EXPLAINS \
HIS STAND UPON
CLAYTON MEASURE

Pleading that lack Of sufficient
knowledge concerning the Clayton
picketing bill was the cause Of his
voting against the measure ct the
last session Of the Legislature, Sem
ator Oliver Morris, now seeking the
Republican nomination to succeed
himself IN that office, addressed the
Aberdeen Central Labor Council last
Friday night.
"It was my understanding that the
state measure was superfluons, as
the right to picket was granted in
the Federal measure" Senator Nor
ris said, .'but today I learned that the
bill must be ratified By the states
before Il can become effective. II /
am elected shall seek to atone for
my lack Of knowledge, and / hereby
pledge myself to do all that Is pos
sible to work in harmony with the
aims Of organised labor"
Senator Morris pointed out that on
two occasions he voted in favor Of
the measure providing funds for the
state institutions Of higher education,
and asserted that he is absolutely in
favor Of plans to enable the young
people Of the state to obtain all edu-
cation possible. He said that he sup
ports Governor Roland H. Hartley in
his fight against the timber inter-
ests" Of the state, and declared that
he is in favor Of declaring logging
railroads as common carriers.
The senator also pointed out that
he was largely responsible for the
$s4, 900, appropriations granted Grays
Harbor county by the last Legisla-
ture, and said that his position on
the roads and brige committee would
enable him to continue his good work
for this county if he is returned as
senator.

WEAVER UNPLEDGED
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Clarence Weaver, operator of q
service station at Elma, who seeks the
republican nomination as county COM
missioner from that district, an
nounced today that he is thoroughly
conversant with the affairs Of the
county, and will give the citizens hon
est and efficient service If he is nomi-
mated and elected.
Mr.. Weaver is one Of the county's
staunchest citizens. He has resided
in Grays Harbor county for seventeen
years, and during that time has been
in business in Oakville, Elma, Satsop
and Malone. He is one Of the best
known and most popular men in the
county and that is probably response
BILE for the fact that the most promi-
nent business men in both Elma and
Montesano are supporting him for the
office he now seeks. His capacity
for handling the affairs Of the office
Of county commissioner in a most
efficient manner without being affil-
lated with any particular political
groups or faction, is beyond question.

.RICHARD STANDS
FOR GOOD ROADS

That the highest standard Of high
ways will play a most important
part in the future development of
Grays Harbor county, and that, if
elected, he will devote all possible at
tention to this phase Of public duty,
is the statement Of Charles H.
Rychard, candidate for the republican
nomination for county commissioner
from the Third district.
"The best possible roads for Grays
Harbor" viii be Mr.. RICHARDS slogan
in office, he announced yesterday in
reply to inquiry of taxpayers for a
statement Is to his attitude regarding
highway improvements.
"A residence in Grays Harbor Of 26
years, during which / have kept in
very close touch with every section,
have covered nearly every spot in
the county and have carefully watched
progress and requirements, places me,
] believe, in a position to cater to
what taxpayers may need and are en-
titled to-" said Mr.. Rychard. 81 real

travel to markets and to trading CEN
ters, while residents Of the cities like
wise must be provided with satisfac-
tory highways so they can reach our
beaches and outing resorts in comfort
and safety.
II am not casting reflection on the
work Of citizens who have held the
post Of county commissioner in the
past and who hold such office at
present. All have been conscientious
and have given unsparingly of their

By WILLIAM GREEN

To issues Of far-reaching import
ance should be emphasized Labor Day.
They are:
II An Intensive trade u1ion organi-
Eation campaign.
2. The Non-Partisan Campaign Of
the American Federation Of Labor.
Wherever Labor Day is celebrated,
and from reports this win be almost
universal, agitation should be renewed
for a vigorous continuance Of the cam
paign to organize every wage Garner
eligible to membership in trade
union.
The experiences Of those who in
many states exhibited "Labor's Re-
ward" the moving picture outlining
the success Of the American labor
movement, clearly demonstrate that
hundreds Of thousands Of wage earn
ers are anxious to organize.
Speakers at Labor Day demonstra-
tions would do we'll to urge every
member Of trade union to appoint
himself a committee Of one to seek
new members.
Unions that have adopted this
policy have gained in membership.
Members Of unions who have relied
upon the officers alone 70 accomplish
results have not been 50 successful.
It is therefore necessary for the
rank and file of all unions to under
stand that it is their duty to aid their
officers at all times in the work of
organization.
The present stable conditions en-
joyed by the organized wage earners
of America were not voluntarily con-
ceded by employers. They are the re-
suit Of organization, Of years Of
struggle and sacrifice. until collective
bargaining became the recognized
vehicle through it was possible to
maintain industrial peace.
Organized labor is recognized
institution. The right to organize is
not questioned. No reason can be adj
vanced, therefore, why every union
should not be 100 per cent organized.
It all depends upon the willingness of
the members to perform their share
Of organization work.
The Importance Of selecting men,
bers Of congress who viii be true to
their constituents and to the people
generally cannot be over-estimated.
Thirty-four senators and 435 members
Of the house Of representatives are to
be elected.
There is hardly congressional dis
trict in the United States in which
the voters cannot nominate and elect
forward-looling representative. It
Is Is doubtful il there is a state
in which q senator cannot be nomi-
mated and elected who viii be true
to the people. The only obstacle will
be the failure Of the wage earners to
vote for the most acceptable eandi-
dates.
Members Of the house Of represen-
tatives should Be elected who will
refuse to permit three men to dictate
what legislation shall be considered
and voted upon. Il Is 8 dictatorship
repugnant to our democratic institn-
tons and those responsible should be

GRAYS HARB0R FAIR
OPENED THURSDAY

with the opening Of the sixteenth
annual Grays Harbor county fair,
Thursday, has been amply demon
strated the wisdom OF the fair man-
agement's action IN providing greater
space for this years exhibits. Cattle
building and poultry building both
were practically doubled in size, and
both are full to eapacity.
This IS true as to all Of the fairs
dozen structures, most Of which are
utilized for exhibits. The agriculture
building contains the greatest ASSEM-
blage Of farm products ever gathered
for the annual exposition at EIma.
There are some very fine community
displays, in especial, Of agriculture
and horticultural products. The Boys
and Girls All clubs, too have exceed
ingly interesting exhibits, the former
specializing in poultry, swine, sheep.
calves and garden products, the latter
in clothing, meal preparation and
hme management.
Much careful work Is evidenced in
the women's departments in the two
story fine arts building. Here are to
be seen displays Of textiles, oil and
water color paintings, hand painted
china, flowers. canned foods and culi-
nary achievements. In this building
plso is fine public schools exhibit.
The full story Of Crays Harbor COM
munity health is well told through
displays Of posters and pictures. The
annual baby clinic, opening Thursday,
runs three days, and is proving aA
usual Of notable utility to mothers.
Two other interesting buildings are
those devoted to displays Of manufac-
turers and merchants, end the handi-
craft Of union labor in the Labor build
ing. The sheep and swine building
also has large and comprehensive ex-
hibits this year.
OF equal wisdom with the enlarge
ment Of exhibit buildings is proved the
decision Of the fair management to
add bleachers at the race track for the
1926 fair. A thousand spectators are
accommodated on these very comfort
able seats, in addition to the seating
capacity Of the grandstand Of 1900.
The four days racing program.
opening Thursday, is about the best
ever provided for Grays Harbor. Some
80 horses are entered, there being a
trot and pace each day, with overnight
entries for running races. In addi-
ton to the notable entries from this
state, Oregon, Montana, and British
Columbia, some speedy California
horses are seen in action for the first
time here.

ABOUT THRIFT PLAN

Announcing that Aberdeen repre-
sentatives for the Brotherhood Coop
erative bank Of Tacoma are soon to
be appointed here, L. e. Sizer, repre-
senting the bank, addressed the Cen
tral Labor Council last Friday. Mr..
Sizer said that two representatives
have already been named in Hoquiam,
while several persons here are under
consideration for similar appoint
ments.
Mr. Sizer devoted most Of his talk
to a description Of the assured thrift
plan Of the bank. This plan, he said,
was devised for the convenience Of
the working man, enabling him to save
small sums weekly. These savings,
when they reach q certain amount, are
invested in real estate and first mort
cages, thus giving the working man
q substantial return on his money.
Mr.. Sizer pointed out that the first
Brotherhood bank was founded in
Cleveland, Ohio, six years ago, and
since then has spread all over the
nation. The banks have won the re-
spect and confidence Of the financial
leaders Of the country as well as that
of the working man, and are destined
for a great future, he asserted.

The issue from now until election
should be how to arouse the voters,

that i they desire a congress that will

It is not question Of party politics,
it is q question Of the men and the
