NEEDS NO ALLIANCE
Republican Party win Return to
Power on Its Merits.
Voters Cannot Fail to Perceive That
the Control of the AffSirs of the
Nation by Democrats Has
Been Disastrous.

While the Republican party, posses
sing the quality OF patriotism as above
partisan considerations, would not
lower its honored standards by seek
ing TO make capital through assaults
upon the Democratic president, that
party realizes that it does not need
70 have such ammunition for its com,
ing campaign. The movement o.
events is strongly and surely point
ing to the supremacy of the Republic
can party over the affairs of the ma
ton. Division, bitterness. littleness.
lack of American ideals among fac
tions of the Democratic party, all
these matters in connection with the
domestic record of the administra-
ton and the specific acts of the presi-
dent in relation to Mexico that come
under deserved criticism, all amount
to an indictment of the party in
power.
The trend toward the restoration
of the Republicans to the control of
national affairs is so strong as to
Indicate that it is one of those sure
tendencies that so often operate dur
ing times of national crisis or con-
Germ.
The services of Mr.. Wilson have
been in some respects of paramount
Importance, during the awful times
through which the world is passing.
His party and himself in relation to
his party are found not sufficient to
conduct the affairs of government
with the unity. the address and the
sense of security for American in
terests that party, national to the
core. can display. The Republican
party can win upon merits and will
not fall into the error of clasping
hands with disgruntled Democrats.

countrx,s Tariff PLIGHT.

1t may be conceded that the Demo
cratic party is presented with a task
of peculiar difficulties to create need
ed revenue for the government under
the prevailing conditions of foreign
trade. The task is so beset because
the Democrats were possessed with the
idea of running revenues at their
source. When the war came along
and helped them in their task of de
struction the country was left high
and dry with the wellsprings of its
revenues well-nigh dried up. Hence
the enactment of special so-called
war tariff 1t might better have been
denominated Democratic folly-cover

President In a Dilemma.

The Democrats will seek to delude
the people into the belief that their
tariff measures. aside from the war
condition. would have been ideal. They
will be presented with the passing
OF the tax under the terms of the
impost, whereby the lapsing of the
execution may occur next March. The
president may not suspend the tariff

standing as a man and as lawyer be

DRIES Give SUPPORT

denotes.

While receiving strong support from
all sides, Senator w. J. Sutton, Re-
publican candidate for the nomination
of governor is certain to obtain the
major portion of the voting strength
of the dries" of the state. The fact
that he has always been in sympathy
with the prohibition movement and
was strongly in favor of it years ago
when it was a political drawback in
stead of an aid has brought the active
support of the various organizations
which are opposing any possible move
towards weakening the liquor meas
ures.
Long before Senator Sutton ever
thought of entering politics, he was
the man who started out to send the
town of Cheney and the adjacent vot-
ing precincts on the dry list. He won
that fight and when the bootleggers
from Spokane and surrounding towns
began operations in his community
saw to it that they were so vigorously
prosecuted that bootlegging in Cheney
became a decidedly unhealthy voca'
ton. Leaders of the W. c. T. u, the
Anti-Saloon League, etc, and the hun
dreds of independent workers under
the dry banner have definitely decided
that their support shall go to him with
the intent that the next governor OF
the state shall be strongly in sym
patty with the prohibition movement

HONORABLE FRANK REEVES
FOR THE SUPERIOR COURT
Is the Fourth Man to Offer His Services
to the Voters of CheIan County for
This Important Position

Hon Frank Reeves, of Wenatchee,
is the fourth and last man to offer him
self to the voters OF Chelan county as a
candidate for the superior court judg-
ship Of Chelan county on the non-par-
tisan judiciary ticket. Mr.. Reeves
residence in the county goes back to
a time when few there be that remem-
Der to the contrary. Up to the time
that he retired from active practice,
about three years ago, he stood at the
head of the profession in Wenatchee.
Up to that time he was on one side or
the other OF almost every important
case that came up. No man in the
county has taken more active part in
every movement that had for its object
the upbuilding and development of his
home town and the county, than Frank
Reeves. He was one of the first pre-
sidents of the Wenatchee Commercial
club. Two years ago he was honored
with election to the state Legislature on
the democratic ticket. A few months
ago he was mentioned in connection
with a vacancy on the Supreme court.
Eight years ago he was defeated for the
Superior court judgship by the present
incumbent.
