HIbERNIANS

PORTLAND, July 20.-With the
election of officers scheduled for
the latter part of the week, dele
gates to the national convention of
the Ancient Order of Hibernians,
in session here today. are enthusi-
astically boosting their various
candidates. Presidential booms for
four prominent members OF the or
der have been launched already.
and before the elections It is ex-
pected that sevsral dark horses
will have come to the front.
According to the political gos-
sip among the delegates, the race
probably will center between Pres
ident Cummings of Boston, who, II
is said, is n candidate for re-elec-
tion. and Vice-President James ].
Regan, who has the solid backing
of Wisconsin. his home state.
II Is understood that NJ. G. Ro-
han. president of the Marquette
university of Milwaukee, and Jo-
seph Mclaughlin of Philadelphia
may announce their candidacy for
the presidency.
iJames A. McGinnis OF Scranton,
Pa, will doubtless be rejected to
the office of national secretary, as
no one is in the field against him.

PEOPLE DEMAND A
UNIVERSAL TRANSFER

Corporation Counsel F. D. Morrill, supposed to be
sderng the legality of the universal transfer system
turned over to him by the council. -
The universal transfer system should be enforced the
first blessed moment possible.
Spokane gave two immensely valuable franchises to
two separate corporations for next to nothing Both Of
these companies must be making very fat and juicy profits
according the forced increases in service and the
ber of long suffering strap hangers.
Granting for arguments sake that these corporations
had the right to get the franchises for penny and
that they are doing the common people an nestimabe
amount of good by hauling them down town and back
home the said certainly have right to ride street
from end of town to the other for nickel five
pennies The people should be forced to recognize
companies They public service corporations, and
both are beneficiaries of the public.
Admitting that both derive their right to operate from
source they should not be allowed to charge this said
source two prices for one trip the more than
they charge two fares for transfer within their lines
If this universal transfer proposition is not conceded
now organized labor will take up the fight for it and in
addition will campaign for 'no seat fare" PROPOSE
ton Public service corporations should be made to carry
the public Free they can't provide seats for them That
would be the least they could do in return for the prncey
franchises thrown into their laps.

IN STATE
POLITICS.
Clause in Primary Law Was
Observation-Disclosures
to Poindexter.

County Auditor r. w. Dutler, on
the advice Of Prosecutor Puoh, to-
day held that there must BE- . first
and second choice vote for United
States senator in the primaries Sep
tembsr IS. This clause Of the pri-
mary law, heretofore overlooked Ii
the state at large, injeets new and
uncertain element into the senator
IaI fight. Two ysars asothsrs were
but three candidates for United
States senator and but one vote Wae
accorded each eiector.
The primary law says that when
four or more men aspire for con-
gressional nominations. which ID
held to mean the senate and the
house under the definition of the
term laid down by Webster, there
shall be first and second choice
votes accorded the electors. Auditcp
Butler, who is preparing to print
the official ballots for Spokane
county, will get the republican prie
mary ballot out with first and Sec
ond choice columns In the senator
ial race.
GOOD FOR PoINoExTER.
This ruling Of the county auditor
is looked upon as decided advan.
tage to Poindexter. It gives the
west side electors. who prefer to up
hold favorite son, q chance to
vote for the fighting insurgent from
across the mountains. 1t also gives
the workingmen Of Spokane 3
chance to support Humphries and
at the same time put In one for
POindexter.
This is the first time the ruling
as to first and second choice votes
in the senatorial fight has been
sprung in the state. The same rule
holds good in the race for congress-
man, each voter having first and
second choice.

Pattel the Fowls Now.

Poultry should be fattened
quickly to be tender and juicy. II
the fowls are kept in good condi-
ton during the summer and early
fall. ten days or two weeks of
liberal feeding should put them in
excellent condition for marketing.
After they have commenced to
fatten give them all they can eat
four times a day. Turkeys ought
not TO be confined for any length
time. If fed literally while they
have a free run they can be put in
condition for marketing within ten
days. This is the time Of year
when the flock should be culled
closely. The undesirable fowls
will bring better prices now than
ever, and If kept throughout the
winter will only be an expense and
a detriment. TO the rest of the
