the RED CROSS
HAS ROLL CALL
THE RED CROSS HAS WORK TO
DO EVEN THOUGH THE WAR
is OVER
Outline of Work Done By Local
Branch Whose Roll Call viii
Be Nov. 11-25

The Red Cross organizations
fourth annual roll call will be Nov.
11-25. At this time everyone will
be given an opportunity to either
renew their membership or become
a member of the Red Cross This
roll call at this time is nation wide
and will be conducted in this county
by all the local branches.
From Jan. 1st to Oct. 1st the Col
vile Red Cross has expended S498.90
for civilian relief in and around Col
vile. 1t has given assistance to 10
families b. furnishing them with
milk, groceries, bedding, clothing and
medical attention.
A public health center has been
established in Colville with an es-
pecially trained public health nurse
of the public. She will visit the
schools of the community and ex-
anime every child, and any physical
defects found in the child will be
brought to the attention of the par
ents.
With the approach of winter the
society expects many calls for as
sistance, so they will need the help
and cooperation of every one in the
community.
What Remains to he Done
The local Red Cross feels that
some of the people in the commun-
ty think that since the war is over
there is no further use for the Red
Cross, but there is still an army
of occupation comprising about $1,000
officers and men; there are many
hospitals in which soldiers are re-
covering from the effects of the war
and these will have to be continued
for several years. The public health
service is good work which must
be kept up.

G. w. Kildow has purchased new
Ford truck for the purpose of haul

Little Pend Oreille about 2R miles
from Arden, C. M. Baker accom-
panied by Geo. Walsh attempted to
turn around in narrow, road and in
so doing knocked down part Of a

REPUBLICANS
WIN ELECTION
NATION, STATE AND COUNTY
GO HEAVILY FOR G. o. p.
CANDIDATES
Sheriff Only Democrat Elected in
Stevens County-Returns Slow
in Coming

The sweep of Cox sentiment which
was reflected in the predictions of
national political. writer's did not
seem to produce many votes for
democratic candidates throughout the
country. Harding and Coolidge are
elected by an immense majority.
The next congress will be heavily
republican, in both house and senate
The Fifth district of Washington has
reelected J. Stanley Webster by about
10000 plurality. The state legisla-
ture will again be almost solidly re-
publican. Stevens county returns to
the republican fold, Sheriff w. H.
Graham being the only democrat
elected, and he being elected by re-
publican votes in the absence of a
regular republican candidate.
The "nonpartisan menance" failed
to materialize, the vote falling far
short of predictions.
The Carlyon road paving bill loses
heavily but the soldiers bonus bill
wins
In Stevens county the vote of 62
out of 68 precincts was approximate
ly as follows: Harding Bats, Cox
400, farmer-labor 900.
Republican county ticket 2600,
democratic county ticket 1900, non
partisan county ticket, 1850.
w. H. Graham, democrat foi sher-
iff,. wins by 400 or more over Craw-
ford, nonpartisan. Joe Hudspeth,
nonpartisan for commissioner, had
400 over Haskins, democrat. In this
vote it is claimed that contest will
be made against the nonpartisans, as
his name was printed on stickers and
placed in the farmer-labor column,
in addition to his name being print
ed in the republican column on the
official ballot, thus giving him a
double advantage.
The official count in the county,will
be made next week and full report
will be given in next weeks EXamin-
er.

In tho Current Of Political News

campaigned with the letter from Allen
for two weeks, and had shown it to
hundreds of voters in the Colville
valley, the work of issuing such
handbill at the last minute was not
commendable piece of political
strategy, as too many voters already
had seen the letter from Allen, or
had read about IL in last weeks Ex-
aminer. The editor of the States
man-Index disclaimed any knowledge
of the matter, except that it had
been entered as regular piece of
job printing by the officers of the re-
publican county central committee,
and he had no reason to doubt its
Legitimacy. l.. f. Jesseph, republ-
can county chairman, stated that he
had communicated with Mr.. Allen and
with Governor Hart and had been
told to brand it as falsehood. In
asmuch as the letter is still in the
possession of Mr.. Weatherman,
readers must draw their own conclu
sions.

Prediction betting was not siren
uous in Colville, yet a little money
changed hands. Some was even upon
Webster and Fleming. Some that
Webster would carry the county by
$50. Some even up on Hardesty and
Trcmblay. Some even up on Open
heimer and Savage. A number Of
small bets on varying questions were
taken by both sides. An offer of $25
that the nonpartisans would not cast
1850 votes in the county remained
untaken.

Last week letters were received in
Stevens county stating that Senator
Harding was descended from a
mulatto father and black grand
father. Newspaper reports announc-
ed that these letters had been sent
throughout the country. Inquiry from
national and state democratic head
quarters elected the statement that
they knew nothing about it. Asso-
ciated press reports gave the state
ment that this same argument has
been used against Harding in his
previous political campaigns in Ohio
Prof. VIM. f. Chancellor of the
faculty of Wooster college, Wooster
Ohio, whose name was signed to the
genealogical statement, was fired from
his job on Oct. 90 because of his con-
nection with the matter. Eastern
papers were filled with articles on
this subject, republican papers claim
ing that democrats were responsible,
and democratic papers and Cox head
quarters denying that they had any
knowledge of it.

The total registration in Stevens
county was 7340. There are 50 pre-
cincts, but there were no registra-
tions in Conwell precinct, hence it is
likely that the commissioners will
strike that precinct from the list
hereafter. West Chewelah had the
greatest registration. 587. Nigger
creek had the smallest registration
II, with Williams a close second with
12 registrations. The 1920 census
gives these 50 precincts a total popu-
1ation of 21,605. In 1918 the total
vote of the 50 precincts was 1866.
The 1920 primary vote was 1898.

Who cast the ballots against the
soldiers bonus? Some one at the
courthouse remarked that ait was
those d nonpartisans." Yet in
two wards of Colvillc it was repub-
licans, and reports from other pre-
cincts, and even some of the votes
themselves, show that the republicans
were the ones who largely disfavor
this payment In fact, the republi-
can Legislature set the example for
refusal of payment.

Last Friday and Saturday MINI
eographed letter was sent to some
voters in Colville and Chewelah and
perhaps elsewhere, advising them not
to vote for the five Catholics named
on the list--and the first name on
the list was that of Congressman j..
Stanley Webster, who does not hap
pen to be a Catholic. The name Of
Chester r. Wiley was also on the list,
and he does not ~happen to be a
Catholic. The five names on the list
were, however, all republicans. Demo-
cratic Catholics were not mentioned.
The letter was signed "a Protestant"
The authorship of the letters has
not been learned up to this time.
Seeing that the tendency of the let
ter might have been to influence
protestants to vote against the five
republicans, the editor of the Ex-
aminer made a considerable search
in democratic ranks in an effort to
learn the source. No democrat was
found who knew anything about it
The inference was then possible that
it had a republican source, in order
to so embitter voters against such
"a practice as to cause them to vote
solidly for all republicans. Conse-
quently the republican ranks have
been searched, but no source has been
located.

In 16 presidential elections in the
last Ga years, only once has the party
with the smaller campaign fund won
at the polls; that was, in 1916, when
Wilson's campaign fund was only
half that of Hughes. In every other
election the larger-fund has brought
home the bacon"
In three times out of the Is cleo
tions the democrats have had the
largest campaign fund-Cleveland
sssice and Wilson the first time. In
all other elections since 1856 the re-
publicans have had the larger fund
In 1920 the republican fund was
something like times that of the
democrats, and the landslide is in pro-
portion.
