Political reform efforts and elections stir the Northwest
The Spokane County Good Government League targets the Spokane county courthouse in the coming election. Dem Sol Mayer in the Northwest runs on a platform aimed at repealing most laws and enforcing only those of public necessity while George Hazzard plans a Pacific Northwest political history book and a run for Congress in Washington. Also noted are Taft tariff revisions, national forest land eliminations in Washington, liquor local option talks in Spokane County, and a push against insurgent Republicans led by Taft with Cummins as a target.
