w. j. ABBOTT
NOn.Partisan Candidate for
COUNTY TREASURER

When the writer of these short
word sketches of the Non-Partisan
candidates started out to find out
something about w. j. Abbott, the
candidate for county treasurer, he
discovered right off the reel some
what peculiar thing these days
every Democrat he talked to said Mr..
Abbott was a Republican and every
Republican said he was a Democrat,
which just went to bear out the in
dependent character Of the man from
the political standpoint, and to sub
stantiate his own statement that he
had never voted straight ticket in
his life, but had always voted for the
man he thought best fitted for tho
job, regardless of what his politics
might be.
And so when Mr.. Abbott became a
candidate for county Office on the
ticket whose cardinal principle is the
individual merit of the candidates,
he was merely fulfilling his own life
long political viewpoint, and demon
oIIdtlu6 tuNl LILO AohS yCdio VI polit-
ical independence in the voting booth
would characterize the administra-
ton of the office to which he aspires,
If he is elected.
Mr.. Abbott has lived in Thurston
county since boyhood-55 years, to
be exact. He knows nearly every
body and nearly everybody knows
him, and as he jokingly tells his
friends in the current campaign, "My
record is we'll known. I've never
been arrested, never been in Jail. d"
Seriously speaking, he is man
whose reputation for strict honesty,
high ability end sterling independ-
ence is countrywide.
In recent years he has been run
ming his 300-acre farm at South
Union. For ten years, until the COM
pany was sold to another local firm y
year ago, he was manager of tho
Formers Cooperative Creamery OF
this city. He is recognized through
out the county as a successful farmer
and business man, \ man who has
devoted all his life to promotion Of

GEO. F., YANTIS
NOn.Partisan Candidate for
Reelection as
PROSECUTING ATTORNEY

Two years ago the voters of Thur
stor county, iisgusted with the mac
-ior of the previous two years, upset
tho calculations of the Hopkins
machine, handed surprise package
to one Thos. l.. O'Leary, and elect
ed Geo. F. Yantis prosecuting attor-
ney. This fall Yantis is up for re-
election on the Non-Partisan ticket,
and O'Leary Is trying to come back.
ELt Yantis has a record of activ-
ity and accomplishment behind him,
of the successful disposition of far
more cases than his opponent ever
bestirred himself to handle, the
transaction of an enormous amount
of work that never reached the
courts, a record of convictions in
most of the cases tried-if mans
success in this Office is to be meas
ured by the number of men he sends

cerity of official conduct, that will
re-elect him IN spite of all the Hop
kins' machine may do or O'Leary
may say in the current campaign.

and Recall and No. 5, directed against
the Direct Primary. These three
measures I consider are among the
most, If not the most, pernicious laws
ever passed by the Legislature in this
st:to against the fundamental rights
Of the people under our popular
govel nment. The masses of the
peorle Of this state, under the
direction Of organizations composed
OF men and women interested in ad-
vancing and protecting the rights Of
the common Ian under our institu-
tton OF popular government, have
banded themselves together for the
purpose of defeating these three
meaeures now being referred to the
people Of this state. On the other
hand, there can be no dispute as to
the character of the forces united in
support of all these referred measures
intended to curtail the principle of
poI ular government.
Approves Clayton Act.
My attention has been called to the
provisions Of the Clayton Act recently
enccted by Democratic National
Congress. This act clearly defines the
respective rights Of labor and capital
In their several disputes. The general
plan there outlined can give, and do
give, my unqualified approval. My
own personal record as a workman
and associate member of labor organ
izations, and my entire record rs 8
public man, clearly emphasizes to
everyone that feeling of sympathy
which have for the cause of labor.
Notwithstanding the position for
mer'y taken by me in respect to Ref
erendum Measure No. 6, known as
the Anti-PicketinG Bill, and after
mature consideration of the drastic
provisions of this measure, and in tho
light Of the scope Of the Clayton Act,
passed by Democratic Congress and
approved by President Wilson, which
in my opinion and in the opinion of
organized labor goes far to compose
the difference between labor and cap
ital, shall unite with the forces
mentioned above to urge the defeat
Of this, and all other measures re-
ferred to the people at this election.

Every one of the boys takes a nice

usually fast in fielding The pitchers
did not loosen up much yesterday, but
Kawashima and Kishi sent few fast
ones to the catcher Kishi is south

pears 20 have an abundance of speed
and aharp break on the ball. Kawa-
shima is ackno xledged to be the pre-
mier pitcher, as he has good control
and is heady man on the mound.
Center fielder Cho and shortstop
Kato were watched yesterday in their
practise, and both look like good ball
players. Cho is Chinese who was
born in Japan, and speaks the Japan
ese language fluently. He looks good
at the bat, and showed plenty of speed
in the field. -.
Midget at Short.
Kato is about as big as a pint of
cider, and the little fellow surely
showed something for a boy of his
size. He has way of getting the ball
of fast, and at the plate stands up
well and cracks the ball on a line.
Ichioka, the big catcher, handles him
self well, and in his few pegs to the
second cushion exhibited a good whip.
The players, of course, realize that
they will have to fight hard to win,
but they are said to be game bunch
and the Chicago boys had good word
for them. At the first practise they
looked good enough to give the locals
a good series. Manager Paresa should
not have an easy time winning from
this squad, and local Japanese believe
that the Wasedas will land the first
game. -- 49,.

TO KALIHI Team


On Monday evening at Kalihi for
the first time during the present Sc
ries Of mems indoor baseball the fast
Palama team went down in defeat, the
final score being Kaiihi IL, Palama 10.
Il looked IN the ninth as IL the Pa.
lamas we're going to pull the game out
Of the IRE when with two down they
filed the bases and by hard hitting
pushed three men over the pan.
L0m DUN Is Wild.
Lum Dunn started to pitch for Pa
lama, but was wild and was replaced
by Arthur Parker In the second, who
in that inning held the Kalihi slug
gers safe. Ii the third Kalihi got to
Parker for four hits with an error
and two bases on balls, which scored
six runs, giving them a big lead. Bar
boza pitched fine game for Kalihi,
striking out 20 men to Parker's is and
received fine support, especially with
men on bases. Kalihi had six men left
on bases, while Palama had l2 left at
the switch. Only IA hits were made
from Parker while Rarboza yielded
i've more. but always frightened up
when hits meant runs.
Lum Dung, Tai 10y and Roberto led
with the stick, each getting four safe
smashss out Of I'VE times up. Akana,
behind the bat for kalihi, was a big
surprise. playing q swell game and
using excellent judgment in his sig
mails. Parker did mot have the con-
troll that he uspally las. giving six
passes, four Of which materialized In
to runs. In the last inning Barboza
was touched up for Eve hits, and Pa
lama came within an inch Of tying
the score when Tai 10y was out at
the plate trying to steal home.
