With Present Term of Office Completed New Record for Service Will Be Made. 2 NEW MEN GO TO CAPITAL OLYMPIA, Wash.. Nov. 7. (Special.) "Aside from the remarkable decline In the Progressive vote, which was re duced 50 per cent, the outstanding fea ture of Tuesday's election in this Btate was the virtual destruction of the com hination of State Federation of Labor. State Grange and State Farmers' Unions, which for nearly four years liu been one of . the chief political factors of Washington, Aside from securing passage of only one of the "seven sisters" initiative measures, for which the coalition stood sponsor, the organization met striking defeat when Judges S. J. Chadwick, Herman D. Crow and O. R. Holcomb were elected to the Supreme bench The triple alliance had backed W. H. Pemberton and Edgar G. Mills for the bench and had waged a particularly bitter attack against Judges Chadwick and Crow, who were candidates for re el action. The combination of labor and farm era" organizations was effected orig inally at the 1911 session of the Leg islature, when the labor and farmers' lobbies joined forces to work for the Initiative, referendum and recall, which both desired, while the farmers' lobbies also supported the workmen's compen cation act In return for labor support for grange measures. A few months later the "Joint Legislative committee' was organized formally with two mem bers each from the Federation of La bor. Grange, Farmers' Union and Di rect Legislation League. The last named organization had Its principal existence on paper, having been or ganized originally some years ago to secure Initiative, referendum and re call provisions In city charters. Merger Most Successful. The combination had remarkable suc cess with its measures at the 1811. Leg islature. Before the 1913 session was organized the Joint Legislative com mittee secured pledges from a consid erable majority of members of both blouse and senate to submit a consti tutional amendment to allow future constitutional amendments to be made by initiative instead of passing through the Legislature. A few legislators broke their pledges and the proposed amendment Tailed to secure the neces eary two-thirds majority. The com blnation suffered other reverses at the in is cession. In retaliation, the Joint legislative committee a year ago inaugurated movement to have the bills, rejected by the 1913 Legislature, enacted by initia tive ana mea tne "seven sisters ' meas tires, or this septet two numbers, the employment agency and first-aid bills, were for the benefit of organized labor. while the other five were launched by me two tarmers organizations. Arter adventures In courts five of the seven sisters eventually found places on the ballot. In the meantime seeds of dissatisfaction were sown by the action of the State Federation of Labor in Indorsing. In addition to the "seven Bisters," the Socialist eight- hour Dill, to which the farmers' organ lzations were opposed. Further trouble was precipitated when the Federation or labor opposed the prohibition bill, which a majority of . the farmers fa vored. State Grange Head to Front. C. B. Kegley. master of the State Grange and leading spirit on the joint legislative committee, in the last days of the campaign came, out squarely against the eight-hour bill. The outcome of the election in the passage of the employment agency bill alone, while the first-aid bill proved strongest of the others, has Indicated to the labor men generally that they lost rather than gained strength through their association with the farmers, and a complete split and dls solution of the joint legislative com mittee seems imminent.

MRS. THOROMAN CALLED Club Here Wants Associate Charities' Aide to Decline Chicago Post. Unless efforts which are being made to retain her In Portland prove suc cessful, Mrs. Margaret Thoroman, for two years past secretary of social service In the Associated Charities, will go within a week to Chicago to be come superintendent of the social serv ice department in St. Luke's Hospital. A meeting of the Social Workers Club will be held tomorrow and efforts will be made to arrange to have her retained in the work In Portland.

XMlI'e Rise Rapid. $153 GIVEN BY ASOTIN Entertainment to Raise Money for Belgians Draws Large Crowd. ASOTIN, Wash., Nov. 7. (Special.) The Pastime was crowded to capacity Thursday night at the benefit' perfor mance for the relief of destitute and refugee Belgians. The Asotin brass band played several selections in front of the building, after which two reels of pictures were run. Rev. Mr. George pastor, of the Presbyterian Church presided, and spoke of the brotherhood of man. He introduced Rev. William Lattimore, of ilwlston, Idaho, who gave the history of the Belgians and assailed militarism. Rev. Mr. Bell, of the Methodist Church, called for subscriptions, and $153 was contributed. TTcVndWates w WORK TO BEGIN proposal were aeieatea. Machinery and Crushers Ready tor Pacific Route Near Woodland. Bad feeling between the liquor men and the labor organizations also has come about as the result of the Initia tive campaign. In the middle of the campaign the brewery ' interest suc ceeded in securing from the executive committee of the State Federation of Labor a resolution attacking the pro hibition bill. In the latter days of the campaign the breweries, in addition to fighting the prohibition law. worked hard against the eight-hour bill, which had been indorsed by organized labor. As a result, at the 11th hour word went out among labor .in Olympia and elsewhere to vote for prohibition. and the labor votes turned in this man ner contributed materially to the "dry" majority in the state. 'three-Cornered Fight Opens. A three-cornered contest has devel oped for Speaker of the lower house of the Washington Legislature, with W, W. Conner, of Skagit County: E. Heister Gule, of King, and Elmer E Halsey, of Asotin, as candidates. All are Republicans. Halsey is now invading Western Washington, the home of his rivals, in - quest of votes. Guie has been Speaker once and is returning to the coming session after ten years' absence. Corrected returns, which probably will prove final, give the political com position of the Legislature as follows: Senate Republicans, 27; Democrats, 6: Progressives, 6; non-partisan, 1, Republicans have In the House 11 votes more than the two-thirds necessary to pass a bill over the Governor s veto. They lack one vote of two-thirds in the Senate, but probably will gain one member by the special election neces eitated In Pierce County to fill the vacancy caused by Senator Cotter's death. Holdover Senators are nine R publicans, five Democrats and six Pro gresslves, with -ne vacancy. Twenty one Senators elected this year were as follows: Republicans. King County, 7; Pierce.
