Special Dispatch to the Post Int elligencer.
| SPOKANE, May Eat the meeting of
the Spokane Mckinley club, held this
week, resolution was passed unanimous.
| ly endorsing Governor Roosevelt for the
Republican nominee for vice president.
The club has given up the idea Of
wigwam In Spokane for this coming
| campaign, and instead has engaged a
| large hall for political gatherings. which
will have a seating capacity of over 700.
| An invitation from the Bryan club for a
series of joint debates on national issues
was joyfuIly accepted by the meeting.
Chairman Mallory and Secretary God
dard, of the State Democratic Central
committee. have opened up the state head
i quarters in the Jameson block In this
| city. from where they will conduct the
4 campaign, at least up 10 the time of the
state nominating convention. Many fus-
ion leaders from all parts OF the state are
| to be seen here daily, holding consulta-
| tons and receiving instructions. The
| Hart-Godwin fight in King county is at
| tracing considerable attention in Spo-
| kane. The consensus OF opinion here is
| that the fight must be settled at home, as
| the state convention WIFI have none of 1t.
| A matter that Is now causing Chairman
| Mallory and the local Democracy much
worry is where in Spokane can they find
| hall large enough to mold their state
| large enough for the purpose. but 1t was
previously engaged and cannot be had for
the convention.
The Republicans of Spokane county are
very much In evidence this spring. as was
again evidenced on Monday night, when
upward Of 1000 Republicans from the
southern part of the county assembled
at Fairfield and assisted In forming new
Mckinley club. A majority OF those pres
ent were farmers, who left their seeding
to attend the meeting. Senator Wilson
was called upon for speech. and was
given a rousing welcome.
Reports coming down from Stevens
county Indicate that w. e. Richardson.
joint judge of Spokane and Stevens coun-
ties.is going up against the real thing when
he comes up for denomination at the joint
fusion convention which this year will
probably be held at Colvile He is too
pronounced socialist to stand with the
Democrats to any great extent. and ne
has alienated himself with his former
friends. the Populists. by appointing as his
court baiiff at Colville. Jacob Stetzel, who,
since the memory of man runneth. has
presided as chairman of the Republican
central committee OF that county, and
still presides as such.
For these. and other good and SUFFICIENT
reasons. II is said that Judge Richardson
will be handed out cold deck at the
forthcoming convention. The same reports
state that Governor Rogers has not in
creased his popularity In Stevens county.
