Commission Has Never Had an
Intention of Cutting Them
Out Absolutely
PROBLEM OF RACE TRACKS
IS PUT UP TO OWNERS
Horsemen Will Be Given Ample
Opportunity to Contest for
Money If They Are Prepared to
Earn the Purses

There are to be harness horse races
at the state fair this fall. 1t has never
been the intention of the state fair
commission. according to it's presi-
dent DR.. kloeber, to cut out the har.
ness horse races. All that has been
planned is to devise some method of
getting competition for the money Of
fered.
TO attain this end a different system
VIII be followed this year and this
system is one under which Vancouver.
North Yakima, Spokane, Walla Walla
and Boise will work together. 1t 10
the firm belief of those who have
given the subject consideration that
the best interests of horsemen and
public alike will be served by the So
luton of the problem.
Get Better Sport
There will not be so many harness
horse races nor will big money be of
Tered to bring here three or four fast
animals to performe a hippodrome
Tor the purse. Instead sincere eff
tort will be made to get together
fields of slower horses, more evenly
matched and all out for the contest.
The entries will be received until the
llrst OF September SO that horses
which develop late in the year may
nave an opportunity to show them
selves and with the five racing rings
open to them they will have some
chance of going into the game with
a fair hope of making sufficient mon
ey to pay the cost. The fair on the
other hand will get bigger fields, more
entrance money and better sport and
the public, for its part, will have run
for its money.
Two Races Each Day
1--WE will have" said DR.. Kloeber,
in speaking of the situation, "at least
four races and consolation for every
race and we expect that that will in
sure large fields in the main event at
least. That, of itself, gives eight har.
ness races or more than one day for
each day of the fair and we expect
that the plan will give more real sport
in any two days of the fair than we
have had a chance to see for some
time.
by the method we are following,
and which has received the approval
of four other tracks of the northwest,
we merely put the proposition up to
the horsemen. If they want to come
out with their animals under the pro-
posal made to them and are willing
to allow the people who patronize the
various fairs a chance to get run for
their money, why then we will have
harness racing. We are working out
a solution of vexatious question and
we hape we are working good So
luton"

PRESIDENT TAFT
WELCOMES CAMPAIGN

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-President
Taft, speaking with campaign fer

gathering at the annual banquet Of

The president had listened two
hours 10 variety of speeches laud-
ing his administration and attacking
the democrats and began 10 sneak
long after midnight He said he felt
sorry for the scathing which the dem
ocraic presidential possibilities had
received and remarked il was hard
for them to promise things which
they knew nothing about.
In the fall of 1910 he said there
was some reason for the democrats
to believe they might meet success in
1919, but al the present time he COM
pared the party 10 an athletic team
which had spent its force in the mid
die OF the season. He declared even
the 1910 confidence Of the democrat
in ultimate victory in the whole gov
eminent was misplaced. The repuh-
icau party" he said. lis still the re-
publican party, il is not a reactionary
party. Ii never was a reactionary
party. The republican party is the
progressive party, yet adhering 10 the
