TO CONFUSE THE ILLITERATES
ANOTHER SIDNEY IN THE
POLITICAL FIELD.
The White AS Well AS The Col
ored Illiterates Will Have
Their Troubles

The colored illiterate who wishes TO
vote for Mars Sydney Mudd for Con-
greSs this year will have hard time,
and even some Of the whites ones may
be puzzled il the plans of the oppo-
sition work out.
Yesterday there were filed at the
Executive Department not only pe-
tition to have placed ON the official
ballot the name of John T.. Mudd as
an independent Republican candidate
for Congress. but also IA petition TO
place there the name of Sydney o.
Mercer as "repudiationn candidate
for Congress, thus hoping TO cause
confusion ON account of the family
name in the former case and in regard
t the given name and party designa-
tion in the latter.
It appears very doubtful this morn
ing whether the attempt TO mystify
the colored voter of the Fifth Congress
sional district by the nomination of
John +. Mudd. Independent Republi
can. and Sydney o. Mercer, Repudia-
tion candidate for Congress il elposi-
tion TO Sydney Il. Mudd, Republican,
will have the effect intended ON ac-
count of inaccuraoi - and deficiencies
| in the petitions TO be placed on the
official ballot Mr. Carl Hardy, of
| the Executive Department, went Co
| Baltimore today TO consult with the
| Attorney General about the matter.
The petition submitted by the sup
| porters of Mr. Mercer is deficient in
| that it does not give both the home
| and business addresses of all the sign
ers, there being at least eighty of the
| 1922 signers who did not state the lat
ter as is required by law, thus reduc-
ing the number of lawful signers con
siderably below the 800 required. Mr..
| Mercer, however, and Mr.. Martin
| Reynolds, a promin Democrat of
| the Twenty fourth ward, who was
| with him here last night and this
morning, raised the point that the
law did not require that the signer
should state the residences themselves,
but only that the information should
be given. They therefore supplied
the addresses themselves, as they
claimed to be thoroughly informed on
the matter Upon the legality of this
course the Attorney General is being
consulted before the name of Mr..
Mercer goes on the ballot.
The application of Mr.. John Il.
Mudd also bears indications of loose
ness and indirection. On the face OF
it the signers appear to be people OF
the most ignorant kind or those who
simply desire the success of the Dem
ocratic ticket. It is explained by
those back of the movement that the
declaration of intention TO support
the person named in the petition is
subject TO change before election day
and is not binding.

For Mutual Insurance Company

1 special meeting of the Business
Mems Association was held last night
for the purpose of considering plans
for the organization of a Mutual Fire
Insurance Company. The matter was
discussed in all of its phases and the
following committee was appointed to
arrange for the organization of such q
company: John dep. Douw, chair
man: George @. Barton, John B.
Flood, Louis Baer, Henry B. Myers,
Frank A. Munroe. The organization
of a Mutual Fire Insurance Company
by the Business Mems Association has
been found necessary owing to the
exorbitant rates charged now by other
insurance companies and the ridicu-
Ious restrictions placed upon the par
ties insured. The local organization
bids fair to meet with unusual encour-
agement and has been a success IN
every town that has tried such an en-
terprise.

Special Dispatch to Evening Capital
St Petersburg, Oct. l4.-Mail ad-
vices from the correspondents at the
front throw many interesting side
lights on the situation in the camps
and garrison towns as we'll as on the
battlefield. 1.-THE japanese prisoners
are great favorites, especially with
women, " is the testimony of all the
correspondents. The prisoners at Omsk
and Perm. say the correspondents, are
emitting out their Muscovite rivals,
not only in haircutting and photo
graphv. but also in the politer pur
suits of the court of Venus. Most of
them we're rescued from the steamers
sent TO bottle up Port Arthur by Ad-
miral Togo, and the knowledge of
their daring has led to more than one
receiving proposals of marriage. The
Japs, however, are, as a rule, already
married. An exception is Lieutenant
Tichoshima. This brave officer, look
ing extremely interesting with his
arm in a sling, won the heart of
Mdlle. Ludmila ", the daughter of
a retired Russian colonel He claim
ed the girls hand, but the grim father
declared that the japanese must first
become Christian and naturalized
Russian. Torn between love and
duty. the Jap hesitated, and deamnd-
ed a week TO make up his mind. Be-
fore the term had expired the Russian
received the following letter: Your
daughter has made me Christian
already. but q Russian / can never
become. / renounce my suit. When
the letter was shown the girl she re-
marked: 'Then will love him al
ways. But if he had betrayed his
own country l should have hated
him. The father consented, and the
marriage, it is announced, will take
place as soon as the war is over.

For Commissioner.

The candidate for commissioner from
the central district, Daniel Sinclair, is
another who needs no introduction or
commentator to the Herald readers.
Doubtless all of them are his acquaint-
ances and friends, for he is an old citi.
zen of the county, having located here
when the white residents were few and
far apart. Mr.. Sinclair has resided for
many years in Parker Bottom, where he
has made success of ranching and
fruit raising. He is a man whose bust
ness judgment is recognized as the best ;
he is cautious and conservative, and the
county may intrust their interests to him
and his two fellow commissioners who
will be elected with him, in the knowl-
edge that he will look after them as
carefully and conscientiously as he
would his own.

For Justice of the Peace.

]. A. Taggard, nominee for justice of
the peace, is an old resident of North
Yakima whose popularity as well as his
qualifications for the office, assure his
re-electian to the place he is now filling
most acceptably. After forty years
residence in California Mr. Taggard
came to the Yakima country fifteen
years ago. Previous to that time he
had been in the mercantile business
and came here through the advice of his
physician, being in very poor health
After recovering he concluded there was
no better place to stay. He has filled
the Office for several years capably and
acceptably, as he will again for another
two-year period.

handling their business. and often large
sums of money to their entire satisfac-
ton. He understands his business. and

is elected. He has business experience,
the excellent judgment, the high stand
ard of honor and the thorough acquaint-
ance with the needs of his section in
particular and the whole county general
that should be possessed by every man
aspiring to the office of commissioner.
He is pioneer in the lower county, to
which he came in 1888. Two years later
he located in Prosser, the future of
which he perceived.
Mr.. Jensen engaged in the drug bust
ness in Prosser until the fall of 1902 for
five years. He was honored with the
city treasureship of Prosser in 1890.
when the town was incorporated. This
office he still holds, being the only treas
urer the town has ever had. If Mr.. Jen-
sen is elected commissioner, no fear need
be felt for the safety of the county's
interests, he will serve the people nom
estly and well.
