a. The Bremerton navy yard will be fitted up for battleship construction at once. This important news—final congressional action on the appropriation ~-was published in The Star’s Pink edition Friday night. Further details were again published in the regular editions of The Star Saturday afternoon. None of the other papers in this city had a word of this until Sunday. The Star beat them almost 48 hours. You must get The Star to read the BIG NEWS. enn " JIM LIV ES IN TACOMA HE WANTS TO BE GOV GEKORGE PUT HIS UMBRELLA IN THE CORNER, ERNOR, HE'S THE NEXT MAN TO BE WRITTEN ~—— UP IN A GOODHUMORED VEIN IN THE STAT TOOK OFF HI8 RUBBERS, AND PREDICTED, MON- WATCH FOR IT IN TO! 3 ISSUE IN TOMORROW'S ISSUE DAY TONIGHT AND TUESDAY, GENERALLY THE ONLY PAPER IN SEATTLE THAT DARES TO PRINT THE NEWS VOLUME 19. SEATTLE, WASH, MONDAY, JULY 17, 1916. Skal"Ated’ ONE CENT FAIR, WARMER TUESDAY BREWS STANDS, te RAID IS PLANNED ON GOVERNOR'S OFFICE} Secret Plotters Have It All Cut and Dried for Lee; Independents Must Rally to McBride Ernest Lister, democrat; Henry McBride, progressive republican: George A. Lee, old guard politician. One of these three will be the next governor of Washington. The old guard politicians and the standpat newspapers have “handpicked” George A. Lee. Months ‘ ago they met—these professional politicians and ncwspaper “bosses”—for the purpose of choosing a man whom they can control. THEY DECIDED LEE WAS THEIR MAN, AND LEE IS WILLING TO BE THEIR MAN. Lee was appointed by Gov. Hay first to the state industrial insurance board and then to the public service commis- sion. Just as Hay himself was “putty” in the hands of the professional politicians and newspaper “bosses,” so was Lee. THe state nae OF HIS ADMINISTRATION AS CHAIRMAN OF THE INDUSTRIAL INSURANCE BOARD, LEE LEFT JOHN F. GILLIES, WHO ROBBED As chairman of the public service commission, the Lee administration was marked by the scandal of one of the state engineers holding up the city of Centralia for a large fee in a valuation case, tho the state was supposed to do it free. When Lee went out of office with Hay, he went into the service, as legal adviser, of the very corporations who had business before the public service commission, of which he had been a member. LEE’S GREATEST NOTORIETY, HOWEVER, WAS REACHED WHEN HE PUBLICLY CHAMPIONED SENATE BILL 46, WHICH SOUGHT TO PERPETUATE ALL EXISTING FRANCHISES OF PRIVATE UTILITY CORPORATIONS, AND INTENDED TO EXCLUDE ALL OTH- ERS, EITHER CITIES OR PRIVATE CORPORATIONS, FROM EVER SECURING A COMPETING FRANCHISE. HIS ADVOCACY OF THIS BILL FAIRLY GIVES THE MEASURE OF GEORGE A. LEE AND MAKES HIM THE LOGICAL CHOICE OF THE “BOSSES.” Henry McBride was governor of Washington from 1901 to 1905. He impressed the state with three things: That he is independent, that his word is good, and that his appointments were made on the basis of efficiency. McBride fought for the establishment of the railway commission. He secured the passage of a law which abol- ished railway passes, thus killing off that “legitimized” bribe of legislators and state officials. HIS INDEPENDENCE COST HIM A RENOMINATION, FOR THE POLITICAL BOSSES CONTROLLED THE CONVENTION IN THOSE DAYS. The railroad lobbyists beat him. McBride’s administration was a great step forward in the interests of cleaner politics and state administration. Should McBride be the republican nominee and Lister the democratic choice, the people of the state can feel themselves secure, no matter who nally elected. Should Lee be the republican choice, the people will have good cause for worry. /f the people do not want a recurrence of the political bossism of other days, The Star sincerely believes it their duty to go into the WASHINGTONIAN SEEKERS AFTER WORK MAN FOUND DEAD gc OIE: Saturday afternoon | went to the men's employment agency, in the | & | WASHINGTON, July 17.— basement of the eity-county bullding Orders were issued by Chief hy 3 | Accompanying the act with a | There is only one way of entering the employment agency.
