Scope and content
A small motorcade in support of State Senator E.L. French traveled on the east side of A Street, looking south, on September 5, 1924. Senator French, of Vancouver, sought the Republican gubernatorial nomination in the upcoming elections. A large banner on the first touring car announced that "Pierce County Solid For French." His carvan made stops that day at Auburn, Enumclaw, Buckley, Sumner, Puyallup, Kapowsin and Eatonville. Senator French would speak at a rally held on his behalf on September 6th at the Tacoma Theater. However, Roland Hartley, Republican lumberman from Everett, would go on to defeat him in the primaries . Col. Hartley was to be elected governor and serve two terms.
