Mt “WASH BETS” SHOULD NOT FOOL STAR—SATURDAY, NOV. 4, 1916 When Mr, Hughes was president and gium was raided He said to Cousin Albert, “Sire, your country is invaded, Hut don't let that annoy, for I'm going to seo you thru; My hyphenated friends and I will show you what we'll do. We're going to stop the war right here to gave us from disgrace, For behind my windy whiskers is a most determined face Such the sentiment and views, Of your Uncle Charley Hughes, PACE 6 And any lesser course were Bryanistical and base.” Oh, excuse me, Mr. Hughes, Did you say these weren't your views? Oh, very well, perhaps they weren't, but now that you've begun, Suppose you go ahead and say just what you would have done! Then, when the Lusitania was swallowed tn the brine, With Mr, Hughes in office, did he deign to drop a line? Not he! he scorned to palter and he scorned to send a note; Ho simply jumped to Berlin d he selzed the kalser's throat, And he bumped him on the ceiling and he bounc ed him on the ground, Til the kaiser promised he'd return the people he had drowned. For, sald he, “He's Mr, Hughes, Plain and lucid in his views, \nd I can’t abuse America as long as he's around.” Pardon, Mr. Hughes, You say That might not have been your way? Well, you've carped at Woodrow Wilson from the dawn to set of sun, So now suppose you tell us what you really would have done! When the murderer of Madero grinned and reached his bloody hand, Then Mr. Hughes fell on his neck and ordered out the band; For, said he, “My doar assassin, go ahead and do your worst But please protect the property of gentle Mr. Hearst; For, if you don’t, I'll intervene, no matter what the cost; For property must be preserved, tho human lives be los For, you see, I'm Mr, Hughes, Sane and simple In my views, And@ I give them out as freely as the steam from an exhaust.” Ob, excuse mo, did you mention Such had not been your intention? Well, you've peppered Mr, Wilson with your little popping gun, So now suppose you tell us what you really would have donel When the ratiroad strike was on us and our dafly lives molested You, as a leading citizen, what was {t you suggested? What? Not a solitary word? You sat back in deriston Resolved to bark and badger at no matter what decision? When Disaster lowered upon us, When the nation faced tts fate, You only could remember that you were a Candidate? That your measure, Mr, Hughes? That the substance of your “views”? And your foresight {s as crooked as your hindsight isn't straight? Then there's nothing left to tell, And your silence serves as well. What Wilson DID, we know, His deeds stand squarely tn the sun, But, you in his place, only God knows what you WOULD have done!

We reported this to Lundin, and he gave us instructions to let this place alone. “We were in a pool hall on Pine st. and asked a young fellow where we could get some liquor, He said, ne with me, and I can get you all you want.’ He took us to the Arcade hotel, on Second ave., where we bought one pint of liquor from the hotel man ager. We turned this over to Lundin's office and were instructed not to bother this place. “We received information that the New Richelieu hotel, on Third ave, was selling liquor. Lundin gave us instructions to get this information on this hotel. We obtained three or fuur bottles of beer at this place and turned it over to Lundin a office, but there was no prosecution in this case, We spent about three days getting the information on this hotel. The cost of getting this place was about $30.00. “When we would turn in information in regard to the places, Lundin’s chief investigator would tell us, ‘I can not give you any instructions until I have con- sulted Mr. Lundin.’ He said, ‘I have to get my in- structions from him and then tell you what to do, and want you to understand not to go to any place unless wo tell you to.’ “There is a place on Sixth ave, 8. where a woman has three girls working for her, and she sells liquor. I reported this place to Lundin’s office, but he would not let us bother this place “In regard to the drug stores, Lundin's office would pick out certain ones for us to work upon, and told us to get a certain place, no matter what it cost. We would put in on an average of one hour per day on one place, when we could have worked five or six places a day. Where we would spend a week or ten days getting one plac we could have gotten four or five places in the same time. “We have turned in information on several places upon which Lundin’s office did not take any ac- tion. We received instructions to let the places alone that were selling liquor, “We have spent time and money on places, and got the evidence to prosecute, but there was no action taken by Lundin’s office “Th ia a report for each and every day on these places, and an expense account where the mon ey wa nt on each and every place, and if all in vestigators’ reports for each day, from March Ist to May 10th, can be had, all of the foregoing, and more, will be proven.” Robert G.

CASEY ASKS A QUESTION It is being publicly announced by the advocates of temperance fn the streets of Seattle that there are three thousand saloons (bootleggers) selling whisky in Seattle today, while there were only three hundred up till January Ist, 1916. | How can the law-abiding citizens of King county approve such lack of enforcement of the law? How can the temperance people vote for a man for prose- cuuing attorney who is unable and inefficient to sup- press crime? Do the taxpayers want to continue such an expensive and helpless prosecutor as Lundin in office? It seems he is merely conducting a students’ law school, or law-experiment station, instead of be- ing a capable legal adviser of King county, The utter lack of proper organization in his office, and the mere boys he has for deputies, is no guarantee to the taxpayers and the law-abiding citizens that the conditions will mend during Lundin’s term of office There are many Women also engaged in (his de moralizing liquor traffic, to the shame and disgrace of tho prosecuting attorney's office, Will you women voters tolerate such reign of crime because of the inability of the present prosecutor? * Does it not seem time to change? | THOMAS J.
