democrats or the state OF Washing
ton, in enthusiastic convention at
North Yakima last Tuesday, worked
harmoniously in plans for the COM
ing campaign, adopted a platform
strongly praising the administrations
of President Wilson and Governor
Lister, named Hugh Wallace national
committeeman for this state, and
elected delegates to the national con-
vention at st. Louis.
It was Wilson and Lister all the
way through. There were rumors
and near rumors that some opposi-
ton might develop against the gov
ernor, but no one could be found
who would admit it and the dele
gates finally decided that the rumors
emanated from those outside the
convention who were naturally anx-
ious to have something happen"
When the governor took the plat
form in response to call for a
speech the delegates leaped to their
feet and gave round after round of
applause and as he tore into the is
sues in state and nation he was fire.
quently stopped by repeated cheers.
Governor Announces Candidacy.
In concluding his remarks the gov
hn
would be a candidate for renomina-
ton and election this fall, but that II
the Democrats Of Washington chose
some other Democrat to be their
standard-bearer, he would take of his
coat and strive with might and main
to elect him.
The largest delegation that has at
tended a Washington state conven-
ton in 20 years worked harmonious
ly throughout, the only real ripple Of
excitement being when George F.
Cotterill and Charles A. Reynolds,
on behalf of King county, attempted
to stampede the convention to Jud-
son Shorett for national committee
man. The King county delegation
was by no means unanimous and az
q matter of fact did not expect to
break in on the lineup for Hugh C.
Wallace of Pierce, whose friends had
lined up practically the whole con-
vention to back him. As soon as the
vote was announced the incident was
practically forgotten and the dele
gates hurried on to the next order OF
business.
The question of endorsing the non
partisan idea for state. county and
municipal offices, which was expected
to cause a lively fight on the floor OF
the convention, did not materialize,
for the word was quickly passed af-
ter the caucus of the Pierce county
delegation that Governor Lister had
suggested that, inasmuch as the non
partisan idea was not properly a par
tisan measure, no mention of II
should be made in the party platform
and that several members of the Non
partisan League had urged that the
league did not want the endorse
ment of any party. Nonpartisanship

NORTHERN PACIFIC
TO ADJUST RATES
mo INTENTION OF SLIGHTIN0
OLYMPIA" GENERAL FREIGHT
AGENT SAYS.

Responding to the communication
addressed to his compeny last week
by Frank M. Kenney on behalf OF
the Chamber of Commerce, H. Il.
Still, general western freight agent
OF the Northern Pacific railway, this
week gave assurances that proper
adjustment of freight rates would
be made, stating that his company
certainly had no intention of slight
ing Olympia in any way
The correspondence arose when
the Chamber of Commerce, after an
Investigation, discovered that rates
on local freight in and out of the
city are higher in several classifica-
tions and commodities than those
operating as to other Puget Sound
cities. 1t instructed Mr.. Kenney to
present the situation to the North
ern Pacific. as the pioneer railroad
In the city, upon whose tariffs the
Union Pacific based it's rates whom
its new line was recently opened into
this city.
Urges Immediate Action.
Replying to Mr.. Stills letter, Mr..
Kenney suggested that Immediate
steps be taken to put the class rates
in the proper shape" adding that,
"as every days delay operates
against us, we would request that
the class rates be made effective
now and the other commodity rates
be adjusted later.''
I'VE certainly had no intention OF
sighting Olympia in any way" Mr..
Stills letter says. "and will give care
full consideration to your criticisms
with view to making any adjust
ment which may be proper. and win
advise you later a. to conclusions
re6ched."
Public Service Board Favorable.
Answering this. Mr. Kenney wrote:
I'VE can obtain the permission of
the public service commission for
the immediate installation Of class
rates. as this is . matter that can
be passed upon very quickly, ana
therefore hope to receive word with
in . day or two that steps are being
taken accordingly"
When the rates on local freight
are adjusted satisfactorily. the Cham
Der of Commerce. plans to take up
with the railroads the removal OF
the present differential Of from $50
to $40 per car on Eastern freight
now charged local merchants. Great
er difficulty is anticipated In obtains
ing the re-adjustment Of this feature
of local freight charges, and It may
be necessary for the Chamber to pre-
sent the situation to the interstate
commerce commission before obtain
ing the desired reductions.

MITS REPORT-PRAISES CITY
CLERK HOAGE.

The practice of the city of Olympia
IN loaning itself some $4,000 from
,ts bond sinking fund. by which 1t
.saves some $3.50 a year on per
cent warrants. is scored by the state
bureau Of inspection in its report Of
,ta annual examination of the city
onaces, Just completed at cost of
s2O4.7O. The city officials, however,
figure the city is ahead considerable
money each year by this system and
will not discontinue 1t.
City Clerk w. A. Hoage's manage
ment of his Office is highly commend
ed by the report, as the conduct Of
the Offices Of police justice and chief
Of police, by the former Ofiicials.
Judge Milton Giles and Ben F. Hall
respectively. are roundly scored.
Hoage "Competent Ofiicial."
"All of the records and files are
very we'll and satisfactorily kept"
the report says with regard to the
city clerks ONCE, adding that "Mr.
Hoage is an intelligent, courteous
and competent official. and the peo-
pie of Olympia are to be congratu-
lated upon having q city clerk of his
ability. He is administering the af-
fairs of his Office in an efficient and
commendable manner"
The city's floating Indebtedness to-
tails $s0.431.S9. the report says, or
317,743.S2 more than its legal debt
limit Of IN per cent of the present
valuation Of $s.s2e.731. by which it
issectitled to floating debt Of $49,-

cess indebtedness. however, u the
312,631.26 which has been advanced
from the sinking fund to retire out
standing expense fund warrants, so
that the actual excess Of indebted
ness above the legal limit is approx
imately $500. The floating debt
has been reduced $6,170.34 during
the past year.
Park Board Commended.
The members Of the park board,
the report says. appear to be admin
istering the affairs in a very COM
mendable manner" The issuance
last year Of $7,323.11 in current ex-
pense fund warrants to cover ex-
penditures in connection with the
purchase Of the municipal water sys-
tenn, was criticised as clearly ille-
GAL" on the ground that the acquire
ment Of the system was not manda-
tory. and that. as the city has ex-
ceded its debt limit, mo warrants
can legally be issued except for man
datory purposes"
Local improvement funds were not
checked by the examiner, but Mr..
Hoage expects to do this work dur
ing the summer. The fact that the
city has no contract, with the local
banks "for the payment Of interest
on average daily balances. as ex-
pressly provided by the laws of the
state" is again cited. The of1cials,
in replying, state that neither bank
will pay interest on the city deposits.

COL. HOUSE NAMED
AS CAMPAIGN ISSUE
Candidate Hughes Objects to His
Invisible Government"

Omaha, Neb.. Oct. 17.-Charles E.
Hughes in a speech here last night in
troduced Colonel E. M. House, con-
fidant and unofficial emissary Of
President Wilson, to the American
people as a campaign issues. and in
discussing his activities endeavored to
turn back upon the president the
charge made by Mr.. Wilson in ad-
dresses at Shadow Lawn and else
where that the success Of the re-
| publican party would mean that 'tn-
| visible government" would rule the
| United States.
| II desire government through two
| houses and not three" was the way
| Mr.. Hughes brought Colonel House
into the campaign. The alIusion
caused, first, laughter, and then sus-
| tanned applause. Mr.. Hughes assert
ed that the democratic administra-
! ton had been one of "mysterious in
f1uences" and unofficial spokesme en- -
| which did not. in his mind, square
with the best interest of the people.

which was taken by his hearers as

president that the election Of Hughes
would mean the return of the Old
Guard political leaders to power in
way harmful to the country and
warning to these Old Guard lead
ers that they need expect no favors
at his hands.
He was surprised and amused, Mr..
Hughes said, at the character of
some of the assertions made by the
dem ocratic administration in it's eff
fort to discredit him and retain it's
grip on the country's government.
No 'Invisib1e Government"
For example," he went on. cit is
now said in substance that my cleo
ton would result in installing in
visible government What a prepos-
ferrous suggestion! I came into public
life as the opponent Of invisible gov
eminent long before this administra-
ton was thought of. The fact that I
was an opponent of invisible govern
ment in the state of New York when
I had the honor to hold the execu-
tive place there. there will be no in
visible government in the United
States if I have the honor to hold
the position of president

which, he said, had always remained

Wilson Given Greater Reception.
While Mr.. Hughes received no such
demonstration as President Wilson
did upon his recent visit here, there
were at least 200 people in the
streets to welcome him upon his ar
rival, and the Auditorium. the same
hall in which the president spoke,
was filled to overlooking. It was es-
timated that 5000 people heard his
address. Republican leaders called
attention to the fact that when Mr.
Wilson was here the city was cele-
hrating the fiftieth anniversary of
the admission Of the state to the
Union, and there were at least $780,
600 visitors in the CITY.
Mr.. Hughes was twenty minutes
late in arriving at the hall. and the
other speakers found it difficult to
fold the crowd in check. The nom
lnee and his wife were greeted with
a tWo-mnute demonstration. IT had
| heen reported that Mr.. Hughes would
i ne heCkled and that a large part of
| the audience would prove unfriendly

to him, but no such spirit developed
in any large measure. The great
crowd was attentive and cordial.
In his address Mr.. Hughes alleged
that the administration misrepresent
ed the situation when it said that it
had unshackled business. He charged
also that by the passing of the Adam
son eight-hour law, which would
mean higher freight rates, the admin
istration had brought forward again
"our dear old bosom companion,
whom we can't lose, the high cost
of living"
IF you think the railroad is going
to pay you have got another guess
coming" he shouted.
Shortly after Mr. Hughes began to
speak a wire holding several big
electric lights broke, and the lamps
tumbled into the audience. There
was an interruption Of about two
minutes, and then Mr.. Hughes said:
II hope that nothing else will drop
unless we drop it."
