years as city attorney and as mayor
of Pomeroy in 1900.
In legal practice Senator Kuyken-
dali was law partner of Judge NJ.
E. GOse, former member of the SUI
preme court. AS state legislator
Senator Kuykendall was elected to
the 1907 session on the Republican
ticket from the Tenth senatorial dis
trict, including Garfield, Columbia
and Asotin counties. He won early
legislative recognition for legal
knowledge and ability and at the 1910
session presided with distinction over
the senate judiciary committee, in adj
dition to other important assign
ments. He was not an aspirant for
appointment to the public service
commission, yielding only to pressure
Governor Hart exerted personally.
Chairman Dlaine's resignation from
the commission was officially an
nounced with the appointment of his
successor. MIR. Blaine Is pioneer at
torney and business man of Seattle,
having been long associated with the
Denny interests there. He was ap-
pointed by the late Governor Lister to
fill vacancy caused by resignation
of c. A. Reynolds. also Of Seattle. Ac-
ceptance of Mr.. Blaine's resignation
is regarded as one of the changes the

ABERDEEN BANKER BADLY
HURT IN AUTO ACCIDENT
w. j. Patterson and Party Near to
Death When Steering Gear
Breaks.

Narrowly escaping death, although
not seriously injured, w. J. Patter-
son. prominent capitalist and banker
of Aberdeen. returned to Aberdeen
last Saturday by train, leaving the re-
mains of his Packard limousine in a
local garage.
The accident occurred about seven
miles from Olympia on the Shelton
road while Patterson and a party
composed of Mrs. w. J. Paterson,
Mrs. Harry Phipps. w. H. Fovargue,
former Pacific Coast golf champion.
and two others we're on their way to
Everett to take part in a golf match
at that place between the Aberdeen
and Everett clubs.
Mrs. Patterson was badly lacerated
about the head and face by being
thrown from the car into the gravel
at the side of the road, and Fovargue
was cut severely on the head when he
in some manner came in contact with
the golf clubs. The other members
of the party were not injured.
The car was going at slow rate
of speed or more serious injuries
would probably have occurred. The
accident was caused by the loosening
of nut on the steering gear which
allowed it to swing free, leaving the
driver without any control over the
car

acting governor desired to make upon
beginning his administration, the un-
|derstanding being that the public
service commission will be entirely
changed, but probably not for some
time. Commissioner F. r. Spinning's
appointive term expired June 16 and
that of Commissioner A. A. Lewis has
two years yet to run. Mr.. Blaine's
term would not have expired normally
for several years.
Appointment of Senator Kuyken.
dali as chairman of the public service
commission and J. NJ. Thatcher of Sc
attic as state tax commissioner marks
two substitutions of Republicans for
Democrats in the month since full re.
sponsibility for the administration
passed to Governor Hart.
Another is certain to be made be-
fore September 1. when Joseph w.
Rrislawn retires by resignation from
the state tax commission. He came
to the legislature as house member
from Lincoln county in 1913, and has
served by appointment of the late
Governor Lister, first as tax commits
sioner and since 1917 on the indus

| trial insurance commission. The term
OF Donald A. Mcdonald on the indus
trial insurance commission has also
expired, and he is serving as hold
over.
Whoever gets this appointment
will draw $4,000 a year, instead of
$500. under an increase granted by
the last legislature, but not available
to those on the commission when the
increase was granted until present
terms expire. The appointee who sue
ceeds Commissioner Brislawn will
draw $4,000 until the latters regular
term is completed. Chairman H. l..
Hughes is expected to remain on the
commission as labor's choice.
Frederick Crosby, now a resident
of Lacey near Olympia, is reported to
have the Endorsements of State Sena-
tor p. H. Carlyon and Representative
Mark +. Reed to succeed Commission
err Mcdonald. Mr.. Crosby was for
years a member of the United States
marshal's staff at Tacoma by Repub-
lican appointment. 1t is believed the
Endorsements he is said to have will
be sufficient. Another candidate for
appointment to the industrial insur.
ance commission is Fred A. Llewellyn
of Seattle, former adjutant general
of state troops.
James Allen, state highway COM
missioner, still holds the distinction
of being the only Democrat whose res
ignation Governor Hart has refused
to accept. 1t is understood that res
ignation of most of the present ap.
pointees Of the former administration
are at the acting governors DISPOSE
ton.
Notice of a minor change in state
appointments came in acknowledge
ment of the resignation OF w. NJ. Kill
patrick, superintendent of the state
school for deaf at Vancouver. He
was brought from New Jersey two
years ago when a change desired by
the state board of control displaced
Thomas p Clarke. The latter accept
ed a call to Arkansas. but it is under
stood that he had been offered reap
pointment to the Vancouver institu-
ton, although the board of control
denied knowledge Of this develop
ment. Superintendent Clarke held
Office under Governor NJ. E. Hay, Re-
publican, who preceded Governor Lis

LABOR TO HAVE TICKET
That Is Story Given Out BY One
Who "Ciaims to
Know"

"a full ticket, candidates for the
four seats on the council and for may
or, representing the labor element of
this city is going into the files in the
city election this spring." declared a
man who claims to be well served in
the city political situation in an inter-
view with The Free Press this morn
ing.
run on this ticket have already been
groomed and tested until they are
ready to enter the race and promise
to land in the exclusive circle of
"city dads" without any great diff
Guilty.
"An eight hour day in Mankato," it
is claimed will be the battle cry of
the dark horse candidates. Who these
candidates are and when they will slip
into the race is not known, but assur-
ance is given That they will be in line
for the race when March % rolls
around.
There is another rumor af1oat that
the gentleman who claims to know the
political movements that are taking
place among the labor element, would
not be averse to heading their ticket.
Several labor leaders who were seen
today stated that it was not, so far as
they knew, the purpose Of the labor
men to raise the cry of class distinc-
ton in politics.
