WILL CONTEST ELECTION
OF LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
Defeated Candidate in Washing
ton Will Claim Opponent
Lost Voting Residence

SPOKANE, Dec. 25.-It is stated here
by friends of A. c. Edwards, defeated
candidate for lieutenant governor, that
the democratic state committee is pre-
pairing to contest the election of Nd. E.
Hay to that office on the ground that
at the time of his election he was not
a legal voter, having abandoned his
residence at Wilbur, Lincoln county,
and not having resided in Spokane
county long enough to acquire a vot-
ing residence.
When Hay filed his declaration of
candidacy he gave his residence as
Wilbur. In September he registered
in Spokane. certifying that he had re-
sided in that city for 75 days prior TO
that time.
1t is said that afidavits have been
secured for the purpose Of showing
these facts and that two prominent
attorneys have been employed to pros :
ecute the contest. The fight is espe-
cfallv important because OF the chance
that Governor -elect 5. q. Cosgrove also
may be unable to qualify for his office

WAR WAGfD UPON
fYfGLASS TAKERS
Officers of State Board OF
Optometry Prosecute Un-
licensed Opticians
PeddIers Frighten the Unsus-
pecting With Prospect of
Blindness

A determined campaign to rid this
portion of California of eyeglass takers
and unlicensed opticians has been put
into effect by Secretary F. G.. Chinn of
Sacramento and f. w. Laufer of Oak
land, officers of the state board of
optometry, who have detailed Chief of
Inspectors Nick 3. Harris to conduct
the fight against the undesirables re-
gardless of time or expense
Inspector Harris, who formerly was
a member of the health and police de-
partments of Los Angeles, is now in
San Francisco gathering evidence
against a number of men who pose as
opticians, and actions against them
probably will be begun in the local
courts within a short time. Harris said
yesterday that vigorous fight would
be waged and that he expected much
good would be accomplished in doing
away with dangerous form of graft
Wherever we find the eyeglass fake
practiced we file charges against the
guilty person for. obtaining money
under false pretenses," said Harris.
we have just finished prosecuting
two persons in the northern part of the
state. and they were forced to pay
fines amounting to about $500 In the
southern part of the state we have hao
several cases recently.
Inc tfaVellnS peddlerS are the
greatest menace, and it is our purpose
to warn unsuspeeting people agains
them. Their game is TO frighten per
sons into believing that they are going
blind and then sell them glasses made
out or ordinary window glass at price:
that / have known to range from S2t
to $50. Even were such glasses prop
erly made and fitted, they could be pur
chased of any honest local dealer fol
from So to So"
The state board of optometry is pre-
pared to furnish information free o

license of any person in the state op
