three-fourths. 1 can remember well that
uul .hs campa4Sn tao years ago he
urged his election because these very same
revenues had increased during his first
administration. 1t was with the advice
and consent of the mayor that the Globe
hotel building was built. If Mayor Camp
bell is for better morals, why is he sup
ported in this campaign by the proprietors
of the Globe hotel, the Phoenix theater
and the Board of Trade saloon?
IF you want to see Tacoma prosper,
throw aside your politics in this cam
paign and come with us and help us elect
a business man for mayor; one who will
be big enough for this city"
George p. Wright, candidate for mayor,
pledges a strictly business administration
if he should be elected. assuring equal
and exact justice to ALL
Mr. Hiberly touched briefly on the is
sues of the campaign and urged the cleo
ton of the entire ticket.
Frank b. Cole, candidate of the Demo-
Gratis for mayor two years ago, closed
the meeting with a humorous speech, in
which he deplored the present methods of
diverting money from the electric light
and water funds to the general fund and
urged the reduction of taxes, which he
thought could be best secured by the cleo
ton of George p. Wright and a council
that would support him.
While this meeting was in progress,
other voters were taking advantage of an
opportunity to hear the campaign issues
discussed from Democratic standpoint.
Woodmen's hail. on South Yakima avenue,
was well filled and the meeting was ad-
dressed by John Leo, John Hartman j. j.
Anderson the three candidate at the head
of the ticket and Felix McKeown, candi-
date for the council from the Fifth ward.
Mr.. Leo criticized the manner in which
the books were kept at the city hall and
scored. Mayor Campbell for wanting a
third term.
Mr.. Wright made the usual statement
of the issues of the campaign, and closed
with the promise that if elected he would
have under him only competent heads of
departments, especially the chief of police
and commissioner of public works.
The other speakers covered much the
same. ground that has been gone over at
previous meetings.

FELT TRIES TO
Get POWER
Asks Baker for Current to Run
Street Cars in Tacoma

Charles Fl. Baker, president of the Sno-
qualme Falls Power company, received to-
day the following dispatch from +. j. Felt,
who recently secured a franchise for new
street railways in Tacoma;
Cleveland, O., March 81, 1904
Charles H. Baker, President Snoqualmie
Falls Power Company.
Matters have reached choice between
building power plant or taking power from
you. Write by return mail stating lowest
price on long time contract you viii fur
nish us power, in thousand horsepower
lots and how soon. Must quote low
''E. j. FELT"
Mr. Baker showed this telegram to The
Times today. He said: This is another
illustration of how the Stone & Webster
combine is injuring the city of Tacoma
by obstructive tactics. Felt wants to con-
struct his street railways at once, and in
order to get speedily into operation
he needs power. l do not see how / can
furnish it to him in such quantities as he
says he wants. The Snoqualmie plant
could not do it. My plant on White river
would have been ready and able to furnish
this power if Stone & Webster had not
blocked its erection by their tactics in
the courts.
''Felt could not ask Stone & Webster
for power, for he would not want to be
placed in such disadvantageous position
while proposing to run street cars in Ia
coma in opposition to their lines. Even
if they agreed to give him the power, he
would know that he was liable at all times
to get the worst of the deal through
"break-downs' and stoppages of the cur
rent.
"All that Mr.. Felt can do under the cir
eumstances is to erect costly steam pow
er plant, costing him at least half a
million dollars. That may delay his oper-
ating cars in Tacoma. / know he is ready
to go ahead here as soon as he can make
necessary arrangements for power"

COULDN'T TRAVEL
ON BOTH TRACKS

On the switch at East N street, on
the p street line, last night the street
railway company's freight train tried to
go down both tracks at the same time.
The freight motor pushing two fiat cars
of wood, and pulling two other freight
cars, was coming in from the Interurban
line, and as they struck the switch one
car went over on the main track all
right, but the rear trucks on the second
car ran off on the switch. Traffic was
delayed nearly an hour.

OPPOSED TO A ONE MAN TOWN.

"Greater Tacoma" was the watchword
BIT the Democratic meeting at the Horace
Mann school, in the Fifth ward. last eve
ming. That Tacoma would grow to its
rightful position as the first city of Puget
Sound as soon as she ceased to be a lone
man town" was the opinion of the speak
ers.
The meeting was well attended the
auditors enthusiastic and attentive. f. l..
Hiberly, j. 7. Eshelman, o. G.. Ellis,
George p. Wright and Frank b. Cole were
the speakers.
Mr. Ellis stated that his only ambition
was to see Tacoma at the head of the cities
of the Northwest; that he believed that
she would ultimately gain her rightful po-
sition, but could not do it until she re-
versed her political methods and voted for
the best man in every municipal contest,
regardless of his political belief.
Mayor Campbell claims" said the
speaker, chat he was the cause of the
reduction of the street car fares and occa-
stoned the giving of transfers. Let me
tell you how that giving of transfers came
about. Transfers were given solely be-
cause all of the different street railway
companies were merged into one. When
this was done it was matter of business
policy on the part of the new owners to
do this, as it is required in every other
city in the country and public opinion
would demand it here. As far as Mayor
Campbell is concerned, he had nothing
whatever to do with the issuing of trans
fers.
Mayor Campbell claims high plane of
morality for his administration and states
that during his last term of office the po-
lice court fines have fallen off nearly

The finding Of the money has been
exceedingly easy for some people. There
are others who have searched long
and hard but have been rewarded with
nothing But as yet there is no one
who is discouraged and as long as the
story is carried on there Will be search
eTs.
The increase OF those who participated
in the search this week over last week
is very great. All day yesterday in
every part of the city where II was
possible 10 think. after reading the
clNes. that IL was possible for the
money 70 be hidden there were scores
OF sedrchers.
All the reserve that characterized the
search when IL first began last week
was thrown aside, and there was not
whit of hesitancy in the manner witt
which most of the seekers for the hid

looking trees whose dropping limbs seem
as though they might want 10 conceal
