Now, he asked himself, what could
1t be? What threatened her? And
why?
He dimly promised himself the
pleasure OF her acquaintance, relying
in the rapid intimacy that springs up
between strangers on a long voyage,
with a still more indefinite intention
of putting himself at her service in
any cause that she might be pleased
to name; Professionally: she must not
interfere with his plans for reaching

race track can be built in Priest Point

next step would be the construction of

results, but are they not important?
These are some of the reasons why

TWELVE GOOD REASONS,

Why should you vote for Governor
Wilson? Here are twelve good rea
sons:
He is the only candidate for presi
dent who represents the real, the vital
and the effective progressive forces in
this country.
He stands for tariff revision down
ward in the interest of lower prices
and the elimination of monopoly.
He stands for trust legislation which
will prevent the control of prices
through any sort of monopoly
He stands for the income tax and
believes that wealth should share the
burdens as we'll as the blessings of gov
eminent
He stands for the rights of labor and
the protection of the man who earns
his bread by the sweat of his brow, as
shown in his record as governor OF
New Jersey.
merchant marine, and for the govern
ment encouragement of agriculture, in
dustrial and vocational education.
He trusts the people and believes
that the governed should govern; and
that senators should be chosen by the
people.
He faithfully performs in Office the
promises made out of Office.
He will "clean house" at Washington
as he has cleaned house" in New
Jersey.
He breaches and practices clean pol
itics, and practices 1t effectively. He
unalterably opposes machine politics
and the rule of the bosses.
He stands for legitimate big busin

THE COUNTY FAIR.

Three propositions are now before
the people of Olympia and Thurston
county for the establishment of a
county fair. The sentiment seems to
be overwhelmingly in favor of coun-
ty fair, as it should be, though there
is a remarkable division of opinion
over the methods to be employed in
obtaining it.
The greatest opposition, locally at
, least, seems to be against the purchase
of the Carlyon tract. THE WASH
| INGToN STANDARD has taken the liberty
this week of presenting the other side
of the question, the other two alter
| natives that might be used. We have
done it because we believe that the true
newspaper will present all sides of a
question such as this.
The STANDARD believes heartily in
the need for county fair and the ben
efits to be derived therefrom, but the
STANDARD does not believe that Thur
ton county will not have a county fair
If it does not buy the CarlyOn track,
as has been argued. In fact, the STAND
ARD doubts the advisability of the
| county making so large an initial in
vestment in something whose outcome,
while probably favorable, is neverthe-
less problematical. Knowing the ex-
perience of other cities on similar
propositions, 1t is easily seen that as
much again will have to be invested
in short order in buildings and other
improvements to transform the Carly
on tract into proper place to hold a
county fair.
Why not, then, reduce the initial in
vestment to minimum and apply the
amount it is proposed to expend for
the purchase of the Crlyon tract to

GOVERNOR LISTER.

The nomination of Ernest Lister OF
Tacoma as the Democratic candidate
for governor gives at even this late
date the Democrats the opportunity OF
electing WaShngton'S governor this
fall that they were cheated out of by
the nomination of Judge Black. Lis
ter's selection Immediately revived
the dropping spirits of the Democrats
throughout the state and in addition
gave those numerous Republicans who
are dissatisfied with Governor Hay an
opportunity to vote for a real man, a
capable man and a business man and
not for a Bob Hodge.
That Lister will be elected is as as
sured as anything can be in the pres
ent involved political situation. The
great dissatisfaction with Hay is seen
in the light vote cast for him at the re-
cent primaries, about $4,000, as com
pared with the Republican vote of four
years ago. when $4,000 votes were
pOlled and when the women did not
vote.
Hodge is going to poll surprising
vote, just as surprising as was the vote
for him in the Progressive primaries.
He is not going to poll enough to be
elected, but he will take away from
Hay the long-standing Republican ma
Jority in this state, splitting it with
him with the probabilities that Hodges
vote will be larger than Hays.
| The result of this split will be that
the most capable men of all the three
whose election otherwise would be
more doubtful if the old Republican
organization in the state were in pow
err, undoubtedly will be the next gov
ernor of Washington. In other years
J no matter how good man he might
be, the Democratic nominee stood nc
show; in this, with a man like Lister
at the head of the ticket, with the old
Republican majority split, with state
wide dissatisfaction with Hay prevail
ent and with strong Progressive sen
timent, the Democrats election is q
practical certainty.
| Lister goes before the people of this
state with no affiliations with such
political crooks as Perkins or Wilson
with whom Hay is hopelessly tied up
| for there are none in the Democratic
party. He goes before the people with
a record of efficiency as chairman OF
the state beard of control that no Re
publican successor has been able &c
equal. He goes before them as sue
cessful business man, clean and honest
in the conduct of his own business
clean and honest in the conduct of the
states business when he was chairman
of the state board of control and clean
and honest in his primary campaign.
He will make capital governor, a
| governor who will not give the state
an administration that can be dubbed
by the Wall Street Journal as the most
glazing example of waste in the United
States, but an administration that will
be real business administration
minus the stripe of political cattle with
whom Hay is associated.
