governor.
Mr., Campbell said the past four years
had been somewhat strenuous, but it was
because the administration had been OPP
posed to letting grafters loot the city. He
referred again to the street railway in
tuence in the council and how it had
opposed many measures that would have
resulted in great benefit to the city. He
spoke of the efforts of the Stone & Web
ster combine to keep the White River
Power company from getting its plant in
operation, and said that the same infu-
ences had attempted to prevent the pass
age by the council of ordinances granting
franchises to competing street car COM
panies.
Mr.. Campbell closed his remarks by re-
ferring to the restrictions imposed on
gambling and other vices, and said that
Tacoma was as open as any American
citizen ought to want town.
Other features of the evening were adj
dresses by Charles ID. Atkins and l.. G..

18TH BIRTHDAY
OF The BLIND
HYMN WRITER

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, March 24.-Miss
Fanny Crosby, the famous blind hymn
writer, today celebrated her 85th birthday
in the full possession of all her faculties
but the one denied her Miss Crosby lives
with her sister, Mrs. Carrie Rider, and in
her old age is fully as active as in her
youth.
Miss Crosby became blind in her infan-
cy, owing to improper treatment for a
fever. When she was 10 years old she
entered the New York Institution for the
Blind. She was so apt in her studies that
she subsequently received an appointment
as teacher of rhetoric, English grammar,
Greek, American, English and Roman his
tory in the institution.
While still a teacher, she composed
songs, which were set to music by George
F. Root. Among the best known are
"Rosae, the Prairie Flowe~ " 'Hazef
Dell" "Good-by, Proud World, I'm Going
Home" "The Honeysuckle Glen" and
"There's Music in the Air" She also
wrote the words for the cantatas, ''The
Flower Queen" and "The Pilgrim Fa-
theirs"
Miss Crosby, in 1864, took up hymn writ
ing, and since that time has written near
" 5000 of them, notable among which is
"Safe in the Arms of Jesus" There is sell
dom religious meeting at which one
or more of Miss Crosby's hymns are not
sung. and the deep religious pathos Of
her writings has been felt in many lands.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 24.-,Joseph w
Folk, the fearless circuit attorney, whose
relentless prosecution. of 'boodlers made
him famous, is now in the midst of the
bitterest fight of his life. And by strange
combination of circumstances, his bitterest
enemy and rival for the Democratic nomi-
nation for governor is his former chum,
Harry f. Dawes.
Folk is a candidate for governor against
his will.
His prosecution of boodlers attracted
the attention of Democrats tired of gang
rule and they began campaign for his
nomination.
The movement was really an Independent
one, for Republican newspapers and men
took part in it, The latter argued, "Mis-
souri, is hopelessly Democratic. As we
must have Democratic governor, let S
have an honest one. pa
The governor of Missouri is ex-officio a
member of all state boards. The decent
element has been demanding an investiga-
ton of these boards for years. As a
member and with his experience, Folk
could expose corruption,,. if it exists.
The machine Democrats, fearing just
such step, are moving heaven and earth
to defeat the plucky circuit attorney.

REPUBLICANS RATIFIED THE CITY
NOMINATIONS LAST EVENING

There were very few vacant seats in
the Lyceum theater last night when the
Republican ratification meeting opened. In
fact, it was a house that would have
brought wide smiles to the face of the
atrical manager, and was no doubt none
the less pleasing to the Republican lead
ers. Evidently it was a Republican crowd
too, and enthusiasm ran high. The speak
ers were c. o. Bates, j. NJ. Ashton, E. E.
Cushman, G. ID. Atkins, l.. G. jackson and
Mayor Campbell c. S. Barlow was chair
man of the meeting and he started the
ball rolling by the introduction of Mr..
Bates.
In his remarks, Mr.. Bates said this was
a business campaign, but there was poll
tics in it, too, and there ought to be.
He said the Republican ticket was one
that nobody need be ashamed of, and that
every man on the ticket had been tried
and found not wanting The speaker paid
= tribute to Chief of Police Fackler and
said that he had been the cause of sending
more guilty men from Tacoma to the
penltentiary than any other man in the
history of the town.
General j. M. Ashton followed with one
of his characteristic addresses, in which
his admiration for the late William Nc
Kinley and President Roosevelt manifested
itself Referring to local affairs, he said
that the people were to determine this
spring whether the business affairs of the
city were to be turned over to the party
of negation, inactivity and failure, or
whether they were to be entrusted to
again to the party with record. He
referred especially to the two candidates
for mayor and said that for the next
two years, at least, Tacoma should be
governed by man who could hold his own
against the CRATER, the boodler and grasp
ing corporations.
f. E. Cushman warmed things up con-
siderably, and his remarks appeared to
find favor with the audience. Mr.. Cush-
man said in part:
eve ask you to vote for Mr.. Campbell
and others on the Republican ticket be-
cause we know them. We ask you not to
vote for Mr.. Wright because we do not
know him. You cannot trust and honor
a man whom you do not know. Mr.. Camp
bell has been mayor for four years, and
what do you know against him? Nothing.
Two newspapers and Democratic stump
speakers have tried to rake up something,

leader He came here from Kentucky and
began to practice law. He was Folks
chum and helped elect him. But when
Folk prosecuted Democratic boodlers as
well as Republicans, Halves objected.
Halves asked Folk to make speeches
for the Democratic ticket in 1902. There
were on the ticket men Folk was prose
cutting for bribery. The circuit attorney
refused and the men became enemies.
HE didn't support the organization,
is the cry against Folk. "IIe has hurt the
party"
The Democratic primaries were held last
week. Halves, as former president of the
police board, used the police. Reputable
citizens were assaulted and beaten when
they tried to vote. Gangs of repeaters
went from booth to booth.
Two sons of David r. Francis, presi-
dent of the Worlds fair, were victims of
thugs
The result of the election was 10
delegates for Halves and II for Folk.
A special grand jury is now investigat-
ing the election and wealthy st. Louisans,
aroused by the affair, are raising big
sum for Folks campaign.
Folk is strong throughout the state and
his friends insist that he viii he nomi-
mated.
