Spokane Republicans Frame Up
Plans For Campaign.
THREE CANDIDATES FOR LOWER HOUSE
Would be Satisfied With Governor If
That Job Can be
Landed.

SpohaHe wants congressman AT
the hands of the next republican con-
vention, and to show the state That
she is in earnest about it she has
three or four candidates more or less
active, is the report that comes from
Spokane
AS basis for this activity, it is
claimed that the second largest county
in the state. has no representation II
either the United States senate or the
lower house, mas no state officer, and
is only represented on the supreme
bench, having two places there, how
ever.
There is opposition at home to the
effort to secure a congressman. The
opposition is of a double nature. Some
republicans are afraid a congress-
man could be secured only by sacri-
ficing Representative Jones; others
wish Spokane to lay low until the
state convention two years from now
and then put forward a candidate for
governor.
Harrison Supports Jones.
Millard T. Harrison postmaster, is
most talked of for congress, but he
is Loyalty supporting Mr. Jones, and
says Spokane could not get a con-
gresham without sacrificing the Yak
ina man, but he will be counted upon
in an effort to secure a place for Spo-
kane.
w. H. Ludden, attorney, formerly
register Of the United States land Of
flee here, would like to go to congress,
and if the movement to give Spokane
ncunced he will attempt to secure
the nome delegation.
Harry Rosenhaupt, member of the
! lower house of the state legislature in
1901, also will make a fight for the
Endorsement of Spokane county.
T. D. Rockwell is supposed to have
congressional aspirations, but he may
be content for the present with his
position on the state tax commission
D. T. Ham for Governor.
D. T. Ham for four years has been
| the most frequently mentioned Spo-
kane man for the nomination for gov
ernor, and still is talked of in that
connection. 1t is not certain that he
! would accept
If Mr.. Harrison cannot be induced
to enter the fight to give Spokane a
congressman because of the danger to
Mr.. Jones, he will use as an argu-
| ment against an attempt to secure the
| congressman the desirability of Sc
curing the nomination of governor for
Mr.. Ham or some other Spokane man.
On the other hand, if the cry is
made to demand nothing this year in
order to secure the nomination for
governor, it may throw Gov. Mead
into the fight in an effort to secure a
congressman for Spokane, in order to
| keep Spokane out of the fight for
governor. If Spokane gets no con-
gresham this year, politicians say
she certainly will make a strong fight
for the governorship two years later

fiattering to Postmaster Brunton when

PROTECTION DEAD.
Rising British Politician Says Present
Elections Mark Coming UphesWaI.

LONDON, JAN 29.-"We have killed
protection. This is the beginning of
such a political upheaval as has not
been seen in England since the days
of the great reform bill Manchester
has saved herself by her exertions;
she will save England by her exam
Pile"
Thus spoke Winston Churchill Sat-
urday night; and mis- opinion that free
trade has gained victory is the opin-
ion of the more responsible of the
unionist newspapers, though many OF
them attempt to explain the result of
the elections of Saturday as due more
to questions like the Chinese labor in
South Africa, war taxation, etc. No
where, however is there any hint at
minimizing the hurricane that has
overtaken the unionist party or a sug-
gestion of doing anything but to beat
an orderly retreat and save what is
possible.
The Daily News neralds Winston
Churchill as 1.-The rising hope Of the
liberal party, a man whose career has
now become one of the most interest
ing in the empire"
Mr.. Balfour, though evidently deep
ly disappointed at the loss Of his seat
T.. cy,1o "a Inn
ness Saturday night when he deliv-
cred an admirably dispassionate and
impressive speech. Already the for
mer premier has had safe seats Of
fered MIN, but as yet he has reached
no decision.
Pollings are fixed for today in twen-
ty-one London districts and forty
seven provincial boroughs. The Lon
don districts were previously repre-
scented by seventeen unionists and four
liberals. Today's results, therefore,
will afford a good test Of whether Lon
don is to follow the lead Of Mancnes-
ter.
Labor Party's Position.
The great success which the labor
party is experiencing is likely to have
a marked influence On the future re-
lations Of the liberal and Irish par
ties The present prospect is that Sir
Henry Campbell may OBJ
tain a majority large enough to make
him Independent of the nationalists. In
that case, should there be large la
Dor party in the new parliament, the
possibility Of an alliance between the
nationalists and the laborites would
become interesting. James Kier Har-
die, one Of the most prominent Of the
labor leaders, already has made over
lures for such an alliance, while 1t is
known that John Burns, the president
of the local government board, is
strong advocate Of home rule in Ire
land

attended. 1t is vacation time at WHIT

yesterday. Nearly every "mucker' in
the dorm was there and joined heartily
in the service. Besides the usual Cos
pei hymns, which were sung heartily

Her Hearts Desire Gratified Just az
Life's Journey Neared End.

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Mrs. Will
liam Astor, leader Of New York's
400" has cause for much qualification
today in knowing that one of her acts
of kindness brought extreme Joy to
an aged friend a few days before the
possibility to extend it would have
vanished
Miss Mary Noonan, 20 years old
lies dead at her little home in Red
bank, N. j., but she died happy in the
realization of a lifetime's longing. For
a full week recently she was the guest
of Mrs. Astor, and shared in the pleas
ures of a close family friend. AS the
aged woman herself expressed it: y
had the time of my life
For years during her early and
middle life, Miss Noonan was en-
ployed as a seamstress in the Aston
household, and although she witnessed
many brilliant functions in the AS
tor mansion, she had no share in them
other than as a worker. During these
long years she often said she was per-
fectly content but for lacking person
al participation in the gaieties thai
she witnessed.

Uncle Sam Getting Economical
Uncle Sam is getting economical these
days and has decided that postoffices
where the revenues do not come up to
$4,000 a year do not need a telephone.
AS the Walla Walla Office comes under
this head, Postmaster Brunton mas
been notified that the $50 a year al
lowed for the telephone in his Office
has been cut off. The telephone in the
Walla Walla office was merely used to
ascertain the arrival of trains and was
never listed in the telephone direc-
tory. The reason assigned for dis
continuing allowances for telephones
in smaller offices is that the incidental
fund is running low.
