WANT ANkENY TO
FIGHT SWEENEY
The Senator Will Be Asked to Throw
His Influence Into the Local
Contest.

The Spokesman-Rev says:
Senator Levi Ankeny will return
home this week to spend the Christmas
holidays at Walla Walla, and his home
coming will be taken advantage of by
several of his local friends to solicit
his aid in defeating the ambition OF
Charles Sweeny to sit as a delegate
in the next republican national con-
vention; likewise to defeat Mr.
Sweenys candidacy for republican ma
tional committeeman.
A secret meeting of several of Mr.
at which the question of Mr. Sweeny's
candidacy was gone into at length
The concensus of opinion was that an
other candidate should be brought out
The meeting favored the candidacy OF
Cyrus Happy, and it was agreed that
Senator Ankeny's aid for Mr.. Happy
should be enlisted if possible.
Old Anti mahcine Crowd.
Just where the Ankeny men held
their meeting nobody seems to know
|
ent were the leading spirits. of the
'anti-machine' club which was form
ed in Spokane county last year to re-
sist the machine organization and to
secure legislativevote for Mr.. Ankeny
Prominent in the movement are Judge
James z. Moore, Arthur j. Shaw and
others.
The fact that United States Marshal
c. B. Hopkins has been instrumental
in bringing Mr.. Sweeny out is respon-
sible, in some degree, for the opposi-
ton of the Ankeny men. They be-
lieve that Mr.. Hopkins is endeavoring
to galvanize into life the machine
which has ruled republican politics for
several years, and to get Mr.. Sweeny
into a position where he can run for
the United States senatorship when it
becomes convenient for him to run.
Mcbride Men Absent.
While a majority of Governor Nc
Brides friends in Spokane are believed
to be opposed to Mr.. Sweeny's ambi-
tons, none of them, it is said, were
present at the meeting. The possibility
of enlisting their support for Mr.
Happy was discussed, however, at con-
siderable length. 1t is probable that
overtures will be made to secure united
action against Mr.. Sweeny.
1t is supposed that Senator Ankeny
will stop in Spokane on his way home,
and, if he does not, his friends will in
vite. him to come here before he re-
turns to Washington.

diately by his resignation from the

In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this pa
per was among the many seekers after
fortune who made the big race one
fine day in April. During his travel
ing about and afterwards his camping
upon his claim, he encountered much
bad water, which, together with the
severe heat. gave him a very severe
diarrhoea which it seemed almost i'm
possible to check, and along in June
the case became SO bad he expected to
die. One DAY one of his neighbors
brought him one small bottle of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy as a last hope. A big dose
was given him while he was rolling
about on the ground in great agony,
and In a few minutes the dose was
repeated. The good effect Of the med
icine was soon noticed and within an
hour the patient was taking his first
sound sleep for a fortnight. The one
little bottle worked a complete cure.
and he cannot help but feel grateful.
The season for bowel disorders being
at hand suggests this item. For sale
by all druggists.

kings have organized a company, it is
said, and are going to work their new
ly acquired mines in the most com

the capitalists went out not long ago
and located their mines and all the
legal preliminaries are being ar
ranged. They all enthusiastically as
sert that they have the richest copper
proposition in the territory and claim
the ore is of an extremely high grade.
The mine was discovered by two of
the railroaders while out hunting
two days after last pay day, J. Black
burn is manager of the new concern.
Machinist George Dents is secretary

the work was not suspended, the con-
