We want all ex-service men to mark
that wherever the third party cast any
considerable vote there was the
strongest opposition to the soldiers
bonus bill. This goes to show that a
very large element in the non-partisan
party was against the government dur
ing the war and today is against those
who entered the service to uphold the
honor of the country. These same peo-
pie have been appealing to the ex-sold-
iers and sailors to join their party, and
the first opportunity they have had to
show their real feeling toward the ex-
service man through the means Of a
secret ballot they show that they have
no love for those who risked their lives
to perpetuate this government.

about it all to me was the manner in
which the great victory was written
There was no emotion, no froth, no
excitement before during or following
the casting of the ballots. The people
used their judgment, exercised it in a
matter OF fact manner and awaited the
result without excitement or doubt.
The election here, as elsewhere
through the country, was the express
ion of the sober, level-headed convic-
ton of an intelligent people, who are
welded to the ideals of liberty and de-
voted to the free institutions of their
government. Tne, hart put an end to
the autocracy or obstlfsste individuals
and struck directly at the forces who
would array class against class and in
stitute here the despotism of a group.

but impossible to believe it, and quite
useless to try and comprehend it's en-
tire significance. The state of Wash
ington proved itself to be sound to the
core. and the defeat administered to
the forces of disruption and disloyalty;
the destructiOnists who had the audac-
ity and impertinance to place in NOM
ination men who aided and condoned
the murder at Cenralia and promised
pardons for the murderers is so en-
phatic that there can be no doubt OF
where the vast majority stand on the
issue they presented Everything that
the Union Record advocated was
crushingly put down by the sober, de-
termined and indignant people, includ-
ing the great majority of labor and
farmers. The most inspiring thing

1t Is time to inaugurate economy IN
every branch of the government. This
state is top heavy with red tape fungi
in the shape of commissioners and
boards. The same condition prevailed
in Illinois when Governor Lowden was
inaugurated and he cut down over lOO
of these expensive frills until three or
four boards were doing the work for
merly performed by 100, and doing
that work far better. The pruning knife
should be applied in this county. There
is no reason why this county should
not be run upon the "pay as you go
basis. The county is paying hundreds
of dollars in interest on outstanding
warrants that could be saved and used
to meet current expenses. IL every
county official would try and see how
economically he could run his office
instead of how expensive great saw
ing could be made. Taxes are appall-
ing and the burden is yearly growing
worse. 1t is time to call halt on ex-
cessive expenditures.
