Spokane, Aug. 27.-The recent visit
Of Senator Preston of Seattle to Spo-
kane and the friendly relations which
seem to exist between him and the
leading Wilson men of the city have
caused comment. In case Senator
Wilson finds it impossible to secure
his own election next winter he will
not throw up the spunge entirely and
go home leaving the legislature to Sc
lect whom it chooses without regard
to his wishes He does not do things
in that way. Those who recall the
circumstances surrounding the cleo
ton Of Senator Foster remember thai
when Senator Wilson found it impos-
sible to secure his own choice he made
terms with Foster which insured that
gentleman's election, and which have
been able to keep Senator Wilson
prominently before the people of the
state during the past two years and
have made him remarkably influential
in all matters of federal patronage
Senator Wilson is bitterly opposed to
the election of Levi Ankeny. He has
a two-ofld reason for wishing to de
feat the Walla Walla man. In the
first place he dislikes the man with
a dislike which is akin to hate. Sec
Ond, if he can not be elected this
year he desires that the man who is
elected should be a resident of the
west side of the mountains. If Mr.
Ankeny or any other man from the
east side is elected this winter it will
mean that Mr. Wilson will have no
chance two years from now. But il
Mr.. Wilson can not win for himself
this year he gives himself another
chance two years hence by throwing
the election to the west side of the
state.

The present congress is in itself con-

POLITICAL POT : PIE


Senator George Turner has been do
ing Seattle for the past week and still
fingers about. In an interview given
to The Times Senator Turner says he
is confident that the Democrats will
win in the coming fall election, and
thereby insure his return to the United
States senate next year. Senator Tur-
ner don't believe any such thing. He
don't believe that there is a ghost of a
show for him or any other Democrat
to win Perhaps no Republican will
win either, for each of the aspirants
may be so strong and neither of them
being willing to concede to the other
nor to elect a dark horse and thereby
deadlock the legislature, but if that is
not done Senator Turner believes as do
all of his followers that a Republican is
going to De e-ected to succeed him in
the United States senate from this
state in 1903. Of course the Senator
mishap that might overtake the Repub-
lican party and therefore he is not
viii ing, nor would it be good politics
on his part, to admit three months
prior TO the election, that the Demo
Gratis are already beaten, and there
fore the senator is cnly whistling to
keep his courage up, but he knows in
his heart OF hearts that he has no show
OF being reelected next year, but what
he is doing at the present time is shap-
ing the Democratic party to his own
ends, that he may in the future be it's
sole dictator. Sometimes to be the
head of a party machine is worth
good deal more to the individual than
party success, and it looks as though
Senator Turner is shaping his fortunes
to that end.

WhatcOm, Thurston and Chehalis
counties have held their conventions
since the last issue of The Republican
and each of them decided to fight Gov
ernor McBride's railroad commission
bill The governor was not expecting
such a body blow from the largest
county in the northwest, and when
seen on the streets OF Seattle one day
this week he was looking rather de-
jected from a political standpoint. I'm
less the Piemaker is sadly mistaken
the governor sees the handwriting on
the wall and it looks like defeat for
him. Pierce county is against the gov
ernor and on a call vote it is highly
probable that a majority of the dele
gates from King county will vote
against the governors railroad policy,
and if a majority vote against it it
is quite likely all Of them will vote
against it, and with these two big
counties against him aided by What
com and Snohomish it begins to look
as though the next Republican state
convention will not insert an anti-rail-
road plank such as Governor Mcbride
would have it do in it's plat
form If the governor fails tt
get the convention to instruct for
the insertion of his plank in the plat
form he has failed as a politician in

Under such conditions does not
natural alliance lie between Will
son and Preston? Many people are
beginning to think that while the al
lance is not made, the parties thereto
are placing themselves where it will
be easy to bring about a uniting of the
forces when the proper time comes
In fact the forces of Senator Foster
in most cases are working for An
keny, which of itself would throw the
Wilson and Preston people together
in opposition to any Ankeny-FOster
combine which may develop. But il
may be little difficult for the sup
porters of Wilson and Preston to
agree on a plan of fusion. If Wilson
can go into the fight with more votes
than Preston it is quite likely that
the Preston men can be induced to
later turn over to Wilson a large por-
tiOn of the Preston strength. But il
Preston starts out with a bigger vote
than Wilson it is probable that the
Preston support will not have the
staying qualities that the Wilson
strength will possess. 1t is suppose,
that the forces of Preston are no,
bound to him as strongly as are either
the forces of Wilson or Ankeny. This
will make Wilson the stronger of the
two if a merger of their forces is
made. 1t would mean that the Pres
ton strength is more apt to go to Will
son than is the Wilson strength to go
to Preston. But if Wilson is con-
vinced that he can not win it is prob
able that he will gladly give the Sc
attic man his support rather than give
it to Mr.. Ankeny.

that there are in that city about 1884,
78S Jews. In Manhatten every fourth
person is a Jew. These figures are
based upon the Jewish burials from
time to time, which are as follows:
The Jewish burials amounted in 1901
to 1897, and as the death rate in the
most congested Jewish district is little
over fifteen per thousand, it implies a
population of 533, 1873 in the middle of
1901. Since that time no less than &c.
225 Jews have arrived at New York
and stayed here, while by natural in
crease of births over deaths another
12,4OO would be added up to August
L OF this year, making a grand total
of 584,788.
The number Of Jewish marriages in
Manhattan alone in 1901 was 5,O62.
which at very high marriage rate
OF ten per thousand would Imply a
population of 5O6,2OO, to which has to
be added the 10000 Jews in Brooklyn
and the increase by immigration and
excess Of births.
The following, from the New York
Age, edited by one Of the ablest jour
nalistic writer's of this country and
by odds the very ablest among the
Negroes, touching the recent riot in
New York, will doubtless be read by
both Jews and Negroes with much in
terest:
Two weeks ago Rabbi Joseph died
and there was big funeral on New
4ork's East Side, for the Rabbi was
a famous preacher in Israel. But there
is lot Of prejudice against the Jew
lsh race, as there is against the Afro
American race, and some miscreant
can always be found to interrupt a
Jewish ceremony, whether of a gay or
solemn character. The streak of black
guardlsm in the American character.

is disreputable feature which cannot
be ignored and which obtrudes itself
in most unexpected ways and places.
and often precipitates sharp clashes
against law and order. When the fu-
neral procession reached a certain
point in its progress it was interrupt
ed by some Of the employees Of a fac
tory; this was Iesented " the mourn
ers, and a general mix-up ensued, soon
developing into serious riot.
When matters had reached the riot
point the police appeared, and, charg-
ing into the crowd roughly, saw to it
that the Jewish mOurners were thor
oughly shaken up. The New York
police can always be depended upon
to take the wrong course, to hit the
wrong head, and to arrest the wrong
man in mix-up. The Jewish mourn
ers were badly used by the police.
What did the Jews do about it? Did
they accept their clubbing as a mat
ter Of course? Not much. They put
the machinery of the law in motion;
they held big meetings and denounced
and protested against the outrage;
and they will get some sort of redress.
They are rich; they are organized;
they follow their leaders; they fight
for their rights. The Afro-Americans
have a great deal to learn from the
Jewish people, who have a hard road
to travel in this country and most of
the countries Of Europe; but they keep
pegging away in all directions, keep
on fighting for a square DEAL and
making and saving money with which
to back up their contentious.

by him in the Atlantic Monthly on the
Negro Problem, Andrew Sledd. pro-
lessor of Latin in Emery College, ten

stated that the Negro is not given his
rights in the South and that the ma
Jority OF them lynched is not for the
crime OF assault but for crimes of the
most petty character. He also stated
that the white people of the South
have a natural born prejudice against
the Negro and regard him as the most
inferior being when compared with
members of other races. For these
truthful facts and plain utterances

the very outset of his career and his
nomination for governor, which he is
fighting for, will fall fiat two years
before it will be time for it to come
before the nominating convention. In
other words the governor must win in
the fight he has undertaken at the
coming state convention or he had as
well retire from the political field for
all time to com for, in the language of
the under world, he will be a dead
one.
according to The Times and the
Spokesman-Review John L. Wilson has
lost Whatcom county. The Pie Maker
remembers that both of these papers
said that Wilson had lost Spokane
county as well, but somehow or other
Wilson named every nominee for the
legislature from that county and
named every delegate to the state con
VentiOn, and if the same condition of
affairs exists in Whatcom county il
is more than likely that The Times
and the Review are preaching and
publishing their prejudices to Wilson
rather than the absolute facts of the
political situation in the various coun-
ties OF the state. Unless the Pie-Mak-
er is sadly mistaken Whatcom county
in the next legislature will give Pres
ton one vote, Ankney two, and Wilson
two on the first call What the results
will be when either Preston, Ankney
or Wilson drops out of the fight. if
they ever do, is more than the Pie
Maker would dare predict at this time,
but he is of the opinion that Wilson
has more friends in Whatcom county,
who will be in the next legislature, un-
less Democratic landslide should ov-
ertake the county, than any of the al
ready announced senatorial aspirants
But few more county conventions
are to be held when the tale, so far as
nominations and endorsements are
concerned, will have been told. The
conventions which are to be held will
from senatorial standpoint favor Will
son and Preston with perhaps one Ank
ney vote. All of the counties will be
against Mcbride.
