Workmen Scarce for
Building Operations.

AaSe Is a general scarcity of labor
In Spokane in the building trades,
Applications are made daily at union
labor headquarters for men and great
difficulty Is experienced in meeting
the demand.
The demand Is bound to increase
as the building season grows older
WIfk Will soon begin on several
buildings now under contemplating
and on the new Catholic cathedral,
and the shortage will be Increased.
Irhe deportation of laborers to
neighboring towns where small build
ing booms are on is chiefly RESPONSE
bic for the local situation.
Stone masons are in demand and
stone masons' helpers. Bricklayers
will soon be wanted. in fact, the mar
ket Is now short.
There Is work In Spokane for moro
carpenters. painters. paperhangers
and plasterers. Journeymen plumbers
are also needed.
Wages are good and the new scales
all contemplate an advance SO that
in all probability the ranks of labor
in Spokane will be greatly increased
from surrounding cities during the
season.

WHO IS THE
Safer Man !?

or all the candidates for mayor,
which one would best promote and
maintain the interests of this city
and all it's people?
Would IL not be the man who has
the courage to say before the election
just what he will do after the cleo
ton?
Wouldn't the man who has proven
himself capable of making success
of his own business also prove cap
able of successfully conducting the
business of the city?
Isn't it safer to have n man in the
mayors chair who Is pledged to pro-
tect the homes of this beautiful city
of homes. and who will keep that
pledge. than to entrust the important
affairs of great and growing inland
metropolis to the tenGer mercies OF
men who absolutely refuse to de-
clare what their course will be when
they are once in office
Concedirg the fact that w. II.
Acuff Is the only candidate who has
been fearless enough to state his eX-
act position on all questions affecting
the welfare of Spokane and it's repre-
sentative people. wouldn't you feel
like trusting him rather than to trust
those who refuse to take an equally
candid and fearless stand?
Has not Mr. Acuff. as president of
the city council OF Spokane. amply
demonstrated his familiarity. with
public questions, and his ability "a
meet every emergency that may arise
In the administration of city affairs
Has he ever been found weak. vacil-
iating, undecided or helpless in tho
face of circumstances demanding in
telligent action?
Is there any interest in this city
that Is entitled to greater or more
careful consideration at the hands OF
its public officials than the interests
of the home?
What would Spokane be without
homes. anyway? And wherein lies
the safety of those homes unless the,
are fully protected against the influ
ences of evil?
Who, besides Mr.. Acuff. has said
"As between evil or any kind ant

In the past, stand by the homer" n,
