THEY'RE AFTER ANKENY.

With the return from Olympia OF
some of those who got to the inside OF
state politics comes the news of the
possible candidates. and the manner
in which fences are being strung Tor
the coming senatorial contest. Also is
given the news of those candidates who
would take up the onerous duties or
governor.
AS vet there is little interest in the
gubernatorial contest. Beyond the an
nouncement of a few candidates such
as Governor Mead, Falconer Paulhau-
mus, Poison of Hoquiam, Veness OF
Lewis and Cosgrove of Pomeroy, these
are only small ripples in that pool.
Spokane is to put forward candidate
in the person of D. T. Ham, but there
are indications of that porky boom be-
ing sliced too early for effective cam
paigning.
It is in the senatorial contest Hn
which Walla Walla is most interested
and the indications point to tricky
work by outside candidates which will
exceed the crookedness of past battles.
John L. Wilson is, as usual, candi-
date for the Office notwithstanding his
past performances in the shape of an
nouncements of withdrawals and the
testing of delegations. Wilson's battle
has assumed the status of a personal
fight against Senator Ankeny. whose
defeat would be the biggest plum Will
son could hope for, even at the risk
of losing what little hold he has on the
delegations.
The only strong candidate at this time
is Congressman Wesley Jones who is
rapidly framing up against Senator An
keny with a scheme to draw away the
loyal supporters of the Walla Walla
man.
1t is in conjunction with this scheme
to undermine the senator that deals
have been fixed up with the Evening
Bunc" and its following Of unemployed
leader at every turn and. if possible,
destroy all chances of his going into
the fight with solid delegation
through splitting the organization at
home. Every method known to dirty
politics will be adopted in the effort to
split the Walla Walla delegation mex.
year and the first move will be the
injection of more venom into the city
campaign.
At this distance though, it looks as
if the heavy burdens carried by the
"Bunc" and the city administration
have been too great and that they will
not be able to deliver the goods to the
Yakima dictator of the curbstone pol
ices
Yet it behooves loyal Walla Wallans
to be on their guard from this on
against the tricks of the "Bunc'Kees
gang.
