Governor Hay was defeated for re
election by a narrow plurality. In the
language of the LaFollette man, who
did it?" That question is easily an
swered: 1t was not the Call, nor all
the balance of the Progressive papers
of the state. No. 1t was none other
than the despised Post-Intelligencer
The fight which that paper made on
Bob Hodge caused many in the Pro.
gressive party to think Hodge unfit for
the Office of governor and sufficient
number of them went to Lister, there
by forcing his vote above that of Hay.
Otherwise Hay would have been elect
ed along with all the balance Of the
Republican ticket. An i'll wind some
times blows good and this was GER
tainly one of the times. We tip our
hat to the P.-I., and while we hate it
as we hate poison. we concede that it
has done this state great service.

In state so strongly. Progressive it
was not at all surprising that a Dem
ocratic governor was elected. Ernest
Lister is known throughout the state
as a progressive, his every connection
with public affairs having proven him
a capable, broad and efficient man. His
service to the state during the admin
istration of the late John r. Rogers
was test of his ability. and his serv-
ice as business man IN the upbuild-
ing Of his home town has given him
the confidence of the business men Of
the whole state. The result of the
vote shows conclusively that his abil-
ity was known to the business men
who supported him regardless of party
men who would not vote for Hay,
and who could not afford to support
the candidate of the Progressive party
With this confidence and support be-
hind him, Governor Lister will 60
down in history as Washington's best
governor.

 THE CAT WON

The cat came back. Of that there Is no doubt. And It came back strong. Now the question is can Archie come back? It's sad story. full of pain and full of scratches of sadness and human nature Archie Grant loves cats. and cats love Ar chic Grant, but the best friends quar- rel. And literally speaking. the cat picked fight. Not only that it also picked several large pieces of flesh from Archie's face. and closed one of the piced ones eyes Here are the details. piece by piece as they came off the once human face of poor little Archie.
 Archie was asleep. Now Archie is a restless sleeper. and evidently rose up in bed Nearby lay old mother cat. with her brood of kittens Archie must have raised up in bed and in the darkness those big orbs of his looked to the eat like the headlight on the Panama Valley Linn ited She feared that the train might be derailed if it struck her kittens. and as it might also hurt the kittens she jumped at it. But the howl that Archie let out. while it assured the cat that it wasn't train evidently left her with the i'm pression that it was something worse. and so she started to claw, to dig, mained of the almost human face of Archie Grant
 Grant fought brayely. First he used the bedclothes as weapon. then chair that was handy With su- preme effort he made a lunge at the cat and hit the-- atmosphere. for mamma eat had departed via the window.
 But the eat came back in a day or two. The jury has not yet reached a verdict. Whether it was temporary insanity. assault with intent to kill. or defence of ones property. it is hard to say Anyway the cat still lives. Oh, yes, so does Archie Grant. But not as much of Grant as does of the cat Figuratively speaking, of course.
