Cosgrove Favored For Governor By Yakima Opinion
The paper endorses S G Cosgrove for Washington governor in the upcoming primaries. It argues he is a strong, unaligned Republican who would unify the party and win a larger vote, citing his pioneer background, Civil War veteran status, profession as lawyer and farmer, and steady, honest character. He is portrayed as connected to Eastern Washington and the valley’s needs, with a history of public service and prudent finances. A reader testimonial from O L Scott accompanies the piece.
