Tered at her instead. He said that after
he ran into the girl he stopped the ear
as soon as possible, and jumped out to
help get the young lady from under
meath the car Witness stated that
after the accident he had heard some

more scared than hurt
On cross-examination. the witness

car before the day of the accident. and
he answered that he had.
Dr. James Bernard of Waterville tes-

No" that she thought she was fright
ened more than she was hurt
Several people who saw simpson run

GOV. HAY MEETS
COOL RECEPTION
Attempt to Run Close Politi'
cal Party Is Cause Of
Very Small Meeting

The split in republican ranks was
responsible for the very slight attend
ance at the meeting in the city coun.
Gil room Friday night, and rather q
slight put upon Governor Hay. who
was the speaker OF the evening. Forty
two men, by actual count, we're pres
ent, and Is of them known to be
Roosevelt adherents, and who had
been read out of the governors party
by the boneheads who insist upon
making bolt permanent split in
the, republican party.
One of the numerous blunders of the
Taft adherents. in a blind attempt to
drive everybody into the Taft corral
or off the earth, was the advertising
of the meeting as that of the Taft
club. Had it been advertised as a re-
publican meeting, with the governor
to render an account of his admins
tration, the hall would have been
filed. AS it was, the general public
was not invited, and Governor Hay
met the coolest frost he has encoun-
tered in his canvas of the state.
The governor Is said not to have
taken pains to select language Satur-
day morning in which to describe his
opinion Of the manner in which vot-
ers were being driven from his camp
on Grays Harbor by the absurd effort
to attach his vehicle to Taft's cart.
Governor Hay, notwithstanding the
small audience, gave an interesting
resume of the workings of the state
machinery, that would have been en-
tertaining and interesting to a much
larger audience.

THE PRIMARY
ELECTIONS
Democrats, Republican and
Socialists to Hold Nomi-
mating Elections
MOOSEVELTERS BARRED
Progressive Party Held Pri-
mary Yesterday, and May
Not Participate

The nominating primary elections
for. state and county officers, and five
congressman, will be held tomorrow
throughout the state, and keen in
terest is manifested, owing to the
ginger injected by the formation of
the new Progressive party.
Nominally the primaries tomorrow
are for the Democratic, Republican
and Socialist parties, the Progress
ives having held their primaries last
Saturday. But, the small vote cast
Saturday indicates an unwillingness
to transform what is really repub-
lican bolt into real new party, and
determination of anti-Taft republi-
cans not to lose their voice in the
selection of congressman, state and
county officers, and they will largely
vote tomorrow either the democratic
or republican ticket, from which tick
cts they realize those officials will
be chosen in November, at which
time they may exercise the freedom
of choice on the blanket ballot, a
freedom denied under the partisan
primary law of the state.
Ballot Three Feet Long
The republican ballot for Chehalis
county is slightly short of three feet
long and contains sixty names of can
didates. For the offices Of lieutenant
governor and commissioner of public
lands, there are six candidates and
five candidates respectively. On
these offices the voter must signify a
first and second choice, otherwise his
vote for these offices will not count.
The law requires that the first choice
and second choice be for different
candidates, that is, that no voter
may vote both first and second choice
for the same candidate.
Democratic Ballot Shorter a.
The democratic ballot for Chehalis
county Is twenty-six inches long and
contains 35 names For but one
office is there first and second
choice on the democratic ticket, that
is. for Governor, where seven candi-
dates are running.
The Socialist ballot is twenty inch
es long, and contains twenty-one
names There are no extra names on
the Socialist ballot, several vacan'
cies appearing in the county and but
one candidate running for representa-
tive in the 29th district, where two
are to be elected.
The nOn-partisan judiciary ballot
contains the names of three supreme
judges, all of whom are to be nomin
ated, and three candidates for SUI
perior judge. two of whom are to be
selected at the general election. All
will be nominated in the primaries
Tuesday.
Hard Job Ahead
The officers of election for the com
ing primaries have q hard piece o1
work ahead, as the four sets of ballots
and poll books must be kept, checked
up and entered, which will require
| the longest time and most difficult
work of any election yet held in tht
history of the county.
