POLITICAL

''Now that the money bags have been
eliminated from the senatorial campaigns OF
this state, it is about time for the people to
get in and send Jones and Cushman to the
senate, y laconically came from we'll known
politician one day this week, who, in the
past, has been an Ankeny devotee. Such
political expressions are frequently heard
these days, and so much so that the idea is
fast fixing itself in the minds of the voters,
and unless it is headed off in the very near
future no power will be able to stem it. Ii
Jones and Cushman decide to form COM
bination for mutual political protection, both
defensive and offensive, Jones taking the
plum next year and Cushman four years
later, death only on the part of the two men
can prevent it, "Of course that means the
defeat of King county's candidate for the
senate but it is only the fortunes OF war,
and then, again, King county does not seem
inclined to take any steps to prevent such
a catastrophe, and it is up to her"
"There is one way to my mind by which
King county may save herself from defeat
and that is by doing politics with Pierce
county, and instead of supporting Jones next
year, support Frank Cushman, with the firm
and abiding understanding that, Pierce
county return the compliment two years
later when Senator Piles is up for re-elec-
ton" came from Tacoma man one day this
week. 'For once" he continued 'Pierce
county will be complete mistress of the stu
alton She can help Jones next year, and
with Cushman as her candidate two years
later, with Jones helping her, he (Cushman)
would be able to defeat any man King county
might put forward AS yet Pierce has made
no combination on the senatorial situation,
and King county would do well to have
talk with Pierce before the campaign really
opens There is hardly any doubt but that
Jones will be a candidate for the senate next
year He has not exactly announced his cam
didacy, but he will do so before he returns to
Washington next fall unless Cushman IN
the meantime announces his intention of him
self being a candidate to succeed. Ankeny.
The two senators of the state should natur
ally come from King and Pierce countless
and if they will but take advantage of their
opportunities they will come from the two
counties, Cushman from Pierce next year
and Piles from King two years later. "

PRICE TEN CENTS.

should do so it is more than likely that he
would select Governor Albert Mead for the
reason that he (Ankeny) has no more use
for Mcbride than has the devil for holy
water. Governor Mead at present is said to
be lined up with former Senator John l..
Wilson, and if Anlzeny would select Mead
as his man he would be more than likely to
clash with Wilson, and the devil, politically
speaking, would be to pay. That the owner
of the P-T at this time looks favorably on
the candidacy Of Mead is almost certain,
though the senator will not let it touch him.
When questioned about the matter one day
this week he laconically replied, cts too
early to talk politics yet. l have not given
the matter the first thought. In fact, am
not interested in the gubernatorlal fight. l.
am for anyone the Republicans nominate
Despite the prediction, as well as allega-
tions, that the direct primary law IN this
state was instrumental in nominating man
for mayor on the Republican ticket in Spo-
kane who was personally Objectionable to the
rank and file Of the Republicans of that city,
his nomination being due to Democratic IN
terference, c. Herbert Moore, the Republican
candidate for mayor, beat his Democratic OPP
ponent Floyd Daggett by an overwhelming
majority last Tuesday Mayor Daggett had
for the past two years given Spokane wide
open town and the citizens tired Of such law
lessness and voted for a man that promised
to give the city at least a decent admins
tration, if not Sunday school one And
thus passes the ambitions of Floyd Daggett
to be governor of the state of Washington
under the direct primary law.
Abe Lincoln Walters has lost out, just as
was predicted by the Pie-maker some weeks
ago The Pie-maker did not predict that
Walters would lose out because he was op-
posed to him, but because he (Walters) was
being backed by the Evening Swillbarrel.
Whoever and whatever the Swillbarrel backs
or espouses they or that is sure to fail OF
course there are some who will read this
allegation that will say it is made for per-
sonal reasons, which is not correct, and the
past will bear out the assertion. Let your
mind run back over the past since the Bleth-
ems have had charge of the Times and see il
it has not lost every fight it has made, except
the blackmailing one it has made to bring
money to it's directors and owners, and that
is no credit to any paper, as any blackmail-
ing sheet can eXtort money from such per-
sons as are afraid Of public exposure. Mayor
Moore, after many weark weeks trying to
get rid of the superintendent of streets, A
L. Walters, finally took the bull by the horns
and removed him from Office, and Walters
having tired of the struggle retired without
taking the matter into court, because he real
lied he was being backed by the Times, and
that was like unto being cast in the ocean
with milestone around his neck-a dead Jo-
nah

The lineup and the would-be lineup be-
tween King and Pierce counties to the detrl-
ment of Ankeny sounds good, but the politi-
clans of both of the aforesaid counties are
reckoning without their host if they count
himself Should he withdraw from the politi-
cal arena, it would mean the complete over
throw Of the politicians and bosses who were
instrumental in electing him to the senate,
which selfsame cOterie of politicians at pres
ent control the federal patronage of the state.
However anxious Senator Ankeny may or
might be to withdraw from the contest, his
lieutenants will resist to the bitter end any
move made in that direction, because they
realize it means their political extinction, and
they are not quite ready for that as yet, and
will never stand for it so long as Levi An
keny has the Hdough' to make fight on,
and the direct primaries will give them little
or no concern as to the liberal use Of the
money for senatorial election purposes
Speaking about the reelection of Senator
Ankeny reminds the Pie-mazer that regu-
lar state campaign is rapidly coming on, and
the senator will have to line up with some
candidate for governor before very much
longer in order to have political nueclus
around which he can rally his men, There
are already number of candidates for gov
ernor as we'll as number of dark horse
candidates who have their lightning rods
up, hoping that the direct primary may hit
them before the next state campaign is closed,
and, as already said, Senator Ankeny is COM
PEELED to line up with one or the other OF
these candidates in order that his senatorial
interest may be looked after in the naming
of the various Republican state candidates
for office
The already announced candidates for the
gubernatorial nomination are Governor AL
bert E. Mead, Hon. Samuel Cosgrove, former
Governor Henry Mcbride, State Senator
Alex Poison and Representative Lee A.
johnson. Who of these candidates Senator
Ankeny will back is the all-absorbing ques-
ton in the political circles of this state at
present Presumably it will be Mr.. Cosgrove
owing to the fact that the latter is from his
section of the state, and unless Senator An
keny has strong following in Eastern
Washington he will not have the first show
of reelection. The senator might select Lee
johnson as his gubernatorial candidate and
with him make as good showing as with
Cosgrove Both of those gubernatorial as
pirants are more or less popular in Eastern
Washington and would add much to the SEN
ator's rather dilapidated political props 1t
might be wise for the senator to come west
of the mountains to get gubernatorial tim

TUSCALOOSA COUNCIL.
Aldermen Take steps to Reduce Ex.
 . pensen.

Tuscaloosa, Oct. 4.--{ Especially )--The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen was held in the City Hall last night.
 The reports of the City Clerk, Chief of Police, Dispensary and Finance Committee were read and passed upon. The Mayor read to the Board budget of the expenses of running the city, which showed total of $12,225 to cover everything to January I. The dispensary paid the city $23.000 last year, and the city has used up to this time about $16,000 of this fund.
 The Mayor asked for some sugges- ton from the Board as to when the dispensary should be closed. and also how to cut down some of the ctty's ex- penses.
 Alderman searcy suggested that the dispensary close by January l, so they would not be liable for the State and county license which would be $2.250. He also suggested the feed bill of the city teams, street lights and street force be cut down.
 It was decided to offer for sale three pairs of mules with the wagons and harness, to be sold to the highest bid der, to cut off several street lights and take off one policeman from the present force.
 derman c. W. Weatherford handed his resignation to the Mayor. It was laid over until the next meeting, when some action will be taken.

Chief Deputy Taylor Solves Question
 of Bookkeeping.


 Through advice from the late Sher- If Belser's attorneys. Chief Deputy A. J. Taylor has arranged to proceed witn keeping the books of the ofice without having to solve an aostnuse prooieh;
 Al first MT. Taylor had thought 1t would become necessary for him to al once close the books of the dead sher- if, whereupon he would have had To open a set of books during the tenure of Acting Sheriff Tice, and after that 1t would have been necessary to open third set of books for the new perman- ent sheriff, who is to be appointed by the Governor.
 All of this wat at first a problem to Mir Taylor as he had no books othet than those of the deceased sheriff. Upon consulting attorneys, he was advised that 1t would be perfectly proper to continue using the same set of books he now has on hand as the acting and permanent sheriffs are only to i'll out the unexpired term of MT.
