OLYMPIA - Gov. Clarence n
Martin has thrown his hat into
the ring and announced he will
seek a third term az chief exeeu-
tive Of the state
The governor issued this state
ment late last night;
I offer my services 10 the state
for another four years.
Il choose TO offer myself for
the governorship because my ma.
tive state and its people have been
good 10 me. and feel that in
return can afford 10 give my
best for another four years Of
stability and progress during these
critical and trying times Of our
state and nation.
In due time shall present TO
the people my record and a pro-
gram for the future"
Abandons Senatorship
In seeking 10 be Washington
first third-term governor, Martin
has dropped by the wayside all
designs on the L. s. senatorial
post expected 10 be vacated by
Sen. Lewis B. Schwellenbach.
Although the senator has
been appointed to federal
judgeship, he has not yet re-
signed his seat In the upper
house.
Gov. Martins long-swsited de-
cision throws the Democratic
nomination for governor into
three-way melee. Besides Gov.
Martin, c. {. Dill of Spokane and
George II. Cannon of Pullman.
both strong contenders, have an
nounced their candidacy.
Cannon. former WPA sd-
and close friend OF
the governor. was said to have
entered the race TO split primary
votes Of Gov. Martins opponents.
This, however, has been denied by
the Pullman banker.
Roudebush Is Candidate
Other avowed contenders for
the Democratic nomination in
clude Alex Gabrielson, Vancouver;
Tom Smith, Seattle, and Rex f.
Roudebush, Tacoma.
Unannounced, but expected to
enter the race is Carroll Carter
Of Seattle. Congressman Warren
G. Magnuson of Seattle and
George F. Yantis OF Olympia were
as possible candidates
They are, however, expected to
file for the U. s. senate.
On the Republican side.
Mayor Arthur Il. Langlie of
Seattle appeared to be the
strongest possibility. A draft
Langiie movement has proven
a surprising success In eastern
Washington and other areas
where Gov. Martin previously
had found great strength.
Although Lsnglie has not an
nounced his intentions. he was ex-
pected to declare before filings

If a husband takes no interest in
the house or the furniture, it is his
wife's fault. That stuff about men
not knowing or caring about such
things as the beauty and comfort of
their homes is just plain bunk.
At least it is bunk so far as today's
young men are concerned. They moi
only know what they like in furni.
ture and decorations, but they come
right out and say so if given hall
a chance.
If you don't believe it, make your
husband go with you through a
group of model rooms. Or show him
the illustration that accompanies
the next article you read % interior
decoration.
Ask him if he likes it. And then
ask him why he does or doesn't. Ii
you expect he won't be able to tell
you, you'll be surprised.
HE HAS SENSIBLE REASONS
He'll have very good reasons. May.
be he'll say, "It looks like a nice
enough room, but not a single chair
looks comfortable enough for read
ing"
Or he may protest that the colors
are so bright the room looks more
like a stage setting than a room
for real people to live in day in and
day out.
If he approves, he'll know why,
too.
This kind of test is of more value
to you than just proving that your
husband does notice furniture and
decorating schemes and that he does
have decided likes and dislikes.

Professor Says America
Dropping Toward Riot
And Civil War Stages

CLEVELAND, Nov. 22-CP-An
index based upon concentration OF
wealth shows the United States
currently dropping toward the
riot and civil war" stages. a
Northwestern university mathema'
tics professor who devised the
formula reported here today.
DR.. H. T. Davis, author OF sever
al books, said his statistics also
showed prices would fall in Amerl-
ca, that chances Of going to wal
soon were slim and that the re-
publicans would take over the
White House in 1914.
DR.. Davis established his wealth
index on the basis of income or
death taxes as they have affected
the fortunes of other nations. He
set so per cent as the ideal figure.
He said the present mark is 40.
with IS the riot stage and 30 in.
dicating civil war. A fall to zero
would mean socialism, a rise to
100 a%utocracy.
