DEMOCRATS ARE
KEEPING PACE
WITH OPPONENTS
Bourbons are Making Strenuous
Efforts to Carry County for
Their Ticket
PRAISES OF WILSON VOICED
Judge Turner and VIM. Goodyear
Make Strong Speeches for
Democratic Administration

In enthusiasm, in strenuous cam
paigning and in number Of speakers,
the democrats have kept pace with
the republicans in this end Of the coun-
ty during the week. Altho the speak
ing campaign for the state and ma
tional tickets so far as it has been ar
ranged, was concluded last night when
VIM. Goodyear, of Pullman, addressed
an audience in the Commercial club
room, local democratic leaders are
making an effort to bring another
speaker here for either Saturday or
Monday night, while VIM. Masterson,
of Walla Walla, democratic nominee
for congress, will speak tomorrow
friday afternoon at Richland and
tomorrow evening at Finley.
Last Thursday evening Judge Tur-
ner, of Spokane, democratic nominee
for u. S. Senator, accompanied by
Edgar Snyder and Robert Bridges, OF
Seattle and the Elks' quartet, of Spo-
kane, were the attractions at one OF
the most largely attended meetings
of the present campaign.
Judge Turner said in part: IF
know myself, am as little swayed by
partisan bias as any man in the coun-
try. The viewpoint from which / have
always endeavored to consider public
men and public measures has been the
well being Of the state and the ma
ton, and that, / trust, will continue
to be my viewpoint as long as the AL
mighty spares my life and continues
me in the possession of my faculties.
Nevertheless, would not be the can
didate of the democratic party for
senator in congress from the state of
Washington il / could not commend
enthusiastically and in all honesty
. and sincerity the splendid record of
constructive legislation put upon the
statute books by the democratic party
, under the wise and patriotic guidance
of our great democratic president,
i Woodrow Wilson.
Revision of the tariff in the inter-
: est of the people, currency legislation

r and, finally the legislation, both recen
J. and remote, in the direction Of safe
rs guarding the rights of labor which ]
ii so notably contribution to socis
and industrial justice, constitutes
record of constructive legislation y
II remarkable that it ought, it seems {
me, to win support for our great pres

parties.
