DIRECT PRIMARY
ADVANCES FORM
Most Modern Method of Man,
ing Political Candidates
Tried at Spokane.
FINES ARE PROVIDED FOR.
STRiNGENCY OF LAWS INTEND
ED AS BAR TO THOSE WILLING
TO TAKE SMALL RISKS OF DIS
HONESTY.

Spokane, Wash, Sept. 5.-What is
declared by authorities to be the most
advanced form of direct primary cleo
ton law on the statute books Of any
commonwealth in the union, will be
used the first time throughout Wash
ington next Tuesday. when candidates
for state offices, United States sena-
tors, representatives in Congress, judg-
es of the supreme and superior courts
and county offices, will be nominated
to be voted for at the general election
in November.
The unique features of the law,
which was approved March 13, 1907,
and given it's initial test at the city
election in Spokane the following
April, are the direct vote for United
States senator, the non-partisan judi
ciary, the second choice and the pro-
visions restricting lavish expenditures
of venal publications. Fines and i'm
prisonment are also provided for any
one who solicits money, liquor, or any
thing of value for influencing votes,
thus throwing every possible safe
guard around the franchise, and in a
way eliminating the old-time war
horse politician as factor in the NOM
nation of candidates.
Any qualified voter can declare his
candidacy for any office on the ballot
used at any primary election, provided
he pays the fee required by law and
files his name, address and party af-
filiation, with the secretary of state
at least 80 days and not more than 60
days prior to the primary. The fee
for registering is $40 for any office
with a salary or compensation attach
ed Of 81 900 or less year, and where
more an additional amount, equal to
percent of the salary on such excess.
There are no party caucusses or con-
ventions to nominate candidates, or
the jobbery and machine methods usu-
ally attendant upon them.
A feature of the law not in use in
any other state requires tie voter to
designate his first and second choice
in all instances where there are four
or more candidates of any political
party for one state or congressional
office. The language of this provision
follows, in part:
mo voter shall vote for the same
person for first choice and second
choice, and no voter shall, where there
are four or more candidates for such
| nomination. vote for one person only,
either as first or second choice, and
no ballot so voted for one person only
for either first or second choice, or
for the same person for both first and
second choice. shall be considered a
complete ballot, but any ballot under
said conditions, failing to show both
first and second choice of different
persons, shall not be considered OF
counted for that office"

FAKE PAINTINGS.
One Of the Ingenious Tricks of the
Picture Dealer.

The tricks of the picture dealer?

At CLUB

The bouts at the 8. A. A. G. last
night saw some favorites bowled
over. Earl Richey put up strong
battle against a chap named Gene
Swanberg from nowhere Swan
berg Is probably under cover for he
stripped like well-seasoned scrap
per and put Richey to the bad i'm
mediately. To save Richey Referee
Douglas stopped the bout In the
middle of the fourth.
Lance Williamson, who Is con
sidered clever, was put away by a
big NUT named Ed Blum, who could
hit like a mules kick. He wasn't
at all clever and didn't know any
thing about boxing. But he could
have put an ordinary man out with
one of his swings on the shoulder.
Williamson stood manfully up to 1t,
but was getting wobbly when Mike
Butler instructed the referee to
stop 1t.
Heinie Ritter beat Leon Girton,
and Fred Creel and Bob Larson
went a draw. Creel was outweighed
about Is pounds, or might have
won.

said "blouse"-pronounced "blouze''
as they say in all the swell shops.
Here's how you can tell the differ
ence between waist and blouse:
A waist has fitted lining, blouse
has not. But really, it does seem
kind of hard to my way of thinking
to call something that costs about
hundred dollars, as some of them
do, merely blouse" They might
prefix something to the word, so
one would feel as though she were
getting her moneys worth.
Well. about the blouses. They are
indeed work of art. The day
when one could buy few yards of
val and stretch on some white goods
has gone. It's yards and yards
now, and often couple of kinds on
one blouse. For instance, there will
be German val. put on the most
exquisite white batiste, which is
