AT OLYMPIA.

Senator Smithson is another one
of those who "came back" He
was in the house of representatives
back in 1893, and managed to stay
out of the legislature until two
years ago when he returned as a
senator and with full grown
beard. He changed his mind about
the beard since the 1909 session,
but left moustache. If he comes
back again, he may cut out the
moustache, too, or should we say
"cut off,?
But then he's president of a
bank or two In Ellensburg, and Is
in the with the farming and stock
business as well. and runs a hard
ware establishment. So, all things
considered, he can do what he
pleases with his own beard and
moustache.

Charges Against the
Commission Are Filed

will all be printed and attached to
the recall blanks and will then be
placed before the public for sig
natures.
In al the charges the commits
sioners are charged with failure
to demand the enforcement of the
laws against vice, gambling and
blind pigs. 1t Is laid especially
on Roys, however. He is charged
explicitly with having fostered all
forms of public iniquity- and
knowingly permitting gambling,
two places being pointed out at
13051a Pacific avenue and 1929
Pacific avenue,
One of the serious charges
against Lawson is that he permit
ted citizens to steal electric cur
rent without prosecuting them and
when they bored through the met
ers for this purpose, simply sent
men to plug up the holes and let
them go on in their course.
