You know it’s about as easy to find a republican in Eastern Washington as a needle in a haystack So, of course, the Eastern Washington convention, like - that “reorganization” convention of the republican party ‘that was to have been held in Olympia recently, also had to be called off. But Senator Jones is there with the explanatory stuff Sure, the convention was called off, but why? z Ah! Senator Jones will take you into his confidence > Nand tell you the real reason. ‘ You see, says the senator, there might have been fome rabid standpatters at the Eastern Washington convention who are still very angry with the pro- gressives. These standpatters might say something masty about the progressives. And that wouldn't do at all, says the blue-ribbon winner in the Lorimer championship contest. It wouldn't do because the senator hopes to bring the progressives back into the ican ranks. ISN'T THAT THE LIMIT?
