Hartman Not with XIII.
The convention at Tacoma was con-
trolled by the railroads, but not all
the lines are in the deal. The Harri-

the present fight and there are vague
rumors afoat that the Hartman peo-
pie in the state of Washington will
follow the lead of Hartman people
in other parts of the country and
fight the schemes of President J. J..
Hill of the Great Northern. If. on
this theory. they fight the republican
state ticket, another interesting ele-
ment will be added to the coming
fight.

delegation is to turn unanimously to
Wilson and to give him the same sup
port that Piles Is to first receive.
!. 1t is the general opinion that Piles
came out of the late convention much
the worse for his attempt to make a
deal with the Mcbride people. 1t is
said that in the nominations which
have been made of candidates for the
legislature that John L. Wilson has
more outside of King county than any
other man. not excepting Foster of
Pierce county. If this is true. he GER
tainly is in the running again.
Controls state Committee.
About half the nominees on the
state ticket are said to be Wilson
ben and in an adroit manner Wilson
captured the state central committee
and has State Senator E. B. Palmer
of King county, his right hand sup
porter, as chairman of the committee.
1t is little uncertain how the dele
cation to the national convention
stands, but many say Wilson has
about half of these delegates and will
make fight to have Charles Sweeny
Of Spokane made national committee
man, in which case Spokane county
will receive a good opportionment of
funds for the coming campaign.
Candidates Kicked.
One reason why the deal with the
King county delegation in the last
convention was not made was because
few people believed that Mcbride had
the votes In the legislature to deliver.
Many of the nominees for the legis-
lature who were favorable to Nc
Bride objected seriously to be sold
off in this wholesale fashion. One Of
the leading republican legislative
nominees from Spokane county OBJ
/ jected most seriously to this shame

fused to stand for it, but is said later
Ito have agreed to support Piles If

PRESS AND
CHRONICLE

In the issue of The Press of April
q appeared an article which stated
that this paper had reliable informal
ton that the coast shippers would
be at the Chicago conference Of the
railroad officials and Spokane jobberB
to present their side of the rate situ-
alton. The report was enthusiastical-
ly denied by local shippers and harped
upon by the papers at the lower end
of Riverside as entirely out of the
question for many reasons.
This paper takes pleasure in quot
ing from last nights Chronicle the
headlines of a first page article
which shows that about April 81 Of
this year the institutions at the end
of Riverside avenue were not up to
date newspapers and did not have the
correct dope:

This article shows. furthermore,
that 1t takes about four weeks on an
average for them to discover their
mistakes and to change editorial
policy.
This bit of laundering on the pa1t
Of the trust" papers is Of n piece
with their lamentable judgment on
political matters. 1t has become q
byword that to be elect d to any once
in this county you must be opposed
by the trust" organs. The axiom
will soon be broadened to read. that
to have proof positive you are right
on any subject have it denied by the

We wish to thank the Chronicle for
approval of The Press news-getting
qualities and its veracity as presented
in last nights article.
