pers shall prepare an affidavit on or

tober of each year, showing the list
OF subscribers of the stock, bond hold
ers and mortgages, and publish such
list in it's first issue thereafter
Newspapers of Whatcom County
have complied with this law gener-
ally. The Bellingham daily newspa-
pers, however. have not filed their
affidavit, neither have they published
list of their stock holders. They fur
Their claim they will not do so.
Why Hide Their Identity?
Why is it that these newspapers OBJ
ject so seriously to permitting the
public to know who holds the stock
of the corporation, publishing the
same and wlfully and deliberately
violate the law rather than disclose
the identity of the corporations and
individuals who purchased the daily
newspapers. The public has a legal
right to know who the stockholders
Of these dailies are that are so in
sistent upon retaining Kellogg as
Judge, and the reasons why they want
him so badly.
Should you listen to a law violator
when he tells you to vote for the
judge he wants.
Think of it. These newspapers,
that are so anxious that the people
elect John A. Kellogg, are wilfull and
deliberate law violators. They have
been notified to comply with the law.
and deliberately refuse to do so.
Want Their Judge Elected.
The corporations have not only
bought the Bellingham daily newspa'
pers, but have their agents in the
smaller towns of the county, and
these agents are doing all that they
can to re-elect Judge Kellogg. 1t is
not necessary for US to name these in
diyiduals, because their work identi-
flies them
The daily newspapers of Bellingham
say that if Kellogg is not reelected,
the Superior Court will fail to be non
partisan. There is no foundation to
this claim. Non-partisan to them
means, however, that you should elect
their judge.
The oustine Of Hartford.
Victor Berger, the socialist con
gresham. instituted the impeachment
proceedings against Judge Hanford.
The insurgent Republicans of the ma
tional legislature and the Democrats
assisted in the investigation of Han
ford's record. The whole country
seemed to be pleased when this IN
vestgation resulted in Hanford res
ignation. C. w. Howard testified in
the Hanford investigation that Han
ford was a good judge. Upon Han
ford resigning. Howard was appointed
to fill the vacancy. Again your rep
resentatives in the senate refused 10
confirm the appointment OF Howard
because of his known corporation
connection In order that he might
serve as Judge. President Tart reap
pointed him, and Howard is now serv-
ing during the vacation. Inc ques-
ton of his confirmation will come PC
fore the next senate.
The same corporation influences De
hind Howard and Hanford caused the
appointment of Kellogg, ana are no"
ciamoring for his reelection. II your
renrasantatiyes and senators were JUS
titled in making the fight against
Hanford and against Howard, you Ger
tainly cannot consistently vote LOT
John A. kellogg for reelection to the
sunerior bench when you know MS
record and the corporation influences
supporting him.
Judge Kellogg is opposed to the re-
call Of judges. Pemberton iaVors tnt
recall of judges. Kellogg THINKS INA
a Judge should be independent. ne
certainly was independent when ne
nnno;nted Albert E. Mead receiver o!
the Home Security Savings Bank over
the protests of the depositors. Mead
had appointed Kellogg judge kellogs
annoints Mead receiver. If Kellogg IS
reelected through the forces PENN"
him will he remember them as ne
remembered Mead?
