to protect the company against

lines, Mr.. Field said:

came the custom, long since, to

The piece de resistance for the
bill opening Sunday afternoon is
a Fred Niblo sketch in which Hall
McAllister is starring. Mr.. Nc
Allister, who has already won a
reputation as one of the best of
the younger American actors, was
last seen here with Margaret Ang-
lin in "The Marriage of Kitty" In
the supporting cast is Miss Gather
inc Cameron, who was last seen
here in "A Message From Mars.
The sketch is bright and fast. Ger
man comedy is the offering of Ray
mond and Caverly. Their act is
along Weber-Fieldian lines, but is
distinct. The Italian Trio is COM
posed of Neopolitans, who have a
program of high class standard,
such as the "Misere" from Trova-

with a popular number like "The
Palms" added to give variety. The

The chief addresses of the Sec
ond Ward Bryan club were made
by Alex Winston and William
Blackman, the latter for eight
years labor commissioner of the
state of Washington, who has re-
Gently become resident of Spo-
kane. Mr.. Winston said that the
trusts and combines were being
made to contribute to the election
of Taft, hence the refusal of the
republicans to publish their cam
paign contributions. He appealed
for the inauguration of real
Square DEAF policy, which he
said could only be secured by the
election of Mr.. Bryan. MIR. Win
ston put in some good words for
Captain John Gray and Lester P.
Edge, the legislative candidates.
William Blackman, among other
things, said:
Zone of the best laws ever en-
acted in the state of Washington
was the 10-hour law for women
workers, passed by the fusion gen.
eral assembly of 1897. 1t became
my duty to see that that law was
enforced, and in this work some
valuable assistance was rendered
by Alex Winston, who was then a
deputy attorney general.
1--WE must change the system
that enables a few men to hurl a
country in the midst of good times
into a condition of financial panic.
This reform can never be attained
through a continuation of the re-
publican party in power, as 1t is
owned body and soul by the inter
ests responsible for the panic of
1907.
"Laboring men ought not to be
led away by false promises. For
IL years an effort has been made
to get an employers liability act
through the Washington legisla-
ture without success, and some of
the men responsible for it's defeat
are now running again for re-
election.
"Laboring men owe it to them
selves to support the policy of po-
litical action in this campaign out
lined by Samuel Gompers, that
| veteran advocate of the cause of
labor, who has grown gray in the
service of the workingman."
w. j. Slater, who recently re-
turned from a trip through the
east, made favorable report on
political conditions. Captain John
Gray was called and said that he
had served in the general assem-
bly, of 1903 and never missed roll
call or lodged question that
came before the legislature. Will
liam Matthews said he had begun
to look to Roosevelt as second
emancipation, but alas, he had fall
