FIVE BUNGLE THEIR WORK Pledges Signed Worthless in Eyes of Attorney-General and They Will Not Be Printed on Ballot. Maker of Law Offends. OLTMP1A, Wash., Aug. 26. (Special.) Not one Democratic candidate for Joint Senator whose declaration of candidacy has been filed with the Secretary of State has SRken the pledge to support his party choice for the United States Senate, thus leaving the candidates free if they wish to vote for any Republican for that office. Of the 16 candidates for Joint State Senator who have filed with the Secretary of State, only five made any attempt to file pledges, and two of these pledges are held worthless on advice of the Attorney-General, and the candidates have been reported to the County Auditor to go on the ballet as unpledged. One of the latter class Is Lee A. John son, of Yakima, member of the Legisla ture that passed the direct primary law in 1907,. and one of the leaders of the "dry" forces in the state. When Mr. Johnson filed his declaration of candi dacy for the district Including Yakima and Benton counties, he wrote at the bottom of the blank: "I hereby pledge myself to the majority vote of the peo ple." This did not comply with the form of pledge in the primary law which Mr. Johnson helped pass. He was re ported to the Auditors of two counties named as unpledged, as was also reported Arthur W. Smith, of Clallam. Jefferson and San Juan counties, who amended the blank pledge to state that he would vote for the Western Washington popu lar choice for Senator. Mr. Johnson later fUled out a legal pledge and sent it to the Secretary of State, who rejected It on the advice or the Attorney-General. This advice will probably wipe out many pledges through out the state, as it holds that the pledge is worthless unless filed simultaneously with the declaration of candidacy. Mr. Johnson was Informed of the rejection of his pledge filing and every mail since has borne a letter from him vainly re questing the Secretary of State to di rect the Auditor to publish Mr. Johnson as a pledged candidate. Mr. Johnson has secured the services of O. L. Booze as attorney. Mr. Booze has also had considerable correspondence, but Secre tary Howell refuses to change his rul ing. RULING IS AGAINST PRINTER Attorney-General Says Dunlway Must Publish Clarke's Argument. SALEM. Or., Aug. 26. (SpeclaL) Attorney-General Crawford handed down an opinion today at the request of State Printer Dunlway, in which it Is held that the printer Is given no discretion as to what he shall print or not print, and It is his duty to publish all matter that is handed to him by the Secretary of State. The opinion follows the decision of Judge Galloway yesterday, when ne overruled a demurrer In the Injunction proceedings brought by Dunlway to re strain the Secretary of State's office from filing W. J. Clarke's argument for the pamphlet with the State Printer. The Secretary of State was given five days In which to make an answer to the complaint and no re straining order was issued. Conse quently the matter was turned over to the State Printer. He in turn refused to accept the arguments under contro versy, which also included the argu ment In favor of the assembly, until he had consulted counsel, and he asked the Attorney-General for an opinion. The Attorney-General states he Is of the opinion that Judge Galloway s de cision is correct in regard to the Re publican State Committee's action, re ferring to the court's ruling that the state committee has not the preroga- lve of using its Influence to favor any candidate or class of candidates In the state pamphlet. But, the Attorney General goes on to state, the court has not Issued a restraining order and is holding the case open for an answer to the complaint, thus leaving it in effect no suit at alL The State Printer, under the corrupt practices act. Is required to commence delivery of the pamphlets to the Secre tary of State not later than 20 days be fore the nominating election, or Sep tember 4. and he must have them all in the hands of the Secretary of State not later than IS days before the nom inating election. State Printer Dunlway declined to make any definite statement as to his attitude after he waa shown a copy of the Attorney-Generals opinion. "I have never been a lawbreaker," he stated, "and you may infer what you wish from that statement. There may be something In this opinion that legal advisers desire to see and I. do not feel like offering any assertions on the spur of the moment."

"A promoter is one who puts an enter prise In motion and grabs while he can in passing," declared Justice Chadwick In his dissenting opinion from the ma jority decision of the Supreme Court to day which is .in favor of Charles H.
