Mr.. Bridges as land commissioner had
obtained reappraisal and sale of the
property while he was in the land
commissioners office said Captain
w. j. Coyle' republican nominee for
lieutenant governor, just before he
left Seattle today to begin speaking
tour of eastern Washington.
1T must be that Mr.. Bridges, who
processes to be ultra sincere and who
would have us believe exudes honesty
from every pore, accepts his party
platform as solemn compact with
the voters. To be sure there were
events in the career of Mr.. Bridges as
state land commissioner that raise
some doubt as to his high mindedness
in the days of populism. but we are
told that now Mr.. Bridges is really
sincere
His platform declares: Where land
or any gift of nature is privately own
ed, the possessor shall pay all unearn-
ed increment attaching thereto into
the public treasury.
And if Mr. Bridges sincerely advo-
Gates this policy I'd say to him blow
back!'
These White River farms which Mr.
Bridges acquired from the state some
twenty years ago for $3.50 and So

increment of his farms, or will accept
the original purchase price and give
back the land, we'll soon enough rid

American Legion-which have demand
ed that the doors of this county be
closed to unrestricted Asiatics, the

disciples of discomfort from whatever
land they may come. And | believe in
that principle myself.
I'm one of his speeches Mr. Bridges
said: i am opposed to any legislation
that would keep the Japanese or the
people of any other nation out of this
country And again he said: My view
on this is as broad as the world itself
| believ the people of the world should
be allowed to go where they please.
"And by this sort of talk he seeks to
justify himself in leasing the lands of
the White River valley he acquired
while he was land commissioner 10
Japanese tenants for 5000 a month.
James A. Duncan, the man who Mayor
Hugh M. Caldwell defeated for mayor
by the unprecedented majority of H.
238 last spring and who is now a can
didate for congress from the First dis
trict said in a Kitsap county speech 4
few nights ago that maybe Bridges
couldn't cultivate all his lands himself
and had to employ Japs during a labor
shortage. Aside from the fact that this
is poor sentiment to be uttered by tn.
man who led the general strike in Sc
attic in February, 1919 and who poses
as labor's friend, it is a gratuitious
apology which Bridges himself rejects.
He glories in his attitude as a lover of
profitable Asiatic labor.
IF Mr.. Bridges carried out his at
titude. he means he would invite the
240 Russian disturbers who sailed or
the soviet ark few months ago 10

EXPOSING BRIDGES.

w. j. Coyle, republican candidate for
lieutenant governor, is touring a por-
ton of eastern Washington this week
making numerous speeches largely de-
voted to exposing Bob Bridges, the
farmer-labor candidate for governor
Mr.. Coyle is widely known over the
state as a foot ball authority and an
ex-service man with record. He is a
straight shooter and in discussing Bob
Bridges public record hits from the
shoulder The following interview that
he gave out on the eve of his leaving
Seattle on his speaking trip should be
read and pondered over by every voter
of the state, as the statements therein
made are actual facts and cannot be
refuted. Mr.. Coyle does not mince
words as will be seen by reading the
following:
IF Robert Bridges stands four
square on the platform of his party,
he must be prepared to pay into the
state treasury the difference between
the present day value of his farm in
the White River valley which he leas-
ed to Japanese farmer and the price
of $12.5O and $500 per acre which
Mrs. Agnes Bridges paid for it after

Would it not be great thing if Georgia could
say that her people were wholly independent of cot
ton raising that they could prosper just as much
and never raise pound of cotton?
1t is possible and the time may yet come when
this is an actual fact, although it may not seem pro-
bable, for the boil weevil has already absolutely
blotted out every field of Sea Island or long stape
cotton which had been produced most abundantly
In certain counties in South Georgia.
The pink boil worm has now gained foothold in
the fields of Louisiana and if it ever gets scattered
as the weevil has been it means goodbye to cotton
growing with any profit in the south
Mr.. Farmer, won't you listen to the advice Of
one editor and start now to make yourself indepen
dent OF cotton growing? You can do it if you trv.
just as the farmers of Iowa and many other states
have done Some whole counties in our own state
are already practically quitting cotton and are pros
perlng as never before.
Make the change gradually don It wait until Won
are forced to change. Hit the boil weevil and the
PINK worm the first lick in this way. and thew will
never be able to strike back at YOU Safety first
is good rule for planning your crops as well as for
approaching railroad crossings. And remember. the
hrst lick is often more than half the battle.
