WHAT PEOPLE SAY
a
''Say, Mister Editor, I don't know
whether you realize it or not, bot it
has just dawned npon me that this
new primary law is going to prove to
be a veritable bonanza for the news
paper men," said a hopeful candidate
to the newegatherer. He also finds
that, with very few exceptions, the
fraternity are enthusiastically in favor
of the law remaining just as it is,
from a peenniaty reason, if for no
other. Bat he does not think that the
journalist of the state hatched the
scheme of having such a law, for he
thlnss they did not realize what it
meant when it was being considered
by the masses
"

jnst laid down at that oborch. Mi.

comparative ease.

growing section of Wenatohee, Wash.,
who - resumed: "Wenatcbee Is a
mighty One fruit region and they
have lots of hustlers np that way, but
I must say that when it comes to
oliraate yon folk here in Rogue River
Valley have them badly beaten and
after all that Is what we are after, if
other thing are at all even.
"Guess yon did not know that Mr,
