DEMOCRATS WRITE
NAMES ON TICKET
Shortage of Candidates for the
County Offices is Made up at
Primary Election

With no contests and with filings
for but three of the county Offices there
was but little interest in the demo-
cratic primaries and not few of the
democrats called for republican tick
cts to help out some of the candidates
in whom they were interested. In or
der that most of the Offices might not
go to the republicans by default at
the November election the ticket was
filled up by writing in names. j. B..
Clements for representative and II. S.
Huntington for treasurer and C. W..
Fristoe for prosecuting attorney, were
the only three regularly filed candi-
dates and were nominated without op-
position.
Altho no definite figures are avail
able on the lead pencil candidates,
from totals received at the auditors
office it is apparent that the following
have been nominated on the dmocratic
ticket: auditor, Averill Beavers; clerk
Robt. Gascoigne; sheriff, E. A. Ferrell;
assessor, Ben Knox; engineer, c. B.
Michener; superintendent Of schools,
C. A. Wise.
In the Prosser district Alex McNeill
secured the democratic nomination for
commissioner over E. w. r. Taylor.

. Gould are Quietly Married
in Portland

Miss Eleanor Staser and Mr.. Par
ker Gould took their many friends
completely by surprise last Thursday
when they We're quietly married in
one of the Episcopal churches in Port
land. Miss Staser had been out of
the city several days spending her
vacation at the home of her brother
in Oregon City but friends were given
no intimation of the approaching
nuptials and the announcements in
Fridays mail We're indeed surprise
packages. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Gould
are well known in and around Kenne-
wick. Mrs. Gould has made her home
in Kennewick with her parents, Judge
and Mrs. Staser, for more than ten
years and is one of the city's most
popular young ladies. She has been

SUPPORTERS OF WOODROW
WILSON ORGANIZE A CLUB
Local Admirers of the President Plan
to Contribute to Success of
His Campaign

At meeting held last Saturday
evening local Wilson club was or
ganized. This organization is not a
democratic club and the purpose is to
have it strictly non-partisan so far
as any state or local ticket is con-
cerned-the only motive being the re-
election of President Wilson in No
vember. Already there is large
membership and from all accounts it
promises to grow considerably in the
next few weeks. A meeting will be
held next Tuesday evening at eight
o'clock in the Commercial club rooms.
All supporters of President Wilson
are urged to be present. The organiz-
alton is modelled after the National
Woodrow Wilson club in which many
of the officers are from the progress
sive and republican parties.

BENTON COUNTY IS
OUT OF THE RACE
John Truax of RitZville and E.
A. Davis of PascO are Success
full in Judiciary Contest

The contest for Judge of the super
ior court at the November election
will be fought out between John Truax
of Ritzville and Edward A. Davis, of
Pasco, who were the two high men
in the voting at Tuesdays primary
election. Altho Benton county's vote
was within about 300 votes of the COM
bined vote of Adams and Franklin
counties, M. M. Moulton, of this city,
and G. w. Hamilton, of Prosser, were
eliminated because of a division of
the home vote.
Truax was the high man. in the race
by a good safe margin but the race be-
tween Davis and Moulton for second
place was very close and the differ
ence will be probably not more than
fifty votes. Mr.. Hamilton, as was ex-
pected, was the fourth man in the
contest.
The totals with one small precinct
in Franklin and two small precincts in
Adams missing are as follows:

RICHLAND EXPECTS LARGE
ATTENDANCE AT FESTIVAL
Kennewick Cannot Shut Up Shop on
Account of Counter Attractions
Here and in Finley

Altho Kennewick will not shut up
shop, it is expected that everybody
who can get away will visit the Rich
land Valley Festival, which is to be
held Friday and Saturday of this
week. An effort to close up the town
one afternoon was abandoned for the
reason that the annual fair of the
Kennewick schools is in progress now
and the Finley fair is to be held Fri
day evening and Saturday.
With no Grape Carnival to occupy
their attention the Richland people
plan to make this years festival the
biggest and best one yet. In addition
to the exhibit there will be an inter-
esting program given each day with
stunts and features to amuse every
body.

CITY EXPENDITURES
ALMOST TOO MUCH
Council Has Difficulty in Stretch
ing Income to Meet Neces-
sary Expenses

With a probable decrease of several
thousand dollars in the assessed val
uation of the city staring them in the
face, members of the city council have
been spending some sleepless nights
in an attempt to stretch the maximum
tax levy sufficiently to meet the
necessary expenses of running the
city in 1916.
Last year the council believed it had
made the last possible clip with the
pruning shears, but next years bud
get, as published elsehere in this is
sue, shows reduction of about $3.50
under this years total. To accom-
plish this the council was forced to
eliminate the park fund levy and use
the maximum of IL mills as allowed
by statute for general expenses.
Light and water expenditures are
fixed by contract and it was impossible
to effect any saving in this d part,
ment. Salaries in the police depart
ment were reduced last year to the
lowest possible figure and the ex-
penses of the fire department is al
ready at the minimum. The estimates
for the street and the irrigation de-
partments are the same as this year.
In addition to the levy of IL mills
for current expense levy Of 6 mills
is made for the Indebtedness fund. The
money raised by this levy is to meet
the interest on bonds and to retire
outstanding warrants. The last ses-
sion of the legislature passed law re-
quiring that this 6-mill levy be made
each year as long as there is any out
standing Indebtedness.
In the published budget the esti-
mates. have been made upon an as
sessed valuation of $S35,000 the same
as last year. Altho the assessor has
not yet announced his figures for this
year it is known that there will be
material reduction.

however, have been busy and there

ing, sewing and flowers. Two canning
teams of high school students have
been practicing since the opening of

LA TOILETTE FOR CONGRESS
Pullman Man has Big Lead Over All
Other Candidates for Congress
i'm Fourth District

| Latest returns now IN from 10 per
cent of the precincts in the state,
make the denomination of Senator
Miles PoindeXtor and the nomination
of Henry Mcbride of Seattle for gov
ernor certain. The showing that
/ Poindexter carried Pierce county,
where Humphrey was third, clinched
his victory, as the two men are rum
ming neck and neck in King county
and Poindexter obtained substantial
lead in Spokane county over Humph-
rey, tho virtually tied with DIR. E. A.
Bryan on first and second choice
votes. s..
Comparatively meager western
Washington returns indicate the re-
nomination of Lieutenant Governor
Louis f. Hart, altho Arthur w. Da-
Wis of Spokane is maintaining good
lead in eastern Washington. w. w.
Sherman, of Olympia apparently has
defeated Calvin j. Carr of Tacoma by
good plurality for the nomination
for state treasurer, and the renomina-
tion of Mrs. Josephine Preston as state
superintendent of instruction, now is
generally conceded.
Three supreme court judges, Emmet
N. Parker, Mark A. Fullerton and
George E. Morris, lead the judicial
ticket by considerable margin, and
it is probable that each has secured
majority of all votes cast. Judge
j. Stanley Webster also has received
clear majority of all votes cast for
the short term, and the names of these
judges will go on the November bal
lot unopposed.

Hattie Daley and Nellie Toilette. owners of the canal boat Elmer D. Walling, having brought suit against the steamer Westerly, the case was heard Saturday in the United States district court, Providence, before Judge Arthur l.. Brown. The Westerly was towing the Mailing loaded with granite paving blocks from Westerly to Stonington, on Nov p, 1913, when the Walling ran afoul of a submerged rock and was damaged. The claim of the libellants is that the tugboat took the barge through a dangerous chan nel and at the time of the accident was towing the canaler entirely out side the regular channel, and in a course known to be strewn with rocks.
 This claim is made by the Hbellants, yet 1t is conceded that Captain Frank H. Robinson, of the Westerly, is the most experienced navigator of the Pawcatuck river, and therefore would not likely to pilot his own boat and his tow in course known to be strewn with rocks.
 The Westerly Towing company's an- swer to the suit is that the barge was being lowed in the regular channel which had been dredged in 1913, and that the rock which the Walling struck was an uncharted and unknown one. It is also claimed that the draught of the Mailing was misStated to Captain Robinson. The Iibellents are repre- scented by Macklin, Brown and Purdy
