 WORD TO LEGION

New York, May 26.---A Memorial day message from President Wilson to
 American Veterans of the World War
 was received here today by the Aier- ican Legion weekly. It reads:
 we approach the annual ceIebra
 ton Of Memorial Day with our hearts filled with tendereSt and grateful memories of those who have given their lives for America The day has by custom been consecrated to the country's heroic dead. This is ob- served by those who were comrades in arms and who shared with the we'll rem em,bered dead the experiences, the hardshlps, the perilS and the glory of war; this is celebrated by the people of the country generally who take it as an annual occasion to renew their loyalty to the country and to draw fresh inspiration for the tasks of peace from the memory of the sac r.fices which were made so freely in times of war. The day is therefore filled with both memories of the past and Inspirations for the future. It
 gathers the traditions of what we have done in order that we may have the courage for what we have to do- tProSress moves like an army; It has it's days of training and prepara- ton. it's days of conflict and it's days of vindication; it has it's canpGres and its memories. To you who were soldiers of America in the great war

Race Against Labor Candidate,
James A. Duncan.

The people Of the entire state have
been watching with interest the ex.
citing campaign which resulte! in
nominating Hugh M. Caldwell and
James A. Duncan to make the final
race. Mayor Fitzgerald. who was

third in the race. Mai. Caldwell,
who had no newspaper support at all.
led by polling over $4,000 votes ia
the 26.O00 for Duncan and $1,000
for Fitzgerald.
Had. Fitzgerald won. there would
have bsen very strong probability OF
Duncan's election. for rightly OF
wrongly. 1t was thought he had the
backing OF the sinister interests that
would exploit Seattle for their pri-
vate gain and therefore more dan
gerous than radical labor leader
could be. Maj. Caldwell. on the
other hand, was considered the
golden mean between the two ex
treme views OF city government.
Councilmen Erickson, Lane and
Hesketh were the leaders for the
thru ee-year terms; Messrs. Drake
and Carroll for the short terms.

CAMP LEWIS HEADQUARTERS
FOR HEAVY ARTILLERY
Army Officers Interview Highway
of Hard Surfaced Roads.

Camp Lewis may be made a post
for heavy artillery. This intention
on the part of the war department
was indicated Tuesday. when army
officers representing Brig. Gen. Will
lam c. Davis of Camp Lewis called on
Highway Commissioner James Allen
to investigate state highways, with a
view as to whether or not the they
are substantial enough to hold the
heavy guns which will be brought to
Camp Lewis.
1t is planned 70 make Camp LIE Wis
the headquarters for guns. many of
which will weigh as much as 10000
pounds, and the war department Is
desirous of knowing whether the
present highways of Washington and
those proposed would hold up under
the weight of the guns. Commis-
sioner Allen assured the officers that
present and proposed highways and
bridges in the state are substantial
enough to hold the heavy artillery.
Investigation of highways in other
states. notably California, showed
that the highways would not hold up
under the weight of the heavy new
guns. the officers stated.

acquittal in the. case of each of the
men under trial. Judge Wilson dis
missed the case against Bert Faulk-
ner, one of the II defendants, ON the
grounds that there was no evidence
