tice Polygamy.
Hamilton Smith. priest Of the Nor
mon church. who participated in the
close of a sale of $4,000 acres of land
for the Mormons in the state of Goa
hula, Mexico, Is authority for the
statement that President Diaz has as
sured the church that polygamy and
all other practices Of the church will
be permitted without interference in
Mexico.
DR.. Smith also states that his peo-
pie will abandon Utah in the not far
distant future and settle in Mexico,
where they will not be prosecuted for
their religion and its practices. He
declares the United States has gone
out Of its way in passing unreasonable
and unjust laws to deprive the Nor

A HELPING HAND.

A Helping Hand Is Gladly Extended by q
Princeton Citizen.
There are many enthusiastic citizens
in Princeton prepared to tell their ex-
perience, and will prove "helping
hand" to scores of readers. Read the
following statement:
Mrs. Mary J. Chute, Princeton,
Mimi, says: ''About three years ago
Doan's Kidney Pills cured me of a
long-standing case of kidney trouble
and that cure proved permanent until
about year ago. At that time I met
with an accident and my kidneys be-
came disordered. My back began to
pain me severely and the least sudden
movement caused sharp twinges to
dart through my loins. My head
ached great deal and I often
suffered from dizzy spells. The kid
ney secretions we're irregular in pas
sage and this weakness was a source
of great annoyance. At times I was
in so serious condition that could
hardly get around, and in spite Of the
many remedies I tried, failed to get
any better. At last Doan's Kidney
Pills were brought to my attention
and I procured a box. They gave
me relief and am very thankful to
them.''

HIRAM ". JOHNSON SUCCESSFUL SON, AND

case of tie vote the two candidates
shall draw lots, and foxy old Grove
was on hand for the drawing. but a
recount shattered the dream. If he
should chance to be elected as a Pro-
hibitionist and his son becomes gov
ernor there would probably be an in
teresting aftermath to this political
family feud.
For example, we can imagine Gov
ernor johnson recommending a law to
clip the wings Of the Southern Pa
cifc and Legislator Johnson fighting it
tooth and nail. To prevent such con-
tingency we can be sure that the Hiram
Johnson forces will leave no stone IN
turned to keep foxy old Grove out
Of the legislature. 1t looks like an
other case Of ''too much Johnson" so
one Of the Johnsons has to be elim1-
mated, and the old man seems to be the
goat. The prodigal son is reversed.
Here it is the prodigal dad that is feed

Of returning to his sons house, and
there are no indications that he would
be welcomed with veal barbecue If
he did return.
California Surprises Many.
The 1nsurgent sweep In California
was an eye opener to the country, as
was that in Kansas and elsewhere.
While the revolt on the coast did not
result from the same causes as that
farther east, it exhibited the same gen.
eral trend. It carried through not only
the Lincoln-Roosevelt league state
ticket, but two candidates for con-
gress.
In the popular or advisory vote for
United States senator the result was
uncomfortably close between John D.
Works, the insurgent candidate, and
A. G. Spalding, the former baseball
pitcher and manufacturer Of athletic
goods. The result on senatorship was
complicated by the fact that the man

MAJ" Appears unrepentant.

he became corporation counsel for the
town, and his father went back to the
legislature.
The mayor Of Sacramento at that
time was George Clark. At the end OF
his first term the machine turned down
Clark. and he ran Independently and
was elected. Hiram Johnson had not
little to do with his victory. Then
he induced Clark to become an indie
pendent candidate in the state and
made a fight for him along lines SINH
lar to those on which he himself con-
Quoted his fight for governor in the re-
cent campaign. Clark was disastrous
~ defeated, however, and Hiram John
son resigned his job and went to San
Francisco.
There was at this time another
brother, Albert. The. two went into
the practice Of law together, but Al
bert died not long after the firm was
organized. He was known as a bril-
liant man and was even more radical
in his political opinions and hence
more at variance with their father
than Hiram himself.
When Father Meets Son.
One Of the peculiar features Of the
present situation is that, while Grove
L. Johnson failed to get the Repub-
lican nomination for the legislature, he
did get the Prohibition nomination, re-
celving one vote AS there were no
Prohibition candidates this entities
him to the nomination under the law.
BE says he will take it and make the
fight. He also thought he had receiv-
ed twenty-eight votes in the Democrat
ic column, thus tying his opponent.

Fight on Southern Pacific.

While johnson will lose conservative
Republicans, it is also probable that
he will gain progressive Democrats.
No Intelligent forecast can be made
Of the result, however, without con-
sidering the chief factor in California
politics. That factor is the Southern
Pacific railroad. For years the South
ern Pacific has ruled California. John
son and his followers proclaim that
they are going to drive it out of state
politics, just as Theodore Roosevelt
promises to drive all special interests
out Of national politics. This will
necessarily force a realignment Of par
ties.
How many votes can the Southern
Pacific swing in a straightout fight if
it attempts to oppose Johnson in the
coming election? Should it take an
open stand will it not drive more to
him than it draws from him? These
are questions that only election day
can answer. Yet on them depend the
fate Of the canvass and to a consid-
cradle degree the trend Of future poll
tics in California. If Johnson wins
and carries out his pledge to end
Southern Pacific domination it will
mean practical revolution Of politics
in the state.
California has been Republican for
many years, Taft having carried it by
$1,000 out Of total vote Of less than
100000 and Roosevelt having had
plurality Of 1882 out of total vote
of less than 100000. The claim Of
Johnson's friends is that the Roosevelt
following is with them in this fight
Hiram w. Johnson is not unlike
Roosevelt, although a younger man.
He is almost as vigorous campaigner.
having covered 10000 miles in the re-
cent primary struggle. He likewise
cleaned up Sacramento, as Roosevelt
in years before had cleaned up New
York city. The California insurgent
leader is not afraid to speak out. His
prosecution of graft and bossism in
San Francisco and his excoriation Of
President Taft showed that. He bold
ly likens the present struggle in Amer
lea to the conflict against privilege in
the French revolution.
AS to the other Johnson, 1T may be
that there is paternal pride lurking
away back in the corners of his heart
over the triumphs Of his son, but If so
he makes no sign. Seemingly he is
unrepentant and determined to be a
prodigal dad to the end. Political
husks are not satisfying or filling
diet. and even these are growing
scarce.

osophical colony. He is the man who
took the all America ball teams
around the world One Of his pitchers
in that tour was John K. Tener, now
Republican candidate for governor Of
Pennsylvania. The insurgents claim
that they will have a working ma
jority in the legislature, and this may
affect the senatorial situation.
Latest advices are that both Works
and Spalding claim the primary in
dorsement. Works having received the
largest vote in the state, but Spalding
carrying majority Of the legislative
districts.
The fight on governor is likewise
complicated by the doubt as to how
the regulars will vote in the Novem-
Der election. They assert that Hiram
Johnson affronted President Taft. and
some of them may vote against him
on this score. The Democratic can.
didate is Theodore A. Bell, who was
temporary chairman of the national
convention at Denver.
At the last gubernatorial election in
1906 Bell was also the candidate and
came within 5000 votes of beating
Gillett. Bell is a lawyer at Napa and
was for one term member Of con-
gress. This year he was the unani-
nous nominee for governor in the
Democratic primaries. Will enough of
the regular Republicans swing to Bell
to give him the election? That is now
the chief question in California poll

LABOR COMMITTEE WAS
ACTING ON INSTRUCTIONS

Regarding the frequent asser-
tons that the committee of fifteen
in its campaign was not represent
ing organized labor and that some
of the members exceeded their
authority. The Press gives below
Nthe real truth about this cam
naign; it is official and exact and
is given to make it useless for any
further fancy lying to be done by
political organs seeking to bolster
up a crooked official clique
On February % the Central La
Dor council voted to demand in
creased wages for city laborers
and three police matrons. The
council also instructed the presi-
dent to appoint committee Of
fifteen to have full charge of the
campaign. to present labors de-
mands to the council and to get up
a demonstration on March 8. The
chairman appointed the following
committee: w. Horn, w. j.
Coates, Byron Vickerage, Fred
Cardamone, J. W. Crimson, J. c..
Gordon, w. J. Sullivan, w. A.
Cliff, Thomas Iyey, w. R. Owen,
Robert Ronald, H. l.. Hughes, D..
c. Coates, A. w. Swenson and H.
A. Jarvis.
That same evening this commit
tee met and chose d. c. Coates as
chairman, he being absent at the
time. The committee also author
lied him to present laborS de-
mands to the city council, which
was done on that night of March
8, when he was elected by two de-
tectives at the request of the
president of the council.
But before, on the night before
March s, the committee reported
back to the labor council and re-
ceived not only its unanimous ap-
proval of the campaign as begun,
but instructions to go ahead and
do exactly what was done, even to
selecting the street speakers.
Then, on March IA, the commit
tee reported to the central council
again, and that body unanimously
ordered the committee to go ahead
and demand of the council an in
vestigating committee of seven
for the Jail probing and three po-
lice matrons, and these demands
also were presented by the COM
mittee to the council per instruc-
ton.
Finally, last night the council
placed for the fourth time its in
dorsement of every act of the COM
mittee and of it's chairman, thus
settling the various false reports
that had been maliciously circu-
lated by almost all labor leaders
working for the city administra-
ton.
At no time since the campaign
began on the city hall has any
member of the committee of fiji
teen acted without the full knowl-
edge and authorization of the en-

LADY RAFFLES

sobriquet earned in her connec-
ton with the burglary of the G. F.
Jackson residence out on Bridge
port avenue, March 4, was SEN
fenced to an indeterminate term of
six months to Is years in the peni-
tertiary this morning. Confronted
by the imposing lot of evidence the
police and state had piled up
against her, Gladys Leslie, a
woman of considerable beauty,
broke down in tears, and pleaded
guilty to a charge of concealing
stolen property.
The woman claims to be an artist
and by some is said to be possessed
of more than ordinary talent. Her
associations here in Spokane are
declared to have been generally
with questionable element.
Charles Barnett and George Fisher,
arrested with the woman. are to be
tried on a charge of burglary in the
near future.

by cheaper cotton goods as he was
to save the steel trust by dumping
raw materials into the mills at re-
duced cost he would have en-
shrined his name in the hearts of

He might have won the plaudits

which will sever Mr.. Malony's con-
nection with organized labor. Ma
lony is another one whom the city
fathers have been depending to
play the political game and to rend
wide open the ranks of labor. About
the only thing likely to be rended
is Mr.. Mallory.
The disposition of every delegate,
with the exception of two who had
been induced to come to the rescue
of McElvoy, was to stand by the
committee of Is, to stand for a
prosecution of the Jail investigation,
and to stick to the demand for three
police matrons. There was no
sign of split or of a disagreement,
and from now on some erstwhile
labor leaders will probably keep
still, or else they will have the same
sad news conveyed to them that
was conveyed to McElvoy and Ma.
