ODLIN CLAIMS

rhe stay-at-home vote, which a.
mounted to more than 40 per cent
of the registration In the primaries
holds the fate of the Republican
ticket. Careful polls show that a
big majority of the non-voters ia
vor the election of Reno Odlin, Re-
publican senatorial nominee. IF
they are brought to the polls the
Odlin election will follow; without
it the fight will be closer. The Re-
publican organization and Demo-
Gratis who fear the introduction of
Sinclairism in this state if Schwei-
lenbach is elected, are making a
drive to get out the stay-at-home
voter. Success of this movement
depends upon cooperation in every
precinct of the state.
Califo-nia's determination to
block Sinclairism in the state of its
birth has made that issue of first

Washington's popular Congress-
man, Marion A. zioncheclS, who Is
seeking reelection as u. s. Repre-
sentative in the First COMPRESSION
al District, has made an enviable
record in Congress.
Achieving nationwide distincti-
on for his sincere and brilliant ad-
vocacy Of the peoples rights, Mar
ion A. zioncheck soon found him
self opposing wage cuts, because
he declares that low wages and
long hours of work can never lead
to recovery. In this connection It
is worthy of note that all of the
Congressman from the State Of
Washington supported zioncheck
in his opposition to cutting wages.
Zioncheck asserts that our Bank
ing System must be taken over by
the government In order to loosen
up credit facilities, and do away
forever with the possibility of fu-
ture Bank Failures. He believes In
adequate Old Age Pensions, not as
an act of charity, but as a duty
which our government owes to the
veterans of both work and war
for services rendered. Zioncheclx
defends the claims of the unem-
ployed because he believes that the
millions who are unable to find
work should be adequately cared
for on a minimum basis of health
and decency.
He proposes that the profit shall
be taken out of the manufacture
of ornaments, and that our Gov
eminent plants should make all of
our war SUPPLIES, because he be-
lieves that would be the best way
of promoting peace.
He is opposed to the Rule Of Big
Business, and an irreconcilable
fighter against all forms of social
and economic injustice.
The First Congressional District
(Which comprises the City of Seat
tie and Kitsflp County, should re-
urn zioncheek to Congress because
of his excellent record In the last
and because he has
proved himself a friend of the peo-
pie.
A leader of the New Democracy,
he believes that this rich country
has enough to provide good living
standards and a Plan of Plenty for
all

Waging strong campaign for
county engineer, Joseph i. Dodd,
democratic nominee for that posi-
ton, has based his entire campaign
on bringing efficiency and money
saving methods to that important
office. To date he has received
not only the endorsement of the en-
tire Democratic Party but also the
endorsement of several other inn
portant taxpayer groups including
the Central Labor Council.
Joseph Dodd's entry into this
campaign in the first place was
urged by group Of prominent en-
gineers both Ia the city and coun-
ty who were DESTROYS of having an
engineer represent their affairs in
the county engineers office instead
of the usual politician.
Dodd is qualified by education
and experience to hold that posi-
ton. Being a graduate of the u.
of w. and after that having serv-
ed as an instructor of engineering
at that school for more than three
years. He also was employed by
the city of Seattle engineering de-
partment for over six years as in
spector.
Among come Of the measures he
proposes when elected to the coun-
ty engineers office is that he will
insure adequate flood and river
control for the outlying districts
who have up to now suffered seri-
GUS damages by the annual over
flow of rivers. He viii maintain
the county roads so that better
transportation and motor travel
may be realized. Apart from this,
labor will for the first time in ma
NY years, find a sympathetic and
friendly attitude under his super
vision. Jobs will be evenly distri-
buted throughout the county with
preference given to local men on
all jobs.
Joe Dodd is a native son of the
state of Washington, born at Pres
colt, November 80, 1893. He is
also a war veteran having served
eighteen months of active service
over seas. He is married and has
one child and resides at his home
IN the north district of the city.

Carl e. Armstrong. candidate
tor county assessor, has received
endorsements of many non-parti-
san organizations as a result Of
thorough investigation of all car
didates. These endorsements have
been made, regardless Of party, for
the purpose that they might be in
sfrumental IN electing those who
are best qualified for the offices
they seek.
OF all county offices, that of
county assessor Is the most i'm
pol ssat in our scheme of govern
ment. II was pointed out. Exper-
fence with the affairs Of a highly
technical office such as that OF
county assessor is very essential,
and with that, if the candidate has
shown exceptional ability and has
proven himself absolutely honest
and trustworthy, no inexperienced
opp0rtunist should be considered
Among the many nvn-partisan
organizations when have endorsed
Armstr9ng for assessor are The
Municipal League, TTuitCd Veterans
King County Forum, Associated
Veterans, Peoples Good Govern
ment League, Tho alian-American
Courcil, and Brotherhood Of Loco
motive Firemen and Engineers.
Carl E. Armstrong has had twen-
ty-five years of real experience
with the problems of the assessors
office: that he has efficiently per-
formed the duties Of every import
ant position in the office and thru
ability and devotion to his chosen
work has become chief deputy.
Taxes on real estate. according
to official records in the office,
have been reduced in the past three
years through the lowering of the
tax rate and the reduction of pro-
perty almost 40 percent.
In the property value reductions,
from nineteen to twenty-one per-
cent has been given by the assess
or on all properties including land
and homes and 10 per cent has
been allowed by the board Of
equalization on home building only.

BILLSEARS
IS CONFIDENT

The election Of William II. Sears
as sheriff of King County Is assur-
ed according to the polls being ta-
ken IN Seattle and King County,
showing him far in the lead Of his
rival candidate.
isrhis.p said A. G. Girard, is the
best evidence that the people Of
King County desire to reward an
honest faithful servant for the ma
ny years Of diiigent work between
the honest, home-loving people and
the criminal element.
THE people must vote for the
man at this coming election and
they. must inquire into the honor
and integrity Of these candidates
with the same care IS If they were
hiring them to run their personal
business.
IAN honest, conscientious, efti-
cient sheriff will do more to stop
the looting of the King County
Treasury than any other official,
this is the reason the people Of
King County realize that their pro-
perty, lives, and homes viii be best
protected IN the selection of Mr.,
Sears as their sheriff.
Mr.. Sears has proven qualifica-
tons far beyond his opponent. The
people Of King County have never
repudiated an administration uu-
der which Mr.. Sears worked, but
they have repudiated two admins
trations under which his opponent
has been the moving factor in the
operations of the city under these
discredited administrations"

HART KNOWS
CLERK WORK

A public office supported by tax
payers money should be conducted
in the same efficient manner as a
private business enterprise, ac-
cording to Ben T. Hart, Republi-
can nominee for County Clerk.
In support of this statement Mr..
Hart points out that the County
Clerks office is entirely self sup
porting, and this year is earning
for the taxpayers of King County
more than $4,000, 900 above the
cost of operation.
Twenty-Five years of experience
and training in every department
of this office have given Mr.. Hart
a knowledge of the law and legal
procedure, which is necessary in
handling the business of our Sup
erior Court.

"This was the horne of William
Bolcom, wealthy sawmill owner.
What valuation do you think was
placed on this home? $4,000? No!
The assessed valuation was 5000.
The tax on this magnificent man

Misener also pointed out that
aone of the Al deputies, or the
chief clerk, paid any personal pro-
perty tax in 1882, even though they
owned and operated automobiles.
II propose scientific revaluation
of the entire county," said Misen-
err THE most efficient men avail

chairman of the Tax Equalization
Board I secured a 10 percent re-
duction for them"

nor ZEE for county auditor, today
bra. Asd the campaign tactics Of
his opponent as .'mud-siinging re-
sulting from desperation over his
own weaknesses, particularly that
brought out in the recent garbage
suit testimony.
His statements are ridiculous
and silly to those who know any
thing at all about the auditors Of
flee or know the auditors duties.
At the same time they reveal an
obvious lack of knowledge by the
same man who is cIamoring for
election to the office" Mr.. Thon1-
as continued.
Mr.. Thomas welcomes a compar
ison of his record and his oppon-
ent's. He cites the performance Of
the auditors staff under his lead
ership as chief deputy during the
past eight years and the favorable
report by a Democratic state audi
tor.
IF it is efficiency, honesty and
accuracy that voters of King Coun-
ty want, I have no fear of the out
come of next Tuesdays election"

Use Of Salmon Traps
It is recalled that in 1928
Judge j. n. Ellis of Vancouver
after an exhaustive commission
inquiry at the request of the
Dominion Government, recon-
mended that:
f--saImon traps should be utiI-
lied IN certain areas In B. c.
waters on the ground that
they were the most efficient
methods Of fishing.
&The trap caught salmon were
in better condition for can
ming, and,
Strap fishing could be more
readily regulated for conser-
walton than mobile fishing
equipment, such as purse
seines and aillnets.
II more salmon can be caught
in B. G. waters. they agree, the
important basic industry of fish
ing might well return to It's for
mer profitable basis.

will overcome it. And the first coun-
try which demolished the galley
chains of imperiaist war, was our

sacrifices in the struggle for the de-

pendence, we raised before the whole
world the banner Of struggle for the
complete overthrow Of Imperialism.
We are now as if in beleaguered
fortress until other attachments OF
the International Socialist revolution
come to our rescue. But these de-

Room Where Lenin Died NOaU
Preserved Just As He Left 1t
Workers from the Whole World Sent Him Gifts
to Cheer Him During His Last Illness

room where Lenin died contains many
gifts given to Lenin in his last days.
German workers presented him with
a box carved like a book; children
gave him letters of greeting; Bukha-
rim gave him a landscape painted by
himself; Japanese workers two has
reliefs in wood and cork, showing
Japanese scenes.
In the room below the tables are
piled with sheaves Of oats and wheat,
because Lenin, In his last illness, de-
manded to know the results Of the
harvest. This room also contains q
motor Wheelchair presented to him
by the Communist Party Of Great
Britain.
The staircase has a double rail;
Lenin, though a very sick man,
wished during his last days to walk
without assistance.
The telephone room contains four
phones, one connected directly with
the Kremlin.
The caretaker now, named Pizan,
was commandment Of the Lenin house
throughout the great Bolshevik's res
idence here. He told me how Lenin,
his right arm paralyzed, learned to
write with his left, thereby continu-
ing his work.
once, Pizan related, Lenin went

walking at midnight. Pizan followed
him, urging him to sleep, You must
rest" told him." Pizan said. But
Lenin continued his midnight walk
and returned to work afterward
It was here that Lenin recovered
after the shooting Of 1918. He used
small house nearby as a rest place
during brief vacations until 1922,
when he moved into the large house
permanently because Of the tncreas-
ing gravity Of his illness. During his
stay he kept In close contact with
the peasants in surrounding villages.
His companions were Krupskaya, two
sisters, a nephew, housekeeper and
Pizan.
Pizan continued his account of
Lenins last days by telling of the
hardships during the civil war and
the blockade; the small house was
used because the large one was I'M
heated. Once, in 1921, the entire
household was removed to a village
20 miles away, because a new plot
against Lenin's life has been I'M
covered. During this period Lenin
lived in an unheated room with no
kitchen; the water was frozen every
morning.

We know, that help from you,
comrades, American workers, will
probably not come soon, for the de-
velopment Of the revolution proceeds
with a different tempo and in diff
ferent forms in different countries
(and it cannot be otherwise). We
know that the European proletarian
revolution also may not blaze forth
during the next few weeks no mat
ter how rapidly it has been ripening
lately. We stake our chances on the
inevitability Of the international rev.
olution, but this in no way means
that we are SO foolish as to stake our
chances on the inevitability of the
revolution within a stated short Pc
Rod. We have seen In our country
two great revolutions, in 1905 and in
1917, and we know that revolutions
are made neither to order nor by
agreement. We know that circum-
stances brought to the fore our Rus
sian detachment of the Socialist pro-
letariat, not by virtue of our merits,
but due to the particular backward
ness of Russia, and that before the
outburst Of the international revolu-
ton there may be several defeats of
separate revolutions.
Despite this, we are firmly con-
WINGED that we are invincible, be-
