CONFERENCE WAS A. SUCCESS.

The Republican elimination confer
ence was a complete success. VIM. E.
Lee of Long Prairie won out on the
first ballot with such preponder-
ance of votes that there was no doubt
as to whom the anti-administration
republicans want to lead them. The
best proof of the success of the con-
ference was the fact that the other
candidates considered themselves
eliminated and pledged their support
to the man who won out. We believe
that the work Of the conference will be
endorsed by the republican voters in
the primary, and that if Gov. Eberhart
is foolish enough to file for a fourth
term he will be eliminated at said pri-
mary. Much is being said about a
conference such as just held being op-
posed to the spirit of the direct pri-
mary. Indeed it is not! Such confer
ence by voters who want some GER
tain policies carried out are absolute
ly necessary in order that they may
unity their strength and carry out
their wishes intelligently. But the
primary still remains to guarantee to
the people that they shall have the
final say Of selecting or rejecting the
choice of any such conference. The
logic of the direct primary, however,
is opposed to dividing up the primary
into party groups, and a law which
will eliminate all but two candidates
for the final election will be necessary
if majority elections are to be as
sured.

The bringing of criminals from uI
or down of the Great Northern Rail
way and dumping them onto Kandi
yohi county for trial is an apparent
injustice to our taxpayers. If the
laws have been changed to make II
legal to bring people accused OF
crimes committed in other counties tc
this county for disposition, such laws
should be changed.

WOMEN WRITE TO OSBORN.
They Demand Representation IL
Constitutional Convention.

The Womens Committee for Repre-
sentation in the Constitutional Convention
has sent letter to Chairman Osborn OF
the Democratic State committee urging
him to lay before the Democratic con-
ference to-day the matter OF women dele
gates to the constitutional convention. Ac-
campaigning the letter is "A long memoran-
dun on the eligibility of women to act as
delegates.
Mr.. Osborn's attention is called to the
fact that women are now participating in
many important fields of work wherein
conditions are largely affected by State
laws. It is urged that the viewpoint Of
women Is absolutely essential II the Con-
stitution Is to be reframed to meet present
social and industrial conditions. The
letter OF the executive secretary to Mr..
Osborn concludes:
II have already sent you memoran-
dunn In which we have set forth the
eligibility of women delegates and as the
convention is the sole Judge OF this mat
ter 1t rests with the parties to indorse
our request for representation and with
their elected delegates TO seat such rep
resentatives as may be elected.
I'VE therefore urge that this reaues .
be given the consideration and approval Of
your conference"

Grover Cleveland, twice presi-
dent of the United States, and
the only democrat in 81 years
who held that great Office, was
born March 18, 1887, and next
Wednesday is the anniversary of
his birth.
Villified before election, ma
ligned by his own party members
during his tenure of Office, and
refused a single word of credit
by the convention which met to
nominate his successor at the
close of his second term, he en-
countered difficulties which have
been the lot of few men. Yet
his character and achievements,
now shining forth through the
shadows of prejudice of his time.
portray a splendor and a value
which are no longer ignored.
The deep-set conviction that he
was following the right was his
basis for action, and misunder-
stood and handicapped as he was,
time has brought to the public
mind a true conception of his
worth.

of the Cleveland memorial tower

panying eulogy by President
Lindabury. and that memorable

in the matter of lieu land and

land with a glory which few
statesmen have won, and these
words, used by President Linda
bury, might we'll be remembered
in Judging the character of the
man:
ITO the people of this country
Mr.. Cleveland stood as the en-
bodiment of sound judgment,
rugged strength, and common
honesty. To him public Office
and public service meant the
same thing and neither threats
nor cajolery, personal interest
nor popular favor were sufficient
to swerve him one iota in the per-
formance of what he conceived
to be his public duty. His char
acter is typifed by this tower
erected to his memory, for, like
it, he stood 'foursquare to all the
winds that blow"

Stevens county for the first
time in the history of the state is
receiving recognition from state
officials. G. A. Ledgerwood was
first appointed travelling guard
for the penitentiary, and later ad-
vanced to assistant superintend-
ent of the institution. George
A. Russell was appointed super
intendent of the state training
school at Chehalis, and he in turn
has appointed F.. G. Laird, Theo-
dore Carlson and James Petty to
positions in the school. County
Commissioner P. H. Graham has
been appointed by the governor
as one of this states three rep
resentatives on the advisory
board of the National Alfalfa
Growers Association.
Stevens county had been in the
hands of its republican friends
for many years, without the
least sign of being recognized.
Now that conditions have
changed, and our people are max
ing good in their appointed posi-
tions, it may be that Stevens
county will retain a spot on this
states political map. At any
rate, that is the way this county
voted at the last election and
results are apparent. When ap-
pointments are made on merit,
we have some chance.
