LOBBY FEARS LANDSLIDE IN
THIS SECTION IF MCBRIDE
is BEATEN.
Railroad Forces Would Be Satisfied
If Judge Fullerton Could Be
Nominated for Governor.

That the railroads, if they control
the republican state convention at Ia
coma next Monday, will endeavor to
eliminate c. J. Lord Of Olympia and
State Auditor J. D. Atkinson, the lead
ing candidates now in the field, and
try to pick an Eastern Washington
Washington man in the hope of placat
ing the supporters of Gov Mcbride
in this section and preventing a demo-
cratic landslide is generally believed by
local politicians, says the Spokesman
man Review.
According to the best information
obtainable, the rilroad lobby has under
consideration Congressman w l..
Jones, of North Yakima; Supreme
Judge M. w. Fullerton, of Whitman
county, and S. G. Cosgrove, of Gar
field county. Colonel w. NJ Ridpath
still has his lightning rod raised aloft
as WELL
Four years ago B. S. Grosscup, coun-
sci for the Northern Pacific, tried to
nominate Congressman Jones for gov
ernor instead of J. NJ. Frink Mr.. Jones
refused to consider the matter at that
time, and now, when he has attained
a position of influence in congress, it is
believed that he will reject any such
suggestion again.
Judge FuIIerton's Position.
Judge Fullerton is q candidate for
denomination to his present office. His
name has been frequently mentioned in
connection with the governorship, but
he has always frowned on such sugges-
tions. The constitution fOrbids any SUI
preme or superior judge to be electe !!
to any other office while he is serving
on the bench; and while Judge Fuller
tons term as judge would expire the
same day he would be inaugurated
governor, if he were elected, he has al
ways taken the position that for him to

if questioned they will probably dismiss
the matter with the terse remark:
Men who whistle in the morning
are no good, that's ALL
But there's a logic in it and in most
OF the popular superstitions, if one will
but study it out. The early hours of
the day are the best hours One is

Luck in a Diamond.
Miss Fay rapidly ran over a score or
more popular superstitions Nearly all
business men insist on putting on their
left shoe first when they dress in the
lIlOI ming. frequently business people
have mascots. Anderson, of Diamond
Palace fame, in San Francisco, had a
ruby worth $4,000. He sold it for 500
900 and soon afterward failed. He man
aged to get enough together to buy it
back for 10000 He is now a million
aire. Mary Anderson the actress, wore
a certain veil to a theater during her
most successful season. She discarded
it and nearly failed. Ever since she
managed to have a tiny piece Of that
viel pinned somewhere about her hat
There are many superstitions in our
business" Miss Fay said. IF, when
the box office opens for an advance
sale of tickets, the first person in line
is a woman, the weeks business is in
variably bad. l would not think of go

run for governor would violate the
tuition.
If the railroads could land Judge
Fullerton in the governors chair they
might kill two birds with one stone"
The roads want the fellow servant
decision, under which they are
mulcted for thousands Of dollars in
damages every year, reversed. Judge
Fullerton believes in upholding the de-
cision. In fact, the court stands, it is
said, four to one on that proposition.
If the railroads could shunt Fullerton
into the governorship and name two
men for the supreme bench, these two,
if elected, with the one already on the
bench, would give a majority in favor
of reversing the decision.
Judge Fullerton, while he has never
is thought to be a believer in rail-
road commission, and to have no use
for the railroad lobby. Local politicians
do not believe he could be persuaded
into lending himself to a lobby scheme
to make him a candidate for governor.
AS to Mr.. Cosgrove.
S. G. Cosgrove, Of Garfield county,
has often been a candidate for gov
ernor, but long ago he pledged his up
port to Governor Mcbride in the pres
ent contest. The Garfield county dele
cation is instructed for Governor Nc
Bride, and Mr.. Cosgrove is a member
Of the delegation. That would seem to
| eliminate him from the contest.
Local railroad hencemen, among
them Arthur ]. Shaw, have been busy
suggesting for the past few days that
the Spokane delegation spring D. T.
Ham for governor. Friends of Mr.. Ham
are inclined to resent this suggestion.
| They say that Mr.. Ham is an honor
able man; that he has declared himself
| for Governor Mcbride, and that he will
obey the instructions or the county con-
Vehtlon IN letter ana spirit. 1hes also
point out that Mr.. Ham on two Occa-
sions declined to permit the use of his

Present Board of Trustees Has Never Granted
Franchise To ANYBODY.

Editor the Banner: In reply to the
bold voter, who through the columns
of your paper has recently made such
startling, sensational, insinuating
charges but was too big coward to
sign his name, we'll say, the present
board OF village trustees has rot
granted a charter to any one. Living
