Combine With -JamiSon
Supporters and Will
Punish Him.

The Byrne and Jameson democracy
have started what they term a fight
to a finish against Comptroller Floyd
L. Daggett and City Treasurer Harry
Eggleston because the latter are
blamed for starting the Rasher may
orally boom. Claim Is made by ad-
herents of both Byrne and Jameson
that they can defeat the denomination
Of both the comptroller and treasurer
and will combine to do 1t. Men have
been agreed upon to make the race
for these two positions.
To many democrats one Of the fun
NEST phases of the situation is con-
nected with the endorsement of the
Rasher candidacy by James Geraghty.
1t is said those fostering the Rasher
campaign have promised Mr.. Ger
agility a seat in congress provided he
work for the Rasher ticket in the
present city campaign. In the mean
time he will be given q job on Sena-
tor Turner's new road.
Up to the present time neither the
Commercial club, Spokesman-Review
or Mr.. Rasher have announced the
position that Mr. Rasher holds to-
wards organized labor.
Republicans in the city who are
not pleased by the thought that the
Acuff reform party has swallowed the
republican party in Spokane say to-
day that there will undoubtedly be
a straight republican ticket In the
field. headed by man who will not
be Objectionable to organized labor
The rest Of the ticket will consist
of republicans who are willing tc
fight out the issue on strict party
lines.
1t is reported that eX-City Commits
sioner II. l.. Lilienthal is at logger
heads with Candidate Rasher because
the latter refused to promise politi-
cal preferment which Mr.. Lilienthal
desired if Mr.. Rasher is elected.
An evidence of the deep interest in
the present campaign has been shown
at the registration table in the city
| clerks office during the last "a hours
At II o'clock today 5000 voters hat
registered, only 500 shy of the tota
| registration OF two years ago. Dur
ing yesterday more than $40 voters
registered, against 261. the best pre-
vious days record. Including today
the books will be open four more
days. Should n rush proportionatt
to the closing rush of previous years
take place the total registration will
be close to 7000.
Officials of every labor union il
the city are urging the men to regis
ter. pointing out to them that the
fight is to be waged more than ever
before on the question of organized
labor.
