asked to run the Democratic presi-
DENTAL campaign is a ''little shaver"
physically, but apparently measures
up to all major league specifications
as a political fox.
Shaver, who managed Davis pre-
convention campaign, never let it
loom. as a threat to other hopeful
would-be candidates. He maintained
it always as a sort of "last resort"
candidacy, which in no way inter-
fered with the fights being made
to build up support for McAdoo and
Smith, or even Ralston, Underwood
or Glass.
He didn't allow the Davis boom
to push or crowd, or to get puffed
up unduly to a size where it might
invite the 'barbed hatpins of jealous
rivals.
Shaver didn't swell around the
corridors of the Waldorf or the
aisles of Madison Square Garden,

Ezra Meeker today is SO years

living man who, as an adult, had a
Part in the founding of the COM
monwealth now known as the state
of Washington. He has crossed
the continent, three times by OK
team and once by automobile with
schooner" equipment mounted on
the chassis. On that trip he jour
neyed 1850 miles from Olympia to
Washington, D. c., to obtain ma
terial for a report to submit to
congress showing the probable
cost of building a national military
highway across the continent.
That trip took him about one
tenth of the time required on his
first journey, when he took five
months in reaching the Pacific
coast. Ezra Meeker has lived
Pacific northwestern history. AS
"a nono-genarian trancontinental
traveller he hasa unique record.
He has seen virtually the entire
development of Washington, hav-
ing been a continuous resident
here. Recalling the primitive
methods Of travel when he made
his first trip, the development of
, transportation stands out among
the interim.
A journey that took Ezra Meek
CT and his associates five months
of hardship is done by railroad to-
Gay in luxury in less than five
days. BY automobile it can be
done in comfort in twenty days
and an airplane recently made the
transcontinental hop, coast to
coast, in less than twenty-four
hours. This is but one of the ad-
vancements in the span of one
mans life. - Spokane Spokesman
