This paper has received copy of the
of A. j. Wilson, of Spo-
kane, as a republican candidate for
congress from the Fifth district, sub
ject to decision of the republican vo-
tiers at the primary election, which
takes place September II. Mr.. Wilson's
is a plain matter of-fact
statement of principles he stands for,
by a matter-of fact business man. In
the document there is no equivocation,
Tor lodging of issues and appears to be
the sincere views of a gentleman of
sincerity, who means what he says and
says what he means. The length of the
owing to our crowded
columns, bars it's publication, but it is
"a document any voter could indorse
with a clean conscience, if that voter
be a believer in republican principles.
Mr.. Wilson was candidate for con-
gress in this district two years ago
securing, if our memory is not at
fault, the next highest vote cast for
any of the several republican candi-
dates running for that office. With the
prestige of that support, and the wide
acquaintainceship gained during the
campaign, Mr.. Wilson enters the lists
as one of the most formidable candi-
dates for congress among all the re-
publican asprants to that position,
and there is large number in the
race. Mr.. Wilson is clear headed, in
telligent and capable business man.
and should he be honored with the nom
nation, and subsequently elected, he
would fill the office with credit.
Before the primaries, and in a con-
test in which a number of old friends
land most excellent gentlemen will
stand for the nomination for congress
on the republican ticket, this paper
does not deem it proper to favor any
one candidate more than another. The
paper will Loyalty support for cleo
ton any one of the several candidates
who may be so fortunate as to secure
the nomination, and furthermore there
| is hardly shadow of doubt that a
nomination at the primaries this year
is equivalent to an election in Novem-
her

be sent to that convention uninstruct-
ed, it is safe to say, that down IN MS
heart every delegate will nurse a Ia
vorite whom he hopes to see secure
the nomination. Mr.. Roosevelt VIII
have a following of more or less
strength. He is the idol of large num-
Der of people whose devotion to the
Individual blinds them to the best IN
terests of the party. On the other
hand there is vast multitude OF
voters who would not support MI.
Roosevelt should he secure the nomln-
|ation, and that would mean four years
more of democratic incompetency. III
the various conflicting elements could
forget native sons and center upon
some one candidate other than Mr..
the two factions in the party, success
next November would be certain. Such
ia candidate could be found in either
Mr.. Root or Judge Hughes. The latter
probably would be the strongest COM
promise candidate, as he would be
satisfactory to the rank and file OF
both republicans and progressives
There is good reason for believing at
this time that Judge Hughes will be
the choice of the convention. In that
popular vote that has ever been cast
for a presidential candidate in the his
! tory of the country.

Considering that the state conven-
tons are to be held only few weeks
hence, and the national conventions
only a month afterwards, there is less
apparent interest displayed in the APP
preaching campaign than in any pre-
vious presidential election year with
in memory. There is plenty of time for
hot stuff, and to spare, yet usually at
this season of the year, when presiden-
tial candidates are to be chosen it
has been the custom for partizans of
candidates to indulge in vast
amount of boosting. OF course demo-
Gratis have no occasion to get excited
as the candidate of that party is al
ready named. 1t is different with the
republicans, for who the candidate OF
that party will be no man knoweth.

Second choice votes are going to cut
didates this year at the September
election This second choice feature of
the election law is an absurdity, but
it is the law, and every voter, in order
to have his vote counted, must indi-
cate a second choice on his or her bal
lot wherever the number of candidates
for a given office makes second choice
voting a necessity. BY that means the
least capable man in a group of candi-
dates may secure the nomination, and
with the measure in force it is abso-
lutely impossible for any one to make
even remotely accurate prediction
whom the nominee may be.

About all the fighting in Europe

About all the fighting in Europe of
any moment is concentrated about
Verdun, where the kaiser's mailed fist
is battering a way to that apparently
doomed city. The kaiser is following
the policy pursued by Grant in the
Wilderness campaign, constantly
pounding away at the enemy regard
less of the cost in blood. The fall of
Verden would not end the war, but it
would have strong moral effect
throughout Europe. At least SO be-
lieves the power that is directing the
terocious assaults, or the price that it
is costing in human lives would not be
so willingly paid.

A local agent of a large fire insur-
ance company, large as to resources
'and liabilities, has received orders not
to underwrite any more risks in Okla
hogan county, and to cancel all I'M
Expired policies held against the COM
|pany. This action is said to have been
taken because of the recent fire losses
that have occurred at Tonasket and
Riverside. This is not a good and valid
|eXcuse for such drastic policy. In
|surance companies did not refuse bust
ness in Spokane, Seattle, San Fran
cisco and scores of other places after
enormous losses from fires, and there
is no logical reason why Okanogan
county should be singled out and de-
|nied fair treatment. If insurance
companies should follow this
policy whever extraordinary losses
|are sustained they would soon
cease writing business, for no
section of the United States is immune
when it comes to visitations of fire. If
this particular company is insistent
upon the position it has taken the
authorities should deny it the right to
do business anywhere in the state.

Time is reeling off at lively clip,
and within only few weeks the nat
ional conventions of the two leading
political parties will meet to make
their selection of candidates for the
presidency. 1t is already settled in adj
vance that Mr.. Wilson will again lead
the democratic hosts, and there is
nothing left for the convention but
the shouting. In the republican con-
vention it will be different. While the

With the gradual coming of procras-
tinating spring a better and more
cheerful feeling is prevailing among
those interested in the settlement and
of lands under the local
irrigation project. This feeling is Gre
lated by marked increase in the acre
age being prepared for water, increas-
ed transfers of real estate, and the
number of inquiries being received
from prospective settlers. There never
has been any doubt as to the ultimate
occupancy of every available acre of
land under the ditch, as there is not
a more attractive irrigation system in
the west, combining superiority of soil.
climate and natural surroundings. If
irrigation districts far less attractive
can be settled up there is no reason
under the sun why the West Okanogan
Valley Irrigation district should not
come into its own. And it surely will.
