And now everything is ready for Dr. Matthews and Frank Jacobs, the “movie man,” promptly at 10 o'clock to- morrow morning. “Hey,” panted H. J.

Howell, a puppet of the standpat ring, as chauffeur, a $300,000 politi- cal joy ride is on at Olympia now in broad daylight. And the people will pay the biil. No more scandalous raid on the public treasury | has been perpetrated in Howell, inspired by Ed Sims and his gang, has dug both paws into the treasury and is now m spending $300,000 to make a useless, needless, ex- travagantly elaborate check of the “Seven Sisters” and the other initiative bills. From all over the \state he has gathered political lackeys to the number lof 178, expressly for the purpose of making this check. And their jobs are going to last many weeks. | They are burning a lot of gasoline in this reck- \less joy ride to go over the very same road the regis- tration officials in the various counties have hake traversed. They are rechecking every name, th duly qualified officials have already done that part of the work. They are duplicating on the expense of the initiative measures—more than duplicating, if |possible. They’re piling up the cost of initi — |measures directly by the people—AND THEY’ |PILING UP THAT COST FOR THE OBVIOUS |PURPOSE OF DISCREDITING DIRECT LEGIS. LATION. make — The secretary of state is not required to this elaborate check. He is willfully misspending the money. He has constituted himself a judge on the initia- tive measures. He is no judge. He is only a clerk in the employ of the people of this state. The courts will do all the “expert” handwriting examination of the signatures that’s necessary, Mr. Secretary of State. | Your job is entirely clerical. You're supposed to receive the petitions and count the signatures that have already been checked up in the various counties and certified as genuine. And that doesn’s need 180 clerks, and $300,000, Mr. Howell.
