(Seattle:, wash., July . i.7.-r-.(Spe-
lal.) Republican organization in
Washington state is o well advanced
that when the national committee last
week began the distribution of the
new Harding lithographs and' cam
paign buttons it was possible to -send
them from the Chicago headquarters
to an active pfecinct- committeeman
In every precinct in the state. Not
only has the organization been per
fected so that the national commit
tee as been placed in direct touch
with each precinct, but a full list of
officers of more than 185 republican
elubs in the state has been supplied
the national organization, and as
rapidly as new campaign clubs are
formed details of their organization
lire being sent to the Chicago head
pjarters. So far as he records show this Is
the first time In the party's history
la the state that every precinct has
been represened by a committee
pledged to do active campaign work.
Orators Volunteer Services.
A year ago, when a corps of party
organizers, under direction of state
chairman Sam A. Walker, began
checking up county and precinct or
ganization, it was found half a dozen
counties were still operating under
chairmen elected in 1914. and others
had not held organization meetings
for several years. Hundreds of pre
cincts were unrepresented by com
mitteemen, and there were fewer than
hxlf a dozn republican clubs in the
state.
Inquiry disclosed that the looseness
In organization was not due to a de
crease in interest in republican af
fairs, but because the party had been
able to drift along without an up-to-date
commltte, and even the approach
of a presidential campaign did not
warn county workers that organiza
tion would be necessary.
A list of more than 500 republican
orators in Washington who have vol
unteered for campaign work has been
supplied the national committee and
these men and women will be kept
supplied with up-to-date material.
By making use of the newly formed
elubs the national organization will
be able to call on active party workers
for help in any section where it may
be necessary.
Kelly t Attrad Session.
This plan of direct touch between
the national and precinct organiza
tion's has not supplanted the state
committee in any way, for the n
tiooal committee recognizes the state
organization and the latter will have
full charge of the details of the cam
palgn in the state. The national or
ganization merely is lifting the load
of some routine work off the state
organization and at the same time
speeding deliveries.
All the candidates for nominations
on the republican ticket are given
access to the vast amount of data ac
cumulated by the state commitee, on
request.
H. P. Niles of Everett, committee
man from Snohomish county, will go
to ban Francisco Sunday to repre
nt the state committee in a con
frrence of Pacific coast campaign
managers. Guy E. Kelly of Tacoma,
niw national committeeman from this
state, also is to attend the San Fran
cisco meeting.

a rooming house at Ninth and Broad
way, was 'arrested last night on a
charge of assault and battery, the
aharge being brought by three girls,
Jiargaret and Mary Turnbull and Jo
sephine Bolton, his roomers.
His trial was begun today before
Cedric Miller, p-liuo judge, and evi
dence brought out the statement that
the trio of girls, who roomed on the
second floor, were going down the
stairs with their suitcases when he
rushed out and assaulted them, they
allege. It is charged he kicked one
of the Turnbull girls and knocked
another one down with a chair. Miss
Bolton admitted she told Mr. HlaU she
would kill him if he hit one of the
Turnbull girls. She then rushed
down the stairs and grabbed a ham
mer from Hiatt and struck him on the
head with it.
The-jnan tried to have the girls ar
rested but did not succeed. The trial
was continued until Monday at 5 P. M.
TACOMA PROTESTS CLAIM
V. S. DEMAND FOR CAR IIXE
LOAX HELD UNJUST.
City Said Already to Have
Its Share in Assumption
War-Time Burdens.
Done
of
TACOMA, Wash., July 17. (Spe
cial.) The city of Tacoma will pro
test to the United States Shipping
board the settlement of the claim
held against the city's municipal
street railway line for the $232,000
lent the city to double-track the line
during the war.
while the representatives here
agreed to recommend acceptance of
$42,000 in cash and the 10 old cars in
settlement of the account, I shall
make it plain, as. far as I am con
cerned, that any amount exacted from
the city for the war burden assumed
by the city to aid the government in
ts shipping programme will be an
injustice and a burden the city is not
able to stand, said Commissioner
Shoemaker.
The city iias already paid the gov
ernment 16,000 in interest on the
account. The cars cost 174,000, 'with
$35,000 added for new motors, mak
ing $109,000 for the cars. With the
$42,000 the government wants in cash
It will mean that Tacoma will have
paid $165,000 to Uncle Sam for the
privilege of helping the government
shipbuilding programme.
The declared injustice of asking
the people of Tacoma to accept this
burden for the benefit of the general
government is growing on the coun
cilmen the more they think of it, and
a fight is promised before the matter
is adjusted.

TROOP ORDER GOOD1 NEWS
Vancouver Pleased Over Transfer
of Infantry to Barracks.
VANCOUVER, Wash., July 17.
(Special.) The news that the First
infantry, minus one battalion, will be
sent to Vancouver Barracks was re
ceived here with pleasure by many
persons who recall the last stay of I
this, the oldest organization in the
United States army. The First in
fantry, in command of Colonel George
K. McGunnegle, was here for four
years, and left about 1910 for the
Philippine islands, later being re
turned to the United States.
It is expected that there will be I
about 600 men in the two battalions
coming here soon.
C and H companies, 44th lnfa.ni.ry.
now stationed here, will be sent to the
Presidio. San Francisco.
Since the spruce production division
was mustered out here there have
been few soldiers in the post, scarcely
enough to do guard duty.
Document Exceeds in Iiength Nom
inee's Expectation WHson-
Cox Conference Watched.
MARION, O., July 17. Senator
Harding gave his speech of accept
ance its final polishing tonight and
then prepared for a day of rest from
the .arduous task of composition
which has occupied his attention r.l
most exclusively for a week.
He planned to spend tomorrow qui
etly and in the early days of the com
ing week to take more time for rec
reation. -
The senator worked again as In the
years gone by in close co-operation
with the composing room of his news
paper, the Marion Star, where the
speech was put into type for printing
the advance copies that will be dis
tributed to the press.
Messenger Relays tTsed.
A relay of messengers carried copy
and proofs between the newspaper of
fice and the senator's residence and
once he paid a visit of inspection to
his compositors.
The speech, which will be deliverd
here next Thursday at the formal no
tification of his nomination for the
presidency, exceeds in length the
candidate's expectation and will run
well beyond the four-column limit he
originally fixed. It had been pre
pared with particular care because
he has endeavored to have 't express
comprehensivly his stand on all of
the important issues.
League Issue Is Watched.
The meeting tomorrow betwesn
Governor Cox and President Wilson
was expected by local Harding mana
gers to put the spetlight again on the
league of nations and perhaps to
show up more clearly what lines Oie
campaign on that issue will follow.
The Harding partisans argue that
the logical result of the conference
will be to develop definitely whether
Governor Cox will stand with rtie
president regarding the league or
with democratic senators and others
In the party who have advisd accept
ance of the republican reservations.
Whatever the decision, the Harding
men declare , the result will be to
widen the breach over the treaty
within the democratic party.
