WASH. CANDIDATE
FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR

County Central Committee, and has
had much experience in public affairs.
He has always taken an active inter
est in local affairs, and is staunch
believer in the future of Washington.
An important duty of the Lieutenant
Governor is that of appointing the
various committees of the Senate. One
committee that is of Importance to
the people of Washington is commonly
called "The Railroad Committee. -
Mr.. Hay is a very enthusiastic sup
porter of the railway commission law.
and believes that the commission
should be given power to stand be-
tween the people and the transporta-
tion corporations. He has spent two
sessions of the Legislature lobbying
for the passage of the railway COM
mission law.
Another very important committee
is the one known as the "Appropria-
tion Committee. " All bills presented
to the Legislature asking TOT approprl-
ations in behalf of the maintenance
and extension of state institutions, or
to meet the expense incurred in con-
ducting state enterprises. are referred
to the appropriation committee. Mr..
Hav believes in an economic and fair
distribution of state funds, and if
elected, will appoint his committees
with that end in view. If partial at
all, it will be in behalf of the educa-
tional institutions of the state, for it
is his belief that the maintenance and
extension of the latter should be we'll
cared for by the Legislators Of Wash
ington.

Whereas, the said ward lines Of
said City of Pullman were changed in
the year 1907, and
Whereas, unless the said precinct
lines are changed to conform with the
said ward lines, certain persons will be
compelled to register in one ward
for the City Election, and in another
ward for the Primary and General
Election.
Therefore, it is ordered by this
Board that the boundary lines of voting
precincts Nos. al, 81 and GA he fixed
and established to coincide with and
correspond to the lines of the above
named wards respectively as they now
exist. -
The changing of the precincts to
correspond with the wards necessitated
a change in the personnel of the cleo
tion boards appointed in the three pre-
cincts for the coming primary cleo
tion, and the commissioners therefore
ordered that Thos. W. Savage, as
judge, he transferred from precinct al
to 81, and that w. M. Cave be ap.
pointed judge in Al in place of Mr.
Savage. VIM. Swain was appointed
inspector and w. A. Knowles Judge
in No. 81.

Hon. w. A. Halterman, of Meteor,
Ferry county, was here Monday manu-
featuring sentiment in favor of a
county appropriation for the Alaska
Yukon fair, he being a member of the
fair commission. Mr.. Halterman was
a member of the last house of repre-
sentatives, and is a candidate for re-
election. Many counties in the state
are making appropriations for county
exhibits at the fair, and Mr.. Halterman
appeared before the Whitman county
board Tuesday. There is divided opin-
ion as to the feasibility of an exhibit
from this county, but the sentiment is
growing that we should at least be as
we'll represented as we were at the
Portland exposition.

ATKINSON NONDIRECT PR|MARyLAW
Attorney General Instructs Voters in
Regard to Marking Ballots at Com
ing Primary Election.

Olympia, Wash, Aug. Is. The at
torney generals office has recently re-
ceived from prominent supporters Of
various candidates for nomination at
the direct primary election, to be held
on the 9th of next month, numerous
inquiries as to how the people might
be given the opportunity and the time
to carefully mark their ballots at the
coming primary election. In response
to these inquiries Attorney General
Atkinson today wrote the following
letter:
''The direct primary election law
will receive its first trial in this state
on September 8. Every good citizen
wants to see the law given a fair trial
and the people given the greatest pos
sible opportunity of expressing their
choice as to who the nominees of the
respective parties to which they belong
shall be.
"This office has heretofore urged
the newspapers of the state to give
the widest publicity through their col
umns to the provisions of our direct
primary law, the manner of voting and
the necessity of voting for both first
and second choice in all cases, except
judges, where four or more candidates
have filed declarations of candidacy
for the same state or congressional
office.
Second Choice" Important Factor.
In regard to the matter of making
suitable provisions so that every elect
or may have a reasonable amount of
time to mark his ballot so that the
same will be counted as he wishes it
counted, ! will say this: Under the
general election law, with which we
are all more or less familiar, a person
desiring to vote straight party ticket
can do so by marking a cross in the
circle under the party name for whose
candidates he wishes to vote. Many
vote straight party tickets. Others
vote straight party tickets with few
exceptions. In either case, having
had number Of years of experience
with our general election law, voter
requires but a short time in which to
cast his ballot at the November cleo
tion. On the other hand. in voting at
a direct primary election it is neces-
sary for a voter to mark a cross or an
x opposite the name of each candidate
for whom he wishes to vote. If he is
to vote intelligently he must read the
ballot over carefully and note espe-
cially the instructions as to second
choice. This may require 10 or Is
minutes time. Under the provisions
of the general election law, which are
made applicable to primary elections,
a voter is not permitted to remain in
a booth longer than five minutes, pro-
vided the other booths are occupied.
Under the provisions of the general
election law the polls are to be kept

DEER STOPS PASSENGER TRAIN

A bold 2-year-old buck deer held up
the Clearwater passenger train Friday
morning. and, after curiously looking
at the engine, the young deer vaulted
a fence, ran slowly to the river bank
and leaped into the water to swim to
the opposite bank. where it dis
appeared in the brush. The buck
actually caused the train to stop, ac-
cording to the statement of Conductor
George Phillips, as the animal was
grazing on the right of way and the
engineer feared he would run down
the beautiful buck, which showed little
sign of fear.

open from O'Clock a. m. until Z
o o'clock p. nj. Under the provisions of
our primary election law the polls are
to be kept open from IL a. m. to 8 y.
M, or one hour less than under the
general election law.
Il hope that the public press of
this state in order to assist in secur-
ing the fullest expression of the people
at the coming primary election will
call attention to the fact that on an
average it will probably require two
or three times as long to properly
mark a primary election ballot as is
required to properly mark a ballot at
general election, and that the polls
at the direct primary election will re-
main open one hour less than at the
general election in November.
Should Have More Booths.
The county auditors of the several
counties of the state will print and de-
liver to the primary election officers
the ballots to be used upon primary
election day, also instructions, also
other necessary election supplies. 1t
would be we'll for the several county
auditors of the state when delivering
to the precinct primary election off
GERS the primary election ballots and
other supplies to be used at the direct
primary election to strongly urge upon
the primary election officers that many
more booths for the use of the voters
be provided at the primary election in
each precinct than have been provided
at the general elections in the past.
eff the press of this state, the
county auditors and the primary cleo
tion officers fail to take this matter up
along the lines indicated above it is
very likely that many people will
simply be disfranchised and not per
mitted to take any part at the ensuing
primary election.
"There is one other point, how
ever, which should be called to the
attention of the primary election Off
GERS. and that is a provision con-
tanned in section II of our direct
primary election law, wherein it is
provided that if at the hour of closing
there are any electors in the polling
place desiring to vote and who are
qualified to participate therein. and
who have not been able to do 80 since
appearing at the polling place, said
polls shall be kept open reasonably
long enough after the hour of closing
to allow those present at that hour to
vote. No one not present at the hour
of closing shall be entitled to vote be-
cause the polls may not be actually
closed when he arrives.
81 shall hand a copy of this letter
to the representatives, of the daily
press of this state in order that the
newspapers may publish same if they
desire to do so.
