Republicans from eleven states met in Chicago and resolved that former members who deserted in 1912 should return. The piece blames Barnes-Penrose type leaders for party decline and argues progressives will not rejoin while those leaders hold power.
A historical note claims peace officers threaten to deport transients to Wenatchee. It states framed as a deterrent that drives vagrants to leave town by riding away on the first westbound train.
The town reports a healthy business climate with two hotels, the Chikamin and Overland, plus several rooming houses. While no dining facilities are attached to current hotels, transient demand and occasional full occupancy after 2 a.m. underscore the need for a dedicated hotel with dining services.
The editorial notes the need for a new hotel to meet traveling demand, citing inadequate sleeping accommodations at night trains. It argues Leavenworth should invite growth and business, reject isolation, and embrace competition as a survival instinct for local prosperity.
