WASHINGTON VIEWS ON STATE RAILROAD REGULATION AND POLITICS
In Olympia a heated debate over railroad regulation divides farmers seeking a state commission from eastern business interests opposed to change. Democrats favor a commission plank, while Republicans lean against it. Roosevelt looms in Washington politics as a likely landslide favorite, with supporters among Democrats and a cheerful Swanton in the Shoreham lobby. In related chatter, voters follow political shifts, with reflections on mining unrest in Cripple Creek and Peabody’s governance as well as social snippets from the Capitol and a note on a pocket-book mishap in a streetcar.
