been a member of the constitutional

People Resent Mud-Slinging.
(Puyallup Valley Tribune.)

The re- election of Governor Lister
is the answer of the people to the
vicious assaults of an unprincipled
press upon a faithful and efficient
public servant. Not in the history
Of the state have the taxpayers so
greatly needed protection from
would-be bosses and from extrava-
giant legislatures as during the last
four years. Under Governor Lister
'subterranean government at Olym-
pia has been abolished; all special
wires to the outside have been cut.
One governor at a time for the state
of Washington is enough-and that
is the elected governor, the one
chosen by the people and for the
people. aud not by the bosses and for
tic bosses. We have had of the
latter kind of governors more than a
plenty. Governor Lister ran on his
record, and it has been endorsed; he
has stor1 for morality and economy,
and his stand has been indicated.

States Greatest Victory.
douglas Co. Press

The greatest victory for the state
vas the election of Governor Lister.
The people have recognized a clean,
able executive. They have recognized
business administration instead of
peanut politics.
Take il all in all it was a glorious
victory. In time our Republican
brethren will see that it has been for
their good. Whom the Lord loveth
he chasteneth and for so years he has
ohastened the Democratic party and
brought forth Woodrow Wilson.
1t may be so years before the Re-
Eublicans return from the wilderness
but they will have to return with a
Woodrow Wilson.
The result in Washington was a
surprise. To have Washington go
Democratic was considered sacri-
lese. Mcbride pitched his campaign

req blooded people of the mountains
and valleys of grand, free Washing
ton refused to follow The good
PEOPLE Of Washington demanded
clean politics Tuesday. 1t is a warn
ing to the muckrakers and defamers

tolerated.

LiSter-a VindicatiOn.
Davenport Tribune.)


President Wilson can we'll be
called the choice Of the people, and
to the Western men and women goes
the honor for his reelection. The
common people spoke and the money
mad throngs of the populous East
were compelled to listen.
Governor Lister entered cam
paign against the greatest odds of
eny candidate ever elected governor
in the state, and despite every effort
to discredit him a majority Of more
than $4,000 was turned into a VIC
tory because the people had faith in
the man who was making the cam
paign.
Congressman Dill was reelected
on his two-year record and because
he is a man who can make friends
and hold them.
The election Of this trio is a vim
dcation of Democratic principles as
expounded and practiced by these
men.
Wilson's reelection is a rebuke to
Wall street and the big interests. the
states where these were strongest
going for Hughes, but when the vote
got out into the open where men and
women live clean lives and think
clean thoughts, Wilson was given
euch an OvatiOn that tha hip Easteru
majority was overcome by the people

Party Loyalty Passing.
(OrOville GaZette.)

The day is passed when the wise
juggler with figures can make any
thing like reliable forecast of a
national political election. Voters
are not as loyal nowadays to party as
they were 25 years ago, and this in
dependent voting is puzzle to those
III the habit of foretelling how it is
going to happen. Then that new ele-
mont in politics, the woman vote, is
4 factor that cannot be safely an
eiyzed before election. OF course
where so many are guessing some
are bound to guess right, but they
ere not entitled to be held up as
prophets, for at the next election
they are Just as liable to be wrong
as right in their calculations.

\ West That Thinks.
(Puyallup Valley Tribune. }

Our faith in the common people
has been justified. The principles of
democracy are triumphant. The in
dependent. thinking people of the
West have preserved the republics
tluest ideals. No longer can New
York and the states grouped around
it control presidential elections. Free
We are from the financial and eco
nomic ideals of that part of the
country. Once more the agricultural
portion Ct America is resurgent
Never again will the government be
run for the exclusive benefit of Wall
Street and New England manufac-
turers. From now on the farming
masses Of the West will have their
day. This is the home of progress
siveism; here is where 1t was born.
In our free air It has thrived and
f'ourished-and will continue to
grow and bear fruit abundantly
until that perfect day. Let US be
proud that we are men and women
CT the West; proud of the part we
were called upon to perform in this
memorable crisis; proud of the duty
and responsibility that it imposed
upon us; but, above all, proud of the
manner in which we met and dis
charged the obligation. The safest
element in any citizenship, in any
country, is its independent voters.
Thank God for a West that thinks
and that votes as 1t thinks!

Settles "Wet" Issue.
(COlville Examiner.)

The wet and dry issue has been
thoroughly settled in this state by
the election of the dry candidate
Ernest Lister, and the overwhelming
defeat of the two liquor measures.
Ridicule, abuse, false statements and
all the underhanded efforts of the
liquor interests were unable to put
over Mcbride. Party lines were
broken in electing Lister, and Demo
Gratis must concede that his election
was made possible only by the Re-
publican and Progressive dries. Wet
Democrats voted along with wet Re-
publicans for Mcbride.
