REVOLT AGAINST. HARTLEY BREAKS. IN WASHINGTON
Three Republican Papers Declare for Scott Bull
 lit for Governor

SEATTLE, Sept. 13.-A Republi- can revolt against Gov. Roland II. Hartley, who was renomlnated in Tuesdays primary, was indicated by the editorial announcements of three Republican daily newspapers in widely separated parts of the State that they would support A. Scott Bullitt, the Democratic nominee, for election as governor.
 The Seattle Times, the Walla Walla Bulletin and the Vancouver Columbian yesterday all contained editorials yesterday evening de- claiing that they could and would not support Gov. Hartley and that Scott Bullitt. the Democratic nomi- nee, was capable, progressive and fair and would make an excellent chief-executive of the State. They urged their readers to vote for him.
 Hartley Loses Slate
 Gov. Hartley's slate for State of ficers was shattered when the pub lie renominated Attorney General Dunbar. Secretary of State Hinkle, Land Commissioner Savidge, and Auditor Clausen and nominated As sistant Treasurer Hinton for Treas urer, defeating Hartley selections in each instance. G9i Hartley won only in the case of State Su- perintendent of Public Instruction Josephine Corliss Preston, who was defeated for renomination. Gov Hartley has carried on insis- tent warare against all these State officials
 Hartley Has Legislature
 In, the legislative nominations Gov. Hartley seems to have been more successful, displacing vet erans in both the Senate and the House. The changes will probably give Gov. Hartley undisputed con trol of the House of Representa- tives and strengthen his hold on the State Senate.

DECLARES WEST AGAINST SMITH,;

Capper Says West Does Not Not Want Wet Ad-
 mlnistrator, Tammany

NEW YORK, Sept 13.-United States Senator Arthur Capper, Republican of Kansas, told an audience today at the Hoover Curtis Club that Gov Alfred E. Smiths extreme and untenable position on Prohibition" as well as Tammany utilization, made it impossible for Democratic can didate to win in the West.
 Senator Capper said: "The West does not want a wet Ad- ministrator They feel that pro- hibition is. economically sound and morally right and no amount of propaganda or trying to set up a different issue is going to fool them. Gov Smiths plan for State control of liquor has no support in the agricultural States"
 Senator Capper declared the West opposes Gov. Smith be- cause of his Tammany affilia- tions. Our folks believe Tammany is associated with saloon rule, booze and all social vices, besides political graft.
 ''ln my judgment, Gov. Smith was strongest on the day he was nominated. He caught the pub lie eye. He was spectacular and dynamic figure but upon analysis of his connections, inter- est in Smith Jagged in the Mid dle West. Interest in Smith to- day is to insure that he not be elected. He is fine man and able executive but Smith doesnt t fit our ideals"

'On this opening day of the Sev- enth Annual Fair of the Southeast ern Alaska Fair Association it is well for us to be reminded of the aims of the organization and to inquire whether or not we are contributing our share to assure the success of the undertaking. said Gov. George A. Parks. at the formal opening of the Southeast ern Alaska Fair last night at 8 o'clock. He continued:
 "0n sssopening day of the' Seventh Annual Fair of the South eastern Alaska Fair Association ii is well for us to be reminded Of the aims of the organization and to inquire whether or not we are contributing our share to assure the success of the undertaking.
 TwofoId Purpose
 "I believe that the Fair has a twofold purpose; first, to encour- age the development of agriculture and demonstrate it's possibilities in Alaska, especially in the South eastern Section of the Territory, second, to stimulate the consump- tion of Alaska grown produce.
 "If these fairs help to achieve these purposes they are well worth while and should be supported by the community. 1t must be con ceded that hey do encourage and foster agricultural develop ment because they instill intol each individual farmer and garden CT a desire to have the best ex- hibit here. He will strive to i'm prove the quality of his produce and even though he may not re- ceive the highest award this year he will be inspired to greater ef- forts in the future. There is an- other way in which these exhibi- ] tions contribute to the develop ment of farming. There are many varieties of vegetables and grains and some are more suitable than others for our local conditions The best varieties may be de- termined only by experimenting under actual growing conditions. Every farmer will try that variety of seed which he believes is best
  adapted to the soil in his section, and when he compares his pro- ducts with those of his neighbor at this Fair, each will benefit from the experience of the other Thus in a short time no effort will be wasted in attempting to grow in- ferior crops.
 Produce Disposition
 "The success of the farmer and the extent to which agriculture will be developed depend almost entirely on his ability to dispose of his produce, and on each com munity rests the responsibility for his success or failure in this phase of his undertaking. He may grow the best quality of garden produce and he may cultivate a large acre. age, but 1t will be useless and his efforts will be wasted unless he can sell his crops. These exhib- it's should demonstrate, if that isl necessary. to every one who sees them that the very best quality of garden truck may be purchased from the farmers in this locality. We are under an obligation 10 them and the best way to help them and encourage further de- ,velopment is to demand their pro ducts when we are buying in the markets.

With the consent of Senator
Capper, chairman of the SEN
ate District Committee, the
Bureau of Efficiency has
abandoned its proposed valua-
ton of the local public ut1li-
ties.
Instead of doing this work, for
which it is not equipped, the bureau
will make an intensive and expert
ANALYSIS of the existing valuation,
including that of the Capital Trac-
ton Company submitted to the
courts, and bring in a report to the
Senate next winter.
The understanding that no re-val-
nation Is to be undertaken was
reached by the Bureau OF Efficiency
as the result of an extended consider
alton of all the factors in the investi-
CATION which 1t. has been asked to
make. The proposal that the Inter
state Commerce Commission be
called upon to value the traction
company was aba ndoned as imprac.

Among the elements in the trac-
tion situation which the bureau will
study will be the development of
