PO|NOEXTER WANTS
TO Be PRESIDENT
WASHINGTON SENATOR FORMAL
LY ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY
FIRST IN RACE.

The first Republican to announce
officially his candidacy for the presi-
dency is Senator Miles Poindexter of
this state, who formally tossed his
hat in the ring" Monday in state
ment to the people of the United
States in which he presented plat
form of policies and principles which
he will advocate in his campaign.
The senator in his statement of
policy denounces threats of labor
leaders to tie up the railroads as
government by terror, for a special
class" and declares that the govern
ment must be made supreme to both
capital and labor, though insisting
that the just claims of labor should
be recognized.
Communism, Senator Poindexter
declared, is inconsistent with the vest
ed rights of the laborer to his wages.
Treating of international matters, the
platform remarks that "the process
of making a supreme sacrifice of
America and of Joining our fortunes
with the fortunes of men everywhere,
should be stopped"
In making his statement of prin-
ciples Senator Poindexter asserted
that his announcement Of policy
makes 1t necessary for the Republican
national convention in 1920 to stand
by his platform, should he be chosen
as the party's standard bearer

LOCAL HIGH BOYS
HIT THEIR STRIDE
BATTLE HOQUIAM TO TIE SCORE
ANOTHER DOUBLE-HEADER
SATURDAY..

The Olympia football teams made
favorable showings on the home grid
iron last Saturday. The first team
tied Hoquiam 6 to 6, and the second
team scored 10 to 0 against the Shell
ton men.
Favored with dandy day and a
fair crowd the Hi boys more than met
the expectations of the local fans.
The only score that Hoquiam made
was secured during the first three
minutes of the play, and the touch-
down for Olympia was made by Kisor
during the last half. This left the
'final score to s. as neither side
kicked goal.
In the second team game some
close work was displayed by the
second team men. and they took all
the pep out of the Shelton team,
which averaged 10 pounds.
Local enthusiasts will again be
treated to a double-header on the
coming Saturday afternoon. The
main game of the day will be with
Centralia. and the second team will
clash with the Oakville boys. This
will be the only chance that the D. H. .
S. players will have to take a swat at
Centralia. which ranks pretty close
to Chehalis. AS on last Saturday af.
ternoon, the second team will stage
the prelude at 2 p. m, and the big
game will Immediately follow.
1t is expected that Referee Coulter
will officiate. and from the showing
of last Saturday the local football
men will furnish plenty of excite
ment..

to use violence and raise popular pre-
judice against him.
Exciting Violence?
Il have withdrawn my consent for
the meeting with the committee OF
Council Bluffs soldiers next Wednes-
day says the statement, ..becaus5 I
have learned it is being used by my
political enemies in the state whom /

Mob Violence?
MY farmer friends. alarmed by the
