"OLO GUARD" WINS OUT
Republican Massmeeting Saturday
Cut and Dried Affair.

Grace Gibson, Tenino; Miss Edna
Mckenzie, Mud Bay; Mrs. George
CASTOR, Olympia: Mrs. Clarence May
nard, Little Rock; William Macarthur,
Tenino; J. Taylor. Tenino; D. A. Bar
ber, Rochester; Ed Sanford, Bucoda
Frank Cook, Tenino; George Draham.
Olympia; John M. Wilson, Olympia,
and Albert Smith, Rainier, were chos-
en- as the 13 delegates from Thurston
county to the Republican state con-
|vention in Tacoma June IS, at a mass
meeting of Republicans in this city
last Saturday.
The following is portion of the
Tacoma Tribune's account of the
meeting:
"The old ring of the Republican
party of Thurston county does not in
tend to relinquish it's control of the
party here. That it intends to either
rule or ruin was proven today at the
so-called mass convention to pick del
egates to the state convention at Ia
coma on June 18.
"The Ray theater, in which the
meeting was held, was only about a
third filled. large majority of those
present being state and county off,
cials and employees. Although many
Of the employees of the state Republi-
can offices keep their residence in
their home cities, large number of
them were present at the meeting
and Joined in the chorus of ayes
that greeted every matter put up by
the old guard.
''The only speaker was Scott 2.
Henderson, assistant attorney gener-
al, who is a resident of Kennewick.
Mr.. Henderson apparently did not
understand what was required OF
him and thought that he was to speak
through to the return of the commit
tees. Not knowing that the commit
tees had no real business to trans
act, as it had already been prepared
for them, he spoke for half an hour.
Needless to say, the members Of the
committees were present to hear all
but the introduction of his talk,
which was devoted almost entirely to
pointing out that the Progressives
were returning to the Republican
fold. Had 1t not been for his ad-
dress the whole business of the con-
vention would have consumed but 10
minutes"

TeninO Would Be County Seat.
Tenino wants to be the county seat
of Thurston county, instead Of Olym-
pia, and to that end petitions are be-
ing circulated in that city, BucodA

present one could be built for the
money obtained from the sale of the
latter, and also claim that Tenino

Templin Hurt in Runaway.

A. D. Templin figured in quite a
sensational runaway Monday morn
ing when. as he turned from Sixth
into Columbia streets, the tongue OF
his wagon pulled out, and scared the
team which, in wild plunge, jerked
Templin from the wagon to the paw
ed street, knocking him unconscious,
the horses then plunged in one door
Of Haskell & Johnson's blacksmith
shop and out the other and dashing
north on Columbia street until they
crashed into John Barnes motorcy-
Gle standing on the sidewalk near
Fourth, which threw them to the
ground. Meanwhile the horseless
and driverless wagon had been driven
by the momentum of the runaway
into the front door of Mottinger's
garage, opposite the blacksmith
shop. Templin, 1t was found after
he recovered consciousness, had sus-
tanned only a bruised shoulder, the
horses we're uninjured, but the mot
orcycle was badly damaged.

discussion started about a month
ago, definite suggestion for the
working out of the local market prob
lem is offered for the consideration
of the readers of The Washington
Standard, and it is offered by a man
who has spent the greater part of his
life in the produce and commission
business. Consequently it is written
by man who knows from experience
what he is talking about and though
it may be presented more from the
merchants point OF view than the
farmers'-is written in fact, by a
of the county a concrete plan to dis
cuss and not the more abstract and
general market question.
The author is quite well known to
the farmers of the county and is an
advertiser in The Washington STAN
dard. What he says is this:
editor Washington Standard:
my Dear Sir:
II have read with considerable in
terest and pleasure the several arti-
cles in your recent issues regarding
the difficulties the farmers and pro-
ducers of Thurston county find in
marketing their products. You are
to be congratulated on your broad
minded policy in opening the columns
of your valuable paper for such dis
cussion, which cannot fail to bring
results Of the greatest value to the
whole community.
Urges Cooperative Association.
'If I may trespass on your space
little further would like to briefly
outline plan, which has occurred to
me through reading the articles men,
toned above and from experience
gained in other parts of the United
States and the old world, viz: the
formation of a farmers cooperative
association for the purpose of mar
keting the produce of whatever kind
raised in Thurston county.

Of your readers and hear them echo,
oh, we have heard and tried this

other communities have also tried
and failed and then tried again sue
cessfully.
''For example take the organiza-
ton Of the California Fruit Growers
association, the Rogue River Valley
Apple association, the Florida Toma-
to and Pine Apple association, the
Petaluma Egg association and many
others too numerous to mention, all
Of them operating successfully under
management which is proving Of the
greatest benefit, not only to the pro-
ducers but to the entire communities

olympia should have an associa-
ton working along similar lines, mar
keting not only the fruit, (Which is
now coming on) but the eggs, poul-
try. veal. pork, hay and other pro-
ducts. I feel confident that an asso-
citation formed and operated on le-
gitimate business methods would re-
ceive the support Of the majority Of
the business men Of Olympia who
cannot fail to see and realize that a
satisfied and contented farming pop
ulation would be one of the greatest
assets Thurston county could have
and would prove Of utmost value not
only to this vicinity but to the entire
state.
I'm the forming Of such an asso-
clation as I have in mind. would

insist that each and every producer
desiring to ship through the associa-
tion should be compelled to purchase
certain number of shares, thereby
giving him or her an interest in its
success. 1t should be the aim of the
association to secure as members
every bonafide farmer or producer of
this vicinity, thereby giving to the
association entire control of the diff
ferent lines of products and enabling
the management to dispose of it to
the mutual advantage of all concern
ed.
"The management should consist
of the president who should also be
the general manager, the secretary
and treasurer and from to men,
bers chosen by the association. The
general manager should be business
man, thoroughly qualified to fill such
a position and broad-guaged enough
to meet and handle propositions as
they arise; in fact he should be the
mouthpiece of the association and re-
sponsible only to the managing board
of the association.
with such an association the far
mers would not be entirely at the
mercy of the grocers and should the
grocers boycott the association as be-
fore they would be able to ship out
to other markets, and furthermore,
in such an event, could retaliate and
buy their feed and supplies in the
open market.
Would Be Great Boon.
"There are many other points
which could be taken up but fear
to take more of your valuable space
though I should be somewhat remiss
in my duty as a citizen Of Olympia
did fail to take the opportunity you
are affording through your columns
for the discussion Of this very i'm
portant subject, which to my mind,
once settled satisfactorily, would
prove the greatest blessing Olympia
has ever known.
Thanking you I enclose my card
and beg to remain.
"Yours very truly.
"A WELL-WISHER."
Editors Note: II the farmers OF
this county, in considerating this sug-
gestion. desire to proceed to the for
nation of such clearinghouse for
all their products and desire assist
ance in perfecting the plan, The
Washington Standard will be very
glad to refer them to the author Of
this arti"je, who doubtless will be
able to give very valuable aid in ef-
fecting an organization that will
work.
