A FINE HERD

About 110 strikebreakers from Ia
coma came here to load a lumber ship,
They were housed in the Bay View
hotel The Cooks and Walters in that
hostelry refused to serve them, so the
herders were compelled to take them
to a mill bull pen for their feed. If
there are any disinterested citizens in
Everett, they should size up this
bunch. They would make "fine" citi-
zens. Some of them would look better
in the stripes they once wore.

Thomas n. Swale, who was elected
to the last Legislature and unseated by
the reactionary gang of conspirators
who controlled that body, and who is
now a candidate for representative on
the republican ticket, has shown the
white feather. During Swale's candi-
dacy two years ago he claimed ad-
vocacy of the interests of all the peo-
and proposes to become the repre-
sentative of a part of the people and
an enemy to the rest. He allowed the
open shop mill bosses to pull the wool
over his eyes. If this is not true, it is
up to Swale to show that it is not.

KILLS BEST IN
DIRECT PRIMARY
Referendum Measure No. S, or
Whitney Election Bill, Against
Popular Government
BY JAMES E. BRADFORD


This is known as "Whitney's Cau-
Gus Convention Bill" and will, in eff
feet, kill all the best things in the
direct primary system, because:
CD 1t restores the old caucus and
convention systems, controlled by
ambitious candidates, ward heelers,
bosses and other vicious manipulatOrs,
who in turn are supported and paid
out of "slush funds" furnished by pub
lie service corporations and other
agencies of special privilege and graft.
swear that, if nominated, he will not
withdraw unless the party committee
and political machine permit him;
that he accept the party platform as
made by the "hand-picked" party con-
vention, which grows out of the May
caucus and county conventions. This
will prevent Withdrawals, and good
men on different tickets from uniting
to defeat a bad man on some other
ticket; under this law party machines,
bossism and all the train of evils that
usually follow them will flourish like
the green bay trees.
60 1t puts in the "hand-picked"
party committee the supreme power
of the political dictator and boss.
(4) By nasty and vicious Joker
in section of the bill, the right to
paste or write in names on your ballot
will be taken away, and this will pre-
vent the voters from combining on an
independent candidate.
60 The real purpose and intent of
the entire act is to build up, stronger
than ever, the old Tammany party
idea. and to stem or destroy the rising
tide of -partisanship. 1t will turn
the hands of progress back many
years. The Independent votes is in
creasing by leaps and bounds-the
tendency is towards Independent
thinking and it's full and free express
sion. The people of this state, sew
eral years ago. adopted the basic non
partisan idea, and we still use it in
every school and port district in the
state; our entire judicial system, in
cludng the Superior and Supreme
Court judges, is under it, and the cities
and towns, including all the big cities,
have adopted it. This measure strikes
a fatal blow at the very heart of non
craftsmanship and independence in poll
tics. 1t will bring back from the po-
litical junk heap the rusty old party
machine" the party rings" bosses, ;,
ward heelers" and the "slush funds
contributed by vested interests and
other special privileged grabbers, and
all the political evils and crimes of a
Tammany domination and sway. If
Won don't want all these CHASTITY relics
snatched from the tomb of the past,
then register and go to work. Every
honest and patriotic citizen should
vote" against this measure.

APPARENTLY
"RAILROADED"

All OF you have heard of the dyna
mite explosion On Market street, San
Francisco, during that city's prepared
ness day parade. Four men and one
woman are accused of completely in
that tragic affair.
On September 23 the first of the
four to be tried-Warren K. Billings,
past president of the San Francisco
Boot and Shoe Workers-was found
guilty.
This was in spite of the fact that
the usual labor conspiracy evidence
was ruled out of order by the court.
After that, we thought that the evi-
dence would be listened to. That was
all we wanted. We proved by eye
witnesses, supported by actual photo
graphic evidence, that our men were
far from the scene of the explosion
and could have had nothing to do with
it. The prosecutions own witnesses
helped us, by swearing to have seen
Billings in THREE DIFFERENT
PLACES AT THE SAME TINE, and
the states star witness, a known dope
fiend, was confronted on the stand by
four men to whom he had boasted of
the money he expected to receive as
the result of his testimony.
I'VE confidently thought that to
have thus proven our man innocent
would settle the case. And it went to
the jury. The whole city, having
watched the flimsy prosecution in the
newspapers, expected an acquittal as
a mere matter of course.
But we have had to wake up from
that dream of Justice This is a case
of the labor unions in the hands of
their enemies. And a professional
jury, composed of courthouse hangers
on-the only kind we were allowed to
have-has convicted Warren X. Bill
lings
After the conviction, we discovered
TWO EYE-WITNESSES TO THE
BOMB EXPLOSION that the district
attorney had hidden until it was too
late. One of these had been fooled
into thinking he was to testify, and
the other had been SHIPPED OUT
OF TOWN BY THE POLICE Be
CAUSE HE HAD SEEN AND
TALKED TO THE MAN WHO SET
OFF THE BOMB, and KNEW THAT
IT WAS NOT WARREN K. Bill
INGS."
The International Workers Defense
Leage asks financial aid to save Bill
lings and the four other defendants
from professional jury murder
If any or all the defendants charged
with the explosion of dynamite during
the preparedness parade in San Fran
cisco be found guilty, after fair trial
the death penalty should be inflicted,
but if there is conspiracy to railroad
these persons, though they are accused
Of an atrocious crime, every effort
should be made to save them.
The appeal for aid is signed by

By Persistent Work
Opens Good Mine

Some two years ago when William
Scheele discovered several gold mug
gets while digging a post hole on his
ranch in the upper end OF Carson val
ley and his subsequent mining ven
ture. he was not given much encour-
agement by neighbors and friends
Undaunted he kept at work and final
ly transferred his operations from
the preliminary work at his ranch to
the mountain short distance away,
He worked on the old theory that
the gold had been carried to the low
er ground by washes of ages and was
successful in uncovering a ledge OF
gold-bearing quartz. This week a
mining man was here from LoveloCk
and took bond on the property TOR
$4,000 and expects to develop the
property, work to start i'll the very
near future.-RecOrd-C Ourier.
