Senator Jones Is Safe
Wesley Jones will be renominated
for reelection to his seat in the SEN
, ate Tuesday. Jones is not making a
campaign, but his record will win
him the place by big majority
Governor Race Close
Hart, Hartley or Conan will win
the nomination for governor. We
can understand how Hart might cap
ture the nomination from an old-fash-
ioned convention, looking for safe
man who will take orders, but it's
hard to see how he can win when all
the people. have say in the matter.
Gellatly of Wenatchee would be a
winning candidate for the Repub-
licans, but we are afraid he will be
back of the front carriages in the
parade Tuesday.
Coyle for Lieutenant Governor
William ]. Coyle should be elected
lieutenant-governor over the field of
politicians seeking that place. Coyle
is progressive. square and has always
been fighter for better government
He left his wife and babies to go to
France where he won medals for
bravery. We ask you to vote tor
Coyle.
Clark Savidge, OF Course
Clark Savidge, Commissioner of
Public Lands, is recognized as the
best servant of the State. Savidge
watches over the millions of acres of
the State as carefully as if he had
deed to them. He will be reelected
Local Mud Distributed
In the Ferndale Record, Everson
Valley Home and the Blaine Journal
last week, several columns of mud
was splattered by the hackers of w.
II. Pemberton for judge, the di;rep-
utable shower being intended for w.
P. Brown. The Tribune was asked
to insert the same stuff as paid ad-
vertising. 1t refused. We know OF
no reason why candidates sor the
bench should adopt gutter tactics to
win votes.
Sam Barrett for County Auditor
Sam Barrett, deputy county aud
itOr for eight years, is seeking the
nomination for auditor. Barrett is
hard worker, is absolutely square,
just missed winning out four years
ago, and carried the Lynden district
at that time. He hasn't been up this
way yet making an active campaign,
but his friends up here feei that he
deserves election and he will hold
their vote.
Some More Ruff Stuff
Walter A. Martin is distributing
pamphlets in his campaign for pros
ecuting attorney attacking Baldrey's
record. If candidates can't stand on
their own merits and conduct a de-
cent, clean fight, they need hardly
expect decent people to vote for them.
Al Callahan Likely Winner
AL Callahan is a likely winner in
the sheriff's race. Callahan has been
deputy for years, and understands
the work. He is fighter. Although
he had son in the service, he enlist

Club, and other veterans organiza-
tions.
Vote for Better Schools
Superintendents and school offic-

a change is needed in the office of
County Superintendent of Schools.
L. e. Robinson has been endorsed by
them. He should get a unanimous
vote in the Lynden district, which is
vitally interested in improving the
schools.
Miss Thornton for Treasurer
Miss Edith Thornton carried the
Lynden district four years ago when
she ran for treasurer. In the mean
time, she has been chief deputy, and
is more deserving than ever of Lyn-
den votes.
DIR. Mehlig For Coroner
DR.. Max Mehlig is the ''livest' man
in the race for coroner. We're voting
for him.
The Port Proposal
The port proposition will be voted
on in a preliminary way Tuesday. II
a large port could be built up at Bel
lingham, there is no doubt but that
the country districts would be greatly
benefited in financial way. A vote
for the measure Tuesday means only
