Otto A. Case, auditor of King county, is candidate
for the oubernatora nomination and of course will have
some little political strength but by no means enough
votes to come within tenme stretch of the nominating
gate Case was twice elected county clerk and once
county auditor of King county, and at each election
showed he less popular with the voters, but
his success sweed his head and he has developed into
political nuisance If he steps out OF the race for auditor

line to step down and out of politics, which he richly
deserves

FRIDAY March "a, 1911

Speaking about candidates for governor here
few of those who have already partially announced their
candidates.
Gov. NJ E. Hay, Spokane; Howard D. Taylor, Otto
A. Case and Robert T. Hodge, all of King county, and
Lee A. johnson, of Yakima county.
This under circumstances, constitute anything
like all of the asprants for the nomination, but it will
give the reader some idea of how things drifting in
that direction.
It will be observed that NJ E. Hay is already holding
down the position and he not leaving stone unturned
to succeed himself Aside from the patronage of his
office to strengthen up his political fences he is the ac
knowedged leader of the analoon forces of the state
and it is conceded by even liquor dealers that the state
seem bit inclined to the prohibition side of the house
just and with the women voting the Seattle cleo
tion is anv criterion in that direction it looks if Gov
Hay will get the almost unanimous woman vote lie is
well supported by leading newspapers of the state and
especially daily papers, Tt barely possible that he will
be warmly supported by the Spokesman Review he being
resident of Spokane and has always been less
in accord with the political policy of the Review. lie
will unless unforeseen break occurs, be supported
by the Perkins press and it is the concensus OF OPINION
that the Pos-ntegencer favorable to his candidacy
It must be- admitted that he has strong lineup and
will be a most formidable candidate
Howard D. Taylor speaker of the house of representa-
tves of the twelfth legislature rather reticenty
nounced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for
governor Just the legislative session was closing and 1t
was we'll received least by the members and the lobby
that were watching the body draw its last breath Taylor
is not exactly wet dry candidates, but ne Will
Get great many votes from both sides He will doubt
less receive the united lumbermens support, which will
nrove strong spoke in the political wheel He will be
without very much newspaper support unless comes
from the Times which both he and his political advisor
frankly admit would be like placing milestone about
his neck and throwing him into the with the admonish
ment swim to the shore County pride will not cut much
ice in his VOTE as there will be two other and perhaps
even more county candidates for the same nomination

add to his natural short comngs the load of favorng

of the state and it is safe to say under such crcum
stances he would be beaten four to one by Governor

w. R. White, of Olympia, has been named by Gov
Hay as highway commissioner to succeed H. L.
Bobby, whose TEEN has just expired, splendid sal
airy awaits Mr. White, but he will have little or moth
ing do draw his salary, as the legislature made
no provisions for the prosecution of the highway work
of the state But for two years he put in his time
studying conditions which may be very necessary,
but of course in case new governor is elected he
will be removed as has been Bobby on account of petty
desentions in the administration.
King Dykeman and Robert w. Prigmore have been
named by Governor Hay as judges for the two new
places created by the late lamented legislature and
they doubtless will assume their duties the bench
about April LIST. King Dykeman is one of the most
popular young attorneys in the city of Seattle ard his
appointment has been foreshadowed by almost every
one since it became established fact that the
places would be created He is president of the
Young Mems Republican Club of Seattle and has al
ways taken active interest IN the politics OF the
state and county.
Robert Prigmore was not looked upon in the outset
as formidable candidate for favor at the governors
hand in this particular but his stock took upward
bound and by last Saturday it seemed foregone
cuson that he, too would be appointed. 1t is said
that H. A. P Myers had the call for the appointment
had he have cared to accept it, but ne did to
divorce himself from his private practice for the honor
Prigmore is considered by those who have oppor-
tunity to judge him to be Of the safest and most
conservative attorneys in the city and possessing
splendid judicial mind. 1t is predicted that both of
the appointees will give splendid satisfaction and the
governor will never have cause regret his actions
COL George B. Lampng, who for number of
years. has been the domneerng spirit in the National
Guard of Washington, has withdrawn from the Guard
for all time to come and in withdrawing he the

regretted that the and all the rest of the Of

wake of Colonel Lamping.

Robert I. Hodge, who has been twice elected sheriff
of King county and showed great deal OF strength, Will
seek the nomination for governor He has nothing to
back his aspirations for the office his oversuppy
of ego He is man with fitness for Governor
than government mule. Bob is without educational
qualifications and totally lacking in common clvllty
among those he meets from time to time. Those who
voted for him for sheriff would think of voting
for him for governor than they would for president OF
the United States and yet if you would ask Bob OF his
fitness for president he would reply: Taft is mutton
head in comparison to the administration l would give
the country And he really believes that in being twice
elected sheriff Of King county he is in line to be nominated
and elected President of the United States.

tour of Inspection of street improve ments, both being carried on and con- templated. The Mayor after inspec- tfon of the Boston avenue improve ments, near the new bridge, will rec ommend that this street be made a state road and that Commissioner Macdonald be asked to use state mon- ey towards the construction of mac adam roadway on this avenue. Bos- ton avenue is the old Post road be- tween New York and Boston.
 The inspectors looked over the Arc tic street bridge where the filling has continually disappeared since the con- struction of the bridge. It is hoped that it has at least reached the bot tom.
 The north side of Congress street at the bridge will be open tomorrow. A portion of the sidewalk on the south side of the approach of the bridge has sunk, leaving a curb of about four inches. This will not affect the walk materially unless there is more de- pression. A dangerous condition was found at the entrance into the prop erty of the United Illuminating Co on the north side of the bridge approach, where there is step from walk to drive of from inches to a foot. It is understood ta result from an agree ment made by the Congress Street Bridge Commission with the company The director was instructed to look into the condition and report to the mayor, as an accident Is liable to oc- cur at any time.
 In company with Col. N H. Rogers, chairman of the Paving commission, an inspection was made of the Barnuni avenue paving which is being pushed rapidly, and also of the State street improvement.

DIRECTOR KENNY STARTS
 THE PATROL SYSTEM FOR MACADAM STREET REPAIRS

Carrying out the recomm sndation of Mayor Buckingham in his annual message, the installation of a "Pa- trol System" to continue the perfec- ton of macadan roads, Director of Public Works NJ. A. Kenny, starting next week, will send out several men. The duty of these men will be to fill in all depressions in macadam road as they appear, thus keeping the roads in constant repair if not in almost perfect condition. The work will be carried on as far as the appropriation will permit. The new system is only one of the many contemplated pro- gressive steps to be taken by the Buckingham administration.
 Mayor Buckingham stated today that work on the State street pavement would commence on Monday June 28, but would have started next Monday If the property owners, especially from Broad street to Park avenue had set their curbs, which had been moved back two feet on each side. The de- lay is up to the property owners and not to the city. Van Keuren & Son of Jersey City, the contractors are ready to rush the work to the limit. Any delay now will be result of slowness of property owners doing the work ordered The mayor made this statement today so that if owners on state street complained later about delays in the work, it could be seen that the responsibility would rest for the most part on those now holding up the work

 While the sum of s1,64S. S.699.S0. is snug little fortune and sufficient to keep the wolf away from the door of even so lavish an expender as Mrs. Lawrence, it does not represent the total of her wealth, which is rated at several times this amount
 The trial of Mrs. Lawrence's appeal in the Superior court will doubtless bring out many startling facts. if the trial which preceded it in the pro- bate court Is any criterion.
 While the Fairfield trial was in progress, her chief witness was Dr. Lawrence, nerve specialist, who was her constant companion every where. Attorney Daniel Davenport acting for Judge Banks, openly &C., cused Dr. Lawrence of being in 8 pact to marry Mrs. Curtiss, or of be- ing secretly married to her, and in- troduced evidence which he aimed to bear out his belief
 Dr. Lawrence indignantly refused to answer the questions. A few months later Judge Banks as con- servator notified pr. Lawrence that he was discharged from Mrs. Curtiss' service. Dr. Lawrence, nothing loath thereupon eloped with Mrs. Curtiss and they were welded in Jersey.

Medical Experts Are Numerous At
 Dr. DoWns' Trial
Former Head of State Med ical Association a Wit ness for the State Today.

With Dt. Francis Bacon of New Haven, former head of the Connecti- cut Medical association, and also a Yale Medical school, upon the stand as an expert witness. summone@ by the state, the trial of Dr. F. B. Downs and of Clayton l.. Wrisley for man. slaughter continued in the city court today.
 Practically the entire session was devoted to the examination and cross examination of Dr. Bacon as to his examination of certain vital organs or the dead woman. It developed through his cross examination that the defense may seek to establish that ember last, resulted from her own act, rather than from the act of a physician who may have been called following the actual occurrence that led to her death.
 Attorney Munger, of Ansonia, rep Sanfield of this city though not act ing in the case, is a daily attendant at the trial with the witnesses for the defence.
 Surrounding Attorney Homer S. Cummings of Stamford as consult dllLS, dIu pIODdUly ldtGT dS expert with esSes, are Drs. John c. Lynch, c. c. Godfrey, J. W. Wright and D. M. Trecartin. Coroner Mix of New Ha- ven county whose finding led to the arrest of Dr. Downs, is also a daily attendant
 The testimony of Dr. Bacon is re- garded as of much importance in es- tablishing the cause of the condition that led to the woman's death He was subjected to searching cross ex- aminat t1on which promises to prolong the trial for many days.
 Late yesterday, when Mrs Mary M French, mother of the late Mrs. Wris- ley, was called to the witness stand, she refused point blank to tell what her daughter had told her were her plans when she departed from Derby the time 1t is alleged she had the illegal operation performed which the state claims was the cause of her death
 Judge Booth counse1led the woman the situation, and asked the witness upon what ground she declined to an swer. She would not go into details but merely said that she had her reasons which were sufficient to convincs her that she should not enter into the matter.
 Prosecutor Redden explained that Mrs. French was an unwilling wit ness, and that her assumed attitude came from personal feeling rather than other motives
 Dr! Francis Bacon was on the stand as an expert when court ad- journed late yesterday until 9:3O this morning.

Governor Told
 Hyde He Thought
 Judson Bill Best
But Hyde Told House that Governor Said to Him
 Banks Bill Best

New Haven, June 17-During the discussion in the House of Represen- tatives on the public utilities reports. Representative Hyde of Canterbury. said that he had shown both the min- ority and the Banks bills to Gov. Bald win and the latter said the Banks bill was the better, but that he would prefer to see both bills referred back to the committee, as he preferred the commission bill.
 Gov. Baldwin was seen at his office in the White building today by a reporter and asked the following ques- tions:
 ''Did Representative Hyde of Can- terbury ask your opinion concerning the minority report on the public uti1- ities measure, and also on the Banks amendment?''
 He did replied Gov. Baldwin. '1 said to him and to others who also called on me to inquire my views, that I preferred the minority bill, which passed the Senate, to the ma jority bill, and also to the Banks or Davenport amendment. But in my judgment the so-called 1909 bill, re- ported by the special commission ap- pointed to consider the subject in 1907, is better than any of them.

His mother looked at him with sus- picion for a moment, then peered into his throat. She saw the end of d safety pin, almost out of sight, down the baby's throat.
 Fearful that the child would stran- gle,a she spread the alarm to neigh bors and they called the ambulance corps from the Emergency hospital. Dr. McQueeney responded.

 With much care to prevent lacera- tion of the infants throat. the sur geon deftly extracted the safety pin. Half the shaft was driven into the child's throat. The doctor left a soothing lotion for the inflamed throat, and took the safety pin to the Elmer gency hospital as a souvenir of the operation.
