The Washington State Federation
of Labor has unequivically endorsed
Judge Miles Poindeyter for United
States senator, and has sent the fol-
lowing official letter to all the labor
organizations in the state:
To All Affiliated Misunderstanding
For the first time in the history of
the State of Washington, we have
before us the record of Congress-
man who has served the people in
stead of the special interests of his
state.
He desires to continue the fight in
our behalf in the halls of Congress
and is before us as q candidate for
United States Senator. The Ameri-
can Federation if Labor gives him
this endorsements:
"Mr. Miles Poindexter has respond
ed to our every call without evasion,
without excuse and without hesitancy,
and during the session of Congress
just closed he voted for the bills
which were passed and which are of
interest to Labor"
That Mr.. Poindexter should con-
tinue the work so splendidly begun
is the earnest desire of all progress
sve citizens. To that end we would
urge every believer in government by
the people who vote vote in the re-
publican primaries in September to
cast his ballot for Miles PoindeXter
as his choice for United States Sena-
tor. On primary day this question
will be settled for six years to come
POindeXter has stood by Labor's in

his own reelection. The Ben Sheeks
club was therefor formed, compris-
ed of citizens generally, who believe
it to the best interests of this county
that Judge Sheeks be kept on the Su-
perior bench for the above reason
as we'll as the following:
Mr.. Sheeks was appointed Judge
of the Superior Court of this county
about a year ago by Governor Hay,
upon the unanimous recommendation
of the attorneys of this county and
by large petition universally signed
by citizens of every class within the
county. Since that time, he has CIV
en- entire satisfaction to the bar and
to the public. His educational quail
tications, legal and otherwise, are of
the best. He is honest. upright and
impartial. AS jurist it is doubtful
if Ben Sheeks has superior in the
Northwest.
Since holding the position of Su-
perior Judge, Mr.. Sheeks has been
called on to try wide variety of
cases, civil and criminal. He has
shown marked ability and fairness
throughout. The poor man has a
chance in Ben Sheek's court. His
rights are protected with fearless
ness that has gained for Judge
Sheeks the respect and affection of
fair-minded citizens. The man of
wealth gets justice, nothing more.
Judge Sheeks has served a year.
He has been tried and found worthy.
He is candidate for reelection. 1t
is an unwritten law in American pol
itics that if an official has proven
himself fit he be given the endorse
ment of reelection. Judge Sheeks
has earned this endorsement.
We submit the above facts for the
consideration of the voters of Che
halls County. We believe every state
ment will be found true, and there
fore contend the reelection of Judge
Sheeks is for the best interest of the
citizens of Chehalis County. We have
faith in just decision for Judge
Sheeks, from the people, in the Pri-
maries, September 13.
Respectfully submitted,

Labor Day Most Memorable in His
tory of Unionism on Grays
Harbor

Probably no more successful Occas-
ion was ever the result of the Labor
Day programs, which have become
annual events on the Harbor than
that of last Monday. A larger num-
ber of union men than ever before
participated in the parade in the
forenoon while the sports program at
Electric park and the dancing at the
pavilion attracted large crowds.
The parade which moved through
the streets of HOquiam, starting
promptly at $3.50 o'clock, was an in.
spring spectacle. Twenty-seven diff.
ferent unions participated in it, aside
from three bands and floats. A fea-
ture of the parade was float by the
Women Suffragists, with "Votes for
Women" banners in evidence. The
Laundry works also had a creditable
float.
The order of marching was:
Mayor and city officials, supported
by platoon of police; carriages carry
ing President Case and local labor
officials; detachment from the Ho'
quiam fire department.; representa-
tives of Woman Suffragists; Hoquiam

Editor Herald:

Editor Herald:
This club, organized to promote the
policies of Lincoln and Roosevelt, de-
sires to place before you some of the
reasons why it and every believer in
those policies should support STAN
ton Warburton for Congress. No
voter who is opposed to Mr.. Cannon
as Speaker; no one who believes that
the rules of the House should be
changed by taking from the Speaker
the power to appoint the standing
committees and the rules committee
can consistently vote for either Mr.
McCredie or Mr.. Claypool
Mr.. McCredie is an avowed support
er of Mr.. Cannon, and as he said, be
lieves that the rules are all right"
He has stated his position publicly
and without reservation.
Mr.. Warburton in the most pub
lie manner possible, in all the litera-
ture he has distributed and in all
his public and private utterances has
stated that he will under no circum-
stances support Mr.. Cannon for re-
election as Speaker; that he will do
all he can to amend the rules so as
to take from the Speaker the "enor-
nous power" he has under the rules
by the appointment of the standing
committees. He is in favor of the
House electing it's own committees.
Mr.. Claypool occupies the unevi-
able position of failing and neglect
ing to state where he does stand. He
has apparently studiOusly evaded this
issue. He has not had the candOr to
state publicity his position on these
important matters. The man who
before election fails or neglects to
state his position squarely and posi-
lively on like important questions
usually when he reaches Congress
places himself under the cOnfiding
care of Mr.. Cannon and his machine,
or Mr.. Aldrich and his machine. That
is his natural home.
Mr.. Warburton has always been an
active and consistent advocate of the
Roosevelt policies, fearelss support
er of decent politics, an active enemy
of sordid politics. He served in our
State Senate for eight years and lead
the fight in the Senate against the
notorious and rotten railroad lobby
at Olympia during that period. He
was the first man in this state to
call the attention of the people of
the state to the fact that the railroads
We're paying but a small fraction of
their just proportion of the taxes. He
lead the fight against this abuse. He
has always supported progressive
legislation. His ability is of the first
order, and his integrity unquestioned.
He is always frank in his opinions on
public questions; and you can rely
on this, that he will faithfully and
cOurageOusly carry out any and all
pledges he makes to the people. You
will not find him lodging any issue,
or betraying his trust.
Yours sincerely,

CAN LEAGUE,

practice preliminary to the Carlisle Indian

THe discouraging part % the practice
was that most of the forward passes

work. This quartet consisted of Scott at

most part. the genuine signs were made
by the pitchers though they often
switched and let the catcher make
few signals. The Cub coaches paid no
attention to the pitcher. but kept their
eyes riveted on the catcher. with the
result that they never knew what was
coming off. In the final game Of the

signs, although Chance changed them
every day. There was hardly a time
when they did not know whether the
man on first was bluffing or really
meant to go down to second on the
next ball pitched.
Chicago's efforts at the hit-and run
were laughable Almost every time
they tried it Barry and Collins crossed
them. One of the best illustrations took
place in the fourth inning of the first
days game in Chicago. Tinker began
the inning with a single. and Chance
signaled for the hit-and-run, with
King at the bat. The star catcher be-
lieved that Barry would cover second.
and therefore poked a vicious grounder
to the shortstop spot. Barry. however,
never moved. and Collins went to the
bag. The result was that Barry made
fine pickup and lightning double
play. thereby breaking up a promisin &
Chicago rally.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, October :S.-ln
the recent series in which the Athletics
demonstrated beyond cavil that they form
the most powerful base ball team in the
fast set, they did something more than
outclass the Cubs in batting. fielding and
pitching. In strategy, department OF
the game that most critics believed the
Cubs unsurpassed, the American
Leaguers showed as much margin of su-
periority as they did in mere mechanical
strength. All through the series the Ath-
le:ics knew what was coming, while the
cubs waddled about helplessly. trying to
.athom the Mackmen's intentions.
For instance, the Cubs all along
thought Collins was signing the kind OF
ball that the Athletic pitcher was abouN
to deliver by kicking up the dirt about
him. As a matter of fact this was only
a ruse of the Tarrytown second sacker to
throw the Chicago deep thinkers of the
track. Collins tipped az every bal
