CUMMINS, TOO, URGES
MILES POINDEXTER
DES MOINES, Sept. 11.—Progressive republicans
everywhere are hoping a victory in Washington for
Poindexter, and all other progressive candidates will
complete the circle won in recent triumphs.
(Signed) A. B. CUMMINS.
BETTING IS
2 TO I ON
POINDEXTER
One of the best evidences of the
popularity of Poindexter with his
fellow citizens in Spokane, and a
proof of the belief that he will be ;
nominated for United States sena- 1
tor tomorrow, is the fact they are ,
willing to back his chances with,
their good, hard coin.
Hots on Poindexter at 2 to 1 and
even 3 to 1 have gone* untaken this
morning. Others, more bold still,
have posted their rash that Poin
dexter will carry King county, the
heart of the so-called "enemy's
country."
"I knew that Poindexter was
strong, but I did not think that he
bad lhat much the best of it," was
the remark of one supporter as he
glanced over the wagers offered but
not accepted.
LA FOLLETTE FOR CONGRESS.
LaFollette for congress seems to
be considered as having a fine
Chance to clean the field. LaFol
lette money is coming out, and the
Palouse fruit grower seems to be
the man who lock horns with Sea
bun Merritt when the congression
al candidates pass tinder the wire.
At noon today a bet of |300 to
1100 on Poindexter at Donnelly's
had no takers. Also a bet of 1100
even money on La Follette was un-
Co\ered.

WHO OWNS WASHINGTON?
the profits of tho predatory, of shall they be fleeted byhonest, unselfish and patriotic citizens and devote them
selves to making it easier for the industrious worker to earn a living!
This is an issue in tomorrow's primary election.
Back of Judge Burke, back of Jim Ashton and back of Seabury Merritt stand all the political bosses, the machine
politicians, the crooked legislative lobbyists and the great corporation lawyers. And back of the bosses and the
lobbyists and the corporation lawyers are their bosses, the great corporations, the resource grabbers, the allied
forces of graft and greed in Washington, and in the nation.
For their election these interests will spend money like water, for these men, if elected, will vote in congress to
protect their powers of public plunder. They will vote against an honest revision of the tariff; they will vote
against a reduction of the exorbitant cost of living; they will vote against the honest conservation of the people's
resources; they will vote against an effective control of public service corporations which are robbing the workers
of the fruits of their industry.
This is an issue in tomorrow's primary election.
Back of .Miles Poindexter and hack of the insurgent candidates for congress there is no political machine, no
powers working in darkness, no parasitical corporation lawyers or salaried political henchmen. If they are elected
they must he elected by the voluntary votes of good citizens, by the fearless and independent support of men whose
patriotism is unsullied by the stain of selfish interest, and the corruption of dirty money.
This is an issue in tomorrow's primary election.
Burke and the standpat congressional candidates represent and reverence the old school of politics, the secret
caucus, the hand-picked convention, the midnight conference, and the corporation slush-fund.
Poindexter and the insurgent candidates represent the new idea of popular government, of direct responsibil
ity, of frank discussion of political issues and the power of the people to rule their own affairs.
This is an issue in tomorrow's primary election.
These are the issues; these are the only issues. Men will decide or money will decide. If men are more
powerful in Washington than money, the victory will go to Poindexter and the insurgents. If money is more pow
erful inWashington than men, it will go to Burke and the standpatters,
t L LAFOLLETTE ATTACKS
HILL'S "STATE" CONSERVATION
W. L. La Follette of Pullman Is
admitted by the stand-pat element
to be the progressive candidate
that Seabury Merritt, candidate of
the reactionaries, will have to beat.
La Follette has come to the front
strong in the last 10 days. He is
recognized as having more strength
than any other progressive in the
field, and for this reason efforts
have been made to have the pro
gressive forces unite on him for
first choice.
For second choice C. H. Rradeti
and A. E. Veatch are in favor with
the progressives.
On the democratic side there are
two candidates —"City Hall" Mer
ritt and Orris Dorman. It is be
lieved that Doran Will get the nom
ination, although the result is hard
to determine because of the small
vote that will be cast in the demo
cratic column.
In an interview today Mr. LaFol
lette said.
"The American heart beats true.
It is sometimes misled, and deml
gogues representing special inter
ests, by specious statements, at
times cause some pulsations that
lead to mistakes being made, but
eventually sober reasoning brings
them back to normal condition.

GRAMMAR SCHOOL
FOR 95 PER CENT
F. V. Veager. principal of the
Garfield school and a candidate for
county superintendent of schools,
gave his ideas of the value of the
grammar schools to 95 per cent of
the children, in an interview today.
He said that 95 per cent of the chil
dren who enter the primary schools
do not enter the high schools. For
this reason the grammar schools
are the real educational strength of
the nation, in his opinion, and the
greatest thought and energy should
be devoted toward Improving them
and in getting into most sympa
thetic touch with the boys and girls
who must finish their education in
the grammar schools.

Knapp is a consumptive who

NEW PRICES
Tho same high standard
of work will ho maintained,
and where every piece ol
work is guaranteed.
Full Plate $5
This plate is equal to any
plate that is advertised by
our competitors for $10.00.
In fact it has better teeth*
We can show you whore this
is so.
Best Full Plate $10
We make more plates than
any dental office in eastern
Washington, probably tho
whole state, and our experi
ence will benefit you if you
have had trouble. Our best
plate has tooth that aro used
by the very best dentists in
the country, and wo give you
tho benefit of a low pre.as
an advertising specialty.
Some will toll you they can
equal them. We say if wo
can't improve upon any
plate as to fit and appear
ance made by these people,
yon got your money hack.
We claim, regardless of
price, our $10.00 plate is tho
liest money can buy, and
every care is taken to give
you a plate of the highest
older in every way. A writ
ten guarantee is given with
each plate, and extracting \n
included.
BEST GOLD CROWN, $5
BEST BRIDGE WORK, $5
Drs. Shontz and Wilson
For years have been leaders
in this class of work, special
izing and improving in every
way. If yon are particular
there is only one place.
Why? Because we do not
hire transient dentists. We
practice under our own name
ami not in combination with
any company or association.
In other words, we are by
ourselves and independent
of any faction.
Free Examination
ITow grafting in dentistry
is accomplished, is all done
in the examination and a lit
tie smooth talk. We will
show you some of the ways.
Say you want a plate, and
want to know the price, and
if they can fit you, etc.
Of course, they can fit you,
and will show you plates all
the way from '$."> to $2(1.1)0,
and you take the $l! 0 one be
cause you want the best.
Now if you had taken one at
$10.00 that they showed you,
you would have got the same
plate, only a little different
colored rubber.
Another way is to talk you
into Bridge Work and
Crowns when there is no call
for it at all. We see cases
every day where loose teeth
have been bridged in, and
when they put it in they
didn't expect it to stay over
two years. If they did, it
was because they were just
out of school oi - lack of ex
perience, This is why we
have been harping on this
one subject, and that is to
get your work done by a den
tist that practices dentistry
under his own name, and so
you can hold him personally
responsible for work done,
and you can go back ami
find this same dentist Tf an
trouble arises. You must re
member the dentist who says
his work is always perfect is
a quack. What you want is,
if any of these mistakes show
up, you want to know where
to go to.
Now, if you think these
remarks are hitting the truth
we want you to think of us.
Compare our claims, and
give us a trial.
We remain,
