ROB WENATCHEE OF
REPRESENTATION
County Committeemen From Western
Part of County Combine to De
fraud Wenatchee Out of Just
Number of Delegates.
By clever gerrymandering on the
pad of the Republican Central oom
mitt?eiuen from the west ijart of the
conntv at the commitee meeting yes
tdrday afternoon, Wenatchee was given
one of the dittest deals iv the hiscury
of Chelan county politics and was beat
on oat ~of her just and legitimate re
preTeiitatiioa at tbe ccuuty conven
tion which it was decided to hold at
Cashmere on September 1 Through
a ocruLiuntion of proxies held by J C
Daviß of Leavenworth and a prear
ranged plan to strip this city ot her
power it was vet. n to base the repre
sentation at the convention on tin?
vote cast in the ipesital election two
years ago when Arthur Gouu, dem
ocrat, was eleoted against B
FReed "republican j~At that tire the
republioan vote oast for Reed was
very light in,the Colarabivand Wenat
chee precincts owing to the fact that
Mr. Gann was a local rran and many
Wenatohee republicans oast their votes
for him where they would have voted
for a Republican candidate under ordi
nary circumstances. These republican
voters stated at the time that they
would not have voted for Mr. Gunn
had they thought be would be elected.
Their bollot for him was simply com
plimentary because he was a Wenat
chee man. Thi3 reduced the re-
Dubhcau to far below the
averge while the voie in other presin
ots was normal or slightly greater
than usual in favor ot Reed The rep
resentation at tbe conventio-i ■on
tdiis"basio is approxmatey coriect fcr
all the precinots iv the county with
the exception of Wenatoheee. Weßt
Wenatohee and Columbia These pre
cincts will have less than one-half
their rightful representation accord
ing to a normal vote
The injustice of apportioning tbe
delegates according to the Reed vote
may be judged from the number of
delegates which will be present from
the vaiions' precinots; Leaven woith
will have 17 delegates while Wenat
chee, West Wenatohee and Columbia
precincts combined will bave but 19;
Cashmere will bave J delegates where
Wenatchee will have but 7.
Mud; indignation is. felt at the west
county committeemen aa tbeix was
manifestly no reason for giving Wenat
ohee such unfair treatment aud tueir
action iv stirring up a factional fight
when no diffeiencf • existed is regaid
extremely unwise The situation is
all the moie aggravated when it was
known that there has been a sinoere
attempt on tbs part of a gieiter npm
ber of the xepnblisaas to smooth over
tbe differences resulting from tbe Me-
Bride Atkkiueon fight of two years
ago and to eliminate from the party
politics all dirtfy and underhanded
methods snch as existed at that time
under the leadership of such men as
Bowman. That ibis fight should be
reopened and foul means resorted to
to rob this oity of her jnat representa
tion oan in no way help the party and
it has deprived the men wbo are re
sponsible for it of tne confidence of
their co-workers. Tbu trick is more
keenly felt in this city for the reason
that two men, J. C. Davis and Thos.
Bollman, are responsible for it. These
men have always been regarded as
standing for a square deal and fair
methods both in and nut of politics.
In no light can their actions in tbe
committee meeting oe regarded as
even approaching a squate deal. They
have betrayed the confidence wbioh
has been reposed in them and to the
disappointment of their friends have
resorted to means of attaining their end
which oan not be glossed over bnt on
tne contrary smacks of the dirty me
thods of Bowman which it was hoped
had been barred from Chelan county
polities.
Weoatohee cannot be sxpected to be
robbed of fair representation
aud take it with a sro'le While tbe
action of the committeemen yesterday
means a temporary advantage tor tbe
west part of the ooanty no permanent
change has been effected and the course
ot Mr. Oavis and Mr. Bollman will
Suouer or later react upon that part,
of the ooanty to its detrineut.
Robbing Wenatchee of her just re
preseentation at this meeting is but a
temporary handicap for with a.inst re
presentation which this city will have
sooner or latei, it wilt always main
tain the balance of power and such
dirty nicks as were resoried to yes
terday will but ultimately decrease
the power of the outiyiug disttiots and
decrease the chances of their political
ispirants. The immediate result has
been but to cause ill feeling and to stir
up a factional hght whete none exist
ed.
The cause of the western part"of
the county tins not bteu furthered by

of 12,000,000 in it? foreign trade, on
