That it WAS an organized conspir- acy and not the work of an isolated few is shown by the methods used in trying to attain their desires. Barred by the supreme court Tuesday from legally muddying the political waters by putting their own set of La Follette electors on the ballot, the in- fluences back of the conspiracy fought bitterly up to the last minute to evade the ruling and have another set of elect- ors placed upon the Toellner ticket to split the progressive vote. This kind of crooked politics has no place in Washington. If those who attempted to put it over this year are allowed to escape, it will establish a precedent that will work havoe with our elections in years to come. If fraud has been committed, the prosecuting attorney should act. If illegal methods have been used in an attempt to steal an election, he should not wait for evidence to be placed before him. He should dig out that evidence himself—and use it promptly to show to the world that this county insists its elec- tions be clean and straight.

An inquest will be held Thursday morning to fix re- sponsibility for the fatal accident. Hutchinson was killed when an auto in which he was riding crashed into the rear of a car which had stopped in the road, Hutchingon would have been 21 in two months, and on his birthday would have received a legacy of $30,000. Walter Shue, an uncle living at Kirkland, would have re- ceived an egual legacy. Shue will now receive the total f the inheritance, $60.000, according to Deputy amount of Coroner Harry W.
