CARLYON PLAN DEFEATED.

Because it was the first paper in the
county to lead the fight against the
purchase of the Carlyon race track for
a county fair grounds and was the only
paper in Olympia to carry on that
fight, THE WASHINGTON STANDARD feels
particularly gratified over the over
whelming defeat administered to tina.
project in Tuesdays election.
Until it published its first editorial
against the purchase October Is. not 8
newspaper in Olympia or Thurston
county had dared or cared to present
other ways through which the same
end, county fair, could be attained at
much cheaper cost, or had dared or
cared to attack the Carlyon project b.
cause of it's evident and eminent mad
visibility from any point of view.
Yet throughout the campaign the
STANDARD presented both sides of the
question while other publications in
the city posing as newspapers suppress
ed everything that would have tended
to show there was any opposition to
the Carlyon project. They we're deliber-
ately unfair to their readers, dist0rt
ing the news to give the impression
that everybody in the county favored
the purchase. They were bought, as
they have been SO many times before,
by line of advertising.
The STANDARD believes that the peo-
pie of Olympia and Thurston county
will endorse and prefer q newspaper
not ruled by its business Office or by
how much money 1t can make by sup
porting one side or the other of a
question such as this. We believe you
prefer newspaper which will give you
all the news, regardless of its editorial
opinions, and will reserve the express
sion of it's views to its editorial col.
umns instead of suppressing or preju.
dicing its news columns.
The Carlyon project deserved de-
feat. 1t was obviously an attempt
to slip through q large bond is
sue in a crowded election when 1t was
thought the interest and attention of
the average voter would be so directed
elsewhere as to overlook this feature
of the ballot so that the friends of the
measure might carry it. 1t was SO OBJ
viously against the best financial inter-
ests of the county, also. SO obviously a
foolish business idea, so obviously
against the best interests of the county,
that its defeat was amply justified.
