EX-SERVICE men
WORK FOR BILL
Kennewick Richland Boys are
Making Campaign for Sol
diers' Compensation Law

If anyone is of the opinion that Ref
erendum No. 2, commonly known as
the Soldiers Bonus Bill, is going to
ego to the bat" in this community
without any interest being shown, now
is the time, to reverse that opinion.
Campaign committees have been or
ganized among the ex-service men OF
Kennewick and Richland for the pur-
pose of seeing to it that every voter
before he goes to the polls knows
what Referendum No. 2 is and knows
that the soldier boys are strongly in
favor of it's passage. Already there
have been circulated handbills asking
the voters to support the measure
and in the windows of most of the
business houses have appeared pla-
cards on which are an appeal for the
passage of the law.
In the Legion column in this issue
there is brief outline Of the provis-
ions of the referred law.

GROWERS ARE CALLED TO
MEET in CITY HALL
Plans for Attending Annual State
Conference to be Made Evening
of November 10.

In supplementing his announcement
of last week District Horticultural
Inspector F. E. Bailey gives out more
definite information concerning the
grade and pack meeting as follows:
"All growers and dealers in fruit
from Kennewick, Richland, Pasco,
Finley and Hover are requested to
meet at the city hall in Kennewick
on Wednesday, November 10th at 8:15

kane, December 16.

cordance with the tonnage shipped.

REPUBLICANS DON'T
VOTE 'ER STRAIGHT
Local Workers say to Carry Out
Slogan Means Defeat of Some
Deserving Democrats

Local republicans are not greatly in
sympathy with the national republi-
can slogan: "Vote 'er Straight" They
point out that in the state and county
campaigns the fight is not with the
democrats but with the new farmer
labor party and, that for the republi-
cans to vote straight ticket will
mean not so much the defeat of the
democrats as it will the victory of the
third party.
In this connection the case of coun-
ty assessor is cited. IF large num-
bers of the republicans vote straight
ticket next Tuesday it means the de-
feat of Assessor Ben Rupert and the
election of his farmer-labor opponent
The republicans have no candidate
for this office for the reason that
Mr.. Rupert has been very capable
official and it is generally felt that
he is deserving of second term re-
gardless of his party affiliations.
For these reasons local republican
workers have reversed the national
slogan and are urging members of
their party not to vote FER straight.

GOVERNOR HART RUNS
AHEAD OF HIS SCHEDULE
Is Denied Opportunity of Speaking
Here Because of an Error in
His Schedule

Owing to a misunderstanding be-
tween him and his advance man, Gov.
ernor Louis F. Hart was unable to
keep his speaking engagement in this
city last Friday afternoon.
The governor was advertised to
speak here at four o'clock but arrived
an hour ahead Of schedule and was
unable to remain over because OF his
speaking schedule in the towns farther
up the valley. For the same reason
he was unable to keep his engage
ment in Pasco.
Governor Hart made the most of the
mistake and utilized the short time he
was here to going up and down the
business streets meeting as many
people as possible. Had the schedule
been properly arranged. Governor
Hart would undoubtedly have had the
largest daytime crowd that has as.
sembled during the campaign.

WORKING TO HEAD OFF
&ARLETfFEVER EPIDEMIC
School Buildings Being Thoroughly
Fumigated During Institute
Vacation.


Every possible precaution to pre-
vent the spread of scarlet fever
among the pupils of the schools is
being taken, declared F. L. Fraser,
clerk of the board today. Taking ad-
vantage of the five days intermis-
sion on account of the annual teach
ers' institute, the board is having
every room in the buildings fumigat-
ed and every teacher has received
implicit instructions to keep strict
lookout for the first symptoms OF
illness among the children and te
send the children home and to re.
port any indications of contagious
diseases promptly to the health au.
thorities.
To date Mr.. Fraser said cases o1
scarlet fever had been reported il
the Lampson, Gray, Schuster ant
Byrd homes. He is of the opinion
that the disease can be controlled be
fore it becomes epidemic and without
closing the schools.
