End 1t ForeUer
(EDITORIAL)


THE conspiracy to wreck the pro-
gressive party in this state has
failed.
But the perpetrators of it should not
go unpublished.
That it WAS an organized conspir-
acy and not the work of an isolated few
is shown by the methods used in trying
to attain their desires.
Barred by the supreme court Tuesday
from legally muddying the political
waters by putting their own set Of La
Toilette electors on the ballot, the in
fluences back of the conspiracy fought
bitterly up to the last minute TO evade
the ruling and have another set of elect
ors placed upon the Toellner ticket to
split the progressive vote.
This kind of crooked politics has no
place in Washington.
If those who attempted to put it over
this year are allowed to escape, it will
establish a precedent that will work
havoc with our elections in years to
come.
If fraud has been committed, the
prosecuting attorney should act
If illegal methods have been used in
an attempt to steal an election he should
not wait for evidence to be placed before
him. He should dig out that evidence
himself-and use it promptly to show to
the world that this county insists its cleo
tons be clean and straight.
It's your job, Mr. Malcolm Douglas!
