Of special interest to .sociologists and
all students of the labor problem. The
Census Bureau exhibit is made in this
section. 1t shows the tabulating ma
chimes used in compiling the census re-
ports. The Lighthouse Board, also op-
Grating under this department, shows
the great revolving lenses in light
houses, with other interesting appn-
ances.
The space in the projecting north
west corner of the building is devoted
to the Library Of Congress. The edi-
fee which houses this library at Wash.
ington is held by many architects to
be the most beautiful building in the
world. tn interior decorations, by En-
mer Ellsworth Garnsey, furnish one
of the chief delights Of visit to the
national capital. A large model of this
splendid building is a feature of the
exhibit. The decorative features of
the interior are reproduced in their
original colors.
The next exhibit on the right hand
side of the central aisle is that of the
Interior Department, occupying II, 1872
square feet. In this large space the
visitor finds so many things Of COM
polling interest that he is loath to
leave. The Patent Office exhibit be-
longs to this section. There are mod
els Of many machines that have borne
an important part in the development
of the nations industries. The earliest
form of every device of human inven-
ton, SO far as possible. is shown here.
For instance, you may see the actual
sewing machine that was the first con-
trivance Of its kind every constructed;
it was patented in 1916 by Elias Howe.

cast iron plow, patented by Charles
Newbold In 1897: the first screw pro-
pelIer, invented by Robert Hook in
1850; and many other 'first' things
are to be seen. The model of Abraham
Iincoln's celebrated device for lifting
steamboats, of shoals is shown here.
The first harvesting machine. made in
the year $50 Il. c., is one Of the most
ancient exhibits at the Exposition.
There Is also model of the first steam
engine. made in Egypt in the same
year.

United States Senator George Turner
Of Spokane democratic nominee for
governor, is in Seattle on business
This is Senator Turner's first visit to
Seattle in several weeks. He was here

the first time since that meeting.
Senator Turner is confident of his
own election as governor and satisfied
with political conditions as he has
found them. He intends to make an
energetic campaign, visiting all parts
OF the state. and will put to the front
the issue of a railroad and tax commits

The outline of campaign policy has
not yet been thoroughly discussed by

Opens In Spokane.

The state campaign will open in
Spokane on September TO- said Sena-
tor Turner this morning. "At that
meeting there will be present many Of
the nominees and number of promi-
nent speakers. l am confident that the
meeting will be an entire success, and
that the sentiment in favor of the
democratic ticket will be forecast b.,
this gathering.
THE campaign in Washington Will
be fought out principally on the issue
Of a railroad and tax commission. The
question of granting relief in a single
bill or in two bills is a mere matter of
detail and unessential for the demo-
cratic platform pledges that it shall
be done. So far as 1 am concerned, 1
believe that both the regulative and tax
commission fea tures can be covered in
a single bill, though there are some
democratic and republican lawyers who
hold otnrwise. In any event, dem
ocratic Legislature and a democratic
administration will provide for both
the regulative and taxation features.
Commission Bill Issue.
Ever since the state was organized
regulative railroad commission that
would take up and settle points of diff
ference between the railroads and the
shippers. This is demand that repub-
lican legislatures have persistently
ignored.
THE democratic nominees for the
state Legislature are honorably bound
by their platform to provide for rail-
road regulation. The republican NOM
inees are not, and would not be, for
their convention put aside the question
of railroad commission. I believe the
people WILL as a result, elect demo-
cratic Legislature.
ours is to be a pro- commiss on
fight. So far as l am concerned and so
far as the people are concerned, this is
not an anti-railroad fight in the sense
that we are seeking to hamper or Grip
pie the railroads. The creation Of a
railroad commission would take away
from the legislature the question of
railroad regulation that has inter-
ferred heretofore with legislation that
should be provided for wider state in
terests. 1t would correct an existing
and growing evil.
Sure of Success.
Il have received assurances from all
parts Of the state of cordial support
that convince me the democratic ticket
will be elected. There seems to be a
widespread dissatisfaction with the re-
publican attitude that is noticeable
everywhere in the state. Reports are
all good and we are going into this
campaign thoroughly confident.
mo part of the state will be neglec-
ted in the democratic campaign. We
will make as vigorous an effort in
Western Washington as will be put
forth on the east side. A systematic
canvass is to follow after the Spokane
meeting. which formally opens the
campaign.
II expect later in the fall that num-
