The condemnation of Ankeny, the corruptionist, was by| far the most gratifying result of the primary The nomination of demonstration of the fact that the hearts of the people of Wash ington are right 4nd that principle has been restored as the ruling factor in politics. Another lesson taught by the results is that no man need aspire to public office in Washington in the future unless he has the personal qualifications to make a good official. The man who would serve his city, or state does not need to have money, but he does need to have ability and experience. The day of the corruptionist politics is over.
