Kellogg Helps Cor

Kellogg Judge. Why should Kellogg
not name Mead as receiver? what
did it matter if the depositors did sug
gest the name of another? What ala
it matter if they did protest against
Mead's appointment?
Here was an opportunity to repay
Mead for his appointment of Kellogg
and the desires of the depositOrs were
not considered. Will Kellogg remem-
Der the corporations if they re-elect
him, as he remembered Mead, who
appointed him?
Mead is an attorney and is paid out
of the funds belonging to the depos-
itors. He Immediately employed two
other attorneys, and they are being
paid out of the depositOrs' funds. He
went into partnership with another at.
torney and paid him out of the
funds of the depOsitors $3.50
month for services" as long as Kel-
logg presided over Department No.
Kellogg Responsible for Much.
1t has been two years since Belling-
ham voted dry. The result of the vote
has been MATERIALLY AFFECTED
by the holdings of Judge Kellogg, who
seeks reelection November 5.
Kellogg held the law UNCONST1TU-
TIONAL. The supreme court RE-
VERSED him and declared they had
never followed the technical construc-
ton as laid down by Kellogg. The
supreme court also stated that such
a construction would make the law
a FARCE and Bellingham an ABOM-
INATION.-Statev VS.. Jones, &C Wash,
Page 232.
kellogg held that solicitation of or
ders through the newspapers was NOT
A VIOLATION of the law. The su.
preme court held that solicitation
through even a circular letter was
VIOLATION of the law, and that NO
JUDGE would be justified in holding
to the contrary.-State vs.. Holmes, 9,
Wash. Dec. SOP.
The attorney general held that the
B. B. Brewery COULD NOT SELL
within Bellingham. The brewery
management was arrested for VIO-
LATING the law. Kellogg was CIV
en- the attorney generals opinion. He
REVERSED the attorney general and
held the brewery COULD SELL. The
county attorney appealed this case and
it is still pending in the supreme court.
The brewery CONTINUES TO SELL
because of Kellogg's ruling.-Opinions
of Attorney General, 1909-1910, Pages
1912.
In fact, Kellogg's decisions have
been SO frequently reversed that his
record is 21st from the top of the list
of superior court judges of the state.
One-third of his cases in the supreme
court have been reversed.
The people want judge who viii
decide questions put before him on
their merits and according to law, and
does nat permit his decisions to be in
fluenced by his personal desires, o:
by political considerations.
Because of Judge Kellogg's holdings
Bellingham has not been able to give
the local option law fair test. Judge
Kellogg has done more to thwart the
will of the majority than any other
one man. He cannot dodge this. The
record is against him. And much of
the drunkenness in Bellingham MAJ
be attributed to his rulings.
Corporation Wet Forces Are Backing
Kellogg.
The vote III the September primary
shows the corporation wet forces back
of Kellogg. In Sumas, the only wet
unit in the county, he beat Pemberton
nearly two to one, and in all the
known wet precincts he was given
a big vote. The corporation vets evil
IDENTIFY know their man, and the corpo-
ration hackers of Judge Kellogg are
among the leaders of the wet program.
Judge Kellogg resides in South Bell
ingham. The First precinct of the
Sixth ward is the business section of
South Bellingham. In the recent Sep
TENDER primary election many known
partisans Of Judge Kellogg were hand
ed regular partisan ticket (Republi.
can or Democracy, at the bottom of
which was printed the Non-Partisan
Judiciary ticket, and also one of the
separate Non-Partisan judiciary tick.
cts. This enabled them to cast two
votes for Judge Kellogg as his name
appeared on both of them. In this
precinct "plunking" for Kellogg was
a feature of the voting; Kellogg ran
away ahead of Hardin, while there
were fewer votes cast for Pemberton
than there were duplicate tickets. In
short, the vote in this precinct stood
Kellogg, rs; Hardin, GA; Pemberton,
20. The election records on file in the
county auditors office will verify the
foregoing.
Have the corporation dailies deplor.
ed such work? They know all about
it. They know that work of similar
character was done in the Fourth pre-
cinct of the Third ward, where Kellogg
received 1903, to 46 for Pemberton. Do
they glory in this kind of work? These
same dailies are supporting Judge Kel-
logg-and the brewery holds stock in
the dailies. Is the connection appar-
ent? Or is it real? Or is it both?
Just word as to the law bearing on
this kind of work. Section 495S, of
the 1911 Session laws reads as fol.
lows:
IF any person shall vote, or attempt
to vote more than once at any election.
or shall knowingly hand in two or
more tickets together,
such person shall be guilty of gross
and shall be incapable
of voting at any election or holding
any office for two years thereafter"
Section 1880 of the same laws, reals
