REPUBLICANS CALL
FOR DAILY

In the opinion of James DAILY,
the democratic party is still very
much alive, Notwithstanding the de-
feat of Bryan. The report that he
held contrary view of the future
of the party is pronounced a CAM
paign yarn by DAILY.
Mr.. DAILY will not run for mayor
in the next city election--that was
all joke. However, he will make
the race for, councilman from the
Third ward-that is ION the
square"
Jim launched his candidacy today
at the request-he says-of a num-
Der of republican friends. 1--WE
have never had democratic
councilman from the Third ward
said DAILY. But if l get the nom.
ination, and l think | can, I will
reverse conditions. as l feel that
with the republican support that
has been rendered me | can be
elected"

new Law TO ENFORCE
CITY WAGE SCHEDULE

Maloney said today that the federal
union men would enter into a part
nershfp agreement with the con-
tractors under the Maloney plan.
James c. Broad, contractor,
who brought the Maloney matter
before the board of works, today
stated that he was not attacking
the Maloney plan. but wanted to
bring up the question of the under
pay of employees by certain con-
tractors. 1T is not Maloney we
are after, as we can bid against
him as we'll as other contractors"
Mr.. Broad said.
Despite such assertions it is said
that Maloney's scheme has worried
contractors who have been cut out
of their former fat profits on city
work by Maloney forcing them to
bid against him.
The federal union has been fire.
Quently underbid, but there prob
ably was not as much profit in the
job as the taxpayers saved through
the union OppOsition.

WHY CURTIS
ESCAPED

the minimum sentence on Banker
Curtis and ssupending it today the
judge said:
"The recommendation of a par.
ticularly painstaking and intelli-
gent jury and the district attorney
incline the court toward clemency.
The court does not believe it was
the intention Of defendant, Curtis,
to engage in illegal transactions.
In the opinion of jury and court he
embarked upon a wrong course,
and when he found himself in
volved did not have strength to
stop. His personal honesty has
never been assailed.
81 believe in it, and am advised
outside the record that he has I'M
dergon4 financial ruin besides dis
grace of conviction.
in the case of Morse nothing
need be said or added to the evil
dence. He used the bank for his
larger general scheme, and de-
positors' money for his own specu-
lation purposes. If such schemes
do not entail severe punishment
and are allowed to be carried out
with immunity, the public will be
at the mercy of bank Adventures"

PUT IN PLENTY
Of TIME

Some of the members Of the
election boards employed Tuesday
resent the charge that the making
of the returns was delayed in some
precincts in order to fatten the
bill of the election officials against
the county. Every eight hours put
in by the election boards consti-
tuted a days work and enough
hours were put in by some of the
boards to constitute an ordinary
weeks work of eight hours per
day for six days.
The claim is further made that
the election officials at the general
election took as much time as the
boards that received the vote at
the primaries, whereas there was
not near as much work in compil-
ing the election returns as in the
primary returns.
Election officials both at the
primary and at the election say
that there was fully as much work
in assembling the returns of the
election as there was in gathering
the primary returns. They claim
that most instances the returns
were completed as rapidly as pos
sible and that there was no undue
delay, as rule.
Yet in spite of this statement the
fact remains that many country
precincts were counted, the re-
turns brought to Spokane by mes
senger and published in the news
papers before some city precincts
of the same size had finished their
report.

A new ordinance to regulate con-
tractors who bid on city work on a
basis of $2.75 day and then pay
less will probably be introduced
into the city council Tuesday night.
Under the present ordinance the
fine is any sum under 500. 1t is
proposed to limit the fine to $25
and Imprisonment. 1t is believed
that with an Imprisonment clause,
the ordinance will be effective. 1t
will also provide that books of con-
tractors must be exhibited on de-
mand.
The attack on Thomas Maloney,
federal union contractor, yesterday
before the board of works, was not
so much against Maloney's cooper
alive scheme of taking contracts,
as it was protest against paying
less than the city scale. Maloney's
men are paid according to what is
made on the jobs, and in the event
that more than the scale is made,
the men are paid accordingly. Mr..

HERE'S HOW.

ONCE show that Taft carried Spo-
kane county by sos. The presiden-
tial vote gives Taft 1871. Bryan
6502. Debs 1861, Chain 374, with a
few scattering votes for Hisgen.
Poindexter's plurality over Good
year is in excess of Taft's, being
6,172. Cosgrove for governor car
ried the county by 4719. The rest
a the state ticket runs along with
Cosgrove.
On the county ticket Phillips for
commissioner leads all others with
a majority over Pittam of 1913.

down to a majority of $500 by his
hustling competitor, Stone. Atkin-
son was elected clerk over Clement

auditor beat Isham by 572S. Stew
art for treasurer won by 4S14 over
Martin. Pugh for prosecuting at

s. c. WILSON, PETER NELSON
AND T. e. MiCHElS IN FIELD
FOR FIFTH WARD COUNCIL.
MANIC HONORS.

The contest for councilman from
the Fifth ward to succeed ]. S.
Phillips, who was elected county
commissioner Tuesday, is now on.
There are three candidates active
ly in the field, S. c. Wilson, Peter
Nelson and F. E. Michaels. 1t is
generally understood that the
recommendation of Phillips sue.
cessor lays with the other Fifth
ward councilmai, B. r. Ostrander.
Mr. Ostrander has carefully
avoided expressing any preference
in the matter, stating that he will
make the recommendation that the
greatest number of people want.
Acting on this assurance, the vari-
Gus contestants are out with petit
tons in an effort to secure as
many signatures as possible.
Petitions in behalf of Wilson
were circulated at the polling
places in the upper end of the
ward at the election and were
signed by hundreds. Petitions with
numerous signatures in behalf of
Nelson are also in circulation. Will
son is endorsed by the improve
ment clubs in the upper end of the
ward, while Nelson is the favorite
of the progressive element on
North Division street and in tho
central portion of the ward.
Councilman Phillips stated some
time ago that if successful in his
race for county commissioner he
would resign Immediately after the
election.

EMPLOYMENT MAN
DISPUTES CHARGE

Editor The Press: In your issue
of last night there was an article
rejecting on us. Ed Mullins claims
he was sent to Vollmer, Ida, as
second cook, and did not get the
position he was hired for. l want
to state that If Mullins says he
came back to this office and de-
manded his fee he Is telling de-
liberate lie, as there has been no
claim made on us by Mullins or
any other man for refund on this
work. We are not in the habit of
settling our complaints through the
police court. No man with just
complaint is ever refused a settle
ment in this Office, as any one can
see by consulting the papers on
file in our office.
We are only human and are
bound to make mistakes, but no
man has ever been sent out of this
Office on any kind of work without
direct order for such men from the
employment. We do not manufac-
ture jobs in this Office. Sometimes
things go wrong on the other end,
and when man comes back with
grievance all he has to do is to
come and see us. No man with just
complaint has been refused set
tlement in this Office during the 10
years we have been In business. If
Mullins has any claim against this
Office, he would probably learn that
there are employment offices that
are doing fair and legitimate
business and are not in the graft
ing business had he come to us.
If any doubling persons believe
we are soulless | can show them
where we have sent over 100 men
out on railroad work this year
absolutely without any fee what
ever. There is hardly a day but
what we send out from FIVE to six
men that are absolutely broke to
places where they can find employ
ment. G. w. Renard

SUFFERER FINALLY
TAKEN CARE OF

Albert Rula, the friendless Eng
lishman who has been suffering
for three days in the police emer-
gency hospital, was today sent to
the county poorfarm by the COM
missioners.
He is in the early stages of con-
sumption and would have been
turned into the street had not the
police taken him in, as under pres
ent arrangements there is no pro-
vision for providing for county
care in such cases until the COM
missioners meet.
At least the county physician is
either powerless or unwilling to
act in emergencies. His admins
tration of the Office is the source of
constantly increasing censure.
