prevail III an eager effort to bring the
party to high land again. Mr.. Cotterill
does not know that the half dozen
other members of his new party are
either ashore applauding or scrambling
to embrace another political belief.
The story of that meeting at the
Butler hotel is a bit of recent political
history with which politicians are ia
miliar. Immediately after the repub-
lican state convention had been held
at Tacoma democratic leaders realized
that Senator Turner's nomination was
the logical and necessary result Sem
ator Turner was reluctant to abandon
his own interests and throw himself
into the fight. He urged that others be
many state democrats of records as
strong as his own and party service
equally as deserving of recognition, to

When Senator Turner came to Seat

1t does not even require an intimate
knowledge with state politics to rea-
lie that this gathering was thorough
ly representative. 1t included former
populists silver republicans, Parker
advocates, Bryan followers, Hearst
supporters; in fact. every faction of the
state democracy was represented. The
significance of the meeting lay in the
fact that these men, representing views
that had at times been widely diverg

that Senator Turner should be the
democratic nominee for governor.

TACTICS OF COTTREll
URGED TURNER TO BE A CANOI-
DATE FOR GOVERNOR OF
WASHINGTON.
Now Has Become Popul'st and
Leading Fight Against the Spo-
kane Man.

This is the story OF the tQulXOtlc eH-
petition; of Don George COtterill into
politics during the past four month,
til September the narrative runs and
a summary of the wanderings of the
ex republican-ex prOhibitiOnist eX =
democratic-ex- ofticeholder and ex-nom-
inee might be set down as follows:
In May he was an ardent and en-
thusiastic supporter of Senator turner
for vice president, governor or any
other position; he participated in the
democratic county and state cOnven-
tions and attempted to influence their
action, Immediately after the Olym-
pia convention he became a candidate
for the democratic nomination for
lieutenant governor Cherishing this
ambition, he entered IA conference of
prominent Seattle democrats which
urged Senator Turner to make the race
for governor.
CotterlI was one of the strongest
Turner advocates in that meeting,
speaking oftener and stronger than any
one else present All that time Cotter-
i'll urged Il democratic state cOnven-
ton held prior to the national gath
ering. possibly, as politicians believe.
in the hope that Turner would not ac-
cept and he could get the gubernato-
rial nomination. His own lieutenant
could be launched, and after the ma
tional democratic convention he bolt
ed. He threatened an Independent
state convention and plumed himself
to adopt an important nomination.
This project also collapsed, and he,
then allied himself with the populist.
Itches for Lime Light.
TO pursue the Cotterll subject back
still further is merely to develop the
fact more strongly that the new pop
ulistic leader has an itching for the
lime light An agile performer. he has
been able upon numerous occasions to
get in To the center of the stage where
the calcium light shines. 1t is not
more than seven months since Cotterin
was ambitious for the mayors berth.
Two years ago he wanted to be con-
gresham. Prior to that the Cotterin
record is dotted with spots that mark
Il new political era when the Quixotic
explorer scrambled onto Il new plat
form and Wriggled into another nomin-
alton.
40 one doubts but that the same
ner's nomination not more than three
months ago Will be shown by Cotterill
now in declaring that the democratic
candidate must not be elected. A new
hobby and a new alliance has changed
the COtterilI viewpoint. and consistent
cy suffers in the struggle for political
notice.
With a fine show of Virtuous con-
descension. Cotterill publicly comedies
the splendid public record of Senator
Turner; commends his official acts and
declares in positions of trust he has
fulfilled every obligation. But" with
careful emphasis waving arms and
reverberating voice. the champion of
Il new movement declares he has just
discovered that Senator Turner wreck

demned. With heroic self-sacrifice Cot

CLOSED A BIG WEEK.
Hog Receipts Were 5000 Head for

With the seven days ending Satur-
day Britain 4 Co. closed big week.
Receipts were 5000 head, as against
5000 for the week before. and 800 for
the corresponding week year ago. In
fact the receipts We're larger than the
killing capacity, and 1900 head We're
carried over to this week, IA supply that
will last two or three days, should 40
more be received.
The market has fallen between 20
and 20 cents during the past three days
and heavy receipts are not looked for
this week. Britain & Co. have been
paying cents for farmer hogs in wag-
on load lots, and as the price has
dropped, owing to heavy receipts, this
week, will show lighter receipts I'M
less the market should suddenly react.
There were $4,000 hogs In Chicago this
morning. which was 10000 more than
the estimate Britain q Co. are

and for farmer hogs 10 cents under,
