The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1908-10-29

During the present campaign it
has been found that Mr.. Taft's
injunction record and the question
of guaranty of bank deposits are
tho chief issues in this campaign.
The state committee has directed
all the state speakers to take an
aggressive position on both of these
important issues. 1t has been
found that a great deal Of the
alleged opposition among labor
people to Mr.. Taft is due to the
fact that Gompers and other DEM
ocratic orators have persistently
and grossly misrepresented Taft's
position regarding labor. The
Republican campaign speakers are
having no trouble whatever in
finding ready listeners and making
many converts by plain discussion
of the actual facts and of Mr.. Taft's
record while on the bench regard
ing injunctions. The state COM
mittee is hearing splendid reports
daily from sections of the state
where there are abor organizations,
and it is freely predicted that.
while the labor situation may have
been a little bad some weeks ago,
there has been so much improve
ment during the last three weeks
that Taft will undoubtedly receive
the normal Republican vote from
the labor element.-Seattle Repub-
lican.

have examined the same with a
view to full knowledge of the facts
as set out in the said printed state
ment, and we find as follows: That

w. H. Graham for sheriff.
That we have no knowledge of
the authority for the issuance of
said statement, and we do hereby
repudiate the same as being a
grossly libelous publication. That

There is an old fellow who lives in a
"dry" New England town who has u
very poor opinion of New York, to
which metropolis he recently made a
visit. 1t may be remarked in passing
that the old gentleman is one of the
pillars of the church in his native vii
lage. Upon his return home he sat for
some time upon a sugar barrel at the
grocery and then suddenly burst out:
Them fellers down to New York is
as bad as thieves Cheat your eye
teeth out fore you know it,
Gosh, Hiram. You don't mean to
say you got bunkoed at your age?' the
storekeeper demanded. dropping the
nail tongs.
Yes, l did, too!' was the angry re-
ply. II went to a sody water fountain
an asked the teller for his best sar-
syprilla, an l give him the regular
wink
"Well?' the storekeeper demanded.
"Well, by heck. l got it"' was the
Disguised reply.

DR.. Sutherland's candidacy for
county commissioner from the
Third district has been received
with much favor by voters-through-
out the county. The doctors quail
fications as business man of
diversified experience are Just what
the county needs at this critical
time in its finances. That he will
receive a large vote and safe cleo
ton is to be expected, although a
strong fight is being waged against
him by the Democratic press and
he is being misquoted on various
propositions. A campaign of the
character that has been waged on
Mr.. Sutherland since before the
primaries usually reacts and aids
the one it is intended to injure.

The workman wants progressive
government which will understand
and protect his interests. 1t is adj
mitted that the Roosevelt admins
tration has done more to protect
the interests Of labor than any
other since the civil war. The
president says that Mr.. Taft is one
of the best friends of honest labor
and has helped the president in
executing the eight-hour law, in
raising the wages of American
workmen at Panama. and in pro-
noting other interests of organized
labor. Is not President Roosevelt's
opinion entitled to weight? Think
it over before you vote.

BASEBALL SEASON
DirectOrSOf Northwestern
League Frame Up a
Schedule for COM
ing Season Of
20 Weeks.

TACOMA, March 13.-After being
in session for three days the directors
of the Northwestern Baseball League
ended their big powwow at the Taco
ma hotel last night at 11:1O O'Clock.
Coming down the home stretch they
adopted a schedule, calling for a sea-
son of twenty-five weeks. The open
ing games will be played Saturday
afternoon, April is, in Seattle, Spo-
kane and Tacoma. According to the
present program the curtain will be
dropped on the pennant race Septem-
ber 20, practically three weeks ear
lier than last season.
Being unable to get down to the
bottom of the Spokane franchise
muddle, and beingconvinced that the
more testimony they heard the worse
the tangle became, the directors de-
cided to let the franchises remain
just as they were at the time they
expired. The result of this decision
gives Eddle quinn Cne spokane team
for another year, and incidentally de-
cides that the games in Spokane will
be played at Recreation park instead
of NatatOrium.
All the magnates were satisfied
with the schedule except Brown OF
Aberdeen, who wanted more than
seven weeks of ball at home. The
majority were against the Aberdeen
magnate, and he had to bow to their
will. Aberdeen opens the season.
however, in Spokane, Vancouver and
Aberdeen and plays the second week
view, the schedule favors the Black
Cat management.

FIND INTERNAL MACHINE.
RELIC OF TODD MURDER

An Internal machine, built for the
purpose of setting off dynamite, was
found by workmen at Todd's camp,
on the East Hoquiam, and sent to
Hoquiam, where it is now on exhi-
bition. The machine is one supposed
to be built by Ralph Steele, murderer
of Frank Todd, for the purpose of
blowing up the Todd camp, should
Mrs. Todd dare tell Todd any of the
advances made towards her by the
archdemon.
The machine is constructed from
an alarm clock, and on the alarm
shaft piece of string is wound,
which is connected with an empty
bottle tied to another shaft which
.revolves. When the clock is running
and the alarm set for a certain time,
the running of the alarm pulls the
string and turns over the bottle, con-
tanning some chemical, into tin can
top, which presumably sets off the
fuse to the powder.
The machine was discovered under
a pile of brush about 1000 feet from
the camp in which Todd lived.
