SMITH is FORCED OUT
HAS WITHDRAWN FROM GUBER-
Material RACE IN STATE
OF WASHINGTON.
S. n. Piles Friends Brinq About the
Move at Seattle on Monday
Afternoon.

AS result of a conference held in
Seattle Monday DR.. ]. j. Smith decid-
ed to withdraw from the gubernatorial
fight in this state. According to
special dispatch to the Portland Ore
gonian Smith was forced to withdraw
from the race by S. H. Piles who has
senatorial aspirations.
He was threatened, in the event he
insisted upon remaining in the fight.
that the influence of the city admins
tration would be brought to bear
against him and that a warfare would
be conducted in his own district He
has been charged during the past few
days with being a Foster candidate
and with opposing the Senatorial in
terests of King county. When the
showdown came at conference
Smith declared that he would with
draw in the interest of King county
Frank H. Brownell. of Everett, promi-
nently into the fight for Governor.
Brownell is a candidate for congress.
and has been urged heretofore to step
out and accept the governors berth.
He refused to fight Smith. but might
be made to accept the place if King
county is free to support him.
Piles is anxious not to antagonize
William f. Humphrey, whom he
brought into the congressional fight
two years ago, and whose nomination
he secured. This explains the anxiety
to place Brownell in the gubernatorial
berth, but the situation may be fur
Their complicated by the Whatcom fight
between Mead and Black, both of
whom are anxious to go to congress.
II Humphrey has to be dumped, how
ever. the Piles people want to give
their united support to Whatcom for a
congressman, taking SnOhomish into a
combination through the Brownell
gubernatorial program. Smiths With
drawal this afternoon is the first pro-
nouncel success of the Piles cam
paign for the state delegation.

Massacbusett's Neat Sunrise.

Amid the gloom of tho returns come gleams of victory from that strong hold of republicans, Massachusetts. William L. Douglas, the democratic nominee for governor, is elected by a rousing plurality, and so are all the other democratic nominees for state offices. MT. Douglas plurality will go to 65,000. lre has defeated Millionaire Bates of Boston, who is now governor of Massachusetts.
 Besides the democratic vote, MT. Douglas polled the labor vote of his state and to a considerable extent the business vote, and he secured plu- rality of 65,000, while the republican electoral ticket scored a plurality of 82,000. Mir. Douglas took the stump himself, discussing before the people the industrial and economic needs of the state, and establishing reputa- ton as safe and desirable man.
 The vote cast was large, and MT. Douglas demonstrated his capacity to wake up the people to issues of na- tional interest, and he everywhere at- tracted a large number of voters re- gardless of party lines. The Massa- chusetts election contains, in other words, suggestions and methods that are applicable to all other states, for where democrats can be elected by rousing pluralities in Massachusetts, no democrats need despair, not even those of boss-ridden Pennsylvania.

 Inc mortgage covers all the properties of the company in Belleville. in Alabama, Illinois and Ohio. It was stated by local officers of the company that the mort gage was filed in order to secure the Chi cago bank for such money as the conn pany might need in order to wipe out its floating debt and for such improvements as were necessary.
 It was estimated that the floating debts of the company were sSOOo,OOO. The com pany is constructing large steel rail plant in Youngstown, O.. and for the completion of this plant and the installa- ton of new and improved machinery in other places, probably $2,00O,0O0 or $S,000,- GOO more would be needed.

BIRMINGHAM BOOMING.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
 Game in from Birmingham this morn ing" remarked Colonel William Nell, late of the Brown house in Macon, "and may go back in a day or two. That town over there is moving right along, and if At lanta doesn't keep her weather eye open the Magic City will be right along near 1t before long. Buildings are going up on all the streets. Business houses that will compare with any in Atlanta are being erected, while in the residence section homes of all kinds are showing their formation There is the palace going up alongside the neat, handsome cottage. Everything is being done in excellent form and shape and 1t won't be long be- fore Birmingham Is among the foremost, best cities in the south. Business? Bir- mingham is full of business and every day that business is growing in every line. There are some of the largest business houses in the south over there, and every year those same houses are growing" !"

Mlssouri's Vote.

The vote of Missouri, both on the state and national tickets, is one of the surprises of Tuesdays contest. Returns seem to show that the re- publican electorial ticket was chosen, but Joseph w. Folk, the democratic nominee for governor, is probably elected. Folks plurality, however, will be slender. The state had been uniformly and strongly democratic since 1872
 MT. Folks plurality, if he has a plu- rality, will not be heavy enough to make him :. commanding national fig ure, as his friends had hoped. He had fought boodlers with rare cour- age. No poodle was too big to escape his attentions, and tho fact that he attacked the big boodlers out of choice made him srong among the people.
 Douglas of Massachusetts certainly outranks Folk, for the former rides into gubernatoriaI office in a republi- can state by a large majority.

New YOrks Unexpected Slump.

Until the slump in the democratic vote of New York city-Greater New \ ork-is at hand in all detail, and is analyzed and explained, 1t is not pos sible to arrive at a clear and definite ur derstanding of the political situa- ton. The best observers were deceiv- ed. The Brooklyn Eagle, heretofore an excellent judge of political senu- ment in it's own city, sent out 60,O00 postal cards asking for expressions Of preference, and when all replies had heep counted and compiled, 1t stated tlat a plurality of 1S0,0OO would be cast in New York city for Parker. The real plure Is only one-quarter or tie Eagles statement, and it's own borough of Brooklyn gave MT. Roose- vet a plurality. When doctors of law and politics, like Editor McKelway, go astray, who shall decide?
 Leader Murphy of,5Tammany Hall says that the cause of the slump in tho big de1iocratic city will be devel- oped, and The party can deal with it. The cause or causes Ghould be ascer- tained at any rate, for if New York o.ty fails tho democracy, even par t,ally, the big state becomes hope lessly republican, and our cake is dough.
 Let Leader Murphy go ahead In his desire to ascertain why the demo- cratic plurality fell to about 10000, or about 100000 les than the friends of the democratic cause had good reason to anticipate. If the silent voters in a registration approximating 100000 d.l it, let us know it, and let us also know why they did it.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-11-10

congress will be increased to fifty, or possibly a few more. When land slide comes along 1t is unsparing. It
 did not even spare MT. Cowherd, chair man of the democratic congressional committee Uncle Joe Cannon is re- elected, and his reelection as peaker is well assured.
 The republicans are in power in all branches of the government, execu- tive, legislative and judicial. If they desire to curb the trusts or to reform the tariff. now is their opportunity. If they do not desire to change the sit. uation So far as the trust and tariff iaries are concerned, they will stand pat and be judged accordingly. They eann-t plead a division Of power. All power is in their hands, md in 1908 they must answer for the manner in which they use 1t.

Declines a Third Term.

Mir. Roosevelt declines to stand in 1908 in words so Lain that they are not capable of two constructions. He says:
 'sOn the 4th of March next shall have served three and half years, and this three and half years constitutes my first term. The wise custom which limits the President to two terms regards the sub stance and not the form. Under no cir cumstances will be candidate for or accept another nomination."
 This is uneqniyocal Grover Cleve- land and General Grant always held themselves open to an alleged call of the people, but MT. Roosevelt says he will not heed even popular call. He declines another term in unqualified terms. An unanimous call will not move him, so he says, and no one has a right to say he will retract or is mistaken.
 The object of his declination, and of its presentation at this time, can not be clearly seen. It may be that he desires a free hand in four years and quarter to enforce his will upon an unhappy country. It may be that the trusts will get more than they bargained for. It may be that he has policies up his sleeve that he does not desire to submit to public senti- ment. What those policies are cannot be foreseen, for MT. Roosevelt is the most cratic and unexpected President in our entire national life. Let us hope st any rate that he will study MT. McKinley's course in dealing with the southern problem, and that he will see it is one that calls for a rare com bination of fact, skill and delicacy-- a combination of these qualities far beyond the demands of any other question that has or will come before him
