A Brace of New York Senators.

II asked but favor of Governor Higgins,
said Senator Plat recently That that he approve
the bill which passed by the Legislature for this hotel
! asked it thoroughly and prayerfully He vetoed it."
And what this favor that the senator asked of the
governor prayerfully?
1t was bill to grant special permit to the New
Gotham hotel-where Plat ves-to get a bar license.
The decrep old boss had prayerfuly' gotten the bill
through the Legislature despite the fact that the hotel
located within 200 feet of church and in forbidden
territory.
Read over the senator's plant again While he is
thus off guard take good look at him from your distance
away
Isn't he about object as you have looked
at for time?
Upon the refusal of the governor to break the spirit
of the law, to sign the prayer of the easy boss for
more convenient boozing place. Plat bases his political
attitude in reference to state affairs.
And this is of the senators of the United States
from New York. What of the other one?
The people of the United States have been looking at
him recently ALSO And the most charitable thing that
may be said of this decrepit couple is the word of
Thackery

OLD LINE PARTIES COMBINE
TO PREVENT REELECTION OF
UNION LABOR MAYOR EU-
GENE &. SCHMlTZ.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 49,
Eugene e. Schmitz and John s..
Partridge are the opposing candi-
dates in a mayoralty campaign
which promises to be one of the
most interesting and bitterly con-
tested San Francisco has ever
known. The contest is rendered
unique in the history of western
politics by the fact that a labor
union candidate, with two previous
terms to his credit and the full
force of the saloon and organized
labor interests behind him, will try
conclusions with the first fusion
candidate San Francisco has ever
nominated for this Office.
Schmitz sprang from the compar-
alive obscurity of an orchestra lead
er into the limelight of political
Moses for organized labor less than
five years ago. His opponents then
said that he had nothing to COM
mend him for leadership but his
handsome appearance and a will
ingness to obey the orders of pow
ers behind the throne. His can
didacy was, by many, considered as
a joke, but he won handily and ad-
ministered the affairs of his Office
during the succeeding term with lit
tie hesitancy. His second nomina-
ton was given more serious consid-
Grafton and a more determined fight
was made against him. He won,
however, by about 5000 majority
and was recently renominated for
the third time.
Realizing that strenuous meas
ures were necessary to secure his
defeat on this occasion, the Repub.

Tacoma is a dead one and the
Tigers have two propositions. To
transfer the team to Spokane Is one,
and to stay in Tacoma and play the
majority of the games in Portland,
giving that city continuous base ball
like San Francisco, Is the other. The
latter scheme was proposed by Nc
Credie, but it don't look good to me.
Portland can't support continuous
ball. They are having a good season
there this summer on account of the
exposition and Mercedes nut is
swelled. Spokane looks the best to
me and if the league directors will
let her in we will go over there"

Battling Nelson is telling the pub
lie what a fighter is and claims
that Abe Attell, brother of Monte
Attell who may fight Kid Scal4i be-
fore the S. A. A. c. here soon. is the
greatest ring general in the world.
Il would call a good fighter o. man
who knows when he is winning.
knows when he is losing and who
uses his head to help him out. He
must know how to save himself when
in distress" stated Nelson.
O O O J
Before entering the ring in Phila-
delphia with Young Erne the other
night, Nelson's greatest ring general,
Attell, offered to fight Britt or Mel
son for a side bet of $4,000. He
went in all puffed up and from re-
ports he came out all puffed up.
Erne didn't do a thing to him.

Aurelio Herrera, who Is to battle

Kid Scaler is delighted over the
announcement that he is to get a go
with some Of the topnotchers and
will work hard for the go. There is
one thing sure, Scaler will fight. He
is always in fine shape and takes no
chances. Scaler is after the champ
ionship and if there is any chance he
will get it.

lican league was formed and over
lures were made to the democrats
of San Francisco with a view to
choosing a fusion candidate. 1t is
claimed by the Republican league
that Schmitz won as the result of
scattering gvotes in 1903 and that,
with one candidate between them,
the old line parties will carry the
municipal election by at least $4,000
majority on November z. The
Schmitz adherents claim that a
solid vote can not be obtained by
the democrats and republicans, and
that Schmitz' strength has increas-
ed instead of diminished in the
workingmen's district, the vote Of
which, they assert, is sufficient to
elect him by bigger plurality than
before.
During Schmitz' last campaign,
his administration was bitterly at
tackled by many local papers, who
charged all sorts of malfeasance in
Office and alleged that Schmitz was
but puppet in the power of Abe
Ruef, a political boss of consider
able power. These accusations
found general belief among mer-
chants and residents in the north
ern half of the city, but the other
section remained, for the most part,
loyal to the Schmitz standard. AS
result the coming contest par
takes of the nature of a civil war of
ballots and arrays, in a great meas
ure, the classes against the masses.
Partridge is a representative of
the former as much as Sehmitz is
of the latter contingent, which
lends interest to the campaign as
we'll as the fact that truce has at
last been effected between local re-
publicans and democrats-a thing
which has often been attempted but
never accomplished heretofore.

That foot ball in the Northwest Is
improving vastly has been shown by
the recent games in California where
the Oregon team has been playing
the southern boys to stand-still.
In the game between oregon and
Stanford on Tuesday it was evident
there is but little margin between
the two teams. In the first five min
utes Stanford scored a touchdown
and from then on both teams played
about on an equal. The final score
stood 10 to for Stanford.
A year or two ago people would
have laughed if a game between
Stanford and Washington State, Pull
man, Idaho or Oregon was suggested,
but the way the Oregon boys, who
have been in the same class with the
Washington and Idaho schools, have
been playing, it is evident Northwest
foot ball is fast climbing to the top.

The further away from Spokane
Mike Fisher, the manager of the
Tacoma Tigers, gets the more he
talks about the possibility of this
city cutting into the Coast League
next year.
Mike is way down in Los Angeles
and is making the best of poor sea-
son. He Is wise old owl and any
time that Mike sees the money, the
money is for Mike He saw it in
Spokane in the recent games between
Tacoma and Oakland and way down
south Mike is talking about the way
Spokane gave him $1,000 gate.
And it was raining at the time, -
said Mike.
The following is a clipping from
the Los Angeles Record:
''The Tigers will be transferred to
Spokane next season if 1 have any
thing to say about it," said "Lo-
quacious Mike" Thursday morning.
Considering the weather, we drew
well the week we played over in
Spokane. There was $1,000 gate one
day and every day the fans turned
out fairly well. The weather was
damp and cold. / think with good
weather Spokane Will prove a good
base ball town.

SPORTING BREV|T|ES

The barring of Col. Jack Chinn's
horse from the Latonia track on the
ground that there is no stable room
for them has aroused the wrath of
the fire-eating Kentuckian and his
friends expect him to rise a tempest
in the way of adverse Legislative
action, as the colonel is far from be-
ing "a lead one" politically.
Mr. "Muggsy" McGraw's pessimism
regarding the outcome of the world S
championship series is almost pa
thetic. He makes this gloomy pre-
diction of the Giants chances: DO
think we will win in the series
There's nothing to it. We will win
in a walk. We have better batsmen
and better base runners. We play
a better inside game than the Allan
tics. We will win beyond a per-
adventure of doubt" All efforts to
cheer up McGraw have proved fruit
less.
