Proof ofthe Statement.

San Francisco. Bryans campaign
speeches are taken literally by the Filipinos
and are keeping alive the struggle in the
Philippines and causing the death of many
American soldiers is declared in a letter from
Manila from Daniel S. Williams, secretary to
Professor Bernhard Moses of the Philippine
commission Mr.. Williams is an accomplished
Spanish scholar, and as secretary of the COM
mission be has had unusual opportunities for
observation. He declares the Fillplnos be-
heve the islands will be evacuated by the
Americans should Bryan be elected, and that
in one case truce has been called till after
the election. The letter says:
Much interest exists here with regard to
the campaign now going on in the United
S ates The democrats are quite active here
now, Twenty soldiers were killed the other
day, being contribution to the campaign ma
terial of the democrats. This war would have
ended long ago were it not for Bryan. be Is
more the leader of these people now than
Aguiualdo, and every American soldier that
is killed during these months can be laid di-
rectly to his door. They are making extra
efforts now simply to make showing to be
used in the states. II Bryan Is defeated the
whole thing will crumble.
''In Mindanao there is an armed truce be.
tween the Americans and the Filipinos until
after election. If Bryan Is elected the Fill
pinos expect the Americans to withdraw the
next day. while if he is defeated they will
surrender at once. That is the best lllustra
ton can give of the true conditions here.

one scandal after another arising in

patron, Senator Turner, the LIE Roi boss
Vi the fusion One-ring circus.
The board Of audit and control was
the creation of the pOpulist legislature
OF 1921. 1t was created after persistent
i0nnylng on the part of Lister, Snively,
III. l. Jones, then chairman OF the demo-
cFatlc state committee, and other fusion
politicians, whose sole purpose was the
formation OF political machine which
should embrace every large state insti

the purpose of advancing the governors

Nominees for Governor.

Let not the wheat growers Of Eastern
Washington be misled by the siron voice
OF John X Rogers and his sponsors on
paper and stump, when pxhorting them
10 send only men to the legislature who
favor lower rates on wheat.
Does John r Rogers favor the reduc-
ton Of grain freights by legislation?
Let Us see:
During the session Of the 1867 legis-
l9tu7e he and bis political bedfeIIOw,
George Turner, did all in their power to
defeat the bill introduced for the reduc-
ton OF grain rates They wanted
railroad commission bill. This would
give the governor sole control of the APP
DOintments and OF the situation. He
would have the handling OF the commits
sloners and the practical dictatiOn of
their acts. Judged by his record with
other commissions, there can be no
doubt that he would handle a railroad
commission With an eye single to his
own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. The interests OF
the dear" farmer would then he lost
sight OF with the same surprising
alacrity with which he turned the pOpu-
list party which elected him over to the
democracy. Were he an honest man, q
railroad commission might be we'll
enough What future governors will be
remains to be seen; but as to the pres
ent one, dishonesty is marked upon
every milestone Of his official Journey.
Shall we trust a man with the sole
power of appointing and directing a
railroad commission who seeks at every
opportunity to tilch money from the
state funds-a man who, when q legisla-
tor, made a terrible ado about free
passes, and then rode on a pass and
charged the mileage to the state OF
Washington; man who through his
agents has has levied money from poor
and underpaid state employees, male and
female, Tor the purpose Of raising a cam
paign fund to secure his denomination;
a man who takes his family on junketing
trips and charges the state with their
ear fare, meals and other expenses purely
personal; a man who made the people
pay Tor the kilograms to his iieutenants
through which the wires were laid in ad-
vance for his denomination; a man who.
while posing as q star 'refOrmer" Sc
cured that denomination through the
most corrupt and dish0norable methods
known to modern politics, and who is
election?
Such is John R Rogers. Such will be
John R. Rogers during the next four
years should be be reelected governor.
MIR. Frink, the republican candidate, is
an honest STRAIGHTFORWARD man. No
faint OF the dpmag0gue besmirches him.
He makes no promises except common
sense ones which can and will be kept.
He has always been true to his word and
will continue to be. He is above the
petty raids upon the treasury which is
80 distinguishing a mark ot Governor
Rogers, the great "refOrmer."

party out even before bis election, with

AnswerabIe to the People.

Nothing that Rogers and his followers
hav. touched has been touched with
clean hands On every state institution
there has been left the smudge OF soiled
fingers. The governors administration
hes turned the asylums, where, if any
where. the impulses Of humanity should
have iull sway, into retreats for lncom-
petent and unworthy politicians. 1t has
made the penitentiary very center OF
scandal. There, as in the asyiums' not
IN how TO the political will of Rogers
has been to forfeit position. From that
mace have been pardoned some OF the
most desperate inmates upon the Him
siest reasons, or none at all. The
schools, dear to the heart OF every loyal
citizen, have been used as the lnstru-
noants of corrupt profit, and a plot de
yised whereby the pupils have been
afflicted with a number of worse than
worthless books. Even in SO small a
matter as the state fair funds Rogers

HOW TO MARK A BALLOT.
Easy If Only a Little Care is Taken
By the Voter.

Inc Official ballot is lengthy one aud
care should be exercised by electors in
marking, that their vote may be easily
understood and properly counted by the
election officers. The designation for q
candidate Tor whom one desires TO vote
Is to place an \ opposite his name, in
the place prepared at the right. Those
Tor whom one does not wish to cast a
ballot are to be mOlested in any way:
they are not to be scratched, but simply
left as found.
At the head OF the ticket will be found
the names OF the various parties. 4
cross opposite the party name for which
one desires to east STRAIGHT ballot
without further marking of names OF
candidates, will serve that purpose.
mere are four presidential electors
named Tor each party. Unless one votes
a straight ticket, by placing an \ oppo
site the party name, the four electors of
ones party muet each be marked to Sc
cure fu!l vote for ones choice for preei-
cent and vice president. 1t is important
that republicans should remember and
act upon thls-but better wav is to
vote 1t straight, with a single X after
Republican Party" and then there is
no possible danger Of error or loss of
full Effect of ones vote.
Following is sample Of the correct
manner OF marking ballot:

Dudley slaughter Killed a Man Near
Davis In, self Defense.


Davis In, self Defense.
On yesterday mornings train
Deputy Bob Hutchins came down
from Davis having in custody
Dudley Slaughter of Ardmore as a
result of very unfortunate trag-
edy which occurred near that place
late Friday evening.
When seen at the commission
er's Office yesterday by an ARD
MoREIrE reporter young Slaughter
stated that the reports previously
received here in regard to the af-
fair were substantially correct, but
he was not inclined to discuss the
case and appeared to regret very
deeply the necessity which forced
him to take human life.
The facts as nearly as we can
ascertain them are as follow:
Young Slaughter and a man
named Bill Watson left Davis for
Sulphur about noon Friday.
While at Sulphur Watson is said
to have threatened Slsughter's life
as the result of some trivial mis-
understanding between them, but
they became reconciled and started
to return to Davis.
When about five miles from
Davis Watson again became quar-
relsome and renewed his threats to
kill Slaughter, finally getting out
of the buggy and drawing a revol-
yer. he fred at Slaughter three
times and the latter shot twice,
the second shot taking effect just
above -Watson's left ear and kill.
ing him almost instantly.
Slaughter tried to place the
body in the buggy, but was unable
to do so, Watson being large
man, and then hastened to Davis tC
summon aid and surrender himself
He is said to have been greatly
agitated and distressed on his ar
rival there and promptly surrend
cred to Town Marshal Woods, whC
subsequently turned him over t.
Deputy Bob Hutchins.
The deceased was a man about
go years of age and unmarried
He is said to have been a gambler
and had been in Davis but shor
time, so little is known of him

notified and the body shipped ther,
