Washington will probably be
the first state in the Union to
abolish party lines in the election
of state and county officers.
The bill, which will be one of the
first to be introduced in the next
legislature, which convenes on
January 13, is being drawn by
Thomas F. Murphine, Seattle pro-
gressive, who is undoubtedly the
best posted man on election laws
In this state.
1t is receiving the pledges of
support of all progressives and
enough democrats and republic
ans in the legislature to insure
its-passage, at least as to its main
features.
There are several progressive
legislators who, while favoring
the non-partisan idea in general,
are hesitating on its application
to the gubernatoial and legisla-
tive offices. The argument urged
is that the legislature elects U. S.
senators, and the governor is
sometimes called upon to appoint
designations and deaths
But Murphine offsets this OBJ
lection by pressing the Oregon
system of electing senator's, which
provides for the pledging of
members of the legislature to
elect the man who receives the
highest popular vote, regardless
of party affiliations. This would
eliminate the necessity of party
lines IN the election of legisla-
lures. --..--.-. -...,.

members for the Tacoma society
in one week.
Mrs. Abbie Danforth declared
there is no need for work all the
time. She said she chased a man
two blocks up the hills in Ia
coma yesterday and stopped him
from beating a horse.
The keynote of the morning
session was that there should be
an organization in every local
community in the state.
This afternoon the legislative
program is being taken up.

HOLD MINISTER
ON BAD CHARGE

(By United Press Leased Wire }
WATHALL, Miss, Nov. 30.--A
strong guard was thrown around
the jail here today for the proter-
ton of Rev. A. N. Nix, charged
with having attempted to assault
a nine-year-old girl, a member of
his Sunday school class.
Nix, who posed as a "sancu-
fed preacher" asserts that he
merely spanked the child. Feel
ing runs high against the prisoner
and threats of lynching are free
ly made.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1912-11-30

phine to the Times today, "it
would be far more satisfactory to
have governor, elected on a
non-partisan election, appoint a
U. S. senator in case of vacancy
than to have a partisan COVER
nor make a partisan choice,
which might be directly contrary
to the real party sentiment of
the state. Take Washington,
for example, today. The COVER
nor-elect is democrat. He is
the only state official who was
elected as a democrat. The state
cannot be claimed in any sense
to be a democratic state. 1t was
one of-the few that gave an over
whelming vote for Roosevelt
against Wilson. Yet Gov. Lister
would name a democrat as u. S.
senator if he had the opportuni-
ty. AS a matter of fact, there
fore, there is as much reason,
because of this senatorship ques-
tion, to urge non-partisanship in
the selection of a governor as to
oppose it for that reason"
