T.. Frank Boyd, candidate of the re-
publican party for mayor, is said to
have promised the union labor men
of the city that he will go on record
in writing as to his conduct towards
organized labor in case he is elected

Aside from the arrival of Senator
Wilson, the most sensational affair
in the political circus today has been

party who have been singing love
songs into the ears of the fair men

their roundelay has been that the
Rasher party is the only organization

had a motherly eye for the interests
of the small saloon men.

the office of e. M. Hepburn, but post

H[R0 H0b5ON
Is IN SPOKANE
Celebrated Naval Officer
Now Pleading for a
Larger Navy.
A GREATER AMERICA.

Richard p. Hobson, naval hero and
orator, arrived in Spokane this after
noon, coming over the Great North
ern from Pullman. He lectured at
Colfax last night and this morning
rode horseback across country to
Pullman.
When seen this afternoon IIobson
seemed in perfect health and COM
planned of no i'll effects from his pro-
tracted lecture tour. He has been on
the road since February 1. Starting
in Pennsylvania. he has travelled
across the continent, speaking every
night. He is now on his backward
course and goes from Spokane to
Montana and thence into Utah and
through Colorado east.
Hobson, although a naval hero, is
adverse these days to interviews on
his war record and the stirring events
that made him famous.
He delights, however, In talking
of the United States as world power
and the following are some Of the
sentiments to which he gave utter
ance when seen at Ne Spokane hotel
this afternoon:
Il believe in my country and in Its
naval supremacy, I believe this ma
ton, representing free institutions
and an era of industrialism and
peace. should have a navy equal, If
necessary, to the combined navies
that the powers of the world might
bring against her. have the interest
of my country at heart and desire
only to see her ready to meet the foe
should any come.
Respect for the Monroe doctrine
| will be only in proportion to the size
| of our navy. We have 1900 miles
of coast line and our ocean commerce
amounts to many millions. Our navy
| must defend all
MY plan is to increase the navy
yearly, starting with an appropriation
of 100000 for new ships and each
year for 10 years increase that ex-
penditure by s100o0,000. At the enc

culating the petitions that are to re-
suit in a showing of his strength
among the organized labor element.
There are SO petitions out, each of
the different labor organizations in
the city having a copy of the petition
and report progress. 1t will be Fri
day before the work of circulating
the petitions is finished. Then it will
be filed with the city announcing the
candidacy of Mayor Byrne.
Mayor Byrne today gave an inter-
view as to a way Of lessening the
crib evil. II believe the cribs should
be compelled to move up stairs and
away from any possibility of public
view. This would put them on the
same footing of exclusion as that of
the parlor houses. The scheme has
been tried in other cities, and has
proved a success. There is no doubt
but that something must be done to
overcome the evil effects of the cribs.
Meetings of the liquor dealers were
held last night and this afternoon to
discuss the political situation. The
saloon men are fearful that the Acuff
ticket will sweep the city.
No candidate for any office can be
endorsed by the trades council as one
of the bylaws prohibits the endorse
ment Of any candidate for any Office
unless he Is running on full unior
labor ticket.

Arrest Of Williams.

Casey Williams, colored, who was
arrested yesterday afternoon on the
charge of burglary, has caused much
perpleXity in the ranks of the police,
and, to use the words of one OF the
officers, they don't know whether he
is "it' or the victim of plot.
Williams was said to have been
seen climbing ladder leading to the
second floor of the notorious lodging
house at 1o0SIa First avenue. A pc
culiar feature of the case is that he
claims to have been In love with one
of the women in the house, and was
merely using the ladder to hold con-
verse with her. after he found the
front door had been locked.

Street Sweeping
In the Day Time,

Merchants throughout the city have
been complaining loudly for several
days past because the paved streets
facing their stores are swept during
business hours. The sweeping is do
ing hundreds of dollars worth of
damage to stocks. During much Of
the time brisk breese has been
blowing, the result being that the
dust is swept through open doors in
clouds.
In all eastern cities the street
sweeping Is done at night and it is
probable that petition will be circu-
lated demanding that the sweeping be
done at night.
Commissioner of Streets Root de-
clared today that the street sweeSers
did not begin work until s o'clock
at night. and If they did otherwise
they disobeyed orders.

Mayor Byrne announced today that
he was in favor of demanding that
the new application of the Graves
Street Car company for a franchise
over the city streets have a clause
providing that children between the
ages of and IS years, school chill
dren, be carried for half fare every
day In the week.

size that many of the children, espe-
ciaIly those attending the high school,
are compelled to go several miles to
school," said the mayor. 1T is i'm
perative that these scholars ride. Such
was not the case when the Spokane
Street Railway company got its
franchise. 1t that time the city was
small and the company took its
chances on losing its investment.
