ArAnsreite Special.

Washington, ID. c.. Nov. l9.-The
ranks OF the independent parusans
are recruited from the most uneX-
pected sources. Nobody has ever
accused ex-senator John c. Spooner
OF being an independent partisan.
In the senate he WAS q partisan

Of the word. That is Spooner al
ways acted as II he thought that
he served his country best who
served his party best-to give Q
twist to the famous words OF Presi'
dent Hayes. But q very few
months away from tho senatorial
atmosphere has done wonders even
for John c. Spooner as witness his
address AZ the National Founders
Association in New York last week
which has occasioned much com
ment in Washington. Mr.. Spooner
did not exactly throw caution 70
the winds. No one who knows the
brilliant gentleman from Wisconsin,
could conceive of him doing that
He did inquire whether all the
newspaper men had gone" and
then he said to the diners. Let

Now that statehood has become
