Scope and content
Harry E. B. Ault celebrated his 61st birthday on October 30th. At the time this picture was taken, Mr. Ault was a deputy U.S. Marshal. Before being appointed deputy marshal he had led a very different life centering around labor, publishing and politics. Born in Kentucky in 1883, he grew up at Equality, one of the early co-operative colonies near Bellingham. In 1900, when only seventeen, he edited "Industrial Freedom". By 1903 he was associate editor of the Seattle paper "The Socialist". He went on to edite the "Daily Union Record", and in 1936 ran against Warren G. Magnuson for congress. Harry Ault died January 5, 1961 at the age of 77.(T. Times, 10/31/44, p. 18).
