Do you understand about the

choice votes for candidates for
senator, for congress, for COVER

ANSWER
IS LIAR
By A. v. Fawcett

The morning paper says Mr..
johnson, my opponent for con-
gress, made the statement in his
speech last night, that | have
slides running in Grays Harbor
picture shows showing my pic
ture with the inscription beneath:
Put Tacoma on the Map" his
idea in making the statement oe-
ing to show l would be against
the rest of the district and only
for Tacoma.
In making such assertion I
want to say as strong as words
can express 1t that Mr.. Johnson
has stamped himself as a plain,
unvarnished and premediated
liar.
Every slide I have running in
picture theaters was made at
SCOTS studio in this city and
every one of them reads: THE
Third District Should Be on the
apM; Fawcett VIII Put 1t There"
Speaking OF Crowds.
Mr.. Johnson knows this per-
fectly well and his statement is
simply a part of his campaign of
Misrepresentation to try to de-
ceive the voters and arouse pre-
JUDGE against me to cover up his
own weakness and inefficiency.
His whole campaign in this
county has been, according to the
papers backing him, one Of mis-
representation. AA
We have read OF his starting
through the county with a great
send-off with rs automobiles
loaded with boosters on trip to
Eatonville. Alder and Elbe and
Morton, and his great 20-minute
speeches to great cheering, en-
thusiastic crowds.
The fact is, so | am informed
by witnesses, there was just one
automobile with Mr.. Johnson. his

most savage things he had ever
said about hyphenates and the
foreign policy of President Will
son, specifically mentioning the
German-American alliance by
name. the Lusitania affair, the
killing of Edith Cavell, the in
vasion of Belgium. and the "mur-
ders' in Mexico.
The speech contains 10000
words-all words on subjects not
alluded to by Charles II. Hughes
on his western trip.
The success of Hughes de-
ponds on the extent to which
he gets the Roosevelt fol-
lowing.
Roosevelt could have beat.
en- Hughes by accepting the
progressive nomination.
He could beat him now by
denOuncing Hughes and his
following as unworthy Of
confidence.
II Is not likely Roosevelt
will do this; having made his
decision between Wilson and
Hughes, he will probably
stand by 1t.
But his tsanding by 1t does not
alter the fact as to his disap-
pointment and the disappoint-
ment of his following.
Nothing can hide the fact that
Hughes has chosen to steer clear
of giving offense to the German
Americans and is determined to
make a safe and sane" campaign
on inconsequential issues, rather
than make slashing anti-admin-
istration campaign on the issues
Roosevelt devised to him.
The effect OF the Roosevelt and
progressive disaffection will
eentually be seen in the lining mp
of the progressive vote.
III Hughes had performed so as
to get the real and cordial en-
dorsement of Roosevelt consid-
cradle proportion of the Roose-
welt vote might have been polled
for Hughes, but with the impress
sion spreading daily that Hughes
Is only a respectable window
dressing for the Old Guard and
that the power and policies Of
the Hughes administration would
be welded by Penrose, Hitchcock.
Taft, Wilcox and the rest, many
progressives will be inclined to
take the Wilson end of the alter
native for another four years.

Poindexter polled more votes in Eastern
Washington than all of the other candidates
combined.
In Tacoma and Pierce county, where Gen.
Ashton, strong Tacoma man, was among those
running against him. POindexter, supported
alone by The Times, received so per cent of the
vote.
In Seattle and King county, where Judge
Burke had the solid backing of all the papers

politicians, Poindexter received 5000 votes
more than Judge Burke, or 81 per cent of the
total vote
1t will be the same story again next Tuesday.
Polls taken by strong republican paper in

than all his opponents combined. In Tacoma it's
the same way.

Hughes performance In the west!
Nothing, they think, could be
worse.
Instead of talking American

expected he would, he has de-

that Poindexter will receive close to 60 per cent
of the first choice votes.
Tacoma and Pierce county never have had any
use for the pork-barrel Humphrey, and it will
not surprise anybody if Humphrey runs third
in this county, with Poindexter again getting
90 per cent or more of the first choice votes.
In Seattle and King county, it is an even bet
that Humphrey will draw proportionately fewer
votes even that did Judge Burke.

LANDSLIDE COMING FOR P0INDExTER!

Six years ago standpat papers which were
fighting Miles Poindexter printed the same
kind of polluted political news as they are doing
today.
They printed fake stories from various parts
of the state, lying about Poindexter.
They told in glowing terms about the big votes
that Poindexter's opponents would get, and so
on.
Their poisoned publicity fooled nobody 1t
didn't stampede the voters at all.

ference Of Southern lunEcr,. The
reasons why a one crop system i,

be as follows:
First. Because the system de

diGon> of the onecrop alone. Failure
Of crop or failure of market alike
bring serious disaster.
Second. Because it does not
provide for the maintenance of soil
fertility.
Third. Because it fails to pro-
vide for a sufficient livestock in
dustry to consume the waste pro
ducts of the farm and make It's
waste lands productive.
Fourth. Because it does not
provide for a system Of farm man
asement under which labor, teams
and tools may be used to the fullest
advantage.
Fifth. Because it brings returns
in cash but once a year instead of
turning the money over more than
once a year.
Sixth. Because it does not
produce the necessary foods to
ppply the people upon the farm
and keepthem in health and
strength.
Seventh. It limits knowledge,
narrows citizenship, and does not
foster home building, but does en-
courage commercial farming

Physicians are beginning 70 note an
increase in the number Of night hor-
rors among children and attribute
these dreams of terror to overhaul
gence in moving picture shows. That
these terrors are increasingly magni'
fed Is due to abnormal and unstable
stimulation of the child's delicate ner-
vous system by scenes of adventure
thrown upon the canvas. The New
York Medical Record says: "Physi'
clans cannot afford to ignore the
numerous hygienic aspects Of motion
pictures which have become an I'M
portant institution Of modern life. The
relation Of these pictures to mental
hygiene in the case OF the growing
child is one that demands the atten

French vital statistics for the first
six months OF 1914 have recently been
published. In that half year the deaths
exceeded the births by 1900. During
eight of the last twenty-five years, in
fact, France has needed more collins
than cradles. Had 1t not been for the
pressure of Italian and other foreign
element with a high birth rate, the
showing would have been even worse
The French native stock has been
losing in numbers. This decline is
bound to be increased for a time at
least, by the present war. Besides
those slain in battle, we must count
upon a temporary diminution in the
normal number of births. A prolonga'
ton of the war into 1915 might con
ceivably find France facing as never
before the problem OF great decline
in population.
