Radley, candidate Republican nomination for the office of pros ecutinf-attorney, in j a letter to The Tribune this week, ' emphasizes the strong stand that lie has taken on the enforcement of tho liquor laws. Says Mr. Radley: I note your editorial in last week's paper, wherein you state that it niigbt be well for some of the candidates for Prosecutor, oilier than the one you mention, j to come out and make a state ment on ka<a •-- irwmMl nanu.c prosecutions of the violators of our liquor laws. Your attention is called to my platform which was published In your issue of week before last. It states that I stand for law utd order, equal enforcement ot all laws, justice for all and rigid ec onomy in the administration (f public affairs. Think that you overlooked this when you made your editorial comment. Lest we forget, let me repeat that I stand now, and have al ways stood, for upholding and en forcing our prohibition law, to gether with other laws, regard less of where it hits. An investi gation of my record will show this. Among other things in my work as United States Commis sioner at Beilingham, in handling matters brought before me by the Federal Prohibition Agents, I have had occasion to handle liquor law violators of the very wealthy and "dress-suit" variety, and have invariably gone down the line on the enforcement or the laws against them. This fact is well known among the "dress suit gentry" and is the real rea son behind the screen for the fight that is being made on me in this election. Bruised in Bicycle Accident Mr B. Bajema met with a painful accident Saturday evening when his bicycle collided with ■another bicycle, and he was k*yown to the pavement. Ills face Was badly bruised.

LYNDEN, WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1922 ASLEEP AT THE SWITCH Whatcom County's prohibition workers are "asleep at the switch." With the saloons closed, organizations and individuals seem to consider the fight won. By their inaction, they are lending approval to the "moist" conventions that have been held in the county recently, to the rum-runners, and to the liquor element generally. What com County should have a sheriff who is pledged to enforce the "dry" laws. It will have such a man if the prohibitionists in Beilingham, as well as in the northern half of Whatcom Coun ty, rouse themselves, and go into the primaries with the zeal that has always meant victory. "Patterson for Sheriff" should be the slogan. He has pledged himself to a strict enforcement of the liquor laws, and he means what he says. Ev ery "wet" man in the county is fighting him. In vestigate this.

LYNDEN WILL USE VOTING MACHINE Both Precincts in City Will Cast Ballots Automatically at Pri maries September 12 Lynden votors will use a voting machine at the forthcoming pri mary and general elections. One of the 3(1 machines recently pur chased by the county will be set up in Lynden to used by the electors of both Precincts No. 1 and 2. A saving of $7,000 in this year's elections will result from the installation of machines, it is said. The prospect was that the two elections would cost the county around $20,000 with the old system. At this rate the ma chines are expected to be a pay lag investment. I All but one of the 30 will be put into use, the one being kept [ for emergency use. Several coun try districts will try out the new | system of voting. When the voter enters the j booth and draws the curtain, tho i machine is set and ready for his i votes. Each candidate and mea- I sure is assigned a place on the i board and a slip is inserted to ! show the name and office or mea : sure to be voted for. Each slot ,also has a small handle, which 'is pulled down by the voter cast j ing a vote. Two votes cannot he cast for j tho candidate for the same office, I whore but one is to be elected, i nor can a yes and no vote be reg istered on a measure. When two or more are to be voted for, pro vision is made for the proper number, but no more. A person may change his choice by pulling his lever back to position and then pulling down on the one for which he desires to vote. When a voter is through, pulling aside the curtain as he is ready to leave the booth attends to reg istering and counting his choices without the following elector knowing how he has voted. Fewer election officials and fewer supplies will be needed with the new contrivances and the result of elections will be available within a few minutes after polls are closed as the ma chines carry totals forward.
