He wanted us to get the point clearly. “IT am running on my standing as a lawyer and as a citizen,” he said, |I don’t want anything said about any- | thing else.” “Anything else,” referred to a war |record which any young man could be | | proud of. But Malcolm Douglas, candidate for | the republican nomination for prose- ;euting attorn running on a gt aw war record.” So we’re not going to mention how he did kitchen police and fatigue duty with the rookies to prepare himself for the military service of his country; | how he pa ssed the examination at the | first officers’ training schools; how he had to borrow the money to support his | bride and baby while he attended the training camp; how he was one of the first Americans ordered overseas, land- ing at Havre September 25, 1917. We'll not mention the details of his “bap- tism in fire’ in the old Verdun sector in the early heart-rending days of the war, and later, in the more promising days, at St. Mi- hiel, Thaiucourt, Jaulny, Rheims and the Meuse-Argonne. If you are interested in his “war record,’ you can look it up yourself in the official | government reports. It is easy enough, For | Malcolm Douglas has been twice cited for “and | | | | Kaufman | ftent } j coming bravery and also received the French Croix de Guerre. 1B Sees Seige must win or lose in his campaign for prosecutor, not on what he did in battle, but on his strength and ability and vigor and in- tegrity as a lawyer and his good citizenship. Douglas is 32 years old—but from early boyhood has had to earn his way. In his high school days in a little town in Ohio-—Waver- ly—he peddled milk to the neighbors at five cents a quart (yes, there used to be the time when that was the price). He also worked in the corn fields at 50 cents a day. At Ohio university, which he attended from 1905 to 1909, he earned his board by waiting on tables and doing odd jobs. Not- withstanding this inroad on his time, he was graduated at the age of 20 y specializing in history, winning the Brown prize in oratory in 1907, securing a place on the intercollegiate debating team in 1909, and being selected one of the commence- ment day speakers. Upon graduation, he taught at the Wichita (Kan.) high school. Anxious to come to the Northwest, he secured a teach- ing position in Spokane. He was then of- fered a position as graduate assistant, in the department of history in the University of Washington, where he had an opportunity to fulfill his ambition ef studying law and | supporting himself at the same time. oe ‘fab 1914, he took up the private practice law in Seattle, He had no capital Ww fag Big and some of his former professors (Turn to Page 2, Column 4) * 2° @ NO DOUBT, is quite right; he} WIFE SEES | BODIES AND COLLAPSES Car Drops 30 Feet After Crashing Thru Railing to Avoid Lumber Truck Plunging his automobile 30 feet| from the Fremont bridge into the) yard of the Bryant Lumber Co., Al bert Emil Kaufman, 43, proprietor | of the Post Keller Bar, First ave. | and Seneca st, and his 17-year-old) daughter, Louise, were crushed to death in the wreckage at 844 a m.

How Would You Like to Camp A municipal summ Seattle families! * This was the suggestion ad vanced Monday by Major Hugh M. Caldwell in a letter addressed to the board of park commission ers. The mayor asked that a com- mittee be appointed to investigate the feasibility of the plan. A suitable site could be ob- tained in the Rainier National Park, according to Caldwell. “The establishment of such a camp by the city of Seattle would enable the many Seattle residents who do not possess automobiles or the means with which to pay for an outing in the mountains to enjoy a rest and a real vacation,” the mayor declared. “The cost would be equal to or below that which they spend for living at home. This would be particularly true of family groups.” 'MOONEY GETS OUT MONTHLY Prisoner Directs Paper; At- tacks ‘Political Corruption” SAN QUENTIN PENITENTIARY, Cal, Aug. 23.—Thomas Mooney, serving a penitentiary sefitence as a result of the San Francisco prepar- edness day bomb explosion, today started publication of a monthly journal from his cell “This paper is gotten out on the fourth anniversary of the arrest and imprisonment of Mooney for a crime he had no more to do with than a child unborn,” the announcement of the first number gaid.
