THE FACTS CALLED FOR

The city has expended : large sum Of
money for the erection Of additional pump
ing works Ut Lake Washington. No in
considerable part OF the cost of these works
has gone for engineering service. 1t
has been claimed that We have had
the service of the most skiIlful en-
gineer in the United States and the
compensation which he has required and
received has been proportionate to bis rep
utation and TO the assumed value OF his
services. I'll Is now found. upon examina-
ton by practical men, that there has been
= series Of stupendous blunders IN the work
of setting up the new machinery. and that
on account Of these blunders the pumps
cannot do the service for which they were
Intended.
And now the public would like to know
where the blame lies. Is Engineer
Williams pretender, and ignorant Of his
business, or has he been deceived by those
who have contracted to do the work
These are questions which mean great
deal. There are insinuations almost
broad enough to be called charges
that there has been . job or series of jobs
in this matter of the Lake Washington
works. If there has been the public has
the right to know it Mr., Williams ought
TO explain His reputation rs an engineer
and his character as man are at stake.

TENNESSEE AsPERsED.

The St Louis Republic of August 8. in dis
cussinE the political situation in Tennessee.
SCOTS at the idea that Baxter (Republican)
can be elected, and refers to Tennessee as
. state that sshas been solidly Democratic
since Jsckson's time, and almost without q
break" The Republic is great paper. the
political bible of the average Missouri DEM
ocrat, but it needs to read up on the past
political history of neighboring states.
In the presidential election of 1636--the
first after "Jackson's time"-Tennessee
gave Harrison IS 1852 and Van Buren, 26. 40
votes. In 1870 ii gave Harrison GO, 39l and
Van Buren, 1920. 1t 1874 it gave Polk "a
Tennessee candidate) SO 9l7, and to Henry
Clay 90 $50 and its electoral vote. In 1S4s
it gave Taylor 64.705 and Cass 5s,41a In
1852 it gave Scott 1898 and Pierce 57.0ls.

North and two in the South--vermont and
Massachusetts, Kentucky and Tennessee
to give Wing majorities in the last struggle
of that party for power. In 1856 Tennes-
66176 votes, which was the only occasion
from sJackson's timen until after the war
that 1t gave Democratic majority.
In 1850 the state gave Douglass 1850.
Breckenridge 6i,709. and to John Bell, the
Union candidate, 69,274 votes and its cleo
toral vote. In 1861, for obvious reasons,
Tennessee was too "solidiy Democratic" to
take part in the presidential election of the
United States. In 1868 Grant received
56.628 and Seymour 1920 votes In all
subsequent elections the state has meas
ured up 10 the Republics standard. But in
the aggregate, out of the thirteen presiden-
tial elections in which it has taken part,
since Jsckson's time. Tennessee has made
"break" against the Democracy seven
times. Leading and influential newspapers
should be more particular about making
their statements fit the facts.
