was Indignantly surprised when told
that Fred T. Sherman had been ar

and declared that there was nothing to
the charge that the Barber Asphalt
agent had induced him to sign an ordi-
nance favorable to the Barber Asphalt
company for a money consideration
Il know absolutely nothing about it,
ne said, when asked what there was to
the charge. There is no reason in the
world why Sherman or any other paw
ing contractor should attempt TO bride
the mayor
DO you know Mr.. Sherman" the
reporter asked.
Il do. 1 know him as the man who
had charge of the Barber Asphalt
company's work a year ago.
Did he ever come to see you?"
"On, yes. There is no one employed
in paving here that 1 haven't talked
with about city work. I saw him the
same as l saw the other contractors"
WAS there ever any attempt made
to offer you money in any manner in
connection with the paving
certainly not. There has never
been occasion Here, I think, is the
view people ought to take of this mat
ter Providing the contractors were
bribers and the officials of Tacoma
were willing to accept money, they
would not be giving it out unless they
could get value received for it,
Under our system of bids it is alb
solutely impossible for any city off,
cial to render value received for a
bride. The bids must be let in open
competition to the lowest bidder AS

ing to do with the letting of any con-

Will Make Fight Before The Next
Legislature.
PROMINENT ", C. I. U. WOMEN IN LEAD
To Ask Legislature to Submit Cues
ton of Franchise to the Voters
of Washington.

A number of women of the state Of
Washington are agitating the question
of woman suffrage An effort will be
made at the next legislature when
they will seek to have the constitution
of the state amended by submitting the
proposition to the waters.
In speaking of the proposed move
ment at Spokane Mrs. J. w. Spangler.
a prominent member of the w. c. T. u.
said: THE Woman's Christian Tenn
perance union of the state of WASH
ington will follow the gallant fight now
being waged by their sisters in the
state of Oregon for woman's suffrage.
AT the next meeting of the legislature,
understand an amendment to the
constitution will be presented for
woman's suffrage in this state, to be
voted on, and then submitted to the
people at the next election.
THE right of women to vote has
been agitated on the coast for many
pears, and when it was submitted to
the people of Oregon 10 years ago it
was lost by a small margin. Il will be
voted on again. and they are almost
certain to carry it.
AT the last convention of the w. c..
T. U. at Seattle a few montns ago the
idea was advanced that the laws pro-
hibiting women from voting on all
questions We're unconstitutional The
United States constitution gives us
the privilege of voting, it is claimed,
and we want to have our rights. We
are taxed without representation, and
We shall keep up the agitation until
| our rights are determined.
There will be no test started here, I
believe, but they will be started on
the coast, where they are closer to the
seat of state government. From now
on until the Legislature meets the agi-
tation will be kept up by the various
| branches of the w. c. T. U. of the
state"
