A
SOCIALIST FOR
PRESIDENT, 1876
(By United Press Leased Wire)

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec. 10
Charles Edward Russell, socialist
candidate for governor of New York
at the recent election, predicted to-
day that the socialists will be sue
cessful in the national election of
1915, and that socialist president
will occupy the White House after
that year.
1--WE now have two great political
parties" Russell said. Both are
corrupt. One has been on trial for
years, and it has failed and betray-
ed the people. The democratic
party will have it's chance in 1912,
and, believe me, it will make a hor-
rible mess of things. When the peo-
pie realize that both the old parties
have failed to provide panacea for
existing conditions, the socialists
will be given their innings"

sort in the case of a boy.
The big thing with all these pres
ents will be that they come from
Santa Claus. That's what counts
with the kiddies more than the
value of the presents.
Santa Claus is the patron saint of
the children. They believe in him
for years, and there surely was
never a more beautiful belief.
Nothing of sordidness in the Santa
laus game. No expectation of re-
compense for kindnesses done.
Just the beautiful old saint who
goes over the earth spreading hap
piness in his path and leaving the
world better and brighter for his
coming.
And, by the way. have YOU got
ten into this Santa Claus game yet?

STEAMER AGROUND

VANCOUVER, B. c., Dec 49,
Cropping her way in a dense fog

Prince George, Captain Robertson,

The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-12-19

Briefly, F. c. Robertson's criti-
cism was directed toward the fol-
lowing points: That the declara-
ton for direct legislation in the
opening section of the new charter
was a lie, because this right was
later cut off through the right to
pass emergency legislation. He al
luded to the experience of the peo-
pie of the north hill on the sewer
grab and the opinion of Judge Rich
ardson that the right of referen-
dunn was cut off in the new char
ter. He scored the clause that
gave the right to award contracts
without advertising and permitted
at will the purchase of patented
processes for paving or other pur-
poses. He said that it will be lese
majestic to publish anything in the
Official Gazette that reflects on
any official, even if he be found to
be defaulter.
Robertson announced his friend
ship for organized labor and brand
ed the civil service clause in the
proposed charter as aimed to throw
the doors open to the skilled labor
of the world and hold in check the
common labor in the trenches,
which exception is made for the
purpose of building up a political
machine. The civil service clause
was so worded as to aid in the
ousting of a good man or the reten-
ton of a bad one if the powers so
wanted it.

PORTLAND, Dec. 19.-That the

Wash, in the immediate future, is
believed from the fact that negotia-

inent resident of Asotin county.

Councilman Lambert has intro
duced a resolution in the city

and authorizing the board of pub
lie works to go ahead and complete
the hospital, after the contracts
have already been awarded. The
purpose of the Lambert resolution
is to legalize the acts of Arm

in the work would be left in bad

ing company has the contract.
