This opportunity is NOT fairly given in Initia- tive Bill No. 33, filed yesterday at Olympia. Altho 33 is designated as a nonpartisan ction measure, it is a misnomer. It is a prefer- ential ballot law; it is a presidential primary law; it is even a political party law under certain contin- gencies. It is all these and more. It provides for additional! holidays on election and primary days, and includes several other propositions. None of these has anything to do with the question of nonpartisanship. The people are entitled to vote on nonpartisan- ship without having that question complicated by others. A man may refuse in these war times to sanction two or three more holidays a year, and yet favor nonpartisanship. Shall his vote be jeopardized because too many unrelated issues are involved in Bill No, 3% Those who are responsible for No. 33 have no h | 1- Attack on U.S. Sector Continues Enemy Apparently Testing Out Spirit of Americans Under Bombardment YANKS SHOW GAMENESS WASHINGTON, Feb. 6. —Under almost ceaseless fire from the German ba By Rocks the North End Believe Personal Enemies of Owner Are Responsible for Blast ROOF IS DEMOLISHED The North End was rocked at M7 o'clock Tuesday night by an explosion which blew off the roof from a fireworks factory at Stone way and 90th st, owned by James De Morco, Mystery shronds the explosion, which oc- curred after the plant had been closed for the night.
