Big Fight for Supremacy in Local
Affafra Tadav

PORTLAND, Or, June H.-Isrecial. THE
municipal election which takes place to-
morrow in the consolidated city of Port
land has probably excited more interest
than any similar event in the city's his
tory. There are two tickets in the field, a
straight Republican and citizens ticket.
The Democrats made no nominations, but
indorsed the citizens ticket on the
straight issue between the two parties.
Portland is usually Republican by large
majority, but in the present contest it is
conceded that the citizens ticket will
draw largely from the Republican ranks.

poses That 1t still Continues.
TACOMA, June 14.-(Special. For some
time it has been understood by those not
on the "inside," that public gambling
had been suppressed in this city.
r. Newman, an ex-gambler, has filed
a deposition with the county clerk,
stating that the various old games
are in progress at the Paragon, Warwick
and Milwaukee saloons and at the Ma
tional and Comique theaters. Newman
filed the deposition Friday night, but the
same was not indexed in the customary
fashion, and was consequently kept out of
reach of newspaper reporters until New
man himself made the facts public.
Newman is classed as a "sorehead" by
the saloon-men. He was accused of being
on the fence during the last municipal
election, and therefore was not allowed to
open up a gambling g-house himself.

1.-THE Alliance as political movement at
least, is certainly going to smash, on this
sub-trcasury, or the scheme itself will go to
smash. The same is true Of the Peoples
party. The Western National Alliance has
refused to endorse the scheme and the
National Grange, has, in an official docu-
ment, denounced il as 'unwise and imprac-
ticable," 1t the blindest political folly to
persist, under the circumstances, in pushing
such u measure to the front as the test Of
fealty to the movement.

Pacific LAUNDERING mills. His clothing
was found neatly folded up on the bank
Of the river. He was man of much

half a chance, and are burning in many
places. The number Of campers in
various localities adds to the danger"
