Governor and Mrs. Swanson returned
last night from Washington, where
since Tuesday the former has been at
tending the conference of State execu-
ives, called by, the President, to take

They arrived at the Mansion soon. be-
tore 10 O'Clock, and the Governor said
that though he enjoyed his stay at the
national capital he felt greatly ia
tigued as a result of being constantly
on the go while away. He is in thor
ough sympathy with the objects OF
the meeting just ended, and believes
that Its deliberations will result In
much good,
The social and business features OF
the occasion kept the Governor so busy
that he did not get an opportunity to-
visit the Copitol and see his old con-
gressional colleagues at work, though

hotel, Governor Swanson was grati-
hedIat3 the large attendance of Govern

SALOON MAN WOULD
BE GOVERNOR OF STATE

Seattle, Wash, Sept S.-Wlth the
arrival of primary day In Washing
ton. one of the most spectacular fig
ures in the political history of the
state has closed the most remarkable
campaigns ever waged in an attempt
to secure a gubernatorial nomination.
He is Jimmie Durkin of Spokane,
millionaire liquor dealer, railroad
president and disciple of personal
liberty Durkin seeks to become the
democratic standard bearer, and de-
clares that If he is nominated he will
certainly carry the state for his par
ty. If nominated and elected, he has
promised to donate his salary to char
ity.
Durkin is aggressive and peculiar.
When he has anything to say he
spreads the joyful things by means
of bulletins in his saloon windows
and full four-column advertisements
in the daily papers.
He is against prohibition, but ad-
vocates temperance in all things. al
so universal personal liberty. He be-
lieves in unionism and urges the la
borer and the farmer to organize. His
chief aim since arriving in Spokane
II years ago has been to make peo-
pie talk about his achievements.

ing" he said, because it's the best
medium in the world for publicity"

FOR LARGER ARMY.
ROOSEVELT ADVOCATES
100000 IN REGULAR FORCE
Needs More Soldiers to Garrison the
Posts and Inuslar Possessions.

Washington, Sept. president
Roosevelt in his final annual message
TO congress probably will recon-
mend an increase in the numerical
strength Of the army to at least 1OO,-
600 men. At present the army is on
a footing of $4,000 men, the number
provided for in time of peace.
To the general staff it has become
evident in the last two years that
$4,000 men are too few properly to
garrison posts at which it is neces-
sary to maintain an army force. These
posts include the garrlsons in the in
sular possessions of America. The
law provides that the army may be
increased to 10000 in time of need.
This provision in the opinion Of mill
tary experts. is likely to prove a Sc
rious handicap othe army if abso-
Lutte necessity should arise for larg-
er force.
It is pointed out that the recruit
ing Of the army from $4,000 to 10O,-
600 men would bring into the service
an addition Of approximately two in
experienced men to every three ex-
perienced soldiers The injection Of
so considerable a force of raw re-
cruits, it is said by military officials,
would detract seriously from the ef-
ficiency Of the army.
Need Men for Pearl HarbOr.
II is also pointed out that con-
siderable force viii be required to
garrison the fortifications at Pearl
Harbor in the Hawaiian Islands. An
immense amount of money Is to be
expended in the erection Of these for
tifications and It is the opinion Of
army officials that a garrison Of at
least 1000 men will have to be main
tanned there in order to protect tho
works and insure against invasion by
a possible enemy Just now there are
