REPUBLICANS SPLIT
OVER BOURNE PLAN
FORMER EGON SENATOR'S
PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN ALIEN
.ATING PROGRESSIVES.

WASHINGTON. June 4. - Activi-
ties Of the Republican Publicity asso-
citation, of which former Senator JON
athan Bourne, Jr., of Oregon, is pres
ident, have brought a charge by Pro-
gressive Republicans that the Bourne
organization has hitched up with
Wall street. and that the educational
campaign" now under way Is de-
signed to help the standpat partisans
and to ignore the progressives.
Senators Borah, LaFollette, Cum
Minis and others have baked at the
Bourne association and do not ap-
prove of the literature that is being
sent out, Republicans in Washington
declare.
In order to counteract the work Of
the association Senator LaFollette is
now touring the South for progress
sive principles against standpatism.
Senator Borah has announced that he
is not tying up with any organization
that looks to Wall street for cam
paign contributions.
Leaders to Denounce Campaign.
1t is predicted by Progressive Re-
leading Republican senators will de-
nounce the Bourne organization as
unworthy of recognition from persons
who believe in the fundamental prin-
,ciples Of the party. They point out
that Senator Bourne advocated the
initiative and referendum and recall
until Colonel Roosevelt, in. the cam
paign Of 1912, revealed the fact that
Bourne was the political pilot Of John
D. Archbold of the Standard Oil COM
pany. They recall that, before the
campaign contributions committee
Of the senate in September, 1912, Mr..
Roosevelt said:
when the department Of Justice
was taking preliminary steps for
bringing suit to dissolve the Standard
Oil company, Senator Bourne on three
or four occasions brought Mr.. Arch
bold to see me. Mr.. Archbold pro-
tested against the suits being brought
and was anxious to see II 1t would not
be possible to have them dropped"
Rich Men Put UP Money.
It has been reported that number
of rich reactionary business men have
pledged themselves to give from $780,
900 to $4,000 each year until this
campaign is over, for the support Of
the Publicity association. The asso-
citation is sending out matter to week.
ly and daily papers in an effort to
diecredit the Wilson administration.
Almost every one of the letters that
go from the Bourne headquarters car
ries a calamity howl. 1t has long
been understood here that q liberal
campaign fund has been put at the
disposal of Mr.. Bourne and that he IL
using it to further the interests OF
standpat Republicans and the Aldrich-
Payne tariff for protection of manu-
facturers.
The recent announcement Of Sem
ator Borah that he Is not candidate
for president is understood to have
been made in order that he may be
free to attack and expose this alleged
scheme to put over "big business"
candidate. 1t is said that Senator
Cummins of Iowa will announce upon
his return from Hawaii that he is In
no way connected with the Bourne
association.

"Bill. the Bile Bean"
(Skagit Co. Times.)

A man with Bilious Humphreys
gall need not have been in hurry to
say that he wants to be a United
States senator. Bilious Bill has be-
come so accustomed to seeing the
people of Washington gulp. and gag.
and swallow him and his brand Of
wants so long that he no doubt feels
at liberty to fill them with anything
worse that he has ever thought Of
before. Bill is never certain of any,
thing except that the people Of Wash
ington have robust stomachs. Bills
the guy that converted limburger into
Republicanism and garnished it with
garlic. He has hashed the menu
seven times consecutively for four
teen continuous years, and has him
self become Injured to the stencil and
knows the people like it-and can't
help themselves If they don't. So he
just announces what he wants and
ships his trunk to Washington, D. c.
It is the only safe and sure relief the
people find for their stomachs.

The Administration as q Republican
Sees 1t.
(Stanwood Tidings.)

\otdh OOu iAAhoo'f
Though political prophets have
already predicted the defeat of the
present administration in 1916, yet in
such momentous times as we are now
in. it is too early to prognosticate po-
litical changes. Whatever the result
may be, the Democratic administra-
ton cannot be judged fairly by any
evil results which may attend its
close. Perhaps the tariff legislation
was wholly and entirely bad, or per-
haps most of it was good. But be-
cause OF the European war which has
upset industrial and commercial con-
ditions, We cannot say through expe-
rience that it was entirely good or
entirely bad. This in a way Is bad
for Democracy in America. Other ad-
ministrations of the same party have
been ushered in on bad times, which
though they may not have been the
result of Republican rule. yet just as
surely were they not the result Of
Democratic government. Scholars Of
economics have long realized that
panics come in cycles. Due to feel
ing of discomfort, there is a change Of
government, with the result that
Democracy has always had to fight an
uphill battle, usually coming into
power in a time of unsettled financial
conditions. And at that have they
not done wondrously we'll? All admit

Tariff to Be the Issue.
(Kent Journal


The first gun in the big political
war that will shake this state and
nation during 1916 was fred by Con-
gresham Will E. Humphrey last Sat-
urday at a meeting of the Young
Mems Republican club in Seattle,
when he announced his candidacy for
United States senator. A lot of full
some twaddle is now being printed in
the papers of the state regarding his
candidacy. Some of the papers are
printing columns Of stuff about how
he has served his state in the lower
house and having done good work
there, he should be elevated to the
more exalted position. While the
above may be very true, the whole
matter, when boiled down to essen
tials, amounts to this: The fight will
be made on strictly party lines, and
the issue will be the tariff. Hum
phrey believes in and conscientiously
favors tariff revision upward; his
opponent (whoever it may be- will
have to favor the tariff as it now
stands Cor sidestep the matter alto
gether). We have no quarrel with
Humphrey; he wants to keep on the
payroll, and If enough of our citizens
favor keeping him there, well and
good.

nounced himself candidate, although
he was formerly elected as a pro-
