WILL TRY TO EVEN UP OLD SCORES
Faculty and Seniors at Whitman COL
Iege Will Battle Royalty On the
Diamond.

The best event on the commence
ment week program at Whitman will
be the bah game on Monday after
noon between the faculty and the Sc
niors. 1t will be an occasion for
evening up old scores. and will prob
ably be a bloody contest. from start to
finish. Everything will be done in a
dignfied manner. however, by the dig
nified instructors and the still more
dignifted upper classmen.
The exact lineup of the teams is to
remain a mystery until the game is
called. but as the men are all general
utility players it will make little diff
ference no matter how they are placed
The faculty team includes such we'll
known players as Profs Penrose,
Brown, Anderson. Bratton. Brubaker,
Kendrick. Lyman, Hennings, Brode
and Ruby. The seniors are counting
on such men as Sutherland, ellis,
proSS' hydl' Douu, GllDreatn, VIII
liamS. Baldwin and Evans to win vic
tory for them. The umpire has not
yet been chosen but it is safe to say
he will be well armed. The game
will begin at o'clock and is guaran-
teed to last nine full innings, even
if it becomes necessary to finish it by
lamp-light.

RELATIVE TO LEGISLATIVE VACANCIES

The matter of the election procla-
nation with respect to the vacancies
in the state senate has been the sub
ject of communication between Cover
nor Mead and Attorney General John
D. Atkinson. A vacancy has occurred
in the fourth senatorial district by the
resignation of Walker B. Henry, of
Spokane county, and in the tenth dis
trict by the death of s. S. Russell. of
Ppmeroy, and the governor desired
legal advice as to whether or not he
should issue special writs of cleo
ton, is the report that comes from
Olympia
In concluding his reply, Assistant
Attorney General A. ]. FalknOr says:
I'VE doubt seriously whether, I'M
der the circumstances. a general cleo
ton occurring before the session of
the ltS1SldIuGe, any dC1On Is neceS-
sary to be taken by the governor The
electors in the counties comprising
the senatorial districts may, upon
their own motion, nominate and elect
senators to fill the vacancies.
However, as no harm can be done.
and especially in view of the vacancy

Vised of the necessity of filling the
vacancies, we would suggest that at

 Police Chief W. H. Taylor has also heard from the Mayor about the pie lures. Tn this letter the Mayor says he wants the Chief to instruct members of the police department to report all ille- gal pictures on biIlbccr, that steps may be taken to prosecute the bill posters and to remove the pictures.
 Mayor Teasue does not say if he has seen the picture of the semi-nude wo- man, but he expressed himself as un- alterably opposed to such displays on the bIllboards or anywhere else

MUST COVER NAUGHTY PICTURES ! ON BILLBOARDS, SAYS THE MA TOR.

Montgomery has an Anthony Com stock. His moral senses have been outraged at certain pictures on bill- boards of Montgomery and he has told Mayor Teasue about it. Mayor Teague agrees with this citizen whose name is withheld and the Mayor has prom ised to censor the bill boards in ac- eordance with an ordinance which gives him such power.
 Within the past few days billboards of Montgomery have been piastered with pictures showing a semi-nude fe- male figure advertising a certain pa- tent medicine. These pictures have aroused the indignation of some citf- zens and when an appeal was made yesterday morning to Mayor Teague he readily promised to suppress the pictures.
 A letter was written yesterday by the Mayor to the bill posters of Mont gomery telling them that they must not putspbscene, immoral or nude pie tures on the boards in Montgomery and that if any such pictures had been posted. they must be covered at once. He quoted the law to the bill posters

HOT TIMES IN WILCOX.
Races for Probate Judge and Sher
 ORershadow all Otheras

Races for Probate Judge and sherlR
 0Rershadow all Otheras
 Camden, Aug. 23.-(SpeciaL) )-One of the hottest political lights in the his- tory of the county Is now on for Pro- bate Judge and Sheriff. The candi- dates are leaving no stones unturned to reach tho goal of their ambition.
 The gubernatorial race pales into in- significance when compared to these races No longer doss one hear in- quiries made as to How is your beat for Conner or Cunningham" but all in- terest is centered on the races for Probate Judge and Sheriff.
 Since the meeting of the Executive Committee last week. when Judge Forster defined his position on the question of whether he would contest in the event he was defeated at the polls, and when he filed a statement that in the event he was defeated at the polls after a contest in the courts, he would. if successful in tpe courts, resign his office. the fight has erystalized Into a better political con- test.
 The friends of Judge Forster assert that his manly statement before the Executive Committee has made him votes and practically ins1res him the nomination The friends of Stanford. on the other hand, claim that this statement has not helped Forster for he did not make 1t until he was forced to do so, and that he boiled about all his strength in the first primary.
 Judge Forster has sent out circulars stating his position and asking the people to retain him in office
 Stanford is "sawing wood and saying nothing" but Is making an aggressive campaign and claims he will win out by a good majority.
 The outcome is awaited with inter est and 1t may take the oflcial count to decide.
 Tn the sheriff's race there seems to be an alignment of the Forster forces and the Moore adherents against the Stanford Curtis forces.
 So 1t Is freely predicted that Fors- ter and Moore will win or lose to- gether.
 From now until the polls close Mon flaw an aeeressive fight will be made and Wilcox county will breathe sigh of relief when the contest is over.
