Contestants and Nominees.
We are publishing today the first
list of the nominees in the big con-
test. Many more were nominated.
The contest manager was able to get
into communication with quite a
number Of them and got an express
sion of their intentions. Some en-
tered the contest as active candidates
while others declined to enter for
various reasons. The majority de-
clined because there were others in
their neighborhoods who wanted to
enter and they had promised to help
them in their campaign.
The management wants at least
one active representative in each dis
trict, town and neighborhood in
Thurston county. If there is not an
active candidate in your neighbor-
hood, enter the contest today and
get one of the fine prizes that will
be given away on the last day of
the contest.
Following is a list of candidates
who have entered the contest or have
told the contest manager that they
may do so, or for whom votes have
been sent in to the office. Only II
candidates in each district have
shown any activity to date:

DON'T BE DECEIVED.


A business man cannot afford to
give away $25.000.00 II he should is
sue thousand due bills Of the face
value of twenty-five dollars each and
give them to prospective customers
and then actually give each of them
an allowance Of $500 on their pur-
chases. that would be giving away the
amount of $25.O0000. II this was done
one who did not hold q due bill would
have to be charged enough TO make
good the loss. II the price was boosted
to cover the alleged face value Of the
due bill the holders would simply be
baited by q worthless piece Of paper.
We have no outstanding due bills so
our prices are right to everyone.
Don't be fooled by cheap advertising
schemes. They are never gotten up in

TWO STATE DEPARTMENTS CO.
OPERATE To REFUGE
NIMBEE OF INJURIES

In an effort 10 decrease tn" acct
dent rate the industrial insurance
commission and Labor Commissioner
T., W. Olson are cooperating in ar
ganization of mill and factory work
ers for their own protection.
In each mill safety committee"
of three workers will be organized,
10 which the other employees will be
asked to report any defects in ma
chinery or other dangerous cOndi-
tons likely to lead to accidents. The
committee also will investigate con-
ditions on its own initiative and sug-
gest needed changes.
The two departments of the state
will also issue booklet that will con-
tain safety suggestions, directions
for furnishing first aid" treatment
to accident victims and instructions
to be followed in obtaining compen-
sation. The two departments also
have arranged number of warning
placards that will be posted around
dangerous machinery.
Although the industrial insurance
act compensates injured workmen,
the desire of the department is to
prevent accidents so far as this is
possible. A considerable increase in
! the number of accidents is shown by
the second annual report of the in
dustrial insurance commission. The
experience of Germany, under work
mems compensation laws, also shows
an increase in the accident rate.
Statistics compiled by the commits
sion show that less than 3 per cent
of all accidents are attributed to
faulty machinery or lack of mechani-
cal safeguards. The factory inspec-
tors are working to eliminate even
this small percentage of accidents,
but the commission and the labor
commissioner feel that greatest head
way may be made in organizing the
workmen for their own protection.
