80 RECRUITS
FOR CARMEN

Over 30 new members joined the
Garments union last night and from
present appearances the w. W. P.
Co. will have a steady fight on its
hands until such time as it con-
cedes to its men the right to or
ganize for mutual help and protec-
ton.
Local union men are we'll salts
fed with the progress made during
the past year The fact that the
w. w. p. Co. has been compelled
to raise the wages Of its employees
on street cars and is paying its best
linemen 10 cents per hour over
the union scale is a source of COM
fort to the union worklngmen. even
though they do not directly share
in the increase.
1t is expected that the fight on
Natatorium park will be carried on
fully as effectively as last year.

REPUBLICANS
ALL RllED UP

The announcement In The Press
last night that Governor Albert
Mead had taken a hand in the local
political game and tried to straight
en- out matters in the republican
ranks raised a ruction among re-
publicans who are not close to
Doust and Moore. Secretary Laws,
of the Doust forces, was heard to
state last night that II any such
proposition as Doust pntting up to
Moore a scheme for the latter's
withdrawal in return for COM
missionership was presented it was
done without his knowledge or
consultation. Many other republl-
cans have expressed themselves in
like manner. Gordon Corbaley, the
Moore representative. is non-com-
initial. Governor Mead and the
board OF control went to Cheney
today. lie had another conference
last night, but no new develop
ments are obtainable. The COVER

DAYS MORE
TO REGISTER

been coming In steadily, force OF
Daggett machine workers having
systematized things so that no par
ticular furry has occurred that was
noticeable. The Second ward is
said to have registered this time
in excess Of numbers ever before
turned in.
The precedent established by
past years as to the percentage OF
the registration that will go to
the polls sets the mark at 10 per
cent. It is expected that more
than 5000 will turn out to the
primaries on account of the hot
fight in the republican ranks be-
tween G. Herbert Moore and w. j.
Doust for the head of the ticket.
The Daggett forces will not need
to exhibit their full strength on ac-
count of there being no opponent
to Daggett. In consequence Dag
gett may throw part Of his
strength to Moore because he fears
the popular strength of Doust. The
advisability Of this is being con-
sidered at the city hall.

CITY HALL PROBLEM

Mayor Daggett is not certain
whether he prefers to run against
Moore or Doust. There has been
considerable talk of the city hall
machine throwing its surplus vote
to the weakest republican can
didate for mayor at the coming
primary election. The great trou-
Bile now confronting the machine
is to find out which man is the
weaker Some days It looks like
Moore and again like Doust, with
the result that brain storm
threatens the inner circle of city
hall politicians.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1907-04-12

The present outlook indicates
that the registration for the spring
election, unless it takes exception
al boom between now and next
Tuesday, will not exceed $1,000. E.
F. Waggoner, chairman of the COM
mittee working for the nomination
of w. J. Doust for mayor, few
weeks ago predicted registration
of $4,000. City Clerk Flemming
predicted 10000. Up to noon today
there were registered II 500, which
would leave 80 to make the 10000,
or more than 100 day before the
books close.
Today has been particularly
quiet. A general apathy is felt,
which would indicate dropping
off of interest. Both the Moore
and Doust forces are said to have
registered almost their entire
strength. The Moore strength may
be increased before the books
close, but the Doust forces are be-
leved to have completed their list.
A boom in registration from the
"Tenderloin" Is predicted. 1t has

MONDAY

The Moore mass meeting will be
held Monday night at Elks temple,
The Moore supporters are anxious
that rs many ladies as possible be
present as they wish to interest
them in the present campaign for
good government.
The Moore workers said this
morning that every w. w. p. Co.

lined up solldly for Doust.
Gordon Corbaley said today that
the election OF Mr.. Moore did not
mean the town would be closed
fo,. with but that the city would
be"e'bntrolled entirely by the bet
Ter element
He said there was no demand by
the general public that the town be
closed and any attempt to close the
lid tight would be opposed by bust
ness interests.
The lines are held to be now
clearly defined so the people may
fully understand that the present
campaign is between those who IA

CARDS city government and those
who believe In careful regulation.

case. The court took recess until

Evelyn appeared much refreshed.
Thaw gave out a statement this
morning saying he despised the
man who carried concealed
weapon and that he never went
armed until he learned his life was
endangered. He consulted an eX-
chief of police. who advised him it
was his duty to protect himself,
and added:

Speaking to group of news

sible. Allowing bail largely rests
with the district attorney. The at

Thaw will remain prisoner until
