The Lynden tribune. [volume] (Lynden, Wash.) 1908-current, 1910-07-28

If there is to be flght IL WIN "
forced by the old organiZatlonlsts' nc
Ipsursent voters of the county hau
believed and still believe that the re-
nublican party is their property de
mnch as it is anybodys. And, just
because they are Insurgent is no fea-
son that they are supporting rom
dexter. Western Washington is our
homa as much as it is someone eise o.
We want our senator to come hoii
Western Washington as much as any
ono else wants it. We are not trying
to split III; the partys vote, put at
tho primaries the Herald will find
thar in the country districts 1t VIII
he progressive republicans, (call them
insurgents if you WISH that get the
votes for nomination. There Is ho
s,lrer method for candidate TO lose
votes than to have it said that ne HAS
been chosen by the organlzatloll-hol
that the republicans are so mucn Up
posed. to the republicans known as
the organization but because they Cd
iect TO having any man or set OIL men
nick out men for party candidates
right they recently assumed themselves
I'm other words the rank ana flle Vi
tha marty. believes it is as COMPETENT
ia select good men for offices, as the
Crganizalin is. and they feel that any
ATTEMPT o., the part of the organlza-
tiou IN pick out candidates is an In
suit to them.
There are plenty of Insurgent re-
publicans. They want the party to
win. They are not rebels. They are
nor PoindeXter men. They are repub-
licans-republicans that hope to make
the party bigger, stronger and clean
er, by purifying it.
I'm awfully glad to get letters from
nv readers. They may not always be
printed the same week | receive them
opy for this page must be in the
Friday before publication, as ruieD
but to the limit of our space we are
glad to give room to pertinent opinions
on any live topic.
nre 0f the most important duties We
have this fall is the selection of our
state legislators. and yet We are hear
ing little about them. That school
teacher over at Ferndale-we don't
recall his name, but it is the same
one who is SO popular in Lynden-is
a candidate for representative. He
% make stem-winder, don't
you think?
One of the reasons we don't like
PoindeXter is that we believe he is an
'Insurgent for votes 1t strikes us
that the Roosevelt incident proves 1t.
He visited Roosevelt. When he came
away he gave out an interview to the
effect that Roosevelt had endorsed his
for the senate. The next
day Roosevelt gave out an interview
that he had not discussed the matter
with Mr.. Poindexter
We have some oats in our window
hat are six feet, ten inches long.
If it wasn't such a miserable pun,
vs'G ask, "how's that for high?"
Guess you better all come to the
Woodmen picnic. Aug.6, and bring
the folks.
ID. l.. Deckes says we have COM
mitted the Tribune to favOrlng a yell
low dog for senator rather than
pOlndeXter We didn't mean to do
Just that. We don't like yellow dogs.
But take yellow and white Scotch
Collie for instance. and,-well we
might sta.d committed.
Most of the hay crop is put away.
From three to six tons to the acre
Was the yield and it's value is $40 IL
ton and upwards.
Smile and the world smiles with
you, bat you don't need to ''haw,
haW about it.
The expression: that beats the
Dutch, Originated in country where
there We're u, Dutchmen. The Dutch
are unbeatable.
One of the prettiest pieces of print
ing and most interesting publications
that has reached the Tribune recent
ly is the Bellingham Herald's Chr
geological. Anecdotal and Biograph-
ical History of Northwestern Wash
ington.' The booklet is just what
the name implies. The history of the
county is from the pen of the late
Edward Eldridge. Biographical sket-
ches are given of most of the present
day prominent men as well as of many
of the pioneers. The cover page is
a work of aria sunset through the
clouds on BeHingham Bay.
