Nor did the feminine contem-
poraries, of whom Mrs. Jackson did
not entirely approve, confine their
political efforts to the theater and
social affairs. They invaded Sec
retary Crawford's sick room and in

invalid chair for a sofa in a more

In gaia attire and in groups of
from two to six, they sent their visit

gress asking legislators to meet them
in front of the open fires of the
Library of Congress, then in the
Capitol, that they might further
plead upon behalf of their candi-

Adams Won on First Ballot.
Adams himself, seemed to have
made no efforts to secure his elec-
ton, although he was by no means
indifferent to the honor. Then liv-
ing with his family i'll a house upon
the site of 1881 to 1885 F street, he
was probably the least political man
who ever aspired to the presidency
So far did popular dislike and par
tlsan feeling go, an attempt was
even made to make political capital
Of his wife's birth in England dur
ing the time her father was our
United States Consul to Great Brit
ain.
Referring to the persecution meted
out to himself and his family during
the campaign, Adams declared, 1T
would seem as if every liar and
caluminator in the country were
at work to destroy my character,
nor it is possible to be wholly in
sensible to this process Unbending,
unconciliatory his courage and abil-
ity somehow won the respect of his
opponents.
To the amazement of the opposing
forces, the vote of Congress to de-
termine who should be President
was decided for Adams on the first
ballot, with Senators Daniel Web
Ster and John Randolph as telI<
of the hotly- fought contest.
1t is claimed that the first edi-
ton of Noah Webster's dictionary
published in 1923 during President
Adams administration contained a
number of new and strange epithets,
never before included in any lexicon,
which had come into current use
during this amazing interval in our
national life.

Russia has favored China in the

Russia has favored China in the
Far Eastern war
Some experts are hazarding the
guess that this pact may negate
the German-Soviet pact of last
year. If that should happen, Ger
many would have lost far more than
she has gained. She would be con-
fronted with the possibility of an
other enemy-and an enemy which
is potentially extremely strong,
even though it is badly disorganized.
If the axis friends thought the
new agreement would throw scare
into this country, resulting in our
reVerting to a more neutral attitude,
they were mistaken. WaShington's
response was that, if anything, the
agreement would result in giving
even more aid to Britain. And that
policy will go on no matter who wins
in November-both- Mr.. Roosevelt
and Mr.. Willkie are strongly pro-
English and anti-fascist. So one
result of the pact may be to benefit
England in her war with two of the
pact's three signatories.
Next thing to watch for now is
what Spain does. The axis is using
every pressure to enlist her as their
ally, but Franco, with a war-weary
nation on his hands, is still lodging.

VOTE ON COMMISSIONER

Quite a few people, apparently,
are unaware of the fact that they
are to vote for commissioners from
two districts at the general election
next month. This confusion prob
ably arises from the fact that each
district selects it's own candidates
in the primaries. In the ProsSer
commissioner district the commits
sioner holds over. In the middle dis
trict, I. M. Hartman, of Benton City
was nominated on the republican
ticket in the primaries.
Mrs. Ellen Clark, wife of the pres
ent commissioner, was named the
democratic nominee. Both of these
candidates will be on the ballots
for all three districts in the gener-
al election.
In this district Mrs. H. S. Hughes
was named the republican candi-
date for commissioner, opposed by
Jay Perry, the democratic nominee.
The names of both these candidates
will also appear upon the ballots
in all districts of the county.
In other words, the commissioner
districts select the candidates, but
the people from all over the county
vote upon them in the general cleo
ton. For your information, secure
the necessary data regarding the
candidates from both commission
district.

You can't blame a man for being
sceptical about politics being able
to pull strings when it comes to
choosing and selecting among many
individuals. 1t has been limited that
this would be true in the conscrip-
ton istings in October. We are
glad to learn from the source at
Washington, that the entire draft
proceedings will be done in the
open with every sort of publicity
given the lists of draftees. Names
will be posted at registering quart
ers and in hometown newspapers.
Any person who wishes to challenge
a decision or to question any Sc
lection may be free to do so. They
promise no favoritism or political
strings and this will be possible due
to the publicity thrown on each
name. Here in Kennewick we well
come open tactics and the basis of
equality. d ..

time. Eliminated harassing and
haranguing, shouts and abuses,
mud-slinging and violent demon

One thing about Willkie that Am

his own mind and say what he
thinks about issues. The curse of
the American politics is the poll
tIclan who weighs every statement to
discover how it will be accepted,
whether 1t will win or lose votes,
whether or not it conforms exactly
to the party policy. We all get fed
up on that sort of policy and it is
refreshing to have a man who has
the independence of thought and
the courage to express his thoughts

One Of the greatest threats to
democratic forms of government in

bureaucratic form of government.
The tragic part of it is that no one
seems to be disturbed about it. With
amazing rapidity bureaus are being

over this phase and that phase Of
government. Once bureau is set
up it continues to grow and expand.
