'BLEASE URGES FRIENDS
TO ATTEND COhVENTlOk

According to a Columbia dis
patch, the following letter has
been sent by Governor Blease to
many of his friends throughout
the State:
Dear Friend-I presume it is
useless to tell you, that we must,
if possible, control the coming
May convention, and we cannot
do it by sitting down at home
and talking about it. Therefore,
| wish to urge upon you the
necessity of getting all your
friends to attend their club meet
ings, which will be held on the
fourth Saturday in April, for the
purpose of +, organization. If
our friends stay at home and let
our opponents control the club
meetings, our opponents will
elect the delegates to the county
conventions, which will give
them control of the county con-
ventions, controlled by them,
will elect delegates to the State
convention, giving them control
Of the State convention, and |
am satisfied that if they get con-
troll of the State convention, they
are going to include in the pri-
mary rules proviso that no man
shall vete in the democratic pri-
mary unless he has a county and
State registration certificate.
This fight has been made in
the general assembly recently,
and the only reason that such a
measure did not become law was
because all of the members of
the general assembly knew that
| would veto it, and that | had
friends enough to veto its pas
sage and they were afraid of
odium that would be cast upon
them, and afraid that it would be
said that to put such a law upon
the people and that only by the
veto power was it kept off, the
House. which was against us.
was foolish enough to go on
record as favoring such a meas
ure. anyway.
Now, | cannot make this
fight alone and think it will be
admitted that | have done my
part. My friends must be up
doing and help themselves, and
| beg you to get our friends to
the club meetings; to talk to our
friends who belong to other
clubs; talk all around, and get
busy and do something, for now
is the time.
DO not wait until we are de-
feated, and then say, "Oh, |
forgot the day, or | could have
done so and so.
DO it now.
Remember, this is no per-
sonal fight of mine; it is the
peoples fight; it is your fight.
THE defeat of any man would
be of small consequence, but the
capturing of the conventions by
the other crowd will be no small
matter.
IF | could get the newspapers
to publish this letter, it would
save me some trouble and eX-
pense; but you know they will
not publish anything from me
unless they think it will injure
me. Therefore, | have to do the
best can to reach you, and
through you, others of our
friends.
Very respectfully,

There is now talk of trying to form
four team ball league to include
Chesaw, Aneas valley, Tonasket and
Oroyille. This would be a compact
territory, where the several communit-
les are near neighbors, and the play
ers all acquainted with each other.
AS long trips would not be necessary
the expenses would not be great, and
would probably be more satisfactory
than any other combination.
Do not let anything interfere with
your getting to that minstrel show
next Friday night. If you miss it you
can never forgive yourself for over
looking the greatest hit in the enter

coming from the going up to the going

much fun out Of his or her life.
