SPEAK WORD
FOR LAWSON

Editor Times
Votes of women play an import
ant part in municipal elections In
Tacoma. The women have been
justly given suffrage, and are
taking advantage of 1t. They
want to know-and are entitled
to the Notwithstanding Oh
the home life of men who are be-
fore the voters for their suf-
frages. Nicholas Lawson need
have nothing to conceal on this
score. Mr.. Lawson came to Ia
coma in 1878. In 1897 he lost
his wife by death, she leaving
two Children boy and a girl
for the father to bring up. And
he did this SO well that each is
an honor to him.
The son is in the employ OF
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul railway company, holding a
responsible position, and the girl
is now a young woman. Mr..
Lawson did not re-marry. His
life has been clean in the full
sense of the word. He is a home
man-one for whom women may
cast their votes as a reward for
his faithfulness as husband and
father. Nicholas Lawson would
not think of making such plea
for votes, yet his friends, who
know his worth, deem 1t but fair
that his domestic record he made
public.

they look upon respect for the pop

went beyond this in regard to the

them ut the solicitation Of the hene-

to defend himself, he more than
once accused Congress OF "playing

more sOlemnly pledged to reduce
the cost of living than he was.
The outrages committed against
