The big contest is now going into
the third week and the active candi-
dates are busy lining up their support
for the battle of votes. Many of the
candidates are making an active can
vass among their friends, while 9TH
ers are lining up friends in a cam
paign to help them win. the big prizes.
So far none of the contestants have
done very much in the way of secur-
ing subscriptions for most OF the ac-
tive work that has been done to
date is of the organizing kind and
that is the kind that will win the big
prizes.
Olympia itself is very poorly repre-
sented, only one active candidate hav-
ing appeared up to the time of go
ing to press, but there is no doubt
that more than that will enter the
race before 1t is very many days old
er. The rural routes out of Olympia
are we'll represented. however. nearly
every route having candidate.
More Prizes Than Candidates
Several of the towns in district No.
2 have no active candidate in the
contest yet and that in spite OF the
fact that every town will get prize.
Eleven prizes have been announced
for district No. 2 and only four can
didates have entered the race from
towns in that district. Every town
in the county will get prize for the
candidate entering.
Never before has a contest been
started in territory the size of this
with the guarantee that a prize will
be given to every active candidate in
the contest. This is q chance for
some OF the active ones in district
No. to get busy and with q little
effort ON their part get fine prize
for themselves at the close of the
contest. We also have several more
prizes for district No. than We have
fact Of the matter
is that so far the contest MANAGEMENT
has provided eight more prizes than
there are candidates In. the contest.

bad food was canned meat and fish.

of course, means a hard and bitter

SOME CONTEST ON
FOR LOCAL OFFICE
JAMES DOHERTY AND f. G.
BLAKESLEE WOULD EACH
BE POSTMASTER

"Tempus fugit" is the old high
school saying and with its "fugitirg,"
as Sam Blythe would say, the expira-
tion of w. T. Cavanaugh's term as
the local postmaster gets nearer anal
nearer, heightening the interest -
among Democrats at least in the
question Of his successor.
Just now there are two men "who
would be king" in local postal affairs.
One of them is James Doherty. who
has the endorsement of the party
organization, and the other Flank q.
Blakeslee, whom the Wilson-Marshall
club recently endorsed. And the
friends of one talk back to the
friends of the other in such an ear
nest fashion that if you should hap
pen to get one crowd talking into one
ear and the other crowd spelling
into the other, you'd be hearing
about the same thing.
Here's q Taste of t.
Mr.. Doherty's friends insist he has
q "walk-over" inasmuch as he has
the unanimous endorsement of the
county central committee, obtained
at duly and regularly called meet
ing attended by more than majority
Of the members, and Mr.. Blakesless's s
friends smile and look "wise'' and
call your attention to one James D.
Blakeslee, fourth assistant postmas-
ter general and cousin or near rela-
tive Of the local aspirant. and the
support of the eWilson-Marshall club.
So there you are--after you've listen
I ed to either side very long you'll be
convinced that the other one hasn't
any show at all.
Mr.. Doherty's friends, in their es-
pousal of his candidacy. don't stop
with the endorsement, just mention-
led. but proceed to call your attention
to the further fact that their candi-
date has the endorsement Of p. M.
Troy, the state committeeman for
Thurston county, also OF the Demo
cratic State Central committee and
OF the national committeeman, John
M. Pattison. In fact, they urge that
inasmuch as he is endorsed by every
portion of the party organization and
j is also endorsed by large number OF
i prominent citisens Of the community
taken in connection with his Ions
party service and hts exemplary
qualities as citizen, he has Q

Aha! A Mysterious Stranger
But Mr.. Blakeslee's friends, while
keeping the fact Of their candidate's
relationship to the fourth assistant
postmaster general clearly before
your vision, don't make light of the
endorsement Of the Wilson Marshal
club. which has been carrying OF
