ing the change wanted to know why

Local Club Drops
Ten-Inning Opener

What looked like a Shutout for
the White Bluffs Hanford ball club
in their first start of the Tri-Coun-
ty league schedule Sunday, turned
into a 6-5 defeat when Benton
City scored three runs in the eighth,
one in TIE ninth and two in the
tenth innings to overcome the four
run lead the locals had build up
in the first and seventh frames
and the extra run they garnered
in the overtime inning.
Emil Wagner hurting for the
locals, went the distance, allowing
only three hits until the eighth
when the Benton City hitters be-
gan to find his offerings He famed
IL and gave Z bases on balls. D..
Montgomery, Benton City hurler,
had the locals swinging hopelessly
as he famed % and allowed only
5 hits in the ten innings.
Hanford- White Bluffs went into
a comfortable lead in the first in
ming when four Benton City errors
and a single by Walker let in three
runs. Benton City threatened in
the same inning but failed to score
when base runners were nabbed on
attempted steals.
From then until the seventh,
both teams battled futilely, with
most batters retiring on strikes. A
triple by Wagner followed by d
well-placed bunt by Webber, scored
run for the locals in the first half
of that inning.
In the eighth, Benton City took
advantage of an error and several
hits to score three runs, and they
tied the score in the ninth.
In the FIRST half Of the overtime
frame, the locals went out in front
when Bill Meek singled, stole Sec
ond and third. and came in on a
single by Walker, but Benton City
retaMated by scoring two runs in
the last half to end the ball game.

satisfactory this week by physicians
at st. Elizabeth's hospital in va

ment,
Mrs. Anderson, who was prepar-

fell. AS she was holding a pan in
both hands, she was, unable to
break her fall and struck heavily
on the floor.
Although the pelvic bone was
broken, she attempted to seek aid
and had reached the living room
before fainting from the pain. No
one else was in the house at the
time, and it was about a half hour
later before she was found. She
was taken at once to the Yakima
hospital by Mr.. Anderson and Mrs.
Fred Gilhuly.

Huntington Seeks
Congressional Post

B. NJ. Huntington; Wa1la Walda,
this week formally announced his
candidacy for the Republican NOM
i1lation for Congressman from the
fourth district In discussing his
candidacy, Mr.. Huntington, who is
immediate past president Of the
Washington Good Roads associa
ton, says:
II feel sure that no one will
deny that we now face an extreme
crisis in the affairs of the nation.
The growing census of the unen>
ployed, the ever increasing burden
of relief, and the very definite de-
cline of industrial activity are GER
tain indications that the plans
adopted in 1888 and followed to
date to cure these conditions have
failed The steady increasing mo-
rnentum of the development of the
apparent plans of the administra>
ton to concentrate under one head
all the departments of government
must be evident to all of the peo>
pie and if we are to escape the
fate of other totalitarian nations
and preserve democracy, it is time
now to change the complexion of
the Congress of the United States.
SIT is fundamental that the an
swer to our economic problems is
closer cooperation between business
and government. For this reason l
have advocated in the past that
successful small businessmen should
offer themselves for public service"

Swezea Tells OF His
Plans AS Commissioner

Heralded by his new sound car
Bert l.. Swezea, candidate for
County Commissioner, left early
this week ON a tour covering King
County.
During this tour Swezea will adj
dress a host of meetings previous
ly arranged for him by commun-
ity leaders. Swezea will stress
his thorough knowledge of county
problems gained during 38 years
as successful business executive
and taxpayer. Swezea issued the
following statement before leav-
ing:
Nothing seems more absurd
than the attempt to make the con-
duct of the County Commission
ers' office partisan affair. Coun-
ty offices are administrative and
not legislative. No party issues
are involved, no party principles
are at stake.
"a real knowledge of the func-
tons of the office and the exper-
fence and ability that qualities a
person to administer the affairs
of the office he seeks is and should
be the deciding factor.
81 have been asked to define
my stand on labor; this is covered
by the fact that for 13 years I was
a member of the Seattle Printing
Pressmen's and Assistants Union
local No. 80, A. F. of l.. in Seattle
and now hold an honorable with
drawal card. I have always run
a union shop.
GAS your County Commissioner
will truly represent the view
point of the average homeowner
and taxpayer as I am married
and have three children. Our
home is in the Madrona District"
Please remember in the interest
of good government all of King
County votes for two County Com
missioners on November 8.
