clothes were torn in a half dozen
places. Fifty yards down the
street he saw Coppleheim leap
into a taxicab, which drove swift
ly away toward the capitol. IL
Coppleheim could gain Its shelter
before the vote came on, the gates
would be closed on him; he saw
the whole plot now. He looked
round in desperation; the only
other vehicle In sight was a BUTCH
er's cart, the horse hitched to a
post near by.
Hadley unhitched the animal,
leaped upon the seat, and whip
ped out furiously. He heard
shouts behind him and the roar
of a gathering mob, but drove
on at top speed, needless, so long
as he could catch Copplehein.
He gained on him, pressed him
closely; the taxicab made a turn
for a side street, and the vehicles
collided, overturning upon the
ground. Next moment the crowd
had closed in, and Hadley and
Coppleheim were pulled from be-
meath the debris.

Hadley as they sat together in a

Warburton


Congressman Warburton is down in Southwest
ern Washington this week.
Reports are that he is getting rousing receptions
everywhere. The Southwest feels that Warburton
is the first real congressman the people have had.
This was shown in the republican primaries. After
he had withdrawn from the ticket the people insisted
on voting for him anyway, and in such wideawake
counties as Clark he defeated Albert johnson even
when not running. The people insisted on Warbur-
ton and repudiated Johnson despite party ties
With such situation the hopelessness of the
johnson campaign is apparent to everyone. If john
cannot carry the far southwest when Warburton
is not running where is he going to get any strengths
Are Tacomans going to turn down Tacoma
congressman to get an Aberdeen standpatter con-
trolled by the Aberdeen lumber mills7
The idea is ridiculous.
johnson is the tool of the Fordneys and their
ELK.
Warburton already has made a reputation. He
is recognized as man of ability at Washington. He
stands for free sugar for the people, and his progress
give votes on every proposition that came up
brought him the hearty commendation of the people
not only of his district, but of the whole nation.
Southwest Washington is going to keep him
there. 1t is not going back to the Joe Cannon
regime.
Warburten is man. He absolutely opposes
legislation by He refused and will refuse t.
be bound in his vote by any caucus. He is going TO
represent the people, not political faction.
That is why the people with him and why
they voted for him against johnson in the primaries
even after he had pulled off the republican ticket

FOLLOW MY LEADER.
BY Harold Carter.

Hadley, of the reform party,
and Coppleheim, who represented
the interests" were the best OF
friends outside the walls of the
state legislature. But the best
of friends fall out in times OF
stress; particularly when there is
the prospect of an even vote upon
a bill to prohibit bookmaking
The session was well-nigh over,
and, after many days of debate,
it was expected that the bill would
come up~for the vote that after
noon. Wherefore they loafed dis
consolately in the Hobbies, along
with as many representatives as
either side could muster.
They eyed one another askance
for several moments.

murmured.
mo sneaking back to vote -
said Had1ey,, suspiciously.
My dear fellow, what do you
take me for?" said Coppleheim,
in injured tones.
Half an hour later the friends
entered the grounds together.
They walked down arm In arm,
they took adjacent seats.
The sun shone warmly, the ex-
element OF the bookmaking bill
had been forgotten in the contest
for the pepnant Hadley relaxed
into condition of dreamy con-
tent.
"Coppleheim," he murmured,
through half-shut eyes, politics
is no game for a man. l tell you,
Coppleheim, I wish l was out of
