GOVERNOR ROGERS.

The following are extracts from an
editorial published in the Post-InteI.
Iigencer Of Seattle, Nov. 2, 1896. Mr..
Rogers was elected governor the next
day, and it is generally conceded that
he was the best governor this state
ever had:
ITO elect Mr.. Rogers governor
would be to give the state the worst
kind of reputation abroad.
Rogers believes in the right Of the
mob to govern. To men Of
the Rogers type Of deseneracy, soei.
ETY. is all wrong in the restraint it
puts upon individuals, and they are
ready to try any experiment that their
dsordered imagination can suggest.
An aspirant to the office Of
governor may think it entirely prop
err for man to spend his time in talk
ing of political millennium while his
wife does the work, but the great ma
jority Of the people have other ideas.
Mr.. Rogers will find this out when the
votes are counted November 3D.

CLEARING INTERPRETATIONS.
by J. w. COLLINS)

To bolster up the Hay campaign
his administration papers are resort
ing to the most glazing misrepresen-
tations regarding state expenditures.
One of these, the Bellingham Herald,
says editorially that the total cost
of the governor and all his apopintees
to the taxpayers of the state the last
year was but $2,4S5.35, and the en-
penses of the governors office and
those of all his appointees. including
all of the boards and commissions for
the year, amounted to $505, 1900
State Auditor c. w. Clausen, in a
statement for the year ending March
81 last, showed that the cost of the
governors office alone was $22,
and that all the state offices provided
for by the constitution, $312,l34 that
the expenditures for the states educa-
tional institutions aside from those
for detectives, etc, amounted to $685..
S27, and the expenditures by commits.
sions and all other departments were
S2,340,591, making grand total of
$3,646,540, exclusive of insurance paid
under the workmens compensation
act.

The Whatcom County Grange at

1912, by unanimous standing vote,
adopted the following address to
the voters of Whatcom County:
I'VE are on the eve of one of the
most important elections i'll the his
tory of the United States. We
would urge that no voter allow any
thing to prevent the discharge of
the duty of citizenship on Novem-

tional amendments.

No License" in accordance with
our principles.
We urge all good citizens not to
vote for any candidate, however
good in his private life. who is back
and special privilege
We think it safe to advise you
not to vote for any man or any
measure, nor any candidate that is
supported by the Bellingham Her
aid and Reveille, since those pa
pers are the special organs of the
law breaking corporations and of the
vicious elements in our political
life.
In particular, guard the courts and
legislature. Let us elect judges, pro
scouting attorney, and members of
the legislature who will have the
view point of humanity and not of
the dollar.
Beware of the reputation assassin
of the press, Beware of the I'M
principled wretches who prostitute
their brains to become the filth pur-
veyors of big business anarchists.
Such newspapers are unworthy of
being admitted to any decent home.

juggled those figures, probably calcu.
lating from the total expenditures for
salaries and office expenses and pur-
posely leaving out the extravaganza
disbursements made by the different
commissions and other heads of de-
partments for the institutions under
their control. These are the expendi-
lures that pile up the burden which
the taxpayers complain Of Take the
board of managers of the state re.
formatory, for instance. That board
expended $166,519 in the most extrav.
agant manner. Aside from this, the
expenditures for the state penitenti.
airy amounted to $14S,S73. So it goes
on through the entire list of the state
institutions.
To ask those who make accusation
OF extravaganza to produce proof OF
specific items of waste and then as.
sumo that failure to do so is evidence
that no such proof can be offered is
silly in the face OF the fact that a
continuation of the present rate Of
expenditures will bankrupt the state
in fact, has already brought it TO
the verge of bankruptcy.

Corporation Forces Backing Kellogg.
The vote in the September primary
shows that the organized forces OF
greed and privilege are supporting
Kellogg.
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 a regular partisan ticket (Republl-
can or Democrat, 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, 10; Hardin, Ga; Pcmberton,
%. 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.
Section 1853, of the 1911 Session
Laws. reads as follows:
eff 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
misdemeanor and shall be incapable
of voting at any election or holding
any office for two years thereafter.
Section 1860 of the same laws, reads
as follows:
IF any inspector or Judge of any
such election shall knowingly permit
any elector to cast a second vote At
any such election, such
inspector or Judge of election shall DC
guilty of felony and be incapable OF
holding any office in this state for
five years thereafter"
Has Kellogg called a grand jury to
investigate this? No. Why?
Vote for Pemberton and Hardin.
The name of W. H. Pemberton, the
only man opposing Kellogg, is the last
name on the bottom of the ballot.
His record as lawyer and citi-
zen is well and favorably known to
all He stands for right things and
right policies. If elected he will
administer the law as he finds 1t,
and give every person or corpora
ton that comes before him square
deal.
W. II. Pemberton has been in ac
tive practice in Whatcom County for
the last ten years. For several years
he was in partnership with Charles
\. Sather and for the last five years
years has been in partnership in the
practice of law with Jeremiah NetereT.
who was judge of the superior court
of this county for eight years.
Mr.. Pemberton has never held a
public office. and is supported by the
common people for this position.
