SHELTON, Wash, Dec.
ON. Clarence Newman,
county clerk of Kitsap coun-
ty, who shot and killed his
stepfather Christmas follow
ing a quarrel, is today exon
Grated by corOner's jury.
The jury established the
fact that Newman shot in
self-defense.
w. C. Newman, 80 years old
of Port Orchard, county clerk OF
Kitsap county, while here on a
visit with his mother and sister
shot and killed his stepfather,
John Davis, Go years old, follow
ing q quarrel over money mat
ters Christmas night about 10
o. clock.
Newman surrendered to the au-
thorities and although partially
cleared by a coroner's jury, who
found he shot in self-defense, is
held in the Mason county jail
for a hearing today before SUI
perior Judge Mitchell the COM
hitting magistrate.
Mr.. and Mrs. Davis and New
man and several friends had spent
the afternoon pleasantly and the
three returned to the Davis home
for dinner.
In the evening while the three
were talking Newman drew for
them a sketch of the new house
he is building at Port Orchard
Mrs. Davis left the room for a
minute and during her brief alb
sence Davis made demand on
Newman for payment of an old
debt. Newman explained that he
could not pay the money, and the
old man then demanded that he
sign a note. This Newman says
he refused to do, as he had moth
ing to secure it's payment.
While they were arguing, the
old man went into his room and
came back with a rifle. Newman
went after his mother to see if
she couldn't quiet Davis. She
tried, but without avail, and FIN
ally she told Newman that he had
better leave the house as his
presence only increased the old
mans anger. With his mother,
Newman then stepped out on the
porch which runs around the
house. Davis came through an
other door and encountered them.
Davis fired one shot at New
man, when the latter threw him
self upon Newman, graphing for
the rifle. Davis was a large man,
almost six feet tall and built in
proportion. Newman is much
smaller.
With one hand Newman strove
to keep the muzzle of the old
mans weapon pointing to the
ceiling while he drew his own re-
volver. Finally he got the re-
volver out and fired three times
into the old man. Davis dropped
dead on the floor.

The Large Stay-at-HOme Vote.

After studying the recent election
returns, Mr.. Ellis Usher, close OBJ
server, concludes that apparently Mr..
Wilson's Landslide" is fairly illus
trated in Wisconsin. AS far as we hay e
dependable figures they indicate a light
vote and the result, due entirely to the
division of the Republican party, ap-
pears to be the most overwhelmingly
minority choice in the history of presi-
Dental elections. The political history
of Wisconsin for the last twelve years
has been that of the increasing domi-
nance of steadily decreasing minority
of our voting population. 1t has at last
spread to the nation and reached to the
presidency.
Wisconsin is casting a steadily di-
minishing proportion of her whole vote,
though her population steadily in
creaSeS.
The recent election shows falling
off in the total vote, as compared with
1908, of 57,245.
The total vote is smaller by 1887
and smaller by Is, 838 than when Parker
was the Democratic candidate, in 1904.
Cleveland got 1876 more votes in
loSOHOAI HI 4OCGs aSWCiACy y CoAO oSOt
than Wilson got on Nov. 5.
Bryan has twice, in 1896 and in 1908,
polled more votes in Wisconsin than
Wilson received.
Senator La Toilette has never polled
as many votes as Gov. Scofield received
in 1896.
When the primary law was adopted
in Wisconsin,, although it had been an
issue for three years, but 30, 1871 votes
were cast, and only 100, 500 votes were
in it's favor, which was about one-fourth
of the active voters of the state at that
time. Only once since have as many
votes been registered at a statewide
primary.
The male population of Wisconsin of
II years and over, according to the
census of 1910, was 683, 743. Two years
have since elapsed, so 100000 would
not be too large number to reckon on
today. Making 20 per cent discount
from this number for stay-at-home and
non-voters of all kinds, which used to
be the rule of political figuring, there
should have been $50, 900 votes polled
at the recent election. The stay-at-
homes, therefore, aggregated abont
1913, 900, number almost equal to Mr..
Wilson's total vote, which is about 80
per cent of the proper voting popuia-
ton of the state.
