Thos. j. Watkins, democratic candi.
date for county commissioner for the
second district, was born in Adair coun-
ty, Kentucky, in 1849, and is farmer
by occupation, and practical business
man. with thorough knowledge OF road
building and the needs of the district he
aspires to represent on the county board.
He has been a resident of Chehalis
county since 1888, farming all the while,
near Oakville at first, but for a number
Of years he has operated splendid farm
adjoining the town of Porter.
Mr.. Watkins is an ordained minister

and is regardee by all who have the
honor of his acquaintance as a splendid
type of an American citizen; honest and
upright in all his dealings with his fel.
low men, he will play no political tricks
to secure election, nor will he be under
obligatians to anybody but the general

With Thos. ]. Watkins on the board,
those jobs would find difficult road to

WHO THEY ARE
Biographical Sketches of
Some of the Demo-
cratic Candidates.
ED. M. HOOVER.

Genial Ed. Hoover, democratic nomi-
nee for representative for the th!rtieth
district, is one OF the best known men in
Chehals county, where he has made his
home for the past fifteen years, and few
men in the county have more personal
friends than Mr.. Hoover. His long resi-
dence in tine county, and the official
positions he has occupied, render him
particularly we'll equipped to represent
Chehalis county in the law making body
Of the state, and all who have the pleas
ure OF his acquaintance know that his
efforts will be in the direction of the
general we'll being OF the county and
state, and that no influence, corporation
or other, will be able to cause him to
swerve from the path he believes to be
right.
Edward M. Hoover is native of Ko-
komo, Indiana, and came to Washing
ton sixteen years ago. After year in
Whatcom county, he came to Chehalis.
which has been his home ever since,
with the exception Of three seasons
spent at Haines Mission, Alaska, as SUI
perintendent Of large salmon cannery.
and he is at the present time supeiin.
tendent Of the Hoouiam cannery, and
his election to the legislature would be
but a just recognition of the fishing in
dustry of Grays lIarbor.
From 1897 to 1899 Mr.. Hoover was
deputy sheriff of this county, and deputy
county auditor for the succeeding two
years, and in both those positions gained
host Of friends by his accommodating
disposition and genial manner. He
agrees heartily with the legislation pro-
posed by the Federation of Labor, and
stands pledged to support it, while his
opponent on the republican ticket, Geo.
L. Davis, has refused to pledge himself
in that matter. Mr.. Hoover is handi-
capped in the campaign by being unable
tc give any time to canvassing for votes,
as his duties at the cannery require all
his time, this being the rush season in
that business, but his we'll known qualiti-
cations and reputation for straightfor-
ward dealing should easily return him
against Davis, who already has one Office
which he has filled in very unsatisfac-
tory manner with nearly all who have
official business with him. The HERALD
predicts that if Ed. Hoover is sent to
Olympia the people of Chehalis county
will never have occasion to regret it.

JUDSON OR COON?
WHICH SHALL BE NEXT LlEUTEN-
ANT GOVERNOR
Why do the Farrell Managers Keep Their Nom
nee for Lieutenant. Governor off the Stump?
Are They Ashamed Of Him? If so Why do
They Not Take Him off the Ticket?

Second only in importance to the gov
ernorship is the Office of lieutenant.
governor. The lieutenant-governor is
president of the state senate, and ap.
points all the committees of that body.
Under modern legislative methods, the
fate OF bills is chiefly determined in COM
mittee.
The acknowledgement will appoint
the railroad committee OF the senate,
and if he is railroad tool, he will pack
against all railroad reform measures. He
will pack the other important commit
tees so that the railroad lobby can men.
ace every bill introduced by commits
sion senator.
For this important Office the democrats
have nominated Stephen Judson, an
honest, rugged, courageous, able old
pioneer, whose life in Washington has
been an open book for more than 80
years. Mr.. Judson has been on the
stump for weeks, showing himself to the
voters, and telling the people exactly
where he stands and what he will do if
elected.
For lieutenant governor the Farrell
state convention nominated Charles 4.
Coon, who has aptly been called "a man
of mystery" For reasons best known
to themselves. they keep him in seclu.
sion, and he permits himself to be kept
in concealment.
Why don't they bring Coon before the
people? Ii they are ashamed of him
why don't they take him off their ticket?
Are they afraid that he knows too much
and will strike back If they do that?
