HARD FIGHT ASSURED
IN EAST WASHINGTON
Neither Party Counts Coming
Battle Easy One.
DEMOCRATS MORE ACTIVE
Republicans Thus Far Not Sending
Out Much Campaign Literature,
According to Reports.
SEATTLE. Wash., Oct. 21. (Special.)
fc Though tho Democrats are conduct
ing a campaign tor the three Western
Washington seats in the lower house ot
Congress, everybody who has anything
to do with politics knows that the big
fight is centered in the Fourth and
Fifth districts, in Eastern Washington.
The National and Congressional com
mittees of both parties are fully aware
of this fact, too, and insofar as they
can do so the National organizations
are lending every possible aid.
Before the declaration of war and in
the early stages of preparation. Con
gressman W. L. .LaFollette. Republican
of the Fourth, and C. C. Dill, Democrat,
of the Fifth District, were pronounced
pacifists. LaFollette never entirely
recovered, but Dill subsequently sup
ported the Administration programme.
But. as prominent Democrats of the
Spokane, or Fifth District, have point
ed out rcneatedly. he never publicly re
nounced his early errors or attempted
fully to atone for them.
LaFollette was defeated by Dr. John
W. Summers, of Walla Walla, on his
war record, but Dill was too strong for
T. V. Tustin, the candidate of the 100
per cent Americanism Democrats, to
defeat. So the issue was passed along
to the general election to be -fought
out between Dill and Judge J. Stanley
Webster, the radical pro-war Republl
can nominee.
Dill's Pacifism Factor.
In the Fifth district the issue of
Dill's pacifism will remain the biggest
factor in the campaign up to the time
of the general election. November 5. In
the Fourth district the personal equa
tion enters into the contest.
There is no question of the personal
popularity and thorough-going Amen
can ism of Will E. McCroskey. the
Democratic nominee of the Fourth dis
trict. The McCroskeys not only have
been Democratic leaders in Whitman
County for years, but they have been
personally strong enough to take all
the offices they wanted. McCroskey
started into his campaign .with w tre
mendous Republican majority to over
come, and the odds should be all
against him. but as the Republican
managers admit that the district is
debatable ground. McCroskey must
have been making progress.
Dr. Summers was a member of the
last legislature, and he has a number
of political enemies. He is well-known
in the southeastern corner of his dis
trict, but is not so well known on the
west end, where Austin Mires, of EI
lensburg. was a candidate against him
in the primaries. However, the entire
Mires organization has been thrown
into the fight to aid Summers, and un
questionably is giving him loyal sup
port. Whether the LaFollette people
will follow this example is an ope
question. .Inasmuch as LaFollette and
McCroskey both hail from V hitman
Counlv it is probable that many
the Whitman County LaFollette sup
porters will swing over to McCroskey.
At least, that is feared in political
circles.
Taatla following: Arosied.
The Democratic faction that resented
Dill's anti-war record and began early
to prepare for his defeat could not find
the type of candidate to win witn. l ney
tried to pick a man out of uoverno
Lister's administration, and there is no
doubt that the state administration was
in sympathy with this effort. When the
anti-Dill faction centered on T. V. Tus
tin it did so with an open admissio
that if they failed to beat Dill wit
Tustin they would swing over to th
Republican nominee and try it agai
at the general election. It Is probable
some of the strict party Democrat
did not like this open admission and
supported Dill, and it is possible some
of Tustin's supporters will not go the
full length and will fail to support
Webster. But in the main the Tustin
following Is strongly enough aroused
over Dill's pacifist record to give sup
port to W ebster.

early days of the great drive. The city
of Ghent, an objective which the allies
have always- had in mind, is yet seven

taken. Allied troops already have made
considerable progress with this end in
view.
Having cleared the Germans out of
Western Belgium, the allied forces are
standing on a line from the Dutch
frontier to the Oise Canal that Is vir

SALEM. Or., Oct. 21. (Special.) Ed
Frazier, storekeeper at Orton, in the
Filets Valley, came into Salem today
with the story of the disappearance of
J. J. Martin, aged homesteader, who
lives in a lonely section Jn the heart
of that lonely valley. It is believed
that Martin has met with foul play.
Mr. Frazier states that Mr. Martin,
who lived by himself, carried a quan

waist, and that one of his hobbies was
to collect gold pieces wherever pos

foreign affairs, has sent another

This time Germany professes to accept
all the conditions for an armistice and

The reply indicates Germany's will

the military chiefs in the field. It is
announced in the note that all subma

erase attacks upon passenger vessels.
Denial is made that lifeboats and pas

BELGIAN BILL HUGE ONE
Items Show Heavy Tribute Laid by
Germans During War.
LONDON, via Montreal, Oct. 21.
Some of the items which figure on Ger
many's bill in Belgium are given as
follows from an official Belgian source:
"Local contributions and fines levied
by Germany on Belgium in 1914, 8,
000,000. "War contributions from November,
1914. to October, 1916, 38.400,000.
"War contributions, seven months,
to May, 1917, 14,000,000.
"War contributions from May, 1917,
to May, 1918, 28,800.000.
"War contributions, from June to
October of the current year. 15.000.000
"Raw materials and machinery taken
by the Germans were reckoned by them
in January, 1915, at 80,000,000. The
damage to December, 1914, .estimated
by the North German Gazette, amounted
to 200,000.000. This makes a grand
total of 384,200,000."
These items do not include material
destruction and requisitions since Janu
ary, 1915, which alone must be reckoned
at several hundred million pounds.

Then many operators became ill and

According to the testimonv of multi
plied thousands who have tried it, there

of a run-down system as Tanlac, and
in every case where a fair test of its
powers is made another enthusiastic
witness is the invariable result. Re
cently in telling of the remarkable
Denetits she has derived from the med
lclne, Mrs. Agnes Larsen, residing at
is soum ti street, Tacoma, Wash
said:
"The way Tanlac has relieved me of
my suffering and built me up is nothing
snort oi wuncenui. vvny. aon t only
teei iiko a new woman, but I have
actually gained fourteen pounds
weight besides. I was in an awfully
weak, run-down condition for two years
ana so-nervous that the least little
thing out of the ordinary would unset
me. i suiierea an tne time with a pain
across my kidneys, which was so bad
at times my back felt like it would
break. I was very restless at night, uo
and down at all hours, unable to sleep.
I also suffered a great deal with dizzi
ness and faint feelings and was so
weak that I could not get through with
my housework without stopping sev
eral times to rest.
"One day I was telling a friend of
mine now I felt, and she advised me
to try Tanlac So I got a bottle, and
that was one of the best things I ever
did. My husband, who was suffering a
great deal with indigestion and gas on
his stomach, commenced taking it the
same time I did, and between us we
took eight bottles, and are in splendid
condition. His stomach is in such a
good condition that he eats just any
thing and it all agrees with him fine.
And as for me, it has built me up until
reel aitogetner diiierent. My nerves
are so much stronger and better that I
can sleep all night long, and my ap
petite is just fine. I no longer have
those weak, dizzy spells and the pain
has left my back entirely. Both myself
and husband think Tanlac is great, and
if I ever feel my system getting run
down again I shall take more Tanlac.
