Langlie, seeking re– election as Governor for the State of Washington, received 192,000 primary election votes. This fine support of his administration by the people of this state is unmis– tabable proof that actions do speak louder than words.

His record of intelligent and honest service as councilman spoke for him and, in 1938, he was elected mayor of Seattle. OKLAHOMA SWINGS TO GOP ago.

A coroner's inquest was held after the shooting, but no prosecu– tion action was taken by State authorities. The case was then re– ferred for action to the Department of Justice by the War Department.
