Old Joe, a farmer, was noted for the
many ways he had of skimping and
saving. one day he hired big country
boy to help him with his work. The
boy reported for duty at $50 o'clock In
the morning, and Old Joe sat him down
to breakfast. After the lad had finished
the meal the sharp old farmer said,
"What do you say if we eat dinner
while we are at it" AS the boy agreed,
they fell to and ate little more. Then,
seeing that the youngster could eat no
more, Old Joe suggested, Suppose we
finish up and eat supper too" "All
right" assented the lad. and he man.

A. s. HOd&don

Opposed to Mr.. Hewitt, on the demo-
cratic ticket, is Mr. A. S. Hodgdon, OF
Hoquiam, one ol the best known and
most respected citizens of Grays Harbor.
A man who is personally known to the
voters OF the Thirtieth district, which
comprises that portion Of Chehalis coun-
" lyin- vest OF Aberdeen.
MIR. Hodgdon is a native OF New
Hampshire, where he was born in 1853.
After receiving the basis of good edu-
cation, he engaged in railroad work,
serving as fireman and locomotive en-
gineer in Iowa for seventeen years. In
1898 he quit railroading and took com.
mercial course in a business college at
Oscalusa, Iowa, coming to Hoquiam in
1894.
During his residence OF twelve years in
Chehalis county, Mr.. Hodgden has ac-
quired an enviable reputation for hon
esty both OF purpose and execution, and
straightforward dealing. For number
of years he has acted as agent for num-
Der OF logging firms on Grays Harbor,
and it is a noteworthy fact that loggers
and mill companies are always satisfied
with the scale Of a raft OF logs made by
%'Bert" Hodgdon.
A man OF Mr.. Hodgdon's integrity and
ability in the legislature will always
command respect and hold an influence
that would be impossible to man much
younger in years, and million years
younger in experience and stability Of
character. The voters OF the Thirtieth
district will be but doing justice to them
selves by casting their ballots tor A. S.
Hodgdon, whom they KNOW will faith.

The Siren Cry of."Party Loyalty"

The Bosses. The Voter Should
Judge for Himself and is Likelv
So To DO.

Perhaps no election ever held in Che
halls county has given the promise of
independent voting that is assured for
November 6, next. That the county is
largely republican has been seized upon
by bunch of grafters to frame up an
undesirable school OF politics, is tco
we'll known to require space. That the
voters of the county will stand for II g
play is up to them.
Among the most important officers to
be elected are those who make our laws
the execution of them are OF such nature
that they may be compelled. With this
idea in view, let us compare the candi-
dates for Legislative honors: The HERALD
has endeavored so far in this campaign
to conduct the fight for its selections
upon supposition that nominee of a
political party must have something to
have recommended him to his party,
and that unless testimony or knowledge
were 10 the contrary, we would decline
to discuss his pei sonality.
Still, it becomes the duty of news
paper to set forth the facts so far as it
knows them, and this the HERALD has
attempted to do. We have explained
heretofore our objections to, and reasons
against the different candidates for Of
flee in this county. To again take up
this subject, let us compare the nominees
for the state Legislature from the 30th
district, and-unprejudiced voter-decide
which will do your business at Olym-
pia.

party was allowed by the bosses to talk
Nominated for representative for this
district Harry B. Hewitt, Of Hoquiam,
and. in describing him we will be so fair
as to accept the Seattle P.-I., the state
ment of which follows:
"Harry B. Hewitt, republican nominee
for representative from the Thirtieth
district, Chehalis county, was born in
Menasha, Wis , in 1874. After graduating
from the High school he entered the
University of Wisconsin. and later en-
gagged in the banking business. He re-
mained in this business but short tiEe,
giving it up to enter Harvard university,
where he graduated with honors, being
member OF the class OF 100. Mr.. Hewitt
then came to the Coast and became in
tereted in the numbering business. He
is at present at the head Of the Hewitt
Logging company, which is doing some
extensive work in the east end OF Cheha-
ls county. Mr.. Hewitt is nephew Of
Henry Hewitt, Jr., the well.known pro-
moter and financier of Tacoma"
