FOR SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT

Cullman. July 2S.-(Special.) 1.-The case of the state against Robert Haynes and wife. charged with arson, ended sudden ly on a motion of defendants counsel to exclude all of the states testimony on the ground that it was insufficient to show that the dwelling was not burned accidentally. Cases were cited showing that the possession alone of the goods taken from building could not be re- ceiyed as proof of either larceny or bur glary, and that unless the state proved that the burning of the house was by some human agency and not an accident, the proof of possession of the large quan- tity of goods from the burned dwelling could not be admitted in evidence as tending to show guilt on the part of the defendants. Thc court held this to be the law and excluded all the evidence ordering a verdict of not guilty to be entered and the defendants were dis charged.

Places on the State Ticket

On the Republican governorship
ticket the name of W. NJ. Ridpath,
of Spokane, will be first, John d.
Atkinson second and J. W. Robin
son third, with A. E. Mead. Henry
Mcbride and S. G. Cosgrove down
the line Most politicians think
place will not count for much in
the securing of first choice votes
and that it is advantageous only
in obtaining second choice votes.
Ridpath is quite generally consid-
cred a second choice candidate, and
it would give person a headache
to figure out who has any advan-
tage in the way the ticket for that
office has been formed.
Mead, Atkinson and Cosgrove
were willing to cast lots for places
on the primary ticket, and Atkin-
kinson was willing, if Ridpath and
Mcbride would not consent, to
have only three draw for places.
Ills "ouiu IdNC pun I1iu t'a'll HlHt,
Robinson second and the balance
in doubt. Ridpath's representa-
tive in Olympia would not consent,
Mcbride could not he reached by
wire, and Governor Mead declined
to draw lots unless all went into
the plan. Governor Mead. whose
friends reserved a place in line for
him, however, refused to accept the
place. This place was third from
the head and would put him sec
ond in the list of governors. Mr..
Atkinson has advocated the lot
system from the first and was con-
sistent to the last.
On the lieutenant governorship
ticket Ellis Morrison is first. Lieu
tenant Governor Charles r. Coon
is second, A, Y. Fawcett is third
e. G: Austin is fourth and NJ. E..
Hay is fifth.

Regards Voting for Judge

At the primary election, to be
held Sept. 8, 1908. the names of
all candidates for the offices Of
Judge of the superior court and the
supreme court will be placed at the
bottom of all ballots, either Re-
publican, Democratic or Socialist,
and the voter will express his choice
by placing a cross after the name
of the candidate he wishes to vote
for. There is no first or second
choice votes for judges. He (the
voter) must not place a cross after
more than three names for candi-
dates for the supreme court. as
only three judges for the supreme
court are to be elected. If he votes
for more than three judges for the
supreme court his ballot will not
count for that office. The voter
will vote for one Judge of the SUI
perior court, and if he votes for
more than one his ballot will not
count for that office Only the
names of the three candidates for
the supreme bench receiving the
highest number of votes will be
placed upon the general election
ticket, so their nomination at the
primary amounts to an election.
Only the one name of the
candidate for superior court Judge
who receives the largest number of
votes at the primary election will
be placed on the general ticket. In
voting precincts where the voter is
required to register, the voter will
not be permitted to vote unless he
has registered before the 9Th day OF
September, 1908. -Chewelah indie

The colonist rates which go into
effect Sept. l and continue until
Oct. 81, are of greater Importance
TO Washington and the Pacific
Northwest than to any other por-
ton of the United States. The
people are talking about this Sec
ton of the country. They want to
come here, and when they come on
Il one-way ticket in nine cases out
of ten they remain and become
prosperous citizens. Every com
mercial organization, as we'll as
every citizen of Washington, should
do their part toward adding to the
population of the state during the
sixty days of these colonist rates,
by writing personal letters to par
ties in the east who can better
their condition by coming this way.
The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1908-07-16

Rather formidable list or can
didates who have filed nomination
papers, appears in this issue of The
MINER. In addition there Will
doubtless be number of others on
the Republican ticket and many
on the other side, as the Democrats
have not generally come into the
ring as yet There are four candl-
dates for commissioner from the
Third district. three of whom, DR.
Sutherland, of Newport; R. d. An
derson, of Penrith, and f. S Max
we'll, of Lenora, are from this side
of the county. A popularity OF the
law is that the whole county will
vote on the commissioners from
each district, and unless some sort
of an arrangement is perfected
whereby the East side can unite on
one candidate. We are very apt to
be left out when the votes are
counted. Eugene Jenne has sent
in his papers for the nomination
for sheriff, and A. w. McMorran
is preparing his for representative.
Further than that we know of
other candidates to come up on the
Republican ticket from this side.
The Democrats of the East side
have not yet entered the arena, but
will doubtless soon do so. after a
conference which will settle the
matter of who will run.
