ATTACK on THE PRESIDENT.

Item OF S2S,OOO for Travelling Expenses.
WASHINGTON, JUNE "A bitter criticism
OF the appropriation of s25 900 proposed
in the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill for the
travelling expenses of the President and of
the alleged extravaganza of the Chief Exec

use, was made in the Hous Of Representa-

attempt toRag--the salary o. the President,

1t was a new departure. and it was MIR.
Brundidge's candid judgment that the srlt-
gestion came from the White House itself.
If the President wanted the legislation.
MIR 5rundidgc said, he should say so openly
in a message to Congress. not make slg-

for a few favored pets from the House or
Senate, and carving them through the
back room Of the White House, and there
formulating and shaping such national
legislation as the President may desire or
such as he may be opposed to-"
Mr.. Brund.dge said he could see no COOP
reason for appropriating money to pay the
campaign expenses of the President, most
of his trips being for political effect. He
thought the forty policemen detailed at the
White House should be replaced by a de-
tachment Of the army IAN let some of these
policemen devote their attention TO pro-
tecting the peace and quiet Of innocent
women and children Of Washington. who
are being assaulted night after night"
He referred to the incident of the election
Of Mrs. Minor Morris from the White
House, ~denounoing it as an insult to Ameri-
can ~womanhood, disgraoeful in the extreme.
A~fterward, Mr., Brundidge said, these police

tendent Alex Anderson of the Wash
ington division of the o. r. & n. rail-

men on a new steel bridge across the
Umatila on the Spokane branch of the

ness necessitates the completion of the
work this year and the bridge gang is
redoubling it's energies to push the
work to a finish.
Piles are now being driven in the
bed of the river to form a breakwater
so the excavation work can be done.
After the foundation cement piles
are laid a steel superstructure of thS
most modern style will be laid and the
bridge when finished, will be one Of
the handsomest as we'll as most SER
viceable on any railroad in the state.

Don't Like Mead's Plan.

Alfred L. Black, mayor of Bellingham.
VINO opposed Governor Albert E. Mead
for the delegation to the state
convention from Whatcom couny, as a
candidate for congress. and the lFader
of the republican faction in Whatcom
county opposed to the forces lined up
with Governor Mead, favors the ap-
portionment for the next republican
state convention on the vote for the
entire state ticket, with the exception
of governor.
1T is the desire of the republican
state central committee, in fixing a
basis Of representation for the next
state convention, to ascertain the true
republican vote at the last election"
said Mayor Black, land this result can
best be obtained by taking the entire
ticket, with the exception Of governor
and then striking an estimate on, the
difference in the vote on the different
candidates.
1T would not be a correct estimate
OF the republican vote to place the
apportionment either on the presiden-
tial electors or on the governor, as a
great many democrats voted for Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and a great many re-
publicans cut Governor Mead. The
last election was very peculiar, and it
would not be fair basis to take any
one candidate, but with the entire
ticket, excepting the governor, and
making a general estimate of the diff
ference in the vote. reliable basis
for the normal republican vote in the
last election would be secured"
