In a close election one can never
tell how the cat is going to jump until
the last returns are in and counted.
Up to last Friday figures indicated
that Chas. Johnson had been reelected
as prosecuting attorney. Figures hard
ly ever lie if handled properly on the
adding machine. but human calcula-
ton Is sometimes at fault. Such was
the case in tabulating the vote for
prosecuting attorney, as in one case
Mr.. Johnson was given the benefit of
20 votes that he had not received. The
last precinct did not come in until
Friday In the meantime the error lad
ben discovered and with the belated
precinct votes it was discovered that
VIM. OConnor. the democratic candi-
date, had been elected by a narrow
majority of 8. Charlie Johnson made
n careful and painstaking prosecutor
and if Mr.. O'Connor does as we'll dur
ing his incumbency the county will
lose nothing by the change.

started a campaign OF vilification that
had it's effect unon unthinking minds.
A very insidious pan OF attack was
followed by the p.f., andsthat was to
use extracts out of bills that Mr..
Poindexter suppoItci in the senate. to
use only that part OF the Newberry
controversy that would reflect upon
those who voted to seat him. and to
tell half truths that were more damag-
ing than open lies. Dill is a postmaster
in the same kind of trickery and he

A NoxIoUs DOSE.

The sporting world stood agog at
the come back of Jack Scott, the Giant
pitcher. who had been written down
as a has been. and then blossomed out
as one bright, conspicuous spot In tae
annual base ball classic, yet the come
back of Jack Scott was as nothing to
the come back of one G. G. Dill, the
denounced discarded democratic poll
tician Four years ago there were Few
residents OF the Fifth district to do
him honor. or even acknowledge MIN
| for friend. and there were none SO
vehement in abuse as the democratic
press of the district. He earned the
curse that was put upon him and all
| tne excuses that he can put forth can
not wash him clean in the eyes or
those who believe in America above
all other nations in the world. Yet In
spite of this handicap he secured
enough votes to elect him United
| States senator in a state where four
years ago If any one had suggested
such a possibility he would have been
/ crucifed. 1t is marvellous instance
of come back
Really If Mr. Dill had one redeem
| ing virtue his great campaign and
subsequent success might be applaud
ed even by a political enemy. So far
as ever has been demonstrated his
only attribute to gain a following Is
Jaw bone. and no one ever worked that
bone more efficaciously. This may be
putting it strong, yet no one can show
where Mr. Dill ever made success OF
anything that he undertook. His life
is marked with mile stones OF failure
and his worse failure was his record
in congress. so much Of failure tIat
he had to go on the stump and apollo.
gize for that failure.
But then what's the use. We are all
| Americans before we are partisans
and bow to the will of the majority
If Dill is the kind of man the ma
| iority of the voters of the state Of
Washington want in congress, why
let it go at that, but Lord what relic
1t would have been for those who dc
not believe in the Dill brand Of Amer
icanism if it could have been som,

Webster was elected despite the nasty

it was an avalanche, but republicans

This Eat Wenatchee Apple" slogan
is going against the grain in this val
ley, as is noticeable every time any Of
the county papers quote the slogan,
which they do not quote very often.
Consumers in the east naturally con-
clude that all the choice western ap-
pies that they purchase on the market
are grown at Wenatchee, and the bal
ance cf the vast district, from which
the best fruit comes, contribute to-
ward advertising one single place. re-
ceiving no benefit whatsoever from a
publicity campaign toward which they
have paid good money. The idea may
be all right We are not in the market

to say, but it looks as though the
method used was giving Entiat, Pa

nasket and Oroville the raz.

An application for a new trial
will be made by attorneys for the

generally believed the application
will be denied. Unless a new trial
is granted, an appeal will be taken

Davis and Johnson were not in

We live today in a world on
wheels! Life is no longer mea-

and hours lived.
The automobile has trebled time
and decimated distance. Your time
is your most valuable capital.
Trebling the value Of your time
enables you to get three times as
much out of life and be three times
as useful. Then, too, your precious
Sunday Of relaxation can mean
fifty miles joyous whirl through
Natures happy gardens.
Think of it! The tang Of pure air! The l~ifegiving
GLOW of sunshine! The glad songs of birds! The
r%avishing fragrance OF violets and roses and new
mown hay! Forgotten the crowded closeness of
the city! Forgotten the wearing cares Of office
and factory and housework! Your whole being
is lifted out Of tho ruttcd grind into an ecstacy
Of pure delight. That is Motoring! That is life!
That is why you need an automobile!
