JOB FOR LIQUOR MAN Dry Leaders Get Shock; Davis in State Berth ROHIBITION leaders of the state were given a shock Wednesday when the |appointment of G. W. H. | Davis as director of efficiency, succeeding L. D. McArdle, be- came effective. Governor Hartley had announced previ- ously the appointment of but Davis’ record had almost been forgotten until it was dug up Wednesday. Davis is probably the most widely known of the many propagandists employed by the brewery and liquor inter- ests before the state went dry Prohibition leaders look upon \his appointment with alarm jand misgiving. While practicing law in Tacoma, Davis was the head of the extens- ive propaganda machinery of the brewery interests. during many years of anti-prohibition warfare. He was the director of the pro- booze fight, and his activities car- rr him to every part of the-state. CANDIDATE FOR | STATE SENATOR In addition to his active and open Pro-booze work, he was the chief | lobbyist of the brewers at Olympia | for many years, and entertained lav- ishly to fight the prohibition senti- ment that gradually swept over the | state. From 1906 to 1916, Davis was the best known figure around the lobbies at Olympia. Davis retired from public activ- ity for a few years after the defeat of the booze interests. He next came into public notice as a candi- date for state senator in Pierce county. He was nominated, two |years ago, but was defeated by Senator Oman in the finals. He then renewed his lobbying as the agent of Gov. Hart’s ma- chine, and worked industriously for Hart's program. As a reward he was named an official in the state taxation de- partment, where he had charge of income tax returns. He was still in the department when Gov. Hartley took office, and he immediately switched his support to the new governor. From Hart’s man Friday he be- came Hartley's man Friday and worked industriously to put Hart- ley’s program thru the last legis lature.
