Two men stand before the voters of Mason, Kitsap and Island counties tiiis fall lor the election as senator from the twenty-third district, but one is so far above the othel in capabil ities, intelligence, training, interest and sympathy that there can be no doubt of the outcome. Colonel John Mcßeavy of Union, Mason county, four times a member of the territorial legis lature, a delegate in the constitutional < mention, once a representative and later a senator, is that one. Rugged and stalwart and honest to the core is the Colonel, dependable, always on the job and on it right. His mind is broad enough to catch at a glance those things that are for the benefit of the state as a whole liis insight is keen enough and his deter mination and honesty so unswerving that what he thinks is for the benefit of his district, his district will ger. Colonel Mcßeavy is making his campaign on good roads, and good roads arc what his district needs more than it needs anything else. Means of communication now are dif ficult anu the growth of that district is being retarded just because of that fact. Everybody in the twenty-third district knows that roads are ils su preme demand and everybody in the district will know before this cam paign is over that Colonel Mcßeavy is the man to get them for them. I*onhtless there is no more popular \ r an in Mason county than the Colonel, ; r :d he is rapidly becoming as popular the other counties, where formerly ! yas not so well known. He has i lived in Washington since in Mason county since ISCS. Every nook and cranny of it he knows, and because lie knows it and its people so well lie knows batter than anybody c'se what it needs. Colonel Meßeavy should be the next senator from tho twenty-third district; undoubtedly he will be. THE WASH INGTON STAND WEI, if it may be pardon ed the intrusion, urges the voters of the district to vote for him. because the STANI>AI:I> knows Col. Meßeavy. knows that he w ill do what he says he , will do and knows, furtheimore, that | what he says he will do and what he ! will do will be for the best interests i of the whole district. AY DKHOCUACY. ! Organized into a compact, closely i working body, the Democrats of Thur- j ston county are going to make a sur- ] prising campaign for their county i ticket this fall and one that will'mean \ victory for tliem in November. Such an opportunity as confronts., them now has not presented itself for ! some time and from now on they are 1 going to bend every effort to take ad vantage of that opportunity. They have not stopped with the selection of the best county ticket that has been | presented to Thurston county voters j in any recent election —they are going | ahead now to bring to that ticket i the victory that it deserves. Is there any better man than Dufault for county treasurer? Or Lynch for prosecuting attorney, Ouellette for engineer. Wall lor sheriff, Ayer and . White for representatives, McClelland j for school superintendent, and so cn i throughout the whole ticket? The stand-pat Republicans are offer-, ing the old guard again, the Bull ' Moose a disgruntled lot of office-seek-! ers —neither can compete with the I quality, the capability and the honesty ; In bis speech at Sea 'lirt, N. J., on June 17, (Jovernor Wilson pointed out Hint, as the result of so many years of Republican administration, the feeling throughout the nation Is that "men have gone in blind alleys and have had to climb out often enough. Now they propose to find an open road for them selves."

An increase of $2,- i'i7o,S99 in the assessed valuation, and the "reduced" levy will compel Thur ston county taxjiayers to pay $21,190 more than they did for 1911. The Republicans— —Hay's "busi ness" administration —have given you taxpayers that "reduction" in your taxes and the "kept press," by over looking the actual amount and talking only in per cents, is trying to hood wink you into believing your taxes are reduced.

(Progressive Democrat.) Democrats can win this election. The Republican party is shot as full of holes as a sieve.

Republicans are dishearten ed. The Democrats are enthusiastic. Most everyone will tell you that Wil son will be the next president and he will carry our state and county ticket to victory if we will only get busy. Talk Wilson and victory will come.

In calling Woodrow Wilson a re actionary, Theodore Roosevelt, as usual, ignores the fact, that the gov ernor of New Jersey, during his term of office, compelled the passage of more progressive laws than the would be Moses of the American people even suggested during the seven years he sat in the White House. Governor Wilson secured the passage of these laws in spite of the fact that one house of the legislature was Republican and the other dominated by an element in his own party that was hostile to him. Can Theodore Roosevelt point to a single real progressive measure that he was instrumental in placing on the statute books when he was the idol of the nation and supported by over whelming majorities in both branches of Congress? When it conies to past records even President Taft has more to boast of. It is only by the records of the past that, we can judge the future.

Paulhamus, both first-rate men, are going to explain to their own con science their folly in submitting their candidacy to a primary where such a man as Hodge was a formidable com petitor? He is unfit to be governor of Washington or of any state. They know it now, they knew it then. Yet they have contributed to that possible, even probable, result by joining the wild rush to get under the flag of the bull moose, and incidentally becoming candidates for the governorship. Will the so-called progressives stand by Hodge? If they do, they will bid farewell to all hope of support or sanction by the moderate element of their party and the bull moose move ment will go into a rapid and deserved decline.

With Judge Black on the ticket the Democrats can rest assured that they will not only poll the full party strength but they will come forth with a pile of Republican and Independent voters.

NEON NOTES STIEI.TON, Sept. 27.—'The Cen tral committees of both the Republican and Democratic parties met last Saturday and organized pre,-, paratory to beginning an active cam- 1 paign in the interests of their respec-; tive candidates for office. In the cam paign to follow it is pretty generally conceded that the Democrats have the 1 I .est of it and will elect most of their • candidates, notwithstanding that the county is normally Republican by a good majority. It is apparent that the Hull Moose split in the Republican! party will greatly endanger tlie usual party success in November. ♦ ♦ * * John Mcßeavy of Union City, candi date for state senator for the Twenty-1 third district, was in Shelton Tuesday] and Wednesday on his way home from , Kitsap and Island counties, whither he made a flying trip in the interest 1 of his candidacy. Mr. Mcßeavy is cer tain of an overwhelming majority in ] his home county, as both Democrats; and regular Republicans will support him at the polls, ami many of the more thoughtful Bull Moosers will east their ballots for him in preference to the Kitsap candidate. The women voters are also flocking to his support as they remember tluit he was a champion of the woman suffrage cause in territor ial days, and that he lias never wav ered in his advocacy of the ballot for women. • • * * The Democratic party has no can didate for representative this year, as no one could be found who was willing to file for the office. The Republican candidate is W. M. Beach, who has al ready served three terms in the leg islature. His only opponent is W. H. Kingery, the Socialist candidate, who is counting on the Bull Moose vote and a share of the Democrats to swell the handful of Socialist votes into a majority. That Kingery will get many of the progressive votes is conceded, hut there is also a strong undercur rent of dissatisfaction among the pro gressives over the attempt on the part of their leaders to force them to sup port a Socialist for the legislature. It came about in this way: The chief Bull Mooser in Mason county is the present county auditor, Ed J. Hanson, who has been waging a war on Beach for four years. Prior to the filing this year Mr. Hanson had an nounced to his friends that if Beach filed again for representative, he (Han son) would also and "skin Doc. Beach in the primaries." The progressives were counting on this and depending on Mr. Hanson to make good in case Beach should file, hut they were great ly chagrined after the filings closed to learn that Hanson was in cahoots with Kingery, and that not only had he not filed for the office, hut that he was planning to deliver the whole progres sive vote to the Socialist candidate. Under the circumstances the Demo crats have lost an opportunity by not, having a candidate in the" field. • • • • The Democrats have two women candidates in the field, Mrs. Irene "Rich ardson, who wants the office of county clerk, and who had no opposition in the primaries, and Miss Eva L. Rob inson, who aspires to the office of aud itor. TITe latter won by a large ma jority in the primaries. The election of both of these candidates is very probable. • » • • L. G. Shelton is candidate to suc ceed himself In the rfssessor's office, and M. F. Knight likewise for treas urer. Both have worthy Republican opponents, but their administrations have been highly satisfactory and they ought to win upon the records they have made. ** * * Perhaps the most interesting contest will be for the office of county attor ney. For this office Marion Garfield, the present county attorney, and an ex treme progressive, has the Republican nom'natlon, and R. A. Lathron is his Democratic opponent. Mr. Garland has the advantages (or disadvantage) of being the better known. His op ponents claim that his administration has been incompetent and expensive, the cost to the county It is claimed having exceeded in the one year past, the cost for any previous three years, and that in the numerous jury trials not a single conviction has been se cured. Mr. Lathrop is a compara tive stranger in the county, but promises to make an aggressive cam paign and In the opinion of many care ful observers in both parties stands more than an even chance to carry off che palm in Nevember. •« • • In the organization of the central committee the Democrats exhibited a harmony that betokens very general support of the ticket in November. •• • • The regular Republicans captured the control of the party organization in the organization of their central committee. ♦ • • • W H Smith is the Democratic can didate for sheriff, with Sam Caldwell Republican in the race against him. Mr. Caldwell is an old time incumbent of the office, and is at present deputy sheriff and game warden. Caldwell s nomination was a bitter pill for the radical progressives In the party, and before the primaries they had little to say In favor of "Billy Smith." Since the smoke of the preliminary battle has cleared away, however, the pro gressive sentiment Is turning to Smttn as the best way out of their dilen a. This sentiment is gaining the more strength from the feeling that Caldwell has held a county office long enough. The Democrats will vote solidly for their candidate and the Republican split will put many a vote in the Dem ocratic column for sheriff. Mean while "Billy" wears the smile that won't come off and Is occupying his spare moments posting up on the feats of Sherlock Holmes. »* » • J. B. Shelton and W. S. Taylor are the Democratic candidates for com missioners. The former won the nomination in the primaries by a maj ority of two. He was the avowed candidate of the Progressives in the primaries and received many votw from the Bull Moosers who voted n droves with the Democrats in certain precincts. His Republican opponent is Harry Ashfleld an old time resident of the county, and well known in Grange affairs. W. S. Taylor won the nomination over two opponents in the district, receiving a safe majority over the combined votes of the two. He has filled the office of -commissioner before with a satisfactory record, being especially remembered for ef ficient and economical use of the road money. His overwhelming majority in the primaries has caused the people of the county to sit up and take notice, and it is freely predicted that the man who is so general a favorite in his own district will round up plenty of votes to elect him in November. • * * • Jesse Wooster is the Democratic candidate for surveyor. • • • • Mason county's third annual fair will be held at Shelton, September 30 to October 2, in the new permanent fair building, just completed at a cost of $3,000.

Pauline Hall-Grave*. By Paul C. Hedrick in Sunday Seattle Times. To undertake the serious study of music with every promise of quickly entering into grand opera under the most favorable auspices, and thus to win after years of serious endeavor the prize of which she dremt as a child, Mrs. Pauline Hall Graves, of Olympia, will leave Seattle Sunday October 1 for New York to join the classes of Oscar Saenger, one of the leading operatic coaches and vocal teachers of the big metropolis. No natlce daughter of Washington is better known than Pauline Hall, the beautiful young wife of E. Bertram Graves, son of the late Edward O. Graves, of this city. With friends among 'he leaders of society in every city in Washington, Mrs. Graves' un doubted musical talents have been here-to-fore but slightly understood. Until her recent return from a pro bationary periotf of study with Saen ger In New York, none of Mrs. Graves' friends, even the closest, suspected that she had well formed ambitions for a grand opera career. Then came the announcement made a few days ago to only most intimate personal friends of Mr. and Mrs. Graves, that the young Olympia so ciety woman had cast the die in favor of a grand opera career and that she would leave withiu a few days for New York to complete h»r studies and to prepare herself to accept the flatter ing offers already held out to her by men in the metropolis who have ad vised her of the magnificent future that lies before her. This should now be stated, namely, that Mrs. Graves' voice is truly and absolutely wonderful. Just such a voice in all its range and character istics is possibly and even probably without a duplicate among living singers. In the first place, she has the range of Mme. Schumann-Heink, and In the second, all the power and com pelling sweetness of the wonderful organ of Mme. Johanna Gadski, the celebrated Wagnerian soprano. Such a combination, indeed Is very rare. To illustrate, in the middle and lower register, Mrs. Graves' voice has the cello-like quality of a contratto. In the middle register, all within the boundaries of the staff, the voice bor ders between a mezzo-soprano and a dramatic soprano. Above the staff its liquid purity and tremendous power causes absolute wonderment, and when to this is added a capacity for mezzo voco work in the most feathery of ar peggios and runs up to and even above high C, there comes to the listener a feeling of astonishment that so many rare qualities should be embraced in the voice of one person. Mrs. Graves hopes this winter to practically complete her studies. She has mastered Italian and French and has gained a very good knowledge of the leading roles in "Samson and De lilah" (Saint-Saens), "Aida" (Verdi) and other big works. She is phy sically, vocally and temperamentally an ideal Carmen and to this role she aspires with all her heart. NEARS 77th BIRTHDAY. Mrs. Mary A. Tyler of 1954 Fifth avenue west, Seattle will pass her 77th birthday October 9. Mrs. Tyler was a resident of Thurston county for more than 35 years and for 25 years she has been a subscriber to THK WASHINGTON STANDARD, renewing her subscription for another year this week. Her many friends in this vicinity will be glad to know that Mrs. Tyler is enjoying very good health at this time. The dominating theme of the exposi tion from an architectural viewpoint will be the huge tower of the adminis tration building, 425 feet high and flanked on either side by the gilded domes, towers and minarets of the remaining buildings of the group. The largest building group in the exposition will be the palace of agri culture, covering in two sections a floor area of 680,000 square feet.
