on a large white cloth and set up on a
1928 model automobile. This car, with
its two occupants. Candidate Homer T
Bone and his campaign manager, Saul
Haas, toured the State of Washington
during the hot-fought campaign last
Summer
From place to place they would frisk
over the smooth mountain roads, as fast
as the old car would mote. When they
came to the sleepy towns with wooden
sidewalks and shady trees they would
plug up 50-foot cable to the nearest
electric light socket and the loud
speaker, attached to an old Victrola
would blast forth their campaign song
Fifty Years From Now" Then, while
the future Senator and Mrs Haas were
in the grocery store, discussing the local
political situation, the Victrola would
reproduce past speeches of this colorful
man.
After the proprietor had rounded ur

the sonorous loud speaker, which could
be heard for two city blocks, Homer T.
Bone, magnetic, dynamic friend of the
people, would Jump on The car and

Party Split Results.
His opponent in the senatorial race
was Senator Wesley L.. Jones, veteran
Republican, who had served In the SEN

was opposed by Stephen Chadwick, who
represented the conservative Democratic
element of the State and who felt SC
bitterly about his fiery opponent thai
he later bolted his party and supported
Mr.. Jones.
. The campaign became vituperative
toward its close and the Republicans
said that II Mr.. Bone were elected il
would be because he had been swept In
on the Roosevelt tide. To his gratifi-
cation, he obtained 10000 more vote.

Of opposing elements in island politics.
Vicente Soto, chairman of the Civic

view of the part they played in the
enactment of Filipino independence leg

act has been "repudiated by the Filipino
people"
Official action by the Filipino govern
ment on the Hawes-C Cutting independ-
ence act has not yet been taken. Ac-
ceptance or rejection of the terms of the
act are expected to be voted at the
next session of the insular Legislature.
Soto also criticized members of the
Philippine Independence Commission in
Washington for "meddling with the ap-
pointment
The Daily Bulletin, American owned
newspaper, said editorially:
'Thc situation here relative to the
Hawes Cutting Hare act disqualif1es for
the governor generalship or the vice
governorship all such persons whose
name the measure bears"
Such an appointment, the Bulletin
said, would throw the Governors palace
into bitter controversy, adding:
'"The President would be charged
with taking sides and the campaign

ness of bringing about the disbarment
