HOT FIGHT WAGED BY FARM-LABOR LEADER ALARMS Washington Republican Machine Not So Sure of Its Ground in Campaign for Governor. Olympia. Wash., Oct. 23. With three complete' political tickets in the field, the result's of the coming election in the state of Washington are decidedly uncertain. Until a few weeks ago the state Republican machine felt quite sure of its ground, but the enthusiasm manifested lo cally as well as In other parts 01 the state by the adherents of the Farmer-Labor party has caused con siderable uneasiness In regard to the election of Louis K. Hart as. gover nor. Robert Bridges Is drawing; record crowds wherever he goes, and many of his old-time Democratic friends are supporting him. He spoke to the big gest campaign meeting In this locality during the month, although the crowd of 2000 persons had to be ransported qjx miles out of town to the auditorium of St. Martin's college at Lacey to hear him. BLACK WIS FAVOR , W. W. Black, Democratic nominee for governor, in making a vigorous cam paign Individually, but the party organ isation Is lacking In enthusiasm and Is experiencing considerable difficulty in getting funds. Oeorge F. Ftshburne, Democratic nominee, for congress from the Third Washington district, is mak ing a favorable impression on his speak ing tour. He recently ohallengedHomer T. Bone, Farmer-Labor nominee for the same po sition, to a joint debate, taking the position that the Democratic party oc cupies the liberal ground, - while the Farmer-Labor party has a radical foun dation. Bone's speaking dates are full up to election day. leaving little proba bility that the debate will be scheduled. HABITS ACTIONS HURT The campaign In this state centers on SINGING FROM SADDLE o Miss Harriet Leac-h, who sang with bcr sister " on the) Orpbe nm circuit two years xago, to cowgirl costume at the Pen dleton Round-Up, where she sans; from the back of a $8000 steed at the Happy Canyon event. MJum Leach fitted In with her surround ings with a red skirt, an orange blouse and a Mack felt, hat. Sbe will ride the same horse at the coming horse show of the Pacific International Livestock show in November. the contest for the governorship between Louis F. Hart, Republican and acting Incumbent, and ltobert Bridges, "Father of the Fort of Seattle" and former land commissioner. Hart's nullification of the acts and recommendations of the industrial wel fare conference, held last May. has alienated the support of liberal and labor sources. The recent fiasco on the Industrial welfare commission, causing all the liberal members to resign in dis gust, gave him the opportunity to use political sense, but he failed to appoint any person friendly to labor. To cap the climax, he has recently appointed to the industrial Insurance commission the field agent for the associated Indus tries, Major E. 8. Gill, who has been spending most of his time and energy during the last two years going about the state trying to break up labor unions. ; The Democratic nomjnee, Judge W. W. Black of Everett, has an excellent record as superior judge of 8nohomleh county. He was nominated on the Democratic ticket for governor in UU. but was dis qualified by the state supreme court from having his nomination because he held a state office at the time. Ernest Lister wag .then moved up from the lieutenant governor's' position on the ticket and was elected, and subsequently reelected. t. After spending fouf years In Olympia as land commissioner during the ad ministration of Governor Rogers, and serving eight years as port commissioner In Seattle, Bridges is . leading the Farmer-Labor party In the most bitter political campaign ever waged on state issues in Washington.

' : Chickens Mistake Piano for Hawk Hood rUvr, Oct. 3S.-Recent observa tions nave convinced local residents that chickens regard airplanes as a species of hawk. A few days ago a big flock of White Leghorns were noticed scurrying across a field to a brush patch. No hawk was in sight and the owner looked for a skunk. A few seconds later the throb of an airplane motor was beard. After the plane had passed from view the birds slowly emerged from their hiding place.

One of the greatest tests for economy in men's clothe is where you can discuss the finest examples and the prices they sell for, in the same advertisement. Prices must be discussed in cheap clothes to defend inferiority. And quality must be emphasized in high-priced clothes to condone the prices. But the feature of Hickey-Freeman clothes is, that the quality is high, while the prices are not. Hickey-Freeman clothes wear longer and hold their shape longer, because of Ihe grade of woolens and of the workman ship that is in them, and they are still acquitting themselves of good service long after most clothes have quit the service for good.
