Tacoma Is at the Puyallup fair

Every car that went out, was
loaded to the doors and the citi-
gems showed disposition to make
the day a hummer.
All the politicians were on hand
and the fair grounds will be COW
cred with candidates cards before
night One of the features of the
day was car load of young re-
pubhcans from Tacoma who went
over to boost for Warburton and
start his campaign for congress.
Tacoma day is generally one of
the big days at the fair and this
year promises to eclipse all others.
Good Attendance.
Despite the dampness yesterday
there was a good attendance and
q fine show. There was some
lively racing and plenty of sport.
The fraternal societies had the
caad for the day and fine parade
was given, the Modern Woodmen
taking the s25 prize for having
the most men in line, with 1877 in
the procession.
The Red Men took the prize for

really conservation. Ex-President
Roosevelt, President Taft and Jas.

method as the most advanced of
the century, and the only one by
