man. Ro5ertson's friends complain Bit
terIy Of The treatment he has received
from Mayer TaBcett. II is asserted that
TIE mayer promised the deputy United
STATES atfoFnew months ago that he would
support him for congress. When Tom
Carroll heard OF this he went 10 the
mayor and rernonstfAted fl pain terms
against such action. Carroll wants 10
run for congress for the third time. and
ne thinks he is entitled 10 the mayors
support for various reasons. one of which
is that he has conducted MS cnse In the
quo warranto suit brought by Mayor +. 5.
orr. The story goes that Fawcett told
Carroll that the statement that he Was
supporting Robertson was not true. and
that he was really and truly for him
tcafvolD. Altogether IL seems that Faw-
cstt really coQuetted with both the con-
gressonal aspirants with the view OF TAX
ing the delegation unto himself on the
fight for the nomination for governor.
The upshot OF the whole matter will be
that Fawcett Will De utterly unable TO
control the delegation Ia his interest. Ii
was openly asserted by the Tilllcum DELI
egates that they would under no circum-
stance vote for the mayor In the conven-
ton. They stand ready 10 give their
fifteen votes TO Lewis Of Seattle re-
ialsasory measure. OF course this con-
dltion OF affairs could result In but one
defeat of MAJOR Fawcett IN
his tight for the gubernaiorial nomina-
ton. With a divided and partly hostile
on his hands IL can not be ln-
agined that he viii come within miles
OF the falhllment OF his long cherished
ambitions His boom is already dead.
