EDGE WOULD SIMPLIFY LAWS
Democratic Candidate for Lieutenant

Lester p. Edge of Spokane. Demo
cratic candidate for lieutenant COVER

advancing his arguments for nomina-
ton. THE legislature seems to be
possessed by mania for legislation
Our laws are noted for their quantity
and not for their quality. | am un-
alterably opposed to any further Iegis-
lation unless some actual public ne
cessity exists.
Cur state government is becoming
top-heavy with commissions, boards,
departments and governmental ma
cninery-the products of unwise Icgis-
iatIOn. These are cumbersome and ex-
pensive. Many of them should be
abolished, others trimmed down to a
practical and economical basis. The
taxpayers are paying too much for
what they are receiving from the state
government
Should l preside over the. sessions
OF the state senate, will actively OBJ
pose the passage of any laws except
those for which there is an imperative
public need. We should return as soon
as possible to simplicity of law and
simplicity of administration. Too
much good fellowship exists in the
state legislature and bills go through
on a friendship basis. l am opposed
to this practice, and if given oppor-
tunity will do what | can to terminate
it."

CHARLES DRURi, RUNNING FOR
CONGRESS FEARLESS DEMOCRAT
fnrcman Would Place second District
on Map with Wilson ut Washington.

Asking for the nomination as con-
gresham from the Second district is
a man who is known among his friends
as fearless Democrat, one who
stands behind what he thinks is right
Charles DruTy OF Tacoma. AS he ad
OF the Washington delegation to the
Baltimore convention, he was an ar
dent supporter of Bryan and Wilson;
i'll other words, he was right
He has been a resident of Tacoma
for the last % years. He served for
years on the school board there, lead
ing in the erection of that city's best
schools and i'll the building of the
high school and stadium He is a
man who does what he thinks is right,
regardless of the consequences, who
looks for the results in spite OF the
criticism and he is careful to he al
ways right.
"A vote for Charles Drury," says
the Progressive Democrat of Tacoma,
which heartily endorses his candi-
dacy, will put the district in touch
with the incoming Wilson administra-
ton at Washington. He was an ar
dent supporter of Governor Wilson for
the Democratic nomination and he will
be in position to help in the Demo
cratic reforms asked for by the Balti-
more convention. This is Il Demo
cratic year.

(Chehalis Bce-Nugget. Republican)
There are no Ifs" and lands" about
it now, the Bull MOOsers assembled
have placed themselves on record as
against both of the regular party plat
forms. There is no going back of that
now, and candidates of all description
who have cast their lot with the third
term people must stay with them, at
least for this campaign. They have
drawn off from the Republican and
Democratic parties, and the voters
should see that the new third party.
ties are in their proper column. There
are no halfway measures possible

Bull Moose Insincere.

Bull Moose Inaincere.
Vancouver Columbian. Republican,
We as members of the Republican
party believe that the Bull Moosers in
this state are insincere, that they are
working overtime Is catch the public
ear so that they might be swept into
Office. that they are demagogic, blather-
sixties with absolutely no principle or
reason for being except an overwhelm-
ing desire to get hold on the public
pap, but right or wrong they did the
proper thing in leaving the old party
and starting one of their own.
= The Republican leaders should not
try to crush the infant organization
They should see to it that it have
every possible chance to live. II it
does live and receive the support of
the majority of the voters, it means
that the Bull Moosers are right and
we the Republicans are wrong. 1t is
up to the voters to decide.

Back of him. on the platform, the
veteran Congressman Talbot of Mary
land was in a frenzy. Up from the
floor came tiger-like Hal Flood of vir-
GINA, vertically to spit fire in defense
Of Ryan. Like q ghost of the past
came McCorkle of West Virginia
long ago q governor, now white-haired
and forgotten by many of this and the
preceding generation-to oil the wa
tiers.
Bryan had seen enough oil ON the
waters on which Democracy had tried
to float her craft. As Flood and Nc
Corkle talked, Bryan heard the whis-
Pered pleadings of scores of men who,
perhaps honestly, believed he had cast
the die that meant party disaster.
It was not until days later that the
world learned that Bryan, girded for
battle to the death with the Ryans
and Belmonts, had In moments time
tempered his now famous resolution
SO that little woman seated in the
balcony might not return with hurt
heart to the White House over on the
banks of the Potomac.

Hay Needs Lots Of Coin.

(Tacoma Tribune. Republican,
On the whole, it would seem that q
sum of money large enough to run q
national campaign would not be amiss
In the effort OF Governor Hay to Sc
cure his electi0n-such Is the lack Of
public confidence in him and his pecu-
liar supporters, and such the general
WEAKNESS of overtaxation due that
spendthrift carnival, not only unre-
strained by the governors veto. but
actually approved by his signature.

Sees Bull Moose Split.

Owing to the mad rush to the Bull
Moose party on the part OF the hungry
office-seekers there is bound to be q
world of dissatisfaction after the con-
vention has made its nominations and
the disappointed ones are more than
likely to sneak back into the Repub-
lican party and thereby greatly jeop-
ardize the success of the movement.
A bitter fight for the gubernatorial
nomination will be waged from the
very beginning, and with Lawrence,
Paulhamus. Case and Hodge In the
field seeking the same. the convention
is going to leave as many sore spots
as there are to be found on leper's
back.

WITH THE EDITORS
" ils0a Politically Brnve..


In politics we need courage of vari-
os kinds; no kind more than that of
the man who dares think out of his
class, as Woodrow Wilson thinks;
who dared 10 attack the system that
made Princeton an attractive rich
mans club; who as Governor refused
TO hear talk about what he owed to
those who elected him, well knowing
it was the people who elected him.
Grover Cleveland was a man of an
era earlier than this era, and in many
ways profoundly different; but he was
man of such conviction and such
courage that his place in history is
high. The stand which he took about
the Wilson Tariff Bill, when his party
was betraying its platform, his 'un-
yielding opposition to free silver, and
mis- Willingness. to invite any amount
of unpOpularity rather than sign pen
sion bills which were not honest, put
him in class apart from other poll
ticians. If Governor Wilson is elected
president, and his party stands behind
him, the Democratic record will be a
splendid one, and the party will re-
main long in power

Is There a Moral I.sues

tSeattIe P.-I., Repub1tcan.)
Would these candidates have with
drawn their Republican filings II they
had believed they could be nominated
within the Republican party?
On the face Of 1t, the transaction has
not a sincere look. Indeed, It looks
very much like plain scramble for
Office, and II we are not mistaken in
the people of Washington that is the
view they will take of 1t.
Men who are Republicans or Demo
Gratis or what-nots merely for office
and personal gain arc not good men
to put in public Office. and If that is
Bull Moose patriotism. we do not want

To Split Progressive Vote.

tLynden Tribune, Republican,
Not being able to force Mr.. Law
renee to withdraw. there is now a
deep laid plan to introduce State SEN
ator Paulhamus, of Pierce county, In
to the race. The game Of Hays sup
porters, the game Of the ''old-line" pol
iticians. is to split up the progressive
vote, and Paulhamus has been selected
as the instrument through which to
do it.

Wilson Next President.

(Colville Examiner. independently
Woodrow Wilson will be the next

he will be more than that. He will
be the first president OF the United
States In q generation to 20 into Office
owing favors to nobody except the
American people and under obliga-
lions to nothing except the general
welfare.
No political boss brought about his
nomination. No political machine car
ried his, candidacy to victory. No CO
terie of Wall street financed his cam
DaiRn. He has no debt to pay to cor
rupt politics or to corrupt business. He
was nominated by the'irresistible force
Of public opinion, and by that alone.
He stands before the country q free
man.

Northwest IL Booming.


According to all reports. prosperity
has touched the Pacific Northwest as
with a magic hand. While this sec
ton has not been in the dumps like
some other parts of the country, it felt
the general depression for several
years; but now things are on the up
grade once more. Merchants report
collections much better and the ap-
preaching fall comes with bright pros
poets. The impending presidential
election does not seem at all menac-
ing. One of the best signs is an adj
vance of $500 in the price of logs.
Because of the magnitude of the lum-
bering business hereabouts, this is i'm
portant. Crops promise to break
many records, which means that the
agriculturists are going to replenish
their bank accounts. 1t is time for
optimists.

most ardent adherents have, af.
ter mature deliberation, an.
nounced their intention Of sup
porting the man nearest to them
and their interests.
Reports from the railroad
towns and contiguous territory
hsye it that an epidemic Of Nor
gan sentiment is sweeping the
parish, and the contagion is
growing daily. The most Opt.
mistic Of the Claiborne support

Il is also conceded that Mr..

abls ground from the fact that &
snumber Of the voters who haii
