"Tha major task of tha atata during

Sir. Kubll yesterday, discussing his can

will come before the next Legislature
will be measures that will particularly
relate to tha war and war activities.
Tha question of how through legisla

radical nature, requiring tha expendi

Myers has been calling some of the

acelsitn and demonstration.
For six weeks the electricians contributed
their spare time In hard work on a marvel

Kiectrlcal dealers contributed the supplies
and after the work was completed the elec

dances held went to the Red Cross fund. It
amounted to several thousand dollars. Could
there be a'nv mora explicit demonstration of
practical, useful and purposeful patriotism?
To the faithful men who save their spare
time evenincs and Sundays for weeks, to
their unions, which footed every cent of
nyiwry expense from their own funds; to
the dealers who save the equipment needed,

"There must be but one thought in

Mr. Hays wound up his day of re
markable activity in Spokane by an
address in the Auditorium Theater
along non-partisan lines. He was in
troduced by Governor Lister, of Wash
ington, a Democrat, after the Governor
had made a war speech, and Hays came
right back, with another war speech,
which aroused the enthusiasm of the
large- audience. On the platform
among other notables was S. A. Per
kins, Tacoma publisher and National
Republican committeeman for Wash-
ngton. The Governor, Mr. Hays and
Mr. Perkins left for the coast at 9
o'clock tonight, presumably on the
same train.
During the afternoon Mr. Hays and
Mr. Perkins had a love feast with the
heads of the former Progressive organ
ization In the county and state.
Progressives were led by Leroy Slater,
former state Progressive chairman, and
the breach between the Progressives
and Republicans, if any existed, seems
to be almost healed.
The evening speech was along the
same lines aa those marking the talks.
Mr. HayB has been delivering speeches
in other Northwestern cities.
