The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1901-08-02

An interesting story from a polit-
zeal standpoint is being told about
the streets this week, which is to
the ffeect that it is really fact that
political differences have sprung up
between ex-senator Wilson and
Charley Hopkins, whom Senator
Foster some time ago decided to
name as United States marshal. Mr..
Hopkins should have been named
July list, but he was not, and Mr..
Ide is still holding on to the place
and believes that he will continue to
hold it, and thereby hangs a tale.
Just what caused the political split
between Hopkins and Wilson, the
public has not been informed as yet,
and perhaps never will be, but if it
be true then it begins to appear to
those who have watched the trend
of politics in this state, that VIII
son it still a factor in national poll
tics and has been able to hold up
Mr.. Hopkins appointment despite
Senator Fosters determination to
him. Senator Foster de-
clared prior to July LIST that the APP
pointment would be made July LIST,
but it was not made Rumor has it
that a political break occurred be-
tween Wilson, Hopkins and Foster
prior to that time and that Hopkins
decided to cast his political lot with
Foster. Then rumor further has it
that Mr.. Wilson at once left for
Washington city, and, strange to
say, July LIST came and went and no
was made. 1t is now
LIST, and still nothing has
been heard Of the matter. This
would seem to indicate that Mr.
Wilson has been able to call Sen
ator Fosters hand and prevent the
Of Mr.. Hopkins,
though the latter was formerly VIII
sons senatorial manager. In the
Mr.. Ide has been simply
saving wood and saying nothing,
that Wilson would be able
to save him, and there are others
who believe the same way.

publican politicians and it is more
than likely that he will be accepted
by them and King county will go to
the next state legislature as a unit
for his election to the United States
senate.
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1901-08-02

Much grumbling is being heard
on the streets these days among Re
publican politicians on account of
some Of the county officials retain
ing Populists and Democrats in Of
flee for months after a change has
been made, and the complaint, in
the opinion Of the Piemaker, is not
without just foundation, for it will
be remembered that when the Pop
uEsts captured the county in 1896
and took office in 1897, that within
a month after the change had been
made there were not over three Re
publicans that held positions under
Republican officials to be found in
the King county court house, and
the Piemaker hardly thinks it fair
that the Republicans continue Pop
ulists in office when there are plenty
of good Republicans to take their
places, and unless the practice is
brought to a sudden halt an open
revolution is going to break out
among the Republicans, and those
officials who have their eye on a sec
ond term will find that they have in
iured instead Of strengthened their
prospects Of being renominated. A
hint to the wise should be sufficient
and this gentle hint from The Re
publican should be needed by those
county officials that are doing as
herein mentioned.

1t will be remembered that Mad
am Rumor had it that Piper was no
longer in the good graces of the
Walla Walla banker, who desires to
90 to the United States senate, and
that for the future campaigns he
intended selecting a new manager.
If this be true, and there seems to
be no doubt Of it, this new paper
contemplated by Mr. Pip per would
have no special mission to perform
nor no special field to fill 1t would
neither represent what is common
ly known as the Ankeny nor the
Wilson faction, though it might rep
resent the Turner faction, and it
is being limited on this point that
Turner contemplates returning to
the Republican party and bringing
with him as many Pops and Demo-
Gratis as he possibly can. If this be
true, Mr.. Piper will probably rep
resent his political interests in this
contemplated daily paper.
Speaking Of the continued candi-
dacy Of Levi Ankeny, it is being cur
rently reported on the streets at
present that Mr. Ankeny has select
ed new manager for King county
and it is none other than ex-Sheriff
A. T. Vandevanter, and as his assist
ant, it is also reported, ex-senator
John Wooding has been selected.
While Mr.. Vandevanter took no ac-
tive part in Mr.. Ankeny's behalf in
the last senatorial campaign, yet
there is no doubt but that he was a
silent if not active supporter of Mr..
Ankeny, and did make some over
lures in his behalf, so goes the story,
by offering one of the members of
the legislature a $1,000 jackpot if he
would support Mr.. Ankeny instead
Of John L. Wilson. 1t is believed
that the man to whom this offer was
made would be able to swing two
other members of the legislature
and thereby assure Mr.. Ankeny's
election, but the offer was turned
down cold bloodedly, and some very
unpleasant words passed between
the member and Mr.. Vandevanter.
This is all political gossip and the
facts cannot be vOuched for by the
Piemaker, but there seems to be
more truth than poetry in it. With
these rumors afoat they have the
tendency Of substantiating the more
recent rumor that Mr.. Vandevanter
Will act as Mr.. Ankeny's manager
in the coming campaign and that
Mr.. Wooding will assist him. The
readers of the Political Pie Pot will
remember that it related early in
the present year Of a political gath
ering at Walla Walla in which Mr..
Vandevanter, Mr. Wooding and Mr..
Ankeny all participated, and that
meeting, strange to say, was in the
home of Mr.. Ankeny. That such
meeting had political significance
goes without saying and it certainly
verifes to some extent the theory
that Mr.. Vandevanter is going to
be an active Ankeny man next year.

The Whittelsey defalcation of
$4,000 is the political gossip of the
town at present, and while every
body believes that there is a short
age in Mr. Whittelsey's accounts, no
body believes that he is ACCOUNTABLE
for the shortage, but as chief officer
he is absolutely responsible for ev-
erything that was done by any Of
his deputies, and now that the
shortage is an actual fact, it is due
the voters of this county that legal
steps be taken to punish those re-
sponsible for it. That Mr.. Whit
telsey is absolutely honest and free
from even the faint of suspicion in
making away with this amount Of
money goes without saying, but this
does not satisfy the law, and some
legal steps should be taken at once
by the prosecuting attorney to bring
the matter squarely before the
courts and locate the guilty parties.
The Times has been painfully silent
on this matter, simply because it did
not get the first publishing of the
bit of scandal-don't you know, but
that does not Justify it for keeping
still to shield a man Of its party,
who is found short, in recovering
the county's funds, and despite his
political prominence, his social
standing, and estimableness as a cit
izen, he should be arraigned in
court and called upon to explain the
workings of his office that the one
responsible for this shortage may be
publicly exposed.

UNIONS IN KAlISPELL.
Surprising Growth Of Unionism in
This Vicinity.

kalispell is rapidly coming to the
front as union town and will soon
rank in that respect with any town
of similar population in the state. Up
to October "a, when the organizer
first arrived in this city, there was
but two or three unions in the city.
At the present time the union
strength of the city is about $50, in
Guiding all manners of crafts. This
does not include the carpenters and
joiners' union or the trainmen's I'M
ions. The carpenters union is or
ganized under it's own charter and
numbers about Is members.
The Kalispell Federal Labor Union
No. It's was organized in this city
about a month ago by Organizer r.
G.. Scott of Butte, who was sent here
for that purpose. Mr.. SCOTS efforts
have met with great success, not only
in Kalispell but in oil the surround
ing lumber camps as well. There is
hardly trade of any kind in the city
but which is largely represented and
on each meeting night many new
members are initiated.
In the surrounding country the
large majority Of the lumbermen
have also been organized into unions,
but with the exception of the Whit
fish Lumbermen's union and the Som
ers Lumbermen's union, the Federal
Union of this city has jurisdiction
over them. The number of union lum
bermen thus under the protection of
the Kalispell union numbers about
1870, making the strength of the local
union about 500 members. The
growth of unionism in the vicinity
of Kalispell has been exceedingly
rapid and is a source of qualification
to the organizers who are at work
here.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT GATEWAY
Killed While Attempting to ThaM
Frozen Dynamite.

sheriff at Belt. was almost instantly
killed by the explosion of some dyna-
mite he was thawing at Gateway last
week. Bursell was employed by Con
tractor George Chew on the grading
of the Crows Nest Pass railway. and
when he went to use the dynamite it
was found to be frozen. In the en-
deavor to thaw it out he placed it
too near the fire and tremendous
explosion followed. The unfortunate
man was blown fully 20 feet and was
thrown with awful force against a
stump. causing his death a short time
afterwards.

and the funeral was held on Thanks
giving day. the body being inferred
near Gateway. AS far as could be
learned the deceased has no relatives
living in Montana. but a sister
resides in Chicago. He had lived for
several years at Belt and is we'll
known at that place. 1t was at first
decided to have his body brought to
Kalispell and afterwards shipped to
Belt. but for some reason the idea
was abandoned.

The Flathead oil field is certainly
better looking field than either the
Coolinga or Kern river field. The
first company in the Coolinga field
sold it's stock for so cents and was
capitalized for 100000. just as the
Flathead company is. Some sneered
at the stock. Some bought. The
people who bought the stock in less
than eleven months got $3.50 for each
dollar invested. The people who
laughed got left. That is going to
