ARE YOU IN SEARCH OF ONE

The best Negroes ana me best
whites Of the south are getting to-
gether, not in open convention, with
heated resolutions flying through the
ambient, but in fhe seclusion Of a con-
venient city Office, the leaders Of

race conferences and putting their
heads together for the good Of the
whole people. Through the wholesome
influence Of these practical heart to

being helped to secure a comfortable
home, the criminal Negro Is being sup
pressed and the ignorant ones are be-
ing educated. These are the brand Of
race conferences that do real good

To one on the outside the fight

Representative Slayden of Pierce

should he win out, even though
it looks impossible now. The

is the best fitted for the position.
For two terms he has held the
position of chief clerk of the
house and six years ago was
reading clerk, which position
has given him an insight into the
workings of the house. Then
again he is the type of man who
appeals to the average Ameri

he secured himself an education,
working his way first through
Pullman college and later through
the famous law school at Ann

practicing his profession at
North Yakima and from reports

Frank M. Dallam, of LOOMS,
passed through town the latter
part of last week on his way to
Olympia. At the recent general
election Mr.. Dallarl was elected
one of the five republican elec,
tors for this state and goes to
the state capital for the purpose
of meeting with the other four.
One of the members will be Sc
lected as messenger and will
carry the vote of this state to
Washington, d. c., where it will
be cast for w, H. Taft. Each Of
the five electors is candidate
for messenger and as the contest
will be hard one the matter
will probably be settled by lot.
1t is the hope of people of this
part of the state that Mr.. Dallam
will be the choice, for to him the
honor is certainly due. 1t is ex-
pected that he will return home
next week at the latest.
