FLAT FALSEHOOD OBSCURING ISSUE
KESMAN-REV!EW GIVES LIE
TO THE P.-l.
Seattle Organ Convicted Of Falsifyins in
Desperate Effort to Beat Turner. The
Political Pirates in Control OF the Repub.
Iican Party Fighting For Life.

1t is not trne, as charged by John
l.. Wilson's Seattle acknowledgement,
that in the Tacoma convention
"The commission advocates insisted
on tying the commission and the can
didacy of Governor Mcbride together,
and demanded of the convention not
merely the Endorsement Of commission
plan, but the nomination of Mcbride
and demanding both, they went down to
defeat on BOTH"
That statement is fiat falsehood. and
The Spokesman. Review will call Charles
P. Lund, T. D. Rockwell, J. A. Schiller
and J. w. Merritt to prove its assertion.
The three gentlemen.firs named were the
steering committee of the Spokane coun-
ty delegation to the republican state
convention. Mr.. Merritt was chairman
OF the steering committee for the eastern
Washington delegations in the same
convention. After they had returned
from the convention they prepared and
caused the publication of signei state
ment to "the republicans OF Spokane
county and eastern Washington" The
Spokesinan-Review quotes from that
signed statement
Immediately upon reaching Tacoma
we called upon Governor Mcbride to
ascertain his ideas and wishes. The
governor promptly and unhesitatingly
stated that it was the duty OF the COM
mission forces, above everything Sc, to
procure the adoption of a railway com.
mission plank, and that whenever his
candidacy stood in the way of accom-
plishing that end, he would gladly and
cheerfully step aside.
ave conferred with Pierce county
with a view to obtaining the incorpora-
ton in the platform of railway COM
mission plank and the nomination OF
some candidate for governor who was
not obnoxious to the railway commission
advocates. ~
"We then asked for conference with
the King county steering committee, and
met them in parlor A at the Tacoma
hotel on Tuesday morning about $50
o'clock, there being present Ex-Governor
McGraw, John p. Hartman, John Wood
ing, Frank Twitchell, Scott Calhoun and
Senator J. J. Smith.
"They started the conversation by
asking us if we would be willing to &C.
cept Mr.. Crocker as the candidate for
governor. We emphaiically declined
They then suggested George II. Baker OF
Klickitat county, and we as promptly
declined the consideration OF his name.
"Then they asked that we name a
candidate, and we suggested the name
of Hon. :. G. Cosgrove of Garfield coun-
ty, but stated that whoever we agreed to
as a nominee must run on the railway
commission plank.
"They declined the consideration OF
any name we might mention on a rail-
way commission plank. Upon this
statement the conference adjourned"
The Post-Intelligencer knows that
these gentlement who have just testified
are stating the truth, and that it's charges
against the railroad commission forces
are wholly false; but it hopes to deceive
| voters in western Washington. where
the facts are not so clearly understood

HENlOUS CRIME CHARGED.
-Four Boys Arrested Upou Charge Of Rape on
a Child.

Dunbar and Irvine Pinckney, Virgil
Stapp and George McWhinney were
taken into custody last Thursday upon
complaint Of VIM. Prentice, whose little
five.year-old daughter is the alleged VIC
tim of criminal assault by the boys on
September 2.
The girl was playing with her brother,
three years DID, near their home on
North + street, when it is claimed the
boys seized them, and dragged them in.
to the bushes nearby, lifting them over
a fence on the way, and all committed
felonious assault upon the girl, first
tying the boy so that he could not gi We
an alarm.
The boys were placed under $500 bail
each by Judge Pearson to appear tomor.
row morning for preliminary examina-
ton. The boys range from 10 to IA
years Of age. and while much sympathy
is felt for their parents, the opinion
prevails that ii the charged is fastened
upon them, they should be dealt with
to the full extent OF the law.

manded. "L'm id tired of this back
ing and filling. It's got to end. Pm
going to clear it up.'
Mr.. Farrell's manner was extremely
positive. He then went on to say that
the King county delegation had been
chosen with distinct determination
that it would be used. first of all, and
prior to every other consideration, to
defeat the denomination of Governor
Mcbride and the railroad commission.
Mr.. Farrell declared that under no
circumstances would ne consent to the
10 delegates, or any one of them, voting
for Mcbride or railroad commission
plank. His fiat on that point settled the
matter, and Mcbride, or the possibility
of his nomination, was from that time on
eliminated from the discussion.
The question OF who should be nomi-
mated for governor was then taken up.
Mr.. Farrell said he would be satisfied
with the nomination of Mr.. Crocker.
Mr.. Grosscup spoke up and said that
Mr.. Croo ker's prominent Identification
with the railroad faction would make
him weak candidate.
Then Mr.. Croker took hand himself.
He asked Mr.. Farrell if the latter was
going to consent to the adoption of rail-
road commissian plank. MIR. Farrell
replied emphatically in the negative.
Then Mr.. Croker declared that he
would not consider being candidate.
"You made mistake, though" he
said, Tin not taking commission plank
regardless Of whom you nominate"
Mr.. Farrell merely replied that a com.
mission plank was out of the question.
subsequently he did consent to the
adoption OF milk and water plank de-
claring for the ere .tion OF tax COM
mission.
After that phase of the matter had
been disposed Of, Mr.. Farrell turned to
Mr.. Grosscnp, who was present repre-
senting one of the merger lines, while
Mr.. Farrell himself represented the
other, and asked:
Whom do you want for governor, Mr..
Grosscup?"
81 want Mead" replied Mr.. Grosscup.
Gle is the most available of all the can.
didates."
Mr. Grosscup went on to point out
that Mr. Mead's Identification with the
railroad interests was less open and least
understood of any OF the candidates
mentioned, and would be less open to
attack than any of The others. The mat
ter was discussed at some length, and
finally it was the unanimous opinion Of
all present that Mr.. Mead was the man
to be named.
The conference broke up with the un-
Outstanding that the steering committee
OF King and Pierce counties should be
gotten together in conference. That was
done, and, upon hearing the result of
the Farrell conference, those committees
agreed within Is minutes to head the
railroad slate with Mead.
Within two hours a complete slate
OF state officers had been made up. The
other nominees on it were candidates
who had brought their counties into the
anti commission combination with the
understanding they would be given
places on the ticket.
The next day the slate was taken into
convention and ratified without a break
or hitch.

FOR THE INDECENT SICK.

Honolulu, Hawaii May II. 1904.
To the Public:
The last Legislature having failed to
provide funds for the maintenance OF
the Government Dispensary or provide

clans have mutually agreed to render
their services free of charge for the
care of the INDECENT sick and helpless
through the Dispensary until July list,
