GANG INsOLENCE.

F proof were needed that the lawless Democratic
machine does as it plcases in this town and coun-

pident
When church organizations, state recruiting Off
srs and similar interests desired to place streamers
teross the streets the Mayor put his foot down and
pointed to the city code justification for his &C.
zion.
The Wilson club, with characteristic disdain for
ssw and order, put up banner without asking any
pnes permission and when the Mayor reluctantly
requested that it be removed members of the club
boasted that it would be back soon, claw or no
law.''
This cynical prediction was made in full knowl-
edge that what the Gang wants goes in this town.
They were confident that the same Influence that

"Amcricc First and America Efficient"
POLITICAL PURISTs.

"There is one noteworthy fact in connection
/ with some so-called reforners and political
i. purists. viz. the recklessness with which they
I make charges against individuals. who do not
agree with their policies"
tVIHEN Mr.. Cornwell expressed that profound
w sentiment in his Review of the issue Of April
10, 1912, the editor part of his dual nature
was in the ascendancy, and the prophetic part Of
him was probably away travelling in astral space.
Had the gift of prophesy been on the job at the
time he would have foreseen what his position was
to be in 1916 He would have beheld himself in this
Interesting year presenting to the public lone note
worthy fact which he depicted in 1912, other
"so-called reformers'' possessing to such an i'm
pressive and disgusting degree.
The public is of the opinion that Mr. Cornwe
is guilty in 1916 of the recklessness about which
he complained in other politicians active on the
political stage in this state four years ago. His
speeches have much to the surprise of many of his
own friends, teemed with accusations, which have
been disproved by the true facts before they had
been long enough from his lips to entirely be cooled
off. He has INDUCED in veritable spree of per
sonalties and let loose a food Of vindictiveness
His studied pose of being liberal Democrat, delib.
erately assumed to honey votes from the Repub-
lican ranks and sooth the vanities and swell the
ego Of that class of voters who plume and pride
themselves on being alluded to as men of great
Independence of mind, was early brushed aside He
stood forth naturally, and the little handful Of
Republicans in his own county of Hampshire know
him from time immemorial, narrow, embttered
partisan, dyed-in-the-wool, hde-bound and duly
trade.marked.
In this campaign Mr.. Cornwe has early demon
etrated to the entire satisfaction OF thoughtful
pie, and to the distress and dissatisfaction of per-
sonal friends who wish him WE'LL that he is no bet
Yer than the "so-caed reformers and political pur-
lists" Of 1912, with whose 'reckcssness" of state
ment he found so much to condemn.

UNWARRANTED INsINUATIoN.

DRESIDENT WILSON is making front
/ porch" campaign because he and some of his
friends feel that it would not be in keeping
with the dignity of the high office he holds to
60 on an electioneering tour of the country. But
if the speech he made Saturday is any indication
his solicitudc for the conventions is mere outward
show. At all events he did not hesitate 10 indulge
in insnuatiOns which, in view of all the circum-
stances that attended the making of them little
short OF cowardly. Mr.. Wilson is one of the most
adroit manipulators of language that ever rose to
high position in American public life, and he knew
full well that the newspapers headwriters would
leap with avidity at the following statement and
interpret it expression of belief by the Pres
dent that Republican success would mean war:
There is only choice against peace,
and that is war. Some of the supporters of
that party, very great body of supporters OF
that party. outspokenly declare that they want
war; SO that the certain prospect Of the success
OF the Republican party is that we shall be
drawn In one form or other into the embroil-
south Of us the force Of the United States ee w
be used to produce in Mexico the kind Of law
and order which some American investors in
Mexico consider to their advantage"
There are people in the country who are clamor.
ing for war; some for war with Britain and others
for war with Germany. Not few hope that the
United States will not only intervene in Mexico but
annex that republic in the interest of the general
welfare Of the Mexican people, and to the end that
we might be reimbursed for the great sums that
eico mas coSt us IN Tile past But 1t is altogether
likely that quite as many of these hot heads are
Democrats as Republican, and it is unjust, to put
it mildly, to attempt to make the public believe the
Republican party is a war party.
All that Mr.. Hughes and the Republican party
stand for in this campaign is national honor, firm
insistance upon the safety of our nationals wher-
ever they may be found upon the earth and the
preservation intact of every one of our rights in
international law Mr.. Hughes has not said so, but
every one of his supporters believes it to be true
that If ne had been in Wilson's place there would
have been no Lusitania outrage, no Vera Cruz
tiasco, no British mail holdup and no border raids
by Mexican bandits armed with rifles oar govern
ment permitted them to secure from this country.
Moreover they believe that all this would have
been prevented without the necessity Of going to
war; simply through the realization on the part of
the people with whom we have had 10 deal that
Hughes is not the kind of man who can be- blufred

CLAIMS 10000
IS SURE
OF HALF THAT

Gov. Lister has been reelected. This
is confidently announced at the democratic
headquarters here, and his lead over Henry
Mcbride, republican, is placed at 10000 by
them. 1t is safe to assume, however, that
Lister has won by at least half that plurality
Lister leads in King county with 1000
votes, 1000 in Pierce county, 800 in Spo-
kane, 800 in Walla Walla county, and
slight lead in the rest of the state. This may
be overcome somewhat by more complete
yrturns from the southwest, where Mcbride
is leading.
Gov. Listers election is one of the big
gest surprises of the election in this state. Up
to the time the polls closed, Mcbride was a
two to one favorite. 1t was an even money
bet that Mcbride would win by rs 900.
