IF | were SANTA CLAUS

If | were Santa Claus and he
were |,
I'd give him jes' lots of nice toys,
Four wagons, six popguus and ten
cars and tracks,
And a million things loved by
small boys,
I'd fill up his stocking with candy
and nuts
And mince pies anil pickles and
jam,
And a sled, bicycle and brindle
bull pup:
That's the kind of a kid that |
I'd give him pear of ball bearing
skates
And an airship and Il ship for
the sea.
I'd give all these to old Santa, if ]
were he:
Now, I wonder what he will give
me.

COUNCIL DOINes


The Council at its adjourned
meeting last Friday night trans
acted a big bunch of business, i'm
portant and routine. A. W. Temp
kin's petition for opening a short
street near his place was granted.
The police Judges report showed
light business and was approved
and the Marshals' report was like
wise accepted and placed on file.
On motion of Councilman Rich
ards for an extertion of the city
water main was ordered from the
hydrant near the St. Paul e. Tacoma
Lumber Yard down Columbia Ave-
nue. and west along the street run
ming north of the old school, build
ing joining the trunk main at the
Northeast corner of the old school
grounds. Pool room licenses were
granted to both the kennewick
Club and the Brunswick and the
latter was granted permission to
put up an electric sign in front of
their place to extend not more than
nine feet across the walk ard be
not less than twelve feet above the
level of the walk. POOL" are
the letters for the new sign which
is the second to be put up. The
Clerks tally sheets of the recent
city election were checked over and
the votes found to he as reported
last week. Attorneys hold that
there cannot be an actual recount
of the ballots without a contest is
! instituted.

MAY INDORSE GAYNOR
Hearst Organization Likely to Sup"
port Tammany Candidate.

There is strong probability that William r.
Hearst, head OF the Independence League, will an
nounce his support of Justice William J. Gaynor
within forty-eight hours An associate of Mr..
Hearst said last night that Mr.. Hearst would de-
clare his position in the mayoralty campaign at
once, and that he would oppose Mr. Barnard In
response to inquiries IL learned that neither
Mr.. Hearst nor Clarence ]. Shearn would run for
Mayor.
1t is understood that Mr. Hearst will send letter
Justice Gaynor soon, asking him to define his
attitude in the matter OF municipal construction
and ownership of subways. 1t is also understood
that Mr.. Gaynor will frame an answer that will
meet the Hearst requirements TO be followed by
the Hearst Endorsement OF the Tammany candidate.
IndOrsng Gaynor at this time Is about the most
unpalatable dose that the Independence League has
swallowed At the primaries Tammany Hall,
bringing 10 a consummation secret plans laid more
than year ago. stole control OF the Hearst con-
ventions n a majority of the Assembly districts
in New York County. This was done by Tammany
men who enrolled a year ago as Independence
Leaguers. voting for delegates of their own choos-
ing at the primaries.
Mr.. Hearst and his associates stnl Claim control
Of the Independence League City Convention, but
acknowledge the loss of control in New York
County. This leaves the organization in thor
orghly demoralized condition. The Independence
League City Convention to have been held on
Friday night, but postponed.
The only way that the Hearst people could make
considerable showing at the polls as "a third party
would be by the nomination of Mr. Hearst or Mr
Shearn for Mayor Mr. Hearst polIed 225,Ooo votes
four years ago But Mr.. Hearst is too much en-
crossed with business matters 70 permit his running
Tor Mayor, and Mr. Shearn declines TO be ever again
an ''also ran" in politics
The letter to Gaynor If followed by an answer
that is in harmony with the professed principles of
the Independence League, viii let the Hearst men
out. They can then go ahead with their city con-
Vention and nominate GaynOr for Mayor and pro-
hounced Hearst men for the other two places on the
city ticket This will preserve the organization and
emblem despite the Vaccinations of the Tanmany
kionappers who perhaps can be beaten at next
years primaries.
Ferhaps the main reason for the support Of Gay
nor by the Hearst men is the desire OF the leaders
OF that organization to get square" with State
chairman woodruff. The Hearst men blame MI
Woodrun Tor blocking fusion. Despite their pro-
Iessed hatred OF Senator McCarren and all that he
stands for, the Independence Leaguers IN K,ngs
County will lend hand in an effort to elect the
McCarren county and borough tickets I'm RrooLlvn
