In Wenatchee Governor McBride backs appointive commissions, opposed by many who favor electives. The piece argues monarchist views and criticizes Hearst coverage, noting Oregon’s shift from appointive to elective and recalling Hood River teachers walking to Portland.
A critical commentary argues sober Republican newspapers fueling Hearst fears may backfire. It claims constant abuse could boost Hearst’s nomination and potential election by amplifying his notoriety while Republican assaults reveal no redeeming qualities. The piece notes voter skepticism toward Hearst’s character persists.
A new town is located in the Columbia river valley about fifty miles east of Walla Walla opposite Castle Rock Oregon. Artesian water was struck about a year ago and the valley is described as highly productive.

McBride's Wenatchee stop drew only a sparse greeting at the station, a mixed reception as he rode to the Elberta Hotel. The afternoon program at the Skykomish Lumber shed featured the Mission Roosevelt McBride McManus group with the Leavenworth band, attended by Chelan county residents and a larger Atkinson faction. Governor McBride defended his veto of the local option bill and voiced support for an appointive railroad commission.
Spectators cheered Mr. Atkinson Ridpath or another candidate as supporters hailed an appeiative commission over an elective one. Leavenworth band music thrilled crowds while Wenatchee and Leavenworth bands combined. Blewett and Entiat backed Atkinson with a solid delegation, vindicating charges in the Mission paper and signaling his likely statewide rise.
