Progressives Sold Out
The Washington party voters realize
now, as many of them suspected at
the beginning, that they have been
sold out and they have not only
thrown up the sponge but have come
over to the Republican party by the
score and hundred. If there was ever
any doubt in the minds of the Republi-
cans IT was dissipated after last night s
reports from the eastern and lower
sections of the county, where 1t was
found that about the only fight left in
the Democrats is being made by Eby
and Wells, who are at it hammer and
tongs for the county commisslonership
which the law says shall go to the
minority candidate receiving the larg-
est vote at the general elections
The campaigners ran across places
where these two candidates had told
the voters that there was little chance
| or electing more than one county
commissioners this Fall and that the
choice lay between Eby in the county
and Wells in the city.
At the East End Club
d. B. Smouse, president, welcomed
the candidate to the East End Club
and there was never a larger turnout
there. Ten or a dozen speeches were
made by nominees and leading Re-
publicans and the meeting was pro-
longed until near the midnight hour
