ABSOLUTELY Pure


Judge Frank Allyn was prevailed upon
this afternoon to accompany Posr-lN-
TELLIsEycER bureau reporter to the West
ern Union telegraph Office in search OF II
Manager Reid looked through the busi-
ness Of April -. but did not find the mes
sage. At the Postal telegraph Manager
Bell refused to produce anything unless
all the men who signed, or whose names
were signed to the message, came forward
and demanded that it be exhibited. He
would not say whether the telegram had
been sent. All Of the men whose names
were signed to the telegram could not be
brought together. and OF course the search
had to be dropped But that telegram
will not down. No one connected with
either Of the political wings of the party
here seems to doubt its existence. And as
the PosT-INrELLieEx0ER stated today,
it - believed all bat Church directly or in.
directly authorized the sentiments ex.
pressed in it. Mr.. Allyn states the case
perhaps about as many Of the signers feel
about it. He says:
OF course never signed IL Still in part IL
represented my views, and of course the per-
sonal views held by me would never with my
consent have been used in that manner. Now
resent the Democratic party OF the state of
Washington" He did not represent In the APP
pointments which he sought, the Democratic
party OF this state. That might be all right to
state In private, or in public II occasion de-
manded IL Now take the concluding sentence:
ave enter our solemn protest against him."
That also might be all right, but 70 say that his
position on the national committee was an acct
dent, or that he supported only the most vicious
men IN the party. and that II he controlled the
patronage the honest element Of the party
would BE- absolutely disrupted, why, all that 10
out Of place. in my Judgment
Mr.. Allyn says he did not know that the
telegram would be sent. but it was gener-
ally understood at one time that an effort
would be made to set Wallace before the
administration in his true light, and in his
true light meant 10 all Of the warhorses
that he did not represent the better ele-
ment of the party. A hybrid Tillicum of
unbiased views on local politics says:
Tho ''warhorses'' have been downed. They
dug their own grave. The observation-disclosures

politically. they would not have been cremated
themselves.
Like Mr.. Collins, of Seattle. nearly oil
who are implicated in the TRADE on Wal
lace are waiting for Thomas Carroll to re-
turn. They want to see If he will dare
deny that he approves Of the dispatch.
Louis Foss is on record with the Tillicums
as saying Carroll did not dare face him
and deny that he signed the Grig9s-Col-
Inns telegram. Representative w. ID. An
derson and Miles w. Gibbons have the
credit Of knowing more about the actual
brainwork of getting up the dis
patch than any Of the signers.
They are not ready to talk freely just yet,
however. President Malone says he has
seen the original Dorsey Dowd dispatch at
the Western Union telegraph Office in con-
nection with Dowd. He says it is in
Leroy Palmer's handwriting. But it is
not supposed that Mr.. Palmer wrote the
solemn protest. message. Miles w. Glib
bons comes in for that honor. 1t is the
belief Of some of the Tillicums that the
original of the message has been secured
by its authors and confscated. 1t is said
that the personal references to the signers
of the dispatch were prepared at Washing
ton City by u. o. Finch, of Seattle. Carroll
is expected inside of week. when he will
be nailed to the cross. Because he in
dorsed Maloncy. it is said. he was held up
at Washington City and forced into de-
nouncing tho Griggs- Collins dispatch as n
forgery. and championing Maloney. He
also Endorsed Judson and others for mar
