TAKES NEW TURN

Seattle papers say that the railroad element in Washington state politics has ouarrelled, and that the Northern Pacific and the Oregon Railway X Nay igation Company will support the pres ent Gov. Mcbride, heretofore an anti railroad man, for the republican nomi- nation for governor. This would mean that the Great Northern and it's allies, which include the Pacific Coast Company, the Oregon Improvement Company and all these companies oper- ating north of Seattle, have decided to run affairs themselves and feel able to accomplish McBride's defeat for gov ernor and the election of s. H. Piles for senator without assistance. If 1t Is true, it means that the deal which was attempted at the last session of the state legislature to form a combination in which the vote of King county would predominate, to elect Sam Piles sena- tor has st last reached iruition. It means that the compact, hinted at by the King county legislators, who be- trAysd Harold Preston year ago, and which they said would redUund to the advantage of Seattle, has been kept by Senator Ankeny, who is now in the new combination.
 This turn of affairs would give Me Bride the support of George Stevenson, the lobby king, and would break up the Stevenson-Pierce county-Ankeny-rail' road combination which controlled the last legislature of the Evergreen state
 If the condition is as is reported by the Seattle papers, and if the alleged alliance between the Great Northern influence and Senator Ankeny should be successful in dominating the rePu6 Hcan party of the state, it would near the removal of the political center o' Washington from Tacoma to Seattle The recent election of Mayor R. A Ballinger, of Seattle, by the new com bination, which is apparently attempt ing to read George Stevenson, the Northern Pacific and Tacoma out of re- publican affairs in that state, has prob, ably encouraged the precipitation of a fight that has been looked for by those informed for some time. There IS no doubt but that the organization of the new combine, which is now represent ed in the candidacy Of S. Fl. Piles for the senate, has been encouraged by many of those Seattle men who have longed for such turn of affairs as now seems to be under full headway. They have been 30 anxious for any change in political affairs that would mean the dethronemeut of Tacoma, that two years ago they attached themselves to the anti-railroad or commission sup porters among Eastern Washington farmers, and fought for the election of Harold Preston to the senate because Mir. Preston was from Seattle.

Plan Campaign.
La Crosse, Wis, Dec. ID. - A de-
termined fight for two representatives
on the board Of education will be made
by the club women of the city. The
war for woman's suffrage will be car
ried into the common council, debat-
ing societies and into the club and
home of every woman in the city. The

literary society, will lead the fight.
The society is composed Of the best
and most influential people OF the city.
1t is the contention of the women that
there are more boys than girls in the
public schools; that the mother knows
the needs of the girl pupil better than
the father, or any other man. and that
the women should have place on the
board of education. that their knowl-
edge may be benefit to the pupils.
The initial fight will come when the
council convenes to elect a successor
to the late James McCord, Educators,
and aldermen of the city advocate,
Steven Martindale, but the women
have not decided on their choice.
