FIGHT FOR MEAD ON HERE

All the candidates for governor
have visited Spokane, claimed the
city and county solid and left work
ing organizations behind except
Gov. Mead. The governor has
made little active effort so far in
his own behalf, believing that the
people know his record in Office, on
which he intends to rely for re-
election.
But there is to be some stirring
in the Mead camps beginning to-
morrow, when the governor ar
rives here preparatory to address
ing the labor carnival Thursday
evening at Natatorium park at 8
O'Clock. l.. P. Hornberger, who
has been selected to handle the gov
ernor's campaign. returned from
the coast today to make the neces-
sary arrangements for combating
the anti-Mead forces here. He says
that the governors prospects on
the coast are strong and growing
stronger, and that Spokane is now
the only point about which there
is doubt. The governor has a num-
Der of influential friends here who
are anxious to see the fight started.
Mayor Moore is expected to do
the Introductory honors at the car
nival and the committee is en-
deavoring to secure both the sena-
torial candidates and prospective
congressman for the same even
ing.

INDUSTRIAL WORKER
IN THE DUNGEON ON
BREAD AND WATER

Police Chief Rice goes on the
principle that a man shall earn his
bread by the sweat of his brow
sometimes. But 1t hasn't worked
out as figured in the case Of James
Wilson, secretary Of the Industrial
Workers of the World, who yester-
day was fined $40 and costs by
Justice Hyde for saying things
about Ed Miller, an employment
agent, at a street meeting.
Wilson refused to pay his fine,
claiming he was unjustly dealt
with. Chief Rice ordered him put
into Jail and to work on the rock
pile with other prisoners. This
last Wilson positively refused to do.
Hale him away to the dungeon
and let him be fed on bread and
water" were the chiefs orders.
So Wilson is now subsisting on
the homely feed Of bread and
water.
There will be a meeting of the In
dustrial Workers In their hall on
Big island tonight, when Wilson's
case will be taken up. II is planned
to engage an attorney and chal.
lenge Chief Rice's arbitrary orders.

campaign was formally launched BY
meeting to which the employees
were invited by the company-it
was an invitation to be accepted
at which one Of the Great Northern
attorneys harangued the employees
on the necessity of restricting the
railroad commission.
Evidently the railroads are plan
ming to abolish the commission en-
tirely. The men were assured that
If the commission continued in
power the company would be COM
PEELED to cut down the train serv-
ice, which would mean that lot
of men would be thrown out Of
work.
The railroads, or the Great
Northern, have fashioned a big
stick of their own and are swing
ing it where it hits hardest-a
family's bread and butter.
In the Second legislative district
there are nine candidates for the
house. The Great Northern prob
ably employs 1000 men at Hill
yard. II half of these men sign and
keep the agreements to vote for
whoever the company tells them to
the company will nominate its men
for the legislature.
In effect the course adopted by
the company is identical with the
old method of having no Official
ballot, the employe taking a ticket
marked by his boss and voting it
with no more consciousness OF
what he was doing than cattle
would have.
Who the Great Northern favors
, for the legislature is so far care
fully hidden, even from the men
who have been given copies of the
agreement. There are two railroad
employees il. the legislative race.
They are Jesse Huxtable, con-
ductor and candidate for the state
senate from the Third senatorial
district embracing Hillyard, and
Harry Jones, locomotive engineer,
candidate for the house from the
same territory.
The man who Is credited with
circulating the agreements is ]. J..
Fitzgerald, chief clerk to the master
! mechanic.

SHERMANH HEARS
ABOUT It

UTICA, N. Y, Aug. 18.-James
Sherman was formally notified by
Sen Burrow at IL: 80 today of his
nomination as the republican can
didate for the vice presidency. In
speech of acceptance Sherman
declared his support OF every state
ment made by Taft.
The celebration began at this
morning with the firing of 10 guns
in salute. The city was crowded
and $4,000 were used in the cele-
bration. A long parade was the
big feature. When Sherman's resi-
dence was reached the applause
was deafening. Secretary Root
made brief speech. Sherman
said:
81 especially commend the plank
promising tariff revision and the
pledge will be fulfilled. Democratic
brethren whose memories are as
short as their promises are frail,
who, unmindful Of the distress of
the arriving and departing OF the
last democratic administration, de-
clare in their platform they favor
such immediate revision of sched-
ules as may be necessary to restore
the tariff to revenue basis, tar
III for revenue only, and ultimate
free trade. All have an Identical
meaning and that meaning Is an
assault upon American industries.
Republicans believe in granting la
boris every request that does not
seek to accord right to one man
denied to another. AS a nation our
duty compels that every constitu-
tional means be taken to advance
the colored race. We believe In
the maintenance of such an army

Americans and their interests.

NEW YORK, Aug. 18.-Sensa-

case of Capt. Peter Haines, who
killed William Annis Saturday. The
military post at Fort Hamilton is
shivering, fearing impending ex-
posures. The Annis killing was ex-

prominent officer said:

GREAT NORTHERN IS C0ERC|NC
ITS employees. PRIMARY VOTE
Agreements to Support Company's
Choice Circulated in Shops.

1t has been frequently asserted
that under the direct primary the
railroads would make no attempt
to rule politics as they have in the
past through the convention sys-
tenn.
The railroads have doubtless
been entirely willing that this i'm
preston should become general. IN
the meantime they have been busy
influence, that of coercing the in
dividual vote of their employees.
At elast instances in proof Of
this are cited In the case of the
Great Northern at Hillyard and 1t
is not likely that other roads with
political irons in the fire and po-
litical irons constitute an important
part of railroad equipment now
adays, are less guilty.
The Great Northern is attempting
to subvert the entire spirit of the
direct primary by probably the
boldest move yet made.
Forms of agreements have been
rendered men employed in the
Hillyard carshops binding the en-
ploye to support the candidates the
railroads favor. They are not told
that their jobs depend upon their
signatures, but this impression is
nevertheless conveyed.
The railroad does not state what
candidates it wants the men to
support They are informed that
this will be told them later. The
company will pick out its ticket
when it is satisfied that the men
selected are certain to obey orders
and will then tell it's employees who
to vote for.
If the word of men employed in
the shops is to be believed this sort
of thing is actually happening right
here, next door to Spokane, in the
state of Washington, U. S. A.
The facts have been ascertained
by J. Ora Bailey, republican can
didate for representative in the
Second district. He learned then
in a canvass he made in Hillyart
and has revealed them to The
Press in a communication protest
ing against a proceeding SO unfair
and un-American like.
