Cathlainet Is all agog over politics.
and the Gazette of that town is out
with some sensational charges reflect
Ing on the Integrity of J. Bruce Pol
worth. Mr. Polworth was named by
the Democratic county conventions of
Pacific and Wahkiakum counties i
the candidate for Joint state senato;
Later he was Indorsed by the Wahkla
kum county Republican convention for
district attorney, although the nomin
atloil had not been tendered him by
the Democrats. Eventually he ac
cepted the nomination for district at
torney, pulling out of the senatorial
race At a date so late that another can
didate could not be named except by
mandamus proceed'ngs. John Welsh
of South Bend, the Republican candl
date for Joint senator, Is alleged by
the Gazette to have been the man In
whose Interests the combination was
mad. It is charged that Link C
Burton, deputy fish commissioner, en.
glneered the deal. The Gazette says
that Polworth Is Interested in the
Cathlamet Sun, the Democratic organ;
that he has thrown down Democratic
candidates in the past, and that he
will hand out a similar pack.ige to J.
M. Harrington, the Democratic
candidate for representative, whose
opponent Is J. G. Megler. The charge
thut Polworth will throw down Har
rington seems without much founda
tlon. when it Is recalled that Polworth
while In this city some days ago .refer-
rel to Megler In anything but compll
mentary terms, ridiculing his leglsla
tlve career, and predicting his defeat,
Polworth says that the senatorial
nomination was handed out to him by
enthusiastic friends, and that he did
not want It; that he preferred the
nomination for district attorney with
out opposition to that for state senator
with a formidable opponent.
