B. D. CROKER IN NORTH YAKIMA
Republic Says He Looks More Like
Advance Agent for Y. M. G. A.
Than Political Boss.

B. D. Croker, collector of internal
revenue at Tacoma is in the city to-
day. He came over on account or
business connected with his office
which is in the federal court at this
session, says the Yakima Republic.
Mr. Crocker is sometimes facetiously
referred to by his enemies-and ne
admits the existence of a few-as the
republican boss of the state. He Is a
benevolent looking young man of about
so or So. who SENS more like the
advance agent for a new Y. M. Z. A.
building than like a hated polltlcal
boss. He is soft spoken, mild man
nered person. and declares and swears
that he knows nothing whatever ABOUT
politics.. When the name of John L..
Wilson or Eugene Lorton is mentioned
in his presence a cloud passes swiftly
over his countenance, but if you ask
him why. he will answer that he
doesn't know unless it is because ne
has a slight headache.
Mr. Croker is a personal friend OF
Senator Ankeny, and has on that ac-
count had a great deal to say ABOUT
the distribution of the federal bust
ness.
AS a federal office holder, even his
enemies admit that he is all wool ana
a yard wide. His administration Oh
the collectors office has been model

that the ghost was about to walk for
