VXTITH the death of Governor Ernest Lister,
W a sincere. clean, American has passed
from public life in Washington.
Ernest Lister was twice elected governor
by the independent, party-frec voters of
Washington.
Clean living. sincerity, high spirit Of pub
lie service deep sympathy, and certain hard,
uncompromising strongheadcdness that some
times loosed storms of criticism at his head,
characterized Governor Listers life.
Governor Lister was not startling spec
tacuar executive, but rather a careful, consci-
entious public servant Honesty, efficiency
and economy were the ideals he tried to at
tain in the offices directly under his control
He typifies clean politics. as distinguished
from the ward-heeer's product of a generation
ago. His splendid family life. and his own open,
straightforward manner-both toward friend
and foe-made many of his most bitter pot-
ical enemies his close personal admirers.
Governor Lister was plain man, strong
in heart.
People of this commonwealth will bow
down in tribute to the high worth of this
American.
