Of the club. Theodore Roosevelt is
still alive and doing business at the
old stand but where is the club in
Spokane which the Spokesman-Review
announced had been so happily named
after the great president? A few
weeks ago this same club was so pros
porous. Meetings were held nightly.
According to the Spokesman-Review
members were fiocking to it in droves.
Can it be, Mr.. Politician of the Spokes-

and sat up night with, which you cared
for in so fatherly way, is dead! Was

Speaking about Governor McBride's
interference in the local affairs re-
minds the Pie-maker that in every
county Of the state his agents and fire.
quently the governor himself is there
debating to the people as to what they
should do in the shaping Of their poll
teal affairs. Sometime ago the Pie
maker predicted that Governor Nc
Bride was endeavoring to build up a
political machine in this state such as
would put to shame any other politi-
cal machine that ever before existed
in any state west Of the Mississippi
River Subsequent developments
along this line have more than proved
what was predicted in these columns
some months ago, and the Pie-maker
serves notice on Governor Mcbride at
this writing that unless he adopts diff
ferent political methods in his future
actions he is going to be the worse
beaten man that ever entered the poll
teal arena in the state of Washington.

In the recent campaign prior to the
county Republican convention consid-
cradle money was spent on both sides
in their efforts to secure control Of
the county. On the one side Col. Rid
path spent $4,000 and Mr.. Ankeny con-
tributed $25OO. On the other side
about $500 was used. 1t costs some
thing to be popular in Spokane.

In the past week there has been
some talk of the Republicans naming
an Independent legislative ticket in
Spokane county. Charles R. Conner
is the chief mover in the scheme. The
friends Of Turner in a round about
way have been encouraging Mr.. Con
nor to press the matter, but there is
no probability that such a ticket will
be named. The only reason offered
for the independent movement is the
fact that the Republican convention
instructed its legislative nominees to
vote for John L. Wilson.

The county central committee of
Pierce county has named August the
18th as the date for the holding of the
next convention there and from now on
hot fight for supremacy in the con-
vention will be waged by the warning
factions that are now quite prominent
in Pierce county. The friends of Gov.
Mcbride are being severely censured
by the rank and file of the party in
that county for the interference of the
governor in local affairs. When the
governor announced that Ed Hamil-
ton must be beaten at all hazards he
brought down upon himself an unnec-
eSsary amount of opposition Sena-
tor Hamilton will be renOminated and
Of course, reelected, in spite of the
governors opposition. If reports be
true, Pierce county of all the counties
Of the state will be the bitterest enc
my Governor Mcbride will have in
both the state convention and the next
legislature, all because he has elect

fairs Of that county.

tent bare out, the previous statement
along this line. 1t is herewith quoted
in full: The Republican county con-
ventiOn turned down Oliver Hall on
the ground that he had supported John
l.. wilson. The same convention en-
dorsed J. n Pickrell for Congress,
probably on the ground that while
chairman Of the county committee in
1898, he insisted that Oliver Hall
should support John L. Wilson. The
convention was about as consistent in
this matter as it was in nominating
Ankney candidates for the legislature
and then endorsing the railroad policy

According to The Daily Bulletins
senatorial forecast that paper hopes
Of Harold PrestOn's candidacy being
assisted in any great degree by Che
halle county, as it gives nearly all
the other papers in the county as sup
porters Of Levi Ankney. The Bulletin
may find itself slightly in error on
this score; all the racers have not yet
been trOtted out before the public. 1t
is still a possibility that the friends
Of Governor Mcbride may have some
thing to say. Then there is Chas
Sweeney of Spokane, and w. L. Jones
Of Yakima, who are both possible can
didates, SO that the Chehalis papers
are not by any means confined to the
choice of Preston, Wilson and Ankney

In speaking to Chairman Knicker-
booker about the campaign, he was of
the opinion that the campaign would
not open before the middle Of Septem-
Der Or the first of October. In my
opinion there will be no need of &C
tive campaign work being begun be-
fore October, and unless some unfore-
seen emergency arises to warrant me
to begin work before that time, | will
not open the campaign before the mid
die Of September and perhaps not until
the first of October. King county is
overwhelmingly Republican and there
no longer exists that bitter factiOnal
feeling that played such conspicuous
part in the last county and state cam
paign, and under such circumstances
every nominee of the Republican ticket
will be elected by a large majority.
No, Mr.. Van Houton's name was not
presented to the committee for con-
sideratiOn for the craftsmanship, nor
did Mr.. Van HOuten himself want it
presented. 1t was myself who sug-
gested his name, but he would not
have it as he had business interests
in Montana that will call him away
for a long time"

1t is almost certain that there will
be four tickets in the field in Spokane
county this fall. In addition to the
Republican and Democratic there will
be the PrOhibitionist and it is expect
ed a Socialist. If each of these two
parties names a ticket for all the coun-
ty offices as they say they will do, it
wiz be about a stand off as far as the
general effect will be on the other
two parties. The Prohibitionists will
draw their support from the Repub-
licans and the Socialists from the
Democrats. And it is probable the
vote of these two smaller parties will
be not far from the same in this
county.

county remains to be seen. Some of
those who will go from Spokane are
not in favor of a commission and 9th
ers do not think it wise from a party
standpoint to put commission plank
in the platform. Among others whom
the convention chose as delegates is
Judge M. j. Gordon, formerly on the
supreme bench of the state, and now
attorney for the Great Northern road
When he was chosen it was not sup
posed the county convention would
instruct its delegates to vote for a COM
mission bill. Judge Gordon is not
believed to be very heartily in sym
palhy with this plank in his county's
platform.
The Democrats Of Spokane county
are making a final effort to harmonize
the various elements of their partv
1t was thought that terms of Deace
would soon be signed on the return of
Senator Turner, but so far he has
been unsuccessful in inducing a cess
alton Of hostilities. Those Democrats
who do not dabble in city politics. but
are interested in the success of tha
ticket in the county and state. declare
they hope the party will never again
elect mayor in Spokane, for the re-
suit is always demoralizing to the
Democracy of the county. Mavor
Byrne wants to be a candidate for
governor and while he processes to be
for Turner for United States senator
as matter Of fact he does not care
straw for Turner. His followers de-
clare that they and the Populist wing
of the party have received nothing
from Turner and never expect to and
that 1t is foolish for Spokane county to
put aside every chance for state hon
ors in order to support Senator Tur-
ner, whom they all admit has but a
very slim chance to secure a re-elec-
ton.

AS far as Chehalis county is con-
cerned, we see no great need of a
commission. The county has but one
railway company, but that company
is spending a large maount of money
in the county, extending it's road. By
request of the Harbor people, the rail
way company has just put on an extra
daily passenger train, and in other
ways has shown a disposition to treat
it's patrons fairly.
There is a large amount of lumber
shipped East from this county, and
the lumbermen of the state take up
with the railroads the question Of
equitable freight rates. A commission
appointed by Governor Mcbride in
vainly endeavoring to harass the rail-
reads about cheapening the freight
tariff, for east-side wheat raisers might
injure the business Of those who ship
lumber to eastern points, to where they
must have reasonable through freight
rates to compete with lumber from the
south. A state commission would have
nothing to do with through freight
rates.-COsmOpolis Enterprise.

1t is for these reasons that Senator
Turner is making final effort to har-
monte matters. The mayors friends
claim they are willing to bury the
Ratchet, but they want to see some
concessions made by the Turner-Bald-
win-Democratic branch of the party,
concessions which will really amount
to something and yet not have to give
up everything themselves.

The PCpulist party of Spokane conn
ty is dead. There will never again he
fusion between this and the Democrat
&c party. Two years ago the Demo-
Gratis captured the name and the POM
llSts captured the game. After
the primaries a large number of the
Old line Democrats found that in MANY
instances they had been defeated for
delegates to their own convention by
the Populist members. They are now
afraid this wing of the party, led by
Mayor Byrne, will attempt to again
control the county convention. While
many OF Senator Turner's friends
sheer at the idea that the mayor and
the POpulist members of the party can
control the convention, the senator
himself has been reminded that two
years ago some of his best supports
were kept out of the convention bv
these same Populists and that in
the spring convention of the Democrat
lc party Mayor Byrne secured the
nomination because he was a Populist
and the Democrats of the old school
were helpless. The question is. can
the POpulists again control? Some say
no, for Senator Turner is too strong.
His personality and influence will
strengthen the old line Democrats. On
the other hand some of his friends
warn him that the Populists have con-
trolled the last two Democratic con-
ventiOns and they are now addition
ally strong because of the fact that
they have the mayor of the city and
his patronage and influence, and be-
cause the mayor, when he defeated the
Baldwin faction IN the organization of
the city council, showed himself a
Shrewd politician.

A hot fight has been going on for
the past month in Clallam and Jeffer-
sen counties over the state senator
as well as the three members Of the
legis lature from those counties, which
night has more or less involved the
United States senatOrship which is
g be filled by the next state legisla-
tuIe. 1t seems that only the Wilson
and Ankney interests were represent
ed in the fight and that no matter
which way it went Preston was not to
have single vote in those counties.
The Wilson men were supporting Sen
atOr Clapp for denomination and in
turn Senator Clapp was supporting the
Wilson men for the lower house nOmi-
nations. According to the latest dis
patches from that section, the Wilson
men have whipped out, and The Little
Wizard will get three or four more
votes than he had counted on from the
northwest. Clapp will be renominated
hands down and Carrigan and his
frienus will be nominated for the lower
house, which means their election al
most to an absolute certainty.

Advance that: Congressman Jones
tavOrs the denomination of Mr.. Cush-

interview is published. Mr.. Jones did
net express himself on the railroad
commission question" The friends of
Mr. Cushman want Mr.. Jones to under
stand that there is nothing short about
him (Cushman) except his hair, and
that's growing, and if he (Jones) IA
vOrs the denomination Of Cushman,
he (Cushman) heartily returns the
compliment and will endeavor to do
just as much for Jones, if not more
than Jones will do for him

If one would believe the assertions
in the Times the success of Mr.. Knick-
erbOcker in succeeding himself as
chairman Of the county central com
mittee meant a knockout blow to John
l.. Wilson's senatorial aspirations. The
fact of the matter is, neither Wilson,
anti-WilsOn, nor Preston cut any fig
ure in the election Of Mr. Knicker-
booker to the Craftsmanship, for there
are members Of the central committee
that voted for Mr. Knickerbocker who
are Wilson men every day in the year;
they are Wilson men for United States
senator even to the .detriment of Har-
cid Preston, hence there is no truth
in the cock and bull story published
by the Times to the effect that Wilson
was badly beaten in the organization

but decisive campaign between the
friends of l. B. KnickerbOcker, who
has twice before served as chairman
of the county central committee, and
P. d. Hughes, the well-knOwn attorney
and eX-member of the civil service
board Of this city, elected Mr.. Knick-

may be men in this county who are
better politicians and probably could
make a more brilliant campaign than
Mr.. KnickerbOcker but there is not
man connected with the political is
sues Of the day in this county more
conscientious as to his duty than he
and his past record fully justifies the
allegation While Mr.. Hughes may be
a brilliant organizer and a fine cam

the entire confidence of every nom
inee on the present ticket as we'll as
the confidence Of a majority of the Re
publicans in general, and he, there
fore, will make a most excellent cam
paign later on in the present year.
