Discusses Pomona Meeting.

Contending that reports as to the
number of Changers voting in favor
of the resolution adopted by the
Thurston County Pomona Grange
last week, endorsing the county agri-
culturist, were incorrect. A. G. West,
master of the Brighton Park Grange,
the only organization in the county
to date which has opposed the plan,
sent the following letter to The
Washington Standard this week:
editor Washington Standard:
Dear Sir:
Il am writing this in regard to
certain statements appearing In the
September "a issue of the Standard,
in regard to what took place at the
September melting of the Thurston
County Pomona Grange in regard to
the country farm expert or agent.
Several of the statements appear
ins on the first page of last weeks
Standard are incorrect and very mis-
leading. In the first instance, to
the best of my knowledge there
we're not 10 members present. The
statement in question says: When
all but one Of the ITO or more Grang'
ers of the county attending the Sept
ember meeting of the Pomona Grange
at Des Chutes hall last Tuesday vot'
ed in favor of the plan.'
| "In the second instance, when
the resolution was put to- vote
there were either So or go members
present in the hall; and third, al
fourth degree members were barred
from voting on the resolution ane
only fifth degree members allowed
TO vote. There were in the neighbor
hood of rs votes cast on the resolu
ton. While 1 was the only fifth de
gree member present that spoke ant
voted in opposition to said resoiu
ton. vet to my own personal know
ledge there were several fourth de
gree members present who were op
posed to said resolution but wer'
not permitted to vote.
81 am writing you this letter, be
lieving that in justice to those op
posed to the plan in question, yo'
should correct the errors above men
toned.
"Yours Truly,
"a. G. WEST,
Master Brighton Park Grange.

benefit 1t in any way. They there
