EE SEATTLE, WASH., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1920. GLIS OR JONES: E hag republicans of Washington, in common with the rest of the people of this state, took a solemn pledge three years ago to defeat Sen. W. L. Jones at the earliest opportunity. Can they go back on their own promise now? And could the state possibly elect Jones if he were nominated? IF DOES NOT SEEM POSSIBLE. : "THREE years ago, Senator Jones couldn’t have mustered a al’s guard to vote for his renomination or election. He had fail- ed—failed pathetically—on the one big thing in this generation. The sword of war was upon us. It was swing- ing, ready to descend, menacingly waived at us by the kaiser—and U. S. Senator Jones, not content to vote himself neutral in our contro- versy. with , arose to for the a Germany, plead “Jones pro-German in vituperative attack,” was the iption applied to his perform- ance by his chief advocate today. “Washing- ton senator defends the kaiser and executive of the United States,” his apologist of today wrote at that time. Bring yourself back to that time—and re- member that HULET WELLS, RADICAL,’ WAS ARRESTED, TRIED, CONVICTED _ AND SENT TO THE FEDERAL PENITEN- TIARY FOR VERY LITTLE OTHER THAN, WHAT U. S. SENATOR JONES SAID AND DID. spree years ago * * * our boys joining the colors * * * wheatless andmeatless days * * * thecountry crying for team work * * * Liberty bonds * * * the Red Cross * * * the whole country ready for any sacri- fice. Can you imagine re-electing Senator Jones in that atmosphere of unselfish pa- triotism? Three years ago, in a race between Senator Jones and Col. Inglis, the result could not be in doubt. And it should not be today. It will not be if the people but remember. The Star would not feel true to the people, it would not feel true to itself, after its'stand for America thruout the war and before the war and after the war, if it did not cry out against the infamy of returning an unclean senator to congress. IT IS UNTHINKABLE! * ko NGLIS and Jones! What a record in con- trasts they present. While Jones erred for the kaiser, Inglis was giving up his home, his business, his civilian career to get ready for the grim struggle against the kaiser. Inglis did not err; he did not give aid or comfort to the enemy. It was Jones who erred in that direc- tion. Remember that if, knowing Inglis to be in the prime of life today, you should wonder * * * at the whiteness of his hair. Inglis went to war. He was on the firing line. He saw active duty on the other side. "THERE is ne militarism—not an ounce of it —in Inglis. He is not a professional soldier. From youth to this day, Inglis’ life has been an pete h abe: 1 oF hsope = grew up here, went to engag- ed in the fight for a livelihood here. ‘ TH LATE TWO CENTS IN SEATTLE BOULDER — CRUSHES LAD 10 Georgetown Youth Dies Al- most Instantly; Mother Hears Screams Caught by a falling nalf-ton in a hole in the back yard Tuesday, Ferdinand Sch was fatally injured.

Inglis soon became mani- fest “over there.” He came to France as a na- tional guard officer. His regiment was divid- ed up, as other national guard regiments were. Some of his men went to one division; the rest were assigned elsewhere, but Inglis always retained a command. His executive ability was quickly recognized—AND HE WAS THE ONLY NATIONAL GUARD COLONEL EVER TO COMMAND A BODY OF REGULARS. * * * WHICH, then, shall it be, Jones or Inglis?
