TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES :— We, the undersigned, citizens of the United States and residents of the District of Western Washington, believing C. H. Hanford, U. S.

ATTRACTED WHOLE NATION Later Heney accepted the job of getting the higher up crooks in San Francisco, and his two-year fight there was the sensation of the whole country. He unearthed and broke up the reign of boodle and corruption there as he had previously done in Oregon. In California Heney’s great battle showed the people the character of the “beast in the jungle,” and the people there have never wavered or hesitated since in going after the “beast.” As one measure of relief, ifornia people are about to adopt the recall of judges. They have already kicked the Southern Pacific out of politics, elected the most progressive governor in the whole United States, and they are only just beginning.

After a short excursion into the interior, he sails for Seattle tomorrow by way of Skagway, and will make the trip to White Pass and into the edge of the Yukon country.
