Parts of State Show Re-
nublican Candidate in Lead
by Big Margin

That John A. Gellatly, Repub-
,...n nominee for Governor, Will
!. v;ctoriouh next Tuesday with
-. ;or;ty of $4,000 to 100000 IS
q. ma Statement Of his campaign
committee s based upon reports
from all parts of the state. Dur
mo the past two weeks there has
heen an unmistakable trend TO-
ward Mr.. Gellatly. This is shown
~ the many offers of volunteers
~ further his cause, by the de-
mand for campaign literature and
~ tbe increased attendance at his
meetings !. The people have come
- realization that Mr.. Gellatly
= eminently qualified by exper-
fence and ability to fill the import
ant office of chief executive.
In Western Washington, where
Clarence D. Martin received q
small vote in the primary, there
has been little interest displayed
n the Cheney mans candidacy.
The people look upon Mr.. Martin
as q wealthy aristocrat who never,
until he was siezed with the ambl-
ton to be governor, has taken an
interest in public affairs. He has
heen absorbed in his milling bus
mess and his banking connections
70 the exclusion of everything
else. This knowledge has caused
the Martin campaign to flatten
out.
Mr.. Gellatly, through public
service and unselfish devotion to
the welfare of his community
and state has been making friends
for more than third of a CEN
fury. He has a thorough know
ledge Of the state and its needs
from the smallest political unit to
the office of chief executive.
Every reliable index Of public
opinion shows that Mr.. Gellatly
will come to the summit of the
Cascades with a majority of not
less than $4,000. He will carry Spo
kane county by considerable
plurality and his own county of
Chelan by 5000. It is claimed by
the Gellatly Committee that he
will carry King and Pierce coun-
ties by $1,000 each, the Northwest
counties by 10000 and the South
ern counties 5000 to 10000. These
impressive figures lend substan-
tiation to the prediction that the
Gellatly majority will not be less
than 10000 and that it might very
easily reach the tremendous fig
ure of 100000.

A Statement Of Facts

1t has come to my attention that
erroneous statements are being
widely circulated about the Peo-
pies State Bank, which closed last
September. ] wish to say that in
common with other depositors and
the community have been much
distressed over it's closing, which
resulted from low prices of farm
products.
The State Banking Department
has stated thru the press that
there were no improper or sub
stantial Withdrawals of funds by
persons in any connected with the
bank.
/ wish to further say that Meth
.er / nor any member of my family
transferred or borrowed so much
as one single dollar from that bank
during the year 1882. Small tenn
porary loans during previous years
were all promptly repaid in full.
I may be pardined for saying !
deposited few hundred dollars
in the bank the last hour it was OPP
Grating and that two other mem
bers of my family also had their
small savings in the bank when it
closed.
In 1881 we directly assumed
the accumulated Indebtedness of
our unfortunate wheat ranch ten
ants and gave notes to the bank,
secured by ample real estate
mortgage on ranches and city pro-
perty. These were renewed last
July and the interest paid in full.
We have made very substantial
payments on these notes both be-
fore and since the bank closed.
Small notes given by our tenants
for 1892 ranch operations have
also been assumed by us and the
bank paid in full.
These facts may all be verified
by any one who is interested

we'll informed concerning the fights
which European nations were making
for their independence.
"It is certain" DR.. Pergler said Of
Rizal, had he not fallen as victim
of the ruling class of Spain, he would
today follow very closely what, after
more than a decade, these nations have
made of their independence: He would
find that national independence Is not
synonymous with political. ciVll and in
dividual liberty. He would nnd that,
for instance, with us CSechoslovaks
there still remains a censorship, violat-
ing fundamental ideas Of freedom Of
the press; that there is no liberty of
assembly that owing to a reactlonary
electoral law, we have no political lib
erty; that fundamental ideas OF due
process of law are being not only fla
grantly disregarded but openly violated,
and that we even have law which in
effect has revived the old Austrian law
Of lese majeste and applied it to the
President, a law providing in so many
words that evidence Of truth is ex-
cluded'"

against all these pitfalls. AS 1t Is, the

THE STRONGEST FORCE


IN anti-liquor movement that merits
n the support of all, from the most
rabid dry to the wettest wet, is an
nounced by the state superintendent Of
education
The superintendent proposes to con-
duct an educational campaign in schools
throughout the state to combat the evils
Of alcohol and narcotics.
Such a campaign is the most sensible
way Of attacking the liquor problem. as
1t leaves the question of liquor drinking
up TO the reason of the individual It
goes beyond that, for it puts an unfavor-
able light on the use OF liquor and mar
cotlcs into his reasoning ability at an
early stage in its development, so that
when maturity is reached the seed has
developed into a plant, strong enough to
resist the weeds that would otherwise
choke it.
Prohibition by law has not proved .as
successful as its proponents expected it
would. In fact any degree of success is
open to question. It has proved the
truth of the old adage that more flies
can be caught with molasses than with
vinegar In a country founded on the
doctrine of personal liberty, infringe
ment of that liberty necessarily breeds
countless rebels. Force, in the long run,
is never as strong nor as enduring as
intellectual persuasion.
1t is a pity that the schools have to
take up the education of the young
against the evils of liquor and narcotics.
Such education should be given in the
home. That it is not, generally speak
ing, is something that can hardly be de-
MED.
Liquor and narcotics have their uses,
and it is not these uses, but the abuses
that have made them dangerous, so that
the need of curbing is so evident
Educating the young to the evils that
are bound to result from the excessive
use of liquor and narcotics, and empha-
sizing to them that the safest way to
prevent such fate is to avoid their use
entirely, is an intelligent, sane and con-
structiye way of combating them 1t
will be doubly effective for it should at
tract the moral support of the great
majority of citizens, regardless of what
may be their individual views on the

j. B. Norton of the agricultural
commissioner office is busy max
ing microscopic examinations of
grape canes of last years growth
tc find out the number of flowers
in each bud so that the vineyard
ist may know the extent to which
the vines should be pruned.
In some cases, those OF healthy
vines, the growth is all right, but
il cases where there has been too
much or too little irrigation, or
soil conditions have not been right,
the cane has lost a number Of

Samples of canes from various

Actiue Program

Fourth club work this week has
occupied H. Lee Landerman, as
sistant farm advisor, who has been
busy getting the various agricul-
tural clubs started on their pro-
jects.
On Monday he visited the new

present. With the assistance of

man took the club members on a
project tour so that they might de-
termine what types of livestock
raising they wish to take up this
year.
They visited the Axler ranch
where they inspected the Jersey
hogs and the Holstein cattle.
