be given a minimum penalty oil
80 days in jail, and no suspended
sentences would be allowed.
The courts and the prosecuting
attorneys office have been lenient
with these offenders in the past

pended sentences, but the number
of auto thefts for joy-rides have
increased so alarmingly that stric
measures must be taken.
There have been lately" say
Mr.. Selden, from one to six auto
mobiles stolen every night, and ;
large number Of these are fount

Puts New Aspect
In Election Race

II. Roy Harrison, labor candi-
date for councilman, clarified the
councilmanic race Thursday by
announcing positively that he was
a candidate for the office of public
works commissioner. Harrison
has expressed this preference at
different times during the prim-
airy campaign, he said.
After the votes Of the primary
election were counted, and 1t was
found that Harrison, Shoemaker,
Meath and Carr were the success
full aspirants, perplex,ng situa-
tion arose because OF the qualifi-
cations of the candidates. Shoe
maker, Meath and Carr have all
expressed a preference for the fin
ance commission, because of their
long experience in financial work.
With Harrison running for
public works, and three others
united for finance, the coming two
weeks campaign takes on a new
and interesting appearance.
II want to clean up Tacoma so
that we can be proud to show visi-
tors our city," said Harrison
Thursday, speaking of the public
works office. "Our streets are
