demand his note.
The employee in charge tried to
temporize, offering one excuse and
another. The young man de-
clared that he would bring suit
and started for the door, when the
employee sullenly called him back
and tossed out his note from a fat
bundle hurriedly taken from the
big office safe.
Incidentally, the d. H. Tolman
employee told the young man that
the Times "was getting altogether
too fresh" and was hurting Mr..
Tolman's business.

Alarmed at the publicity given
the methods of loan sharks oper-
ating their contemplate business
in Tacoma, the employees of the
D. H. Tolman office in the Provi-
dent building are making every
effort to fix the victims whose
stories might bring a lot of hard
luck upon the d. H. Tolman en-
terprise.
In yesterdays Times was pub
lished the story of a young man,
clerk, who had borrowed $72;
paid back something over $81 and
from whom the d. II. Tolman
shark outfit was trying to squeeze
the trifling sum of $37 more for
interest
After telling his story to the
Times, this young man was ad-
vised to go up to see the d. H.
Tolman outfit and demand the
return OF his notes, he having al
ready paid back the principle OF
the loan and interest at higher
rate than the law permits.

dications are that Landon will

Falconer and Bryan, progress
sive candidates for congressman
at large, ran about 1000 ahead
OF their ticket here and their
election is generally conceded.
The delay in the count from
Spokane and other eastern coun-
ties has aroused the suspicion of
the democrats and the local head
quarters today sent watchers out
to discover why the returns are
not in.
If Lister runs even with Hay

With 10 precincts to hear from

al vote stands, Warburton, $1O,-
655; johnson, 6,624, giving War
burton 4,O31 of a lead.
But he evidently will need a
lot more. Latest indications are
that johnson has carried Lewis
by 1000; Chehalis, LIZA; Mason,
sc; Cowlitz, 412; Clallam, 250;
Thurston, 600; Waukiakum, so;

him 5,O07 in Southwestern WASH
ington. IL these figures hold out
Warburt0n will have to gain 1860
in the remaining precincts in
Pierce county or an average of SO
votes to a precinct over johnson.
This is pretty big job, but he
will either have to do it or else
cut down the figures In some of
the Southwest or johnson will win
out.
Southwestern Washington is
also pulling Hay up in great shape
and II Lister is beaten it will be
by this vote.
In Pierce with 131 precincts
counted Lister has 9452, Hay
5766 and Hodge 1928.
This gives Lister 1855 over Hay
with II precincts yet to hear
from in the county.
Teats is running ahead In the
county and he has in 131 pre-
cincts 10,055 to 69S1 for Hart, a
plurality for Teats of 3174 in the
county. Southwestern Washing
ton is also playing tricks with
Teats and no one appears to be
safe until that standpat strong
hold is through counting. Collier
had $3.50.
Ed Meath is going to be helped
by the southwest. Meath in 1873
precincts in Pierce county looms
large with 1928 to 1884 for
Cory, progressive, for state treas
urer, a majority for Meath of g.
954 to go on in this county.
Cally Carr seems to be pulling
away from Langlow in the fight
for county treasurer. With 1870

for Langlow.
