effectively protect their or
chards against fruit pests.
