SENATORIAL FIGHT

means the enactment into law Of
such proposed reform two years
earlier than it could be done
through the initiative and referen-
dun.
\ One of the first offices that will
receive the attention of the Major
ity league will be that of United
States senaor. There are two can
didates mentioned for United
States senator satisfactory to those
already identified with the popular
government movement. These men
are Judge HUMPHREYS of Seattle
and Congressman PoindeXter of
Spokane. Both of these men have
been solicited to unite with the
Majority Ruel league and submit
their candidacy to it for endorse
ment. BY the whole of the reform
elemnt in the state uniting on
either Poindexter or Humpries it is
believed that success of such candi-
date in the primaries is assured.
Arrangements are now being
made to launch a branch of the
league in Spokane county. w. Fl.
Kaufman of Bellingham is secre-
tary of the state organization.

A FOREMAN MAKES CHARGES

built, and to satisfy my mind

and from there to Crestline. |
found the bottom of the sewer run
ming up and down like an ocean
wave or a camel's back, and this
accounts for the congestion of
refuse from the Stanton packing

and the terrible odor exuding there

THE condition of the sewer bed
was called to the attention of the

THE first dose they handed me
was on the acceptance of the Allan

without extra compensation on the
claim that my men had changed the
stakes. 1t was clearly the error
of the engineers office, but we
were made to pocket the loss.
On the Eighth avenue sewer,
Mr.. Maloney first placed me in
charge. but learned that on my ac-
count the engineers would not give
the points. Maloney then gave

and placed me at the head of the

Organization of Majority
Rule League in
Spokane.

In the new but rapidly growing
organization known as the Majority
Rule league, otherwise called the
Popular Government league the
people of Washington may see a
power that VIII wrest from the con.
troll of the railroads and other large
interests the election of United
Staes senators, congressman, state
officials and judges of the supreme
court.
The Maioritl Rule league is
strong in Whatcom county. where
it has already elected some of the
county officials. The plan of the
league is to endorse candidates in
the dominant parties, and in state
matters in Washington of course it
will work to control nominations
within the republican party. Men
prominent in the labor movement
in the stac and those active in
grange work among the farmers
and members Of the farmers union
are being solicited to affiliate with
the new movement.
Among the planks advocated will
be the right of recall, state wide
prohibition, popular election OF
United Staes senators and in fact
any reform that five per cent of
the mebers of the league petition
for. The idea is that when petit
ton signed by five per cent of the
members of the league Is pre-
sented that the league will try to
commit the various candidates for
the legislature to vote to submit a
constitutional amendment provid-
ing for such reform to the people
for their approval. If the constitu-
tional amendment, is adopted 1t
