Times Political News of
Tacoma and Pierce Co.

Congressman Stanton Warbur-
ton of Tacoma was one of the men
who helped to pass the wool tariff
bill yesterday over the veto OF
President Taft.
Warburton has shown himself
to be one of the most independent
men in congress. Sneered at by
old Joe Cannon republicans whose
highest conception of serving the
people was to vote with Uncle
Joe," he has stood by the people
on every occasion when he had to
go against his party to do it.
Warburton was one of 81 re-
publicans yesterday who voted
with the democrats to lower the
tariff on wool, thus giving the
people cheaper clothing. He has
stood for free sugar too, and never
hesitated to vote his convictions
without asking the party bosses.
There is fun in store now. The
socialists have finally completed
arrangements for that debate with
Orville Billings. Bruce Rogers,
their candidate for attorney gen.
eral will tackle the Tacoma stand
patter at Moose hall August 81.
The question was written by Bill
hgs and is: THAT the remedy Of
fered by the socialist party in it's
national platform is not remedy
for existing evils, but on the con-
trary, IL the cooperative common
wealth Is established 1t will result
In abject slavery and the complete
destruction of civilization"
Billings says IL he cannot wipe
any socialist on earth off the map
in 10 minutes he will quit the
race for governor, for he says in
that event he would prove that he
was not fit for 1t.
