A. r. GARDNER
ON THE JOB
Courier : Reporter Editor
Visits All Corners of
State for Hartley

A. r. Gardner is learning the geo.
graphy of the state of Washington,
at the same time getting acquaint-
ed with about as many people as are
the candidates for governor them
selves. Since Mr.. Gardner enlisted
in the service of Col. Hartley lie
has succeeded in not only getting
much publicity for his candidate but
is being called on to take the plat
form in many counties.
The majority of men who follow
politics closely are predicting the
nomination Of Col. Hartley who was
almost a winner four years ago.
Hartley this year seems to have more
strength than before, and it is point
ed out that in field of ten cam
didates, his chances are greatly in
creased, especially since he has re-
ceived the active support of A. R.
Gardner and Duncan Dunn, both of
whom had much support themselves
as prospective candidates for the gov
ernorship.
Mr.. Gardner has this week spoken
in Spokane and Seattle and today he
will represent Col. Hartley at a big
Tacoma rally given by the Young
Mems Republican club of that city.
Before leaving Kennewick last Sat
urday Mr.. Gardner said that Hartley
was gaining every day. ellis support
does not come from any clique or
faction" said Mr.. Gardner, cas- Hart
ley has refused to seek endorsement
from any organized minorities, but
the people are beginning to realize
that this is just the type of man we
should have as governor. Hartley
has only one ambition, and that is TO
have his fellow citizens point to him
as great governor. The more I
see of Hartley the more I feel that
he will make great governor. l
hope Kennewick gives him big vote.
Hartley carried Kennewick four
years ago and appreciates our friend
ship"

LAWYERS SUP
PORT JUDGES
Benton County Barristers
s. All For Main and
Mitchell

At an informal meeting Of the
Benton county Bar association held
yesterday at Prosser, a unanimous
opinion was expressed that both Main
and Mitchell, justice of the supreme
court, should be reelected to their
present offices.
This action by the lawyers of this
county is typical of the interest TAX
en- in this contest by lawyers in ev-
cry county of the state, who have
recently become alarmed at the Or
ganized efforts Of radicals to put
incapable radical judges on the su-
preme bench. All the lawyers Of all
political faiths in this county are for
Main and Mitchell and are asking
the people to call for the non-parti-
zan judicial ballot when they go 20
the booths on election day. They say
this fight is more serious than the
governorship contest, as they point
out that the l. w. w. would never
spend such large sums Of money with
out a definite program for ripping
the constitution to bits. ID
The local lawyers say that the at
tacks being made are based on moth
ing but falsehoods, and that propa-
ganda to the effect that Main and
Mitchell attended the last state bar
meeting and condoned the drinking
of liquor at banquet is absolutely
false. The local lawyers who attend
ed this banquet hotly deny this
charge. They say that absolutely
no liquor was served and the state
ment is pure fabrication put out with
a hope of dividing the better ele-
ment of this state.
One lawyer pointed out that if all
the lawyers Of the county can agree
on Main and Mitchell that the voters
should be satisfied that they are
mighty fine men.

Request By War Depart
ment Has Support Of
Local Organizations

The complete program for observ-
ance of Defenders Day has been

regular fair committee have outlin-
ed a program that will fully occupy
next Friday September IL.
The program will open with rev.
ellie at 8 o'cloclat when the whole
town will be asked to assemble ut
the city flag pole to observe the rails
ing of the flag. All homes are also
requested to have flags out before
that time.
At one o'clock in the afternoon
everyone is requested to assemble at
the Washington street grade school.
There a parade will be formed that
will march down Washington street
and up Second to the Methodist
church. From the church steps a pro-
gram will be held. This program will
consist of patriotic songs, prayer
by DR.. j. L. Aldrich; short talk
on health by DR.. A. G. Tullar and
a patriotic address by some local
speaker.
After these numbers the public is
requested to go to the fair grounds
and watch the contest between the
two local Boy Scout troops.
The time between four and six is
expected to be well occupied with
two kitty ball games in which Pros
ser, Pasco and Kennewick will COM
pete for the championship of this
district. These games will be for
blood.
At six o'clock the bugler will blow
retreat and the Defenders Day pro-

place.
This new service station will be
opened within month and the names
must be in the hands of the judges
by September 20. Gordon Moores,
George ID. Peters and Harry Vibber
are the judges and will select the

FAIR PLANS ....
COMPLETED
Committee In Change Pro-
misses Entertainment
for Everyone

e AT a special meeting Monday eve
ming, the fair committee completed
its program for the annual show
which will be held next Friday and
Saturday, and carpenters are now at
work on the lots between the Wash
ington Hardware and Sheppard's
Drug Store, where the displays will
be housed.
The fair this year will differ in
some respects from the show held
last year. There will be no buck
ing contests as the committee felt
that this feature could not properly
be staged as an annual event with
out heavy expense. 1t was therefore
decided to drop this feature at least
for this year. As substitute for
this feature the committee will con-
struct dance floor on the lot be-
tween Sheppard's and Bier's gar
age. Kerman's orchestra Of Spokane
has been engaged to play.
Barger Canyon will be staged as
usual behind the dance hall and many
ingenious ways are being devised to
separate the long green from the
curious public.
The best Kitty Ball teams of
Prosser and Pasco are invited to play
here Saturday in kitty ball tourn-
ament with a Kennewick team, the
teams drawing to see which two play
first, with the odd team playing the
winner of the first contest. A prize
of $500 is offered for the winner
of each game. These games should
furnish som real sport.
Another new feature will be the
Boy Scouts contest between the two
Kennewick troops. Prizes Of $40
flag and So worth of equipment have
been offered to insure keen competi-
ton. All the various stunts taught
scouts will be put on by the two local
troops.
The poultry department will this
year receive special attention, and
V. o. Price, an expert in this line,
will have charge. Mr.. Price is ar
ranging the prizes which are pub
lished in Price e. Lincoln's Dope
Sheet on the back page of this paper.
Mr.. Price wishes to be notified as
early as possible by all exhibitors
as to varieties and numbers of birds
that can be expected from those who
wish to enter exhibits.

MYRTLE stood upon the crazy veran-

ing down the straight, narrow foot
path, a sundering line across the
freshly plowed field, which led to the
village In the hollow below. The mol
dering white stone cottage from which
she had issued was set In q cleft Of
the pine-covered hills; 1t seemed to
struggle against its inborn ugliness
and to succeed only because Of the
beauty Of its setting-in the fore

ly trained vines and its quarter Of an
acre Of fragrant violets; the orchard,
pink and white with masses Of cherry
blossom; beyond, a level stretch OF
freshly turned brown earth, soon to be-
come delicate carpet of tender green,
and, by the time the vines should
sprout, sea Of deep gold. 1t was the
typical homestead Of the small French
peasant proprietor.

QUEEN CONTEST
TIME EXTENDED
Managers For All Candi-
dates Agree On Tues
day as Final Day

Just how many votes are being
held back by the supporters of the
different young ladies who are can
didates for the honor of being queen
at the fair, is very important ques-
ton being asked about town. This
much is generally known, however,
that all four of the candidates have
friends that are holding back sew
eral thousand votes. And this fact
was further brought out by the will
lingness of all the contestants to ex-
tend the period of balloting until
Tuesday evening at 10 o'clock.
One of the startling events of the
race has been the entry of dark
horse candidate who jumped to the
front today. This candidate is Miss
Elna Beste, and she has some very
live and active Supporters. MISS
Beste's supporters claim that the
regular organizations in town are too
dead to elect anything and, they
would show them how to elect
queen.
Miss Ila Campbell, who has charge
of the voting, reports the standing
of candidates as follows.
Elna Beste, Independent, 4,92o;
Helen Rickman of the Finley Grange
2,675; Ruth Smith, Commercial cluo
candidate, 1925 and Leila johnson
of the Epworth League, 1850.
