A Delaware Republicans Greed

believe in Republican principles,
in Republican policies, in the Repub-
lican party and in the Republican or
ganization because they inure to the
peace, prosperity and happiness of
our State and Nation.
believe that the present activity
of Alfred |. du Pont, pretended po-
IiticaI purifier, is due, not to any
desire to serve or benefit the public,
but to a desire to vent his hatred
upon his kindred, at the expense of
Republican principles, Republican
policies, the Republican party and
the Republican organization.
Believing those things, and believ.
ing further that Republican prin-
ciples, Republican policies. the Re-
publican party and the Republican
organization are of infinitely great
er importance to our State and
Nation than are the hatred and re-
vengefuI lust of any man, deem it
to be my sacred duty in the impend-
ing primary and general election to
support those principles and policies
and that party and its organization
with loyalty and fidelity, to the end
that, by so doing, may truly and
faithfully serve the public interest
and the public welfare.

WILL STOP BAKING
ALL JITNEY LOAVES
Beginning Monday 1t Will Require a
Dime to Buy a Loaf of
Bread.

AS a result of recent decision of
the master bakers of Hoquiam, Cos
mopolis and Aberdeen, there will be
no more sc loaves of bread baked
and sold on the Harbor All. the ma
terials that enter into the composition
of bread have been on a steady up
ward trend for some time, and it is
absolutely necessary in order to make
any profit whatever, to either reduce
the size of the sc loaf, or eliminate
it entirely. The loaf purchased Mon
day, for a dime, will weigh exactly
twice as much as the present sc
loaf. The saving to the bakers oc-
ours in the less labor and time re-
quired to bake the double size loaves
Of bread. The bakers do not wish to
reduce the weight until it is neces-
sary, and are offering the 1Oc loaf
as the only present solution.
The baker at Montesano still puts
out &c loaf, but he has reduced the
weight, offering a loaf, however, for
1Oc that is about equal to two of his
former SC loaves.

YOU MUST READ
THE MEASURES
Initiative and Referendum
Measures to be on Ballot
by Numbers Only

OLYMPIA, Sept. 28.-Voters casting
ballots on the initiative and referen.
dunn measures at the election in Now
ember will have to read the measures
in order to familiarize themselves with
the proposed laws on which they wish
to vote, according to the copy ballot
sent to the state printer by Secretary
Of State l. M. Howell.
For instance, the "picketing meas
ure," as it is known by popular appela-
tion, will be printed on the ballot as
Referendum Measure No. G." 1t will
not read "for picketing measure" and
against picketing measure" but will
simply be printed "for referendum
measure No. g." and against referen-
dunn measure No. g."
Must Read Bill Carefully
1t will be seen, then, that in order
for the voter to cast ballot intelli-
gently he will have to read the pro.
posed act.
Instructions as to what his vote "for''
and against" will mean will not be on
the ballot. The line "To sustain the
legislative act, vote for" will not
appear above the ballot. Nevertheless
vote cast for the proposed law, and
a vote against the referendum is
against the new measure.

WHlSKEY BILLED
CANNED SALMON
Over 60 Gallons Taken from
Cargo Of Steamer Coronado
on Arrival from California
WORTH SMALL FORTUNE
Consigned to Klalock Canning
Company, butts Not Claimed
Owners are Unknown.

Lacking judgement in the first place
in labelling cases Canned Salmon" to
be shipped to Aberdeen-a commun-
lty where salmon is canned and ship.
ped out, some enterprising person or
persons at San Francisco attempted
to enter here with the cargo from the
Coronado when the vessel was un-
loaded at the foot of H street Sun
day night, twenty-five boxes, presum.
ably salmon cases, but which contain
ed II quarts of liquor, or a total OF
more than 60 gallons.
Chief Schmidt, Mayor Phillips and
Captain Searles were present when
the Coronado was discharging her
cargo, and BECAME suspicious of the
cases marked Canned Salmon-Til-
licum Company Brand" consigned to
the Klalock Canning company, this
city. One Of the cases was opened,
and the liquor found.
Contrary to first reports, the firm
of Klalock Canning company does ex-
ist here; two brothers who are oper-
ating on small scale, but they are
entirely innocent of any connection
with the big booze shipment. The
theory is advanced by the police that
the party who billed the goods from
San Francisco trusted that the con-
signment would not excite suspicion
on arrival here and could be claimed
by the true consignee without risk.
If such had been the case, and the
liquor sold through the regular boot
Logging channels at prevailing prices
charged for contrabrand liquor, the 60
gallons would have netted a small
fortune.
The booze is being held, and the
police are diligently looking for the
men who were supposed to receive the
stuff

DUCK DINNER FOR SUNDAY.

Sunday, a fine day anyway, will be
celebrated by many October l who
usually give little or no heed to the
ecclesiastical associations OF the day,
by iourneying down the "bay" after
ducks and other water fowl-for the
law opens for the slaughter of these
innocents just after sunrise on this
date. About a week ago, while it
was raining, the lower harbor was
covered with ducks. but the last few
pleasont days has scattered them.
Duck hunting must not begin before
the sun shows up, and must cease
when the sun goes down, but good
shot, where ducks are plenty. can
usually fill his bag even under these
restrictions.

FOR SHERIFF
JEFF BARTELL
Nominee on Democratic Tick
ct Promises to be Popular
with Voters of All Parties.
DEPENDS ON HIS RECORD
Independent Voters Numerous
this Year. Nominations no
Longer Mean Election.

The old Republican slogan, "Vote
the Ticket Straight" will have less
force at the coming elections than
ever before. The tremendous revolt
against the methods of that party's
leaders four years ago was not hys-
terical movement, but rather an ex-
preston Of an opinion that had been
growing for several years. The steam
rollering at Aberdeen and Chicago
were but the natural result Of the
method of a set of self constituted
bosses intoxicated with power over a
great party.
This independence of voting can but
be beneficial to the cause of good gov
ernment and it will prove an undisguis-
ed blessing if Grays Harbor county
receives a share of it. The absurdity
of electing county officials on party
tickets has at last dawned upon the
public, and on November Z, the names

to secure the best regardless of their
views on national policies.
Among those who will receive at
tention is Jeff. Bartell, Of Hoquiam,
Democratic nominee for sheriff. The
nomination of Quinn on the Republi-
can ticket is said to be unsatisfactory
to many of those who supported him,
and it is said that Bartell will beat
him bad in the home city of both,
Hoquiam.
Bartell is highly recommended by
those who have known him for years,
and he is thoroughly equipped for the
position. He is 81 years of age, a
native of Detroit, Mich, and served
with credit on the Hoquiam police
force seven years. from 1908 to 1915,
when he resigned to go upon his
farm. on Ford's prairie Later he re-
turned to Hoquiam. where he now re-
sides. In the contest for the office
of sheriff. Mr. Bartell will rely upon
his record as peace officer and as
a citizen of the county.
