Maurice Langhorne, democratic
nominee for c0naress, made very
favorable impression on his audience
in tae city council room trida eve

fine specimen Of the political iast
and that he had secured the ilsUl st
vote of Chehais county in the u4t
maries under false pretcnces.
In support Of his charses Mr.. Lau--
horne quoted the WaIburton reco'd.
showing from tie Port Townsend Lead
er that while he was posing in South
western Washington as a progressive
republican, lie Indignantly repudiated
the name in jefferson coNnty-the cit

the record of the state senate, Ne
showed the claims of Warburton to
the honor of assisting in enacting the
railroad commission law to he false.
He was proved from the journal. to
have stood with the notorious solid
twenty" in the sessions of 1879 ana
1901 as opposed to every proposition
advanced by the shippers looking lof
relief from railroad eXtortion.
Langhorne read newspaper dis
patch. dated Tacoma. which said that
while in the legislature, Warburton
defied the railroad lobby and worked
for railway commission and for
tax commission. Langhorne then
proceeded to read from the senate
records, showing that Warburton had
voted AGAINST every effort to secure
a railway commission; also that he
voted against practically every blll
aimed at the railroads.

was the most vacliating and uncer-
tain man that had come before the
people in many years; that instead
of fighting the railroads, he had actu-
ally worn the livery of the roads,
been one of their chief henchmen.
He explained that it was no fault
of his that Mr.. Warburton was not
there to refute, if he could, the charg-
es he made. He had challenged ihs
Opponent to a joint discussion, and
had asked him to make a joint tour
of the district, to speak from the same
rostrum, but Warburton would not
face the music Perhaps the most
serious charge he made against War
burton-the present temper of Che
halls county considered-was that he
had assigned the federal patronage OF
the county to w. H. Abel, as an in
ducement for the latter to Withdraw
from the race for the nomination. II
any of the allegations made by Lang
horne against Warburton are untrue,
the latter is making the mistake or
his life in not taking the platform with
his opponent.
A. r. Titlow of Tacoma, followed
Mr.. Langhorne. with an impassioned
anpeal to the voters to help correct
the evils of the tariff by sending to
congress Maurice Langhorne, upon
whom they could depend. Mr.. TitloW
showed that the last congress had
very promptly knocked the props
from under the lumber tariff, while
doing nothing to cheaper sugar, WOOL,
tin, steel or other important artlc-
les.
Mr.. Titlow predicted that Langhorne
would come out of that republican
STRONGHOLD Pierce county. with not
less than 400 votes to spare, ana ap-
peaed TO Chehalis county to heip
make the victory substantial one.
