SPLAWN MAY QUIT
MAYOR PATTERSON IS
ASKING WITHDRAWAL
ColfaN Man Thinks He Is the Real
Strong Man for Democratic
Nomination.

Mayor John Patterson of Colfax,
who wants to be the Democratic can
didate for governor. is seeking an
absolutely free field and no contest,
and with this in view expects to be in
North Yakima in few days to ask
Hon. A. J. Splawn to withdraw from
the race if he has any desire for the
nomination. He made the statement
at Seattle. where he has been to ask
Judge Goldman to quit the field, and
he intends to ask DR.. Bryne of Spo-
kane to also get out Of the race.
In so doing he is asking the three
strongest men in the field to quit for
his benefit. At least that is the APP
pearance shown TO some extent by
the straw vote being taken by the
Orator-Outburst of Spokane. This
gives Splawn 2512 votes, Bryne 1898
son is given 1927 votes. A dispatch
from Seattle says of his mission:
John Patterson. mayor of Colfax,
candidate for the Democratic nomina-
ton for governor. arrived in the city
yesterday to enlist the support of To-
cal Democrats. Mr.. Patterson had
no hesitancy in sayrn gthat his mis-
sion is to secure the withdrawal of
Judge NJ. NJ Goldman of this city, A.
J. Splawn of Yakima and Dr. P. s.
Byrne of Spokane.
Mr. Patterson said he will call on
Judge Goldman today with view of
talking the situa lion over to him. but
he said that the mission is one of ex-
IRENE delicacy. Some of the local
Democrats anxious to avoid a con-
test over the nomination for COVER
nor. in the hope that there is a
chance for victory with a united par
ty, expect to help him. They are to
point out to Judge Goldman the con-
stitut'onal provision that any mem
Der of the legislature, during any
session where the salary of a civil Of
fetal has been increased, may not be
candidate for that office while he
l is a member of that legislative SEES
SION The governors salary was in
creased at the last session. Judge
Godman's term will not expire until
January | when his successor is
elected and qualified. and he could
hot. therefore, enter the guberna-
torial race or qualify if elected.
Judge Goldman holds the key to
the situation Mr.. Patterson de-
clared, for Mr.. Splawn is already on
record at Spokane, he says, with a
statement that it is not wise for sew
eral men to aspire to the gubernato-
rial nomination at one time, and that
the leaders of the party should got
together and select the strongest man
Cor the place.
Mr.. Patterson said that if he is
nominated and elected he will follow
the lead of Governor Hughes of New
York. and lett every body know what
he is doing while the states chief
executive officer ''Publicity.' he
said, lis what we need in these times
and | shall take the press into my
entire confidence if | am elected"

No Poor People.

There are no poor people there.
A. j. Splawn told me they had no
poor people. nobody that required
help from the authorities. Where
will you find another city of 1900
inhabitants where everybody is pros
porous? There are a good many old
soldiers living in the city and in the
country around, all prosperous
have their carriages come after them.
Just like Pierpont Morgan. You
won't find that condition in any
other farming country in the state?"
A campfire was held last evening
at the Methodist church, the social
event of the encampment. Delega-
tons of veterans were taken on short
trips through the suburbs and sur
rounding country in automobiles or
behind spanking driving teams. The
visitors were Toasted and feted, and

Candidates Present.
Two of the candidates for COVER
nor Of the state were among the
members, 5. G. Cosgroye of Pomeroy
and Colonel William y. Ridpath OF

discussed in an official way by the
encampment there was a strong SEN
timent going around that before all
the boys go over to the beyond
there should be one of them honored
by the people of the state by cleo
