Politicians Guessing.

Tacoma, Wash, Oct. 24.-Politi-
clans are asking, If Governor Mead
has returned to his former alliance
with B. d. Croker and Senator Levi
Ankney, what effect it will have on
the present Office holders under the
state administration.
II. A. Fairchild, chairman of the
state railroad commission, is non per-
soma grata at the Ankeny ringside.
So is James H. Davis of the board of
control. Will their designations be
asked?
Will Mrs. Charles Hermann reap
pear as matron Of the insane asylum
at Steilacoom? And what minor
officials at the state penitentitry will
be displaced? How far will the gov
ernor go to show his loalty to the An
keney machine?
The selection Of Matthew Piles as
Kincaid's successor on the board of
control was not pleasing to Senator
Piles because, as politicians under
stand 1t, the senator wansed to land
Thomas Paine In some convenient
state office. Governor Mead acted
on his own initiative, once he was
started, and 1t does not appear that
Senator Piles had an opportunity to
present Paine for the place.

sINcLAIR's TRUE CHARACTER.


The Press has no desire TO humiIi-
ate any one through its colu ans and
Is not in the habit Of digeini up bur-
led skeletons unless 1t becomes neces-
sary in the discharge OF our duty to
the public, and when it comes to
this we do 1t without fear or favor.
During the progress uf the present
campaign the county attorney wrote
q letter to the board OF county com
mlasioners asking for the appoint
ment OF a deputy in his office. The
board complied with his request and
II was understood that the sineoure
would so to Bartlett Sinclair. The
whole proceeding was looked upon as
\ political move for the purpose Of
sliencing Sinolair's opposition TO the
political machine, state and county
s--at the expense Of the people. The
Press objected TO this method Of
aqnandering the peoples money, and
Ia order 10 show the true character Of
the man the republican politicians
we're attempting 10 placate at public
expense we were compelled to refer
to hia Philippine record, stating that
he had been removed from office as
treasurer OF Rial province for alleg
ed embezzlement Of public funds.
Sinclair and his advisers thought it
would be a good political move to
have Us arrested for criminal libel,
and County Attorney Whitla became
40 enthused over the proposition that
he could not conatin himself, and
gave the fact out that our arrest was
TO take place. Others OF the republi-
can leaders advised against the move,

Scott" consumed Sinclair and his
friends aud the plunge into political
suicide was made. We we're arrested
for telling the truth and exposing po-
iitical rottenness that has become a
stencil In the nostrils Of honest peo-
pie regardless Of party. Sinclair
proclaimed bis innocence and assum.
cd an DIR OF injured character. In
his smooth way he told how he had
been maligned and lied about by the
Press. This, together with the fact
that we had been arrested for alleged
criminal libel made IL necessary for
us TO prove our charges or stand con-
gictod before the public us wreoker

we are neither we publish In this Is
sue u the Press an official letter
from the war department showing
Sinclair's true character in verse

The evidence Is so complete and con-
vinclng that the political effect of our
arrest Is 10 the discredit of the re-
publican ring and we appeal to our
friends throughout the county, to
those who have known us for the past
fifteen years, to the people for whom
the Press has battled these many
years 70 stand by us in this fight for
