NEWSPAPERMAN SEEKS RE
ELECTION.

Editor Frank p Goss of the Seattle
Saturday Review is out for reelection
from his district to the state, Legislature.
MIR. Goss took an active part in the last
session and was the author of several
important measures, among the most
prominent of which were bill abolishing
capital punishment. He secured the pas
sage of H. b, 201, giving to the state
the power of eminent domain in the
acquisition Of sites for state institutions,
He was the author of the resolution call
ing for an investigation of the National
Guard of this state and served as a mem
ber of the joint investigating committee
The legislative report issued by the joint
Legislative committee credits him with
four absences on roll calls taken as a
test of progressivism In justice to Mr.
Goss it should be stated that he was
absent from Olympia on Legislative com
mittee work during those four roll calls
but voted right on all the others.
Mr. Goss worked and voted consistent
ly with the progressive element of tn
house and has clean record upon whicl
to appeal to the voters OF the fifty-fiftl
Legislative district for reelection.

COMMITTEE
GETS TO WORK
JOINT COMMITTEES FROM
TWO CENTRAL BODIES ARE
BUSILY PREPARING FOR
LABOR DAY-UNIONS ARE
URGED TO COOPERATE.

With meeting of the general Labor
Day committee last Sunday morning
preparations for the proper observance
of the holiday were gotten well under
way. A program for the day was out
lined and various sub committees were
appointed. From now on there will be
continual activity among those delegated
to handle the events. A tentative pro-
gram adopted provides for big indus
trial parade in the morning, with music
sports and Labor Day address at Rob
bins park. A grand ball in the evening
will wind up the day.
The general committee will meet in
the Labor Temple every Sunday morn
ing and will gladly welcome any sug-
gestions. AS plans are worked out in
detail they will be published in the Labor
Journal from week to week.
The parade will be made distinctive
feature. The most lasting impression of
the strength of organized labor resulting
from Labor Day celebration is the
sight of the columns of marching men
and women. Some little hesitancy has
been manifested this year about this
feature, but it is the sense of the great
majority of unions reporting to the COun-
ell that the parade should be held.
Owing to the fact that some unions
have suffered falling off in member
ship owing to slack labor demand, the
union men should feel it all the more
necessary that none should leave the
city on that day or fail to join the
parade.
The general committee representing
jointly the Trades Council and Building
Trades Council is composed as follows:
w. L. Williston, typographical chair
man; M. T. Altman, BARRIERS, secretary;
+. p. Marsh, shingle weavers, treasurer;
+. A. Francois, plumbers; Thos Cooley,
teamsters; Mrs. Theo. Zeigler and Mrs.
E. A. Francois, Label League; F. G. Wag-
ner, musicians; Bert Webster, stage
workers; +. A. Robbins, carpenters;
VIM. Shallenberger, plasterers; f. f.
Merryfield, painters; F. G. Cuffin, build
ing laborers.
R. j. Olinger has been selected to act
as grand marshal of the day.

EVERETT PEOPLE OUT FOR
OFFICE.

Everett is not at all backward, thank
you, in the race for state and congress
sional offices. Perry Niles would like to
be state land commissioner and is sour
rying hither and yon about the state in
the search for votes. Alec Falconer has
babe defiance to the standpatters and
will run for congressmanra at large on a
progressive platform. Robt. McMurchie
can't see anything but a democratic
landslide this year and expects to be
among the first of the hordes of Viii
sonites dumped into the halls of con-
gress. He will run for congressman at
large. Judge Black is reported to be
consulting the Oracle with an eye on
Hays Olympia residence. If that gentle
insistence gets clamorous enough we
may hear from the popular jurist in
connection with the gubernatorial con
test.
The party of the proletariat has three
Everett aspirants for state office. Anns
A. Maley, until lately editor of the Com
monwealth, is making a ate-wide cam
paign for governor. 1t would be stretch
ing point to say she really expected to
land winner but she is making a thor
ough speaking campaign and is spread
ing the socialist propaganda in every
part of the state. Frans Bostrom, state
secretary of the party, is a candidate fol
secretary of state and G. Wagenecht
assistant state secretary, is candidate
for congressman.
Everett is on the political map in big
letters.

RETAIL CLERKS
DROP GAME
THE SMOKESTACKERs FIELD
AND BAT LIKE WILD MEN
sANDsPITTERS WILL OF.
FER THEMSELVES FOR SAC
RIFICE SUNDAY.

Three weeks ago the Retail Clerks
might have made the Smokestackers
hard to catch but last Sunday-no
chance. In the first inning the Clerks
showed over a run before you could bat
an eye and things looked squally for the
Everetts. But with two on Giddings
and two came over. After that it was
a procession with the Smokestackers
leading and the gap between them wild
ening all the time.
Consider the dope minute. Stevens
is credited with thirteen strikeouts and
two passes. That makes over half the
putouts to Stevens credit as the Smoke
stackers were only eight innings at bat.
Yet here's what happened: Twelve hits
were garnered off his delivery, including
two homeruns and three three baggers.
And Stevens had everything plenty of
smoke, curves breaking good, and con-
troll. Which means that the Smokestack
ers at last are a crew of sluggers that
can hit the pill. If they can maui Stew
ems all over the lot they can make that
smile fade away from Paddy Welsh's
countenance if he ever faces them again.
Welts was the batting star of the day
with homerun, a three Dagger, single
and walk in four times up His homer
went true as bullet over Rube Roberts
sign on the center field fence. Rube
streaked it for home after the game to
get the ledger out of the safe and bal
ance up his accounts for the day. That
homer cost him five spot.
Singleton pitched his old steady game
and was given grand support. We said
something last week about an ''air-tight
infield." That still goes only we arise
to offer an amendment that the outfield
be also given special mention. Everett
never had better team outside of the
league days and the fans who are stay
ing away are robbing themselves of a
treat and the team and manager of de-
served support.
The Clerks played better game than
the dope would indicate. They held the
Smokestackers scoreless for four innings
and against less formidable lineup
would have made stronger showing.
Manager Edney is game. He admits
that he was up against the strongest
team of the season and that his players
were off color. He is confident that
return game would prove a much closer
contest. Knowing exactly what he
would have to face he is in much better
position to doctor the weak spots than
he was before. Would like to see Healy
give them another go before the close of
the season.
Mukilteo comes next Sunday. Twill
be time of sweet rr-revenge. Mukil-
teo's obituary is already written and the
Smokestackers will aid in the last sad
rites-perhaps.
Here's the tabulated story of last Sum
days game;
Runs-Everett z, Clerks 1; hits-Ev-
erett IL, Clerks 6; errors-Everett 2,
clerks 6; three base hits-Welts, Strong,
Giddings homeruns Ladd; stol-
en- bases-Welts, Strong, Giddings, We
borg t2); bases on balis-off Single
ton 1, off Stevens q; struck out-by
Singleton Z, by Stevens 13; double play
Martin to Levin; time of game so;
umpire, Weborg.

deem Landon led the movement for a
special session and when Governor Hay
refused to call the session he got busy
laying wires for control of the conven-
tion. 1t was largely through Landon's
tact and diplomacy that the Roosevelt
and La Toilette forces joined hands
against the Taft forces in this state.
Landon is not an eleventh hour pro-
gressive as he insurged when insurging
was blamed unpopular and has been in
surging ever since. He possesses mag
netic personality and as he meets the
voters of this district he will make many
warm friends.
1t would be distinct gain to Wash
ington to have a man of Landon's stamp
representing the voters in congress i'm

1t is exquisite in color and texture:
it drapes as readily as soft bread
cloth; being made up Of tiny SKINS,
it is available alike for minute bits
of trimming, for sets of every style
and size, and for the largest of fur
garments; it works readily into COM
bination schemes with other furs or
with velvet and chiffon, and it is so
costly as to defy any attempt to place
it in the class with common" furs
In place of the sharply contrasted
black and white fox sets which an.
peared last winter there are now be
ing shown sets of smoked fox and
white fOX-a skin of each for the
scarf and another pair for the muff
Once in while the grayish fox with
a pink tone known a few years ago
as rose fox but simply called dyed
fox this year is seen. This is particu'
larly beautiful with white costumes.
A direct result of the vogue for
gray is the revival of squirrel. It Is
not every woman who can afford
moleskin and gray fox. and as gray
furs are imperative a good substitute
is necessary-hence the renewed
popularity of the inexpensive squirrel
Now when squirrel has been in h"-'
fore this, too often it has appea"
in rather ugly guise. This year TO-

those whose purses will permit of in
diligence in this regal and costly fur.
Tailless or pure white ermine is first
choice, and some of the most distinc-
tive sets introduced this winter are
made of tailless ermine-as pictured

ADAPTATION OF THE PANNIER
"Pegtop" Skirt Cannot Be Considered
a Novelty, and Many Will Even
Deny Its Gracefulness.

1t Is now some time since the pan.
nier skirt was heralded with loud
blast of trumpets In fact, it has been
with US long. enough for it to become
necessary to give it a new name, and
consequently we are now presented
with the pegtop skirt and asked to
consider it q novelty AS a matter
Of fact, the pegtop skirt is nothing
but an adaptation Of the pannier.
Whether it is pretty one or not
must be decided by each for herself.
It would probably be more becoming
to the average woman If she were a
clothes pole.
However, it has come among US.
and certainly its most successful ex-
amples are those of day gowns, or
at any rate short skirts; for In a
trailing dress the width Of the upper
part Of the skirt, with its caught.up
fullness. is in ludicrous contrast with
the attenuated, meandering train. One
Of the strangest forms of pegtop skirt
is that which is caught up in front
with great bullying mass of fullness
hanging over the place where it is
caught up. This is certainly not be.
coming nor pretty; 1t is even scarcely
seemly.
