County Candidates
In Chehalis county no democrats
filed for legislative positions and il
is quite possible that the voters oi
that party vi. support the progres
sive candidates. that party having
named strong legislative ticket, men
whose views on needed reforms in
state affairs are well known and who
will doubtless agree to sustain Gov
ernor Lister in his efforts for such
reduction of expenditures as is pos
sible without reducing the efficiency
of the public service. The Herald has
no doubt that with such promise the
democratic voters will give them
hearty support.
1t has become a we'll recognized fact
that no party issues are at stake in
the state legislature and that party
ism, with it's consequent log rolling,
has been the prime factor in promot-
ing extravagant legislation, the re-
suits of which the public is now
groaning under. The same truth ap-
plies to county officers, and so gen.
orally has this truth become recog-
nized that many counties this year
have called non-partisan mass conven-
tions for the purpose of eliminating
the evils of partyism and inaugural
ing a business government for the
state and counties.
