HARTLEY MEN SEEK CON-
troll OF THE SENATE

and finds is easy to believe that
the lieutenant governor finally de-
cided that business rather than
politics would best enable him to
provide comfort for his family.
johnson retires with one inter
esting record. He is the first lieu
tenant governor of Washington
to retire without having first Of
ficiated as governor. Some of his
predecessors became governors,
notably M. E. Hay and Louis Hart.
ssWee" Coyle frequently acted as
governor, going SO far as to grant
pardons, but Johnson never sat In
the governors chair.
The reason of course, is that
Governor Hartley would not leave
the state. Once, during the 1925
legislative session, Hartley went
to Portland and, in accordance
with the constitution, sent a tele-
gram to johnson in Olympia, but
the lieutenant governor, it being
Sunday, went on a motor trip to
Seattle, and returned to find that
he had been acting governor with

out knowing it. In the meanwhile,
Hartley crossed the Columbia Tiv-
er and was back home.
Then came the interesting an
gle. It will be recalled that Matt
Hill. Seattle, suggested in letter
to former Washington university
man in Vancouver that Hartley
might be invited to the Canadian
city to make speech, when john
son might be induced to call a
special session of the legislature
for the impeachment of Hartley.
johnson denied that he was aware
OF the suggestion, while Hill said
enslund.
it was just a joke. Nevertheless,
Hartley became suspicious and
would not leave the state, and only
last week the governor declined
to arrange a meeting in Salem
with Oregon officials because, he
indicated he did not want john
son performing as governor.
Of course, this stuff might all
be hooey, as it were, but the point
is johnson has not officiated as
governor and will probably not
get a chance to be acting govern
or.
Senator Dill has finally an
nounced as candidate for re-
lection, subject, of course, to ac-
tual filing, and primarily to indi-
cate Indifference to the looming
nomination of Governor Smith.
Dill is banking on two factors
that this state is progressive and
eager to hear the beating of the
progressive drum, and that the
split over Governor Hartley will
grow wider and rebound to his
benefit.
Prohibition is a stickler, how
ever. Dill, in announcing his can
didacy, said he would vote in the
Senate to uphold prohibition. But
Smith is regarded as wet. So it
will be interesting to see. If the
senator files, how dry Dill and
wet Smith will manage to get
along on the same ticket.

Despite heat and hectic activity
the building of the dam has pro-

The bathing beach was an after

few hours.
All had been concentrating upon
the building Of the dam. Farmers
were building q butte of rocks.
About 200 big loads were piled on
the river banks. Dray teams were
donating the labor hauling lumber.
Two troups Of Boy Scouts were mob
ilized to move rocks into the river.

Letting committee of business men

they furnish several carloads Of
gravel for the bathing beach? The
Milwaukee would. w. l.. Gardner
would donate an acre Of land.
But there must be shade near the
beach. The state would furnish
shelter-belt trees. Someone would
have to purchase a few acres Of
