REPUBLICANS FIGHT
OVER 10 PER CENT
LEVY FOR CAMPAIGN
Candidates, Disgruntled by Hays
Capture of County Committee,
Start Racket.
ALMOST ANOTHER SPLIT.
Governors Men Finally Back
Down on Assessment, Making
It 5 Per Cent.

What came very close to being an
ublican candidates for Thurston
county Offices and the Hay county
central committee forced upon them at
the organization meeting last Satur-
day was gently smoothed over this
week after a few explosions by the
candidates.
The fun started when Billy" Hop
kins, after quietly framing things up
beforehand came down from the cap
itol las. Saturday and upset all the
plans of the candidates by forcing the
election of Dad Sanford as county
chairman and of Bob Kelsey, who
previous to the primaries was con.
nected with the Hay headquarters in
Seattle, as secretary-treasurer.
But the real row started when Hop
kins tried to force 10 per cent. assess
ment of their salaries for the first year
on the candidates to raise fund with
which to carry on the county cam
paign. A howl of protest went up
among the candidates, and the defec
ton even went so far that four of five
of them held a quasi-rump meeting
last Monday night to talk things over
The avowed purpose of the meeting
was to elect chairman and secretary

PRIMARY RETURNS
SHOW LARGE GAINS
FOR THE DEMOCRATS
If Past Experience Is Repeated,
Success Is Sure at Novem-
ber Election.
REPUBLICANS SUFFER LOSS.
Table of Official Returns Indicates
Surprising Growth Of Bour-
bon Vote.

Official returns from the primary
election show decided gains in the
Democratic vote over two years ago
and a remarkable falling off in the
Republican vote. If the history of
the past two primary campaigns in
this state as to the difference between
the vote cast in the primaries and that
cast in the general election, is followed
this year, Democratic success all the
way down the line is assured.
Four and two years ago the DEM
ocrats took little part in the primary
but cast the bulk of their vote in Nov
emter. On the contrary the Rep
ublican primary vote was in both in
stances considerably in excess of that
of the party at the November election.
For example, two years ago in the
congressional fight Republicans cast
about $4,000 votes in the primaries
and about $4,000 votes in the general
election. while the Democrats, casting
but 1000 in the primaries. polled
1900 the following November.

vote for congressman at the primaries
two years ago for both the Democrats
and Republicans, as compared with the
primary vote for congressman this

M'FADDEN AT LAKE KENAI
First Word From Former OiympIan
Comes This Week.

The first word that has been received
from r. N. McFadden, brother OF
Frank McFadden and an old Olympia
boy, since he left for Alaska early
last spring, came this week when Fred
Schomber, for whom he was q deputy
when here, received letter written at
Lake Kenai, Alaska.
In this letter Mr.. McFadden says he
has been prospecting in various parts
of Alaska since May l and has been
in the Lake Kenai neighborhOOd since
July 8. He has several excellent pros
poets in view, he said.
Shortly after his arrival in Alaska
he took a two months trip down the
two lakes to Cooks inlet, and in his
letter he relates some interesting in
cidents of the trip. which was made
in a row boat. He referred par
ticularly to killing "all the moose he
could eat"
Mr.. McFadden was one of the pop
ular men of the city during his resi-
dence here and his many friends will
be glad to receive this word from
him.

been engaged in various enterprises.
from farming to conducting a large
store in Union, in which business he
has ben engaged for many years.
He was born at NOrthfield, Me-,
Feb. 23, 1910, where he attended the
public schools and academy and the
Washington county seminary at Bucks
port. He removed to California in
1862, travelling through the state for
about nine months, when he came to
Puget Sound, located at Port Gamble,
where he engaged in the logging bust
ness until 1865. when he removed to
Union, Mason county. his present
home.
He has always been lifelong Dem
ocrat. though he has frequently voted
for Republicans, considering man and
measures greater than party lines. He
has also always taken an active part
in the politics of his county.
He was a member of the House In
the territorial legislature in 1869. of
the Council in 1870. of the House in
1877, of the Council in 1885, member
of the constitutional convention in
1889 and OF the first legislature of the
state. He was elected to the senate
in 1886, serving through two sessions.
He has also held nearly all of the i'm
portant positions in his county and
was a member of the capitol commits
sion, one of the regents of the state
university, and member of the uni
versity building commission. also
serving as postmaster at Union for
years.
In the first territorial legislature he
was instrumental in obtaining the pas
sage of the first labor law, and in the
first legislature in obtaining the
amendment to this law which made
the supplier equal to the iaborer. He
has always been a strong believer in
woman suffrage, has always helped
that movement at every opportunity
and has always ben counted as one OF
its staunchest friends.
He is making his present campaign
on the need of coed roads in the three
counties comprising his district, the
lack of which is a potent factor In re-
tarding the development of that section
of the state. The present few roads
are bad, making the means OF commu-
nication difiicult; Colonel McReavy
proposes not only to increase the num-
Der of roads but to make them good
roads, and to improve the ores already
in the three counties.
The following table shows the official
returns for the primary nomination
as senator from this district:

LYNCH PRINCIPAL SPEAKER.

In series of four meetings, be-

Thurston county's Democratic candi-
dates for the different county Offices
will start a campaign which is to be
the most energetic that local Demo
Gratis have undertaken for some years.
Under the direction of James

been arranged for next week:

John S. Lynch, candidate for pros
ecuting attorney. upon whom the
largest portion of the burden of the
early part of the campaign will fall,
will be the principal speaker at each
of these meetings. Mr.. Lynch,
though comparatively a newcomer to
Olympia and Thurston county, has
won large number of friends during
his residence here, is an attorney of
recognized ability, an excellent speak
er and hard campaigner. His-pre.
vious practice of the law in Seattle
and in Eastern cities, together with
the knowledge of local conditions he
has gained during his residence here
fit him particularly for the Office OF
prosecuting attorney, as man who
has had broad experience.
While Mr.. Lynch will be the princi-
pal speaker of these meetings, prac-
tically all of the other candidates on
the county ticket also will attend.
signifying a unified, organized and
determined campaign by the DEM
ocrats to reap the advantage of the
opportunity they now possess of carry
ing the county for their ticket this
fall.
Organized as they are, the DEM
ocrats will present a solid, closely
working and cohesive organization to
the divided Republican party, and
this fact, coupled with the rumpus
now in progress in the stand-pat
branch of the Republicans and the
detection of the Progressives makes
the Democrats confident-and most
Republicans afraid-that they will
carry the county this fall.
The full county ticket will be pre-
sented to the voters of each locality
at the different meetings, instead of
making the campaign an individual
one for each candidate. In other
words, each candidate is going down
the line for all the others on the ticket,
with the county organization behind
all the candidates.

From present indications John

be member of the state senate for the
two next succeeding sessions. Mr.
McReavy has had much experience as

leading figure.
Mr.. McReavy was a nominee of the
Democrats of the district comprising

THURSTON COUNTY
STATE TAXES ARE
rs PER CT. HIGHER
Levy for 1912 $82,763, $21, 100
More Than SCI ,573 Collected
for 1911.
HAY CLAIMS PRODUCTION. ,
Figures Show Enormous Increase
in Amount to Be Paid, Though
Per Cent Less.

Property-hOlders in Thurston county
will pay into the state treasury as
their share of the state tax levy for
this year $82,763 or $21,190 more than
they did last year, an increase of near.
ly 25 per cent. This, too. in the face
OF the bland statement of Hay and his
supporting newspapers that the tax
levy for ThurstOn county, as well as
the tax levy for the whole state, is
less than it was year ago.
True. the per cent of the levy is
lower, but the decrease in this did not
keep pace with the larger increases in
the per cent of the assessed valua-
tiOn of property or the valuation
placed on the railroads, electric lines
and telephone companies in the
county. The result is that where,
on the face of things, it may be pos
sible for Hays supporters to deceive
the taxpayers into thinking their taxes
have been reduced, in reality they
have been increased almost 25 per
cent. in Thurston county.
For the 1911 levy Thurston county
paid $61,573 into the state treasury
on total valuation of $11,617,39 as
sessed at SS.49 per cent of its true
value. For this year 1t will have to
pay $S2,763 on a valuation of $14,294.-
296, assessed on the basis of 4343 per
cent. of its true value, or an increase
of practically 5 per cent in the basis
used to determine the assessed valua.
tiOn and an actual increase Of $685..
S99 in the valuation.
For 1911 Thurston county collected
from its steam and electric railways
and it's telephone companies on an
assessed valuation of $3.O30,9O9 for
1912 it will collect from these same
companies on an assessed valuation of
$3.205,718, an increase of $174,809.
Both assessments were made by the
state board of equalization.
In other words, while the per cent.
Of the levy has been slightly reduced,
the reduced per cent figured on the
basis of the greatly increased assessed
valuation of Thurston county proper
ty will compel the taxpayers to pay
25 per cent more this year than they
did last. This particular instance
illustrates how Hays business" ad-
ministration has reduced" the tax
levy, and the same condition is Illus
trated throughout the state.
The apportionment of the levy made
by the state board of equalization, an
nounced this week, is as follows for
