fore u joint session Of the house and

This delegation was composed of
Senator T. D. Rockwell, former head
OF the Washington state tax commits

A. p. Judd of the Washington senate
and Representative Maurice Smith of

The speaker won loud applause when
he said the commissioner of labor of
Washington said organized labor was
patriotic but some OF its leaders are
not; that many of them are aliens and
should be deported from the country.
In his address Representative Con-
nor said that approximately 10000 men
had been indicted into the service from
Idaho, Washington and Oregon and
that as many more had come into the
northwest while soldiers from other
states were being discharged. All of
them, he said. will have to find en-
ployment. He said that the !. w. w.

charge ANA many of them were being

funds and no work in sight.
Representative Smith, who was re-
Gently discharged from the service, said
there was one thing the soldier did not
want and that was charity. A square
deal and a chance to make good was all
the American soldier would demand
and he has right to expect that, he
said.
The Washington delegation left
shortly afterwards for Helena to ad-
dress the Montana legislature along the

Unless between 800 and 400 more

affixed to petitions protesting
against the proposed repeal of the
state primary law, this afternoon

Through the action of county

many names from the petitions, the

of completion and Silver Bow coun-
