uouncemcut OF the candidacy Of Frank
o. Lowden OF oregon. H.. FOR the re-
publican nomination for governor in
1916 may be expected at any time now,
according 20 his friends here.
While in Washington during the
winter Colonel Lowden canvassed the
situation with respect to the support
he might anticipate from republican
congressman through the state. He
found practically all Of them favorable
10 his candidacy. He then decided TO
get into the race.
Accordingly. he perfected an organ
ization throughout the state and put
workers in every county with the eN-
pectation Of making his announcement
some time early next year, when IL
would be followed by such evidence OF
strength as 20 scare of other candi-
dates. The candidacy OF Frank L.
Smith OF Dwight. however. may serve
20 make Colonel Lowden issue some
statement with respect TO his own am
bitions earlier than he expected.

EDMONDS, JUNE 81
Poverty, Its Cause and Cure
Will Be Subject of illus
trated Lecture.

Armed with eighty thought.com-
pelling stereopticon views illustrating
the evolution of mans tools Of pro-
duction and distribution from the pre-
historic stone AK to the mighty ma
chinery of today, Comrade Maynard
Shipley will appear in the Union
theatre of Edmonds, June 81, at D.
m, and endeavor to make clear to the
people of Richmond precinct the
causes of poverty and the reasons
why horrible wars devastate the
prodigal earth.
Judging from what the comrades of
this precinct have already seen and
heard OF Editor Shipley's platform
work. there will be little chance of
any intelligent person leaving the the
atre on the evening Of June 81 with
out being not only well entertained
but CONVINCED as to what are the
causes and cure OF poverty, rs also
of wars. Tell your neighbors about
this very important meeting,

LOCAL MARCUS ACTIVE.
INITIATE IMPORTANT MEASURE

Marcus, Wash, June Z, 1915.
At the meeting of Local Marcus held
June there were fifteen non-Socialist
visitors in attendance. This goes to
show the interest the local is stirring
up in the neighborhood. Two appli-
cants were admitted to membership
A proposition to amend Art. VIII Of
the state constitution was discussed,
and committee of three will report
on this matter for action at the next
meeting. 1t is proposed to change the
constitution SO that the delegates to
the next state convention shall repre-
I sent counties instead of locals, the
number Of delegates would be reduced
to about one-third the present num-
Der. thus saving the state organization
large sum that could be used for
other purposes.
One argument in favor of the pro-
posed change, is that the proposed
change would be on the same basis as
the legislature |. e., one or more dele
gates from each county. We believe
here that there would be about as
much sense in having a representative
in the legislature from each precinct
as there is in having delegate to our
convention from each organized pre-
cinct
The matter will be initiated by the
local, and the membership should give
this matter their consideration as it
is an important matter.
