Rev. E. ]. Bulgin, VINO held a series
Of sensational revival meetings here
some years ago, using a temporary ta-
bernacle where the federal building
now stands, is holding revival at
Walla Walla. In his opening sermon
last evening he declared that not over
five per cent of the soldiers who serv-
ed overseas have been going to church
since their return home. The evange-
list criticised as hypocrites all who are
outside the church and he especially
flayed those who join lodges but do
not unite with any church.

MORE DEFIANCE

County officials elected last fall are
nearly all Republican because of the
g. o. p. landslide.
Bills are in the legislature in vari.
ous stages toward passage, extending
the term of those who were swept in
to Office in the wave that was nation
wide.
A republican legislature therefore
plans to lengthen the term of each of
those officials and to do it in a man
ner that no man man can justify.
There probably is no objection to
having county officers serve four
years instead of two, but the official
should be nominated and elected for
the four years and not be made a
present Of it because great maj
.ority of the offices in the state are
held~by one party, nor because the
Legislature is overwhelmingly held by
one party.
1t is merely another form of de-
fiance of popular wish and popular
rights, in which this legislature has
exceeded any that have preceded it.

A CHALLENGE TO DAVIS

Governor Davis makes the absurd
claim that selfish sinister interests"
are opposing the reorganization rip
per which he is attempting to force
through the legislature with emergen-
cy clause attached, thereby depriving
i the voters of their right to review and
pass upon it.
Senator Burke of this district de-
nounces the Governors statement as
, absurd, and in a public statement
called upon the Governor to o.cite zone
evil influence in the state that is fight
ing the BILL"
II challenge him to show wherein
the objections are not founded upon
perfectly stated grounds" declared
Senator Burke.
Senator Burke is one Of Gov. Davis
party in the Senate who is not afraid
to assert his opinion and who will
not bow down to the yoke imposed by
Davis, because he knows that the bill
is wrong in principle and because the
emergency clause deprives the voters
Of their rights. 4
How long will other members of the
Senate and House submerge their
manhood, ignore their oaths of office,
and jump through the hoop when
Ringmaster Davis cracks the whip?
The sinister thing aside from the
indefensible bill, is the use of state
patronage as a club to hold pie
counter-seeking legislators in line to
make this bill into a law in complete
disregard Of the rights of the people
and in defiance of statewide pro-
tests. 4
