WILSON TO WIN,
AYERS COLLIER
Democratic Nominee for Lieut..
Governor Returns From
Trip East
PROSPECTS ARE GOOD
Well Known Poultry Man Of
Tacoma to Judge De-
partment Here

Harry H. Collier, democratic nomi
nee for lieutenant governor, and one
of the best known poultry judges in
the Northwest is in the city, and will
occupy the remainder of his time this
week in judging the excellent poultry
exhibit at the Chehalis County fair
Praises State Poultry.
Il attended the national convention
OF the American poultry association
at Nashville, Tennessee in August
This organization makes the standard
of perfection by which all pure bred
poultry is judged. We had an ex
cellent meeting at Nashville, there
being 80 states to answer roll call.
am a member of the executive com.
mittee, there being nine members in
America and through that committee
! met greater portion of the dele
gates. The poultry industry is on
the up grade all over the country
but in the eastern and middle west
the season was so late this year that
most of the pOultrymen were very
late in getting out their matches. II
the poultrymen would go east from
the state of Washington and enter
their birds at the early winter shows
they could make a record this year
that would give Washington a name
for early matured poultry that would
bring q lot of people to this state
Washington, especially on Puget
Sound and the Grays Harbor country
has an early season for poultry every
year and II We would advertise that
fact back east we could sell a lot
Of birds for the early shows. The
way to get that reputation would be
to go to the Chicago early midwest
shows and demonstrate what we can
do when it came to getting out early
birds.
"E. c. Branch, the famous Missouri
poultry Judge placed the awards at
the Washington state fair. We had
the largest exhibit ever held on the
state fair grounds and the birds show
ed up well. Speaking of the birds,
Mr.. Branch says he never expected
to see the birds so we'll matured and
ten fall fairs before coming to the
coast and in no show had he seen
SO well matured birds.
Tennessee Politics Warm
'While at Nashville l did not fail
to talk little politics. l found Ten
nessee in a chaotic condition when it
came to politics. There is no doubt
but what Woodrow Wilson would
carry Tennessee but it is a question
whether the democrats will elect
their governor. Governor Hooper,
who is republican, stands good
show of succeeding himself. The Ii
quOr question has torn parties asun
der. The republicans and democrats
as well as Bull Moose" followers
are badly split on the question. Ten
nessee is supposed to be prohibition
state and it is against the state law
to grant a liquor license, yet Nash
vile saloons are as wide open as they
are here in Aberdeen and the officers
Of the law make no pretense of clos
ing them up. | was told that the
same condition existed in Chattanooga
Knoxville and Memphis. In fact, all
of the cities and small towns disre
gard the law as if it were not on the
statutes.
Wilson Sure Winner
