$3.50, 900 did not weigh for a moment
and Mead lost little time employing
his law partner one of the receiver
attorneys, although he already had
two other lawyers.
When the daily press of Bellingham
passed into the control Of his friends,
the corporations, Kellogg thought the
pathway to his reelection was per-
fectly clear. When, however, he found
that certain weekly papers OF the
county did not bow the knee to him
and his corporation friends, but on
the contrary support w. H. Pember-
ton, who is his opponent for the office,
he became furious, and within the last
few days has appeared at the offices
of some of these weeklies and at
tempted to- use his authority to pre-
vent their publishing the record which
he has made in that office.
Just think of a superior judge leay-
ing the bench and going to the ed
itors of the small weekly papers OF
this county, clothed with all the dig
nifty and authority of his important
office, and forbiddiug them publish
ing the record he has made while &C.
cupying office, and otherwise attempt
ing to coerce and intimidate them. And
all the time drawing $12 day from
Whatcom County taxpayers.
The only medium left to those who
are supporting Pemberton and oppOs-
ing Kellogg are some of the weekly
publications of Whatcom County,
whom the corporations, with all their
money, can not control, and also by
direct appeal through the agency of

Pemberton an Able
Lawyer
w. II. Pemberton is the law partn II
of Judge jeremiah Neterer, who occu-
pied the superior bench Of Whatcom
County for eight years, and made an
enviable record in the eyes of the peO-
pie; also 1t must be confessed, he
aroused the hostility of the corpora
tions to the extent that they forced
an extra superior judge on the taxpay
ers OF the county, over his protest that
he was able to do all the work.
Pemberton is an excellent attorney
"a man of high standing and is liked
best by those who know him best. II
elected superior Judge of this county,
he will feel it his duty to cOnstrue ne
law as passed by the legislature, rath-
err than attempt to upset the expressed
will of the people, as evidenced by
these laws, and give to every man,
woman and child square deal.
His record has always been oppos
to the idea of corporations and the
forces of vice selecting public officers.
| No better testimonial of his ability
as an attorney can be given than by
the fact that of all the members of the
bar of Whatcom County, Judge Meter
err, when retiring after eight years OF
service on the superior bench, chose
him as his partner
Every person, no matter what his
political affiliations-DemOcr Re-
publican, Socialist or Progressive, has
right to vote on the superior judge
ship. The only opportunity is at the
primary election on September 10.
II you are Progressive and do not
care to vote either of the other three
tickets, it is your duty to go to the
polls and call for a separate judicial
ticket. There are three candidates,
Pemberton, Hardin and Kellogg. If
you believe the people should rule
their own affairs, rather than have
