George A. Lee, chairman of the
public service commission, has just re-
turned from King county. where he
investigated wreck which occurred
in that county in which an automobile
was struck by a railraad train. He
says that it is surprising that there are
not more collisions between automo-
biles and trains, and that some meas
ures should be taken to compel auto
mobile drivers to be more careful. He
stood at the railroad crossing where the
accident occurred for an hour, and saw
numbers of machines dash across the
tracks without slackening speed OF
looking to see if train was approach
ing. He also reports that some ma
chimes crossed the track without heed
ing the warnings Of the hagman, and
paying no attention to his signals.

w. III. Ford

w. H. Ford, candidate for secretary
of state on the progressive ticket, is a
native of Missouri. He was born in
Springfield, of that state, in 1861, and
when only three years old crossed the
plains with his parents to Montana.
When eight years old he went into the
saddle as a cowboy, and at twelve was
a member of the Rangers. He has
seen his portion Of the Indian deprc-
nations on the frontier, but he took
time in those exciting days to gain a
thorough education. After leaving
college he studied law.
Mr.. Ford is a resident Of Arlington,
in Snohomish county, and is serving as
mayor of his home city. In the re-
cent progressive primaries he received
eighty-fve per cent of the vote of his
county and city, which testifes to the
regard in which his neighbors hold
him.

In 1909 Senator Falconer served
his first session in the state senate.
With untiring energy he prosecuted
committee work, and was recognized
authority on the subject of revenue
and taxation. He was chairman OF the
revenue and taxation committee. 1t
was probably in the session of 1911 he
did his best work. AS chairman of
the committee of appropriation he was
a close student of the needs of the
state institutions. Much progressive
Legislation was taken up during that
session. Having been on the COM
mission to draft workingmen's COM
pensation act, he made a comprehen-
sive study of the German and English
systems, and helped to produce bill
conceded to be superior to any in the
United States. He defended it on the
floor of the senate against substitutes
and amendments, and the bill as final
ly enacted has proven boon to en-
ployer and employee alike.
Senator Falconer was called upon
and took charge of the floor work on
the initiative and referendum bills in
the senate, and is an earnest advocate
of the passage of these amendments to
the constitution in the coming Nov
ember election.
In presenting Senator Falconer to
the voters of the state for the position
of congressman-at-large, his friends
believe that review of his legislative
work warrants the declaration that he
has thoroughly established a record
distinctively progressive. He is be-
lever in and supporter of Theodore
Roosevelt.
Senator Falconer is 43 years of age.
He was born in 1869 in Ontario,
moved to Saugatuck, Michigan, at the
age Of years; lived on farm in the
fruit belt OF Allegan county until 18
years of age, when he moved to Wash
burn, Wisconsin, where he was en-
ployed by the Bigelow Lumber Com
pany. He spent four years in Beloit
College and Academy, and then came
in 1894 to Everett, where he has since
resided, engaged for some years in the
manufanture of shingles, and later in
the business OF buying and selling tim
Der lands.

ingtOn-BiOgraphiCaI Sketches

J. A. Falconer, Progressive candid
ate for congress, was elected to the
house Of representatives at Olympia in
1904 and served in the session Of
1905. Those who recall his first term
remember the persistent fight he
waged for state depository bill, pro-
viding interest on all state money de-
posted in banks. The result of his
labors in that session bore fruit in the
session of 1907 He was reelected
and served in the session of 1907, and
was unanimously elected speaker OF
the house, and it is conceded that a
better organized and working body of
men never served the state in a legis-
lative capacity.

c. C. Teats, was lawyer and at one
time Judge OF the county court. At

In 1890, Mr.. Teats moved to Ia
coma, where he has resided ever
since. In 1892 he took the side Of
labor in the Peoples party movement,
stumped the State during those edu-
cational campaigns, in season and out
of season, until 1896. The fusion of
the peoples and democratic parties
ended reform.
Mr.. Teats then prepared himself to
90 into the courts and have the courts
modify as much as possible the harsh
rule OF fellow servant, assumption of
risk and contributory negligence He
became an expert in the courts on the
law Of negligence and soon became
recognized as one of the leading attor-
neys and authority in such cases. 1t
was a hard battle the first year. He
received many non-suits and on sew
eral occasions was required to mort
gage his home to obtain money to ap-
peal the cases of the poor injured peo-
pie, to the Supreme court, where he
met with remarkable success. Through
this fight he was successful in having
the courts modify their rules Of law as
to fellow-servant and assumption of
risk; so much so that the harshness of
the rules was overcome almost entirely
by the late decisions of the courts of
our state and United States courts in
this circuit.
In August, 1910, the time being
ripe for the agitation of a compensation
act, he went into that fight and was
persuaded by his friends to go to the
legislature for the purpose of passing
compensation law which would give
compensation to all injured industrial
workers. He was elected by an over
whelming majority, introduced the
Compensation act, known as the Teats'
house bill No. IA, and fought for the
bill through the entire session. He
wants that law changed giving first
aid provision with state industrial hos
hitals where the best care can be given
the injured and sick industrial workers.
He also fathered the initiative, referen-
dunn and recall, and. but for his efforts
those measures would not be up be-
fore the people at this next election.

The members of the grange. union
labor and farmers union persuaded him
to run for lieutenant-governor, knowing
that he could be of more service there
than as a member OF the house.
In our recent primary, Mr.. Teats re-
ceived every vote in his home pre-
cinct, an overwhelming vote in his
ward and county. He carried nearly
every county in the state, because the
people believe in him.
