CONNECTICUT RATIFIES WOMAN SUFFRAGE LAW GO TO THE POLLS and VOTE. This it your prime duty as a citizen. VOTE. Go to the polls and REMEMBER JONES. Remember the kaiserite of 1917 and the pro-Jap of 1920. Does Washington want a pro-Jap senator? If not, defeat Jones. Insure his defeat by voting for William Inglis. The republicans must keep the solemn pledge they took when our nation was on the brink of war—die pledge to defeat Wesley Lusitania Jones. Every newspaper in the state, republican as well as democrat; every republican leader in the state, gave that pledge—and they gave it at a time when patriot ism, not politics, ruled (hem. The promise and the pledge then given must be observed today. The honor of the state demands it And the safety of the state, moreover, demands Jones' defeat because of nis relations with Jap bank interests. For the governorship, vote either for George Lamping, of Seattle, progressive, or for Ed T. Coman, of Spokane, if you are a conservative. These men are not tied up to any selfish groups. The contest ought to lie between two honest men representing the two lines of thought, the progressive and the conservative. Hart and Hartley are not true representatives of any line of thought; they are sold to seffish groups and special interests. For prosecuting attorney, Malcolm Douglas stands head and shoulders above the average claimant for this office. He is clean, courageous, progres sive, independent He will be a wholesome addition to our county government. Weather ■■■ ■ ■ Tonight.
