POLITICS, SAYS DE KAY
Military Secretary Believes It's
a Plot to Ruin Dix'S Presi-
dental Chances.

According to Major Eckford c. De
Kay. Military Secretary TO Gov. Dix, the
Federal Indictment at Cleveland. o., OF
Winfield Huppuoh. the Governors busi-
ness partner and Chairman OF the Demo-
cratic State Committee and also Public
Service Commissioner, was prompted by
political motives. the object OF the poll
ticdsns involved being to embarrass Gov.
Dix's chances of obtaining the Presidcn-
tial nomination.
In fairness to Gov. Dix II must be
prompted or Endorsed this view of the
indictment Of Mr.. Huppuch and others
connected with the Standard Wall Paper
Company for conspiracy In restraint OF
trade under the Antitrust law. The
Governor. who is stopping at the Wall
Aorf Astoria, gave out the following
statement at noon:
Il do not care to attribute any pos
sSfble political motive as being be-
hind the action brought against Mr..
Huppush. l look upon this action
- persecution. rather than prosecu-
ton, inaugurated by one Frank Hall
for purely selfish personal reasons.
II shall use my influence with all
concerned 70 urge for Mr.. Huppuch
a. speedy a trial as possible.

% as a member of the Public Ser

MILITARY SECRETARY HAS A
WHOLE LOT TO SAY ABOUT IT.

After making public his statement the
Governor left the hotel with his wife.
Then there appeared upon tho scene
Major Bedford c. De Kay. and he was
prim0d with language. The Major Is
Qulte a young mar and very busy. being
masch addicted to the wearing Of uni
forms.
II appeared TO the Major that ne
should explain why Gov. Dix and Mrs.
DIE and himself are in New York. The
explanation is that they are fixing the
lsechsn Of the Executive Mansion In
Albany.
While the kitchen Is being nxed no
cooking can be done. II no cooking
can be done the Governor and his fam
ily cannot eat. Therefore they came
20 New York and put UP at the Wall
dorf-Astoria, where there are many
kitchens.
Just now" said Major De Kay. "the
Governor is out buying some socks.
His wife is with him, and they intend
TO do quite a lot OF shopping.
Now as TO this indictment against
Mr.. Huppuch. or course 1t is signia-
cant to any one in view Of the posi-
billty tina Gov. Dix will be the choice
OF his party for the Presidential NOM
nation.
Gov. Dix and Mr.. Huppuch are good
Democrats. The United States Dis.
trict-Attorney at Cleveland Is a good
Republican. While the Governor has
been spoken OF in connection with the
Democratic nomination, he is not anx-
ious for the honor. We have no de-

season by the Kennewick football
team was not in evidence at the
game played here last Friday after
noon, in which the visitors cleaned
the board by score of eleven to
five. From all reports the score
should have been five to nothing in
the visitors favor, as the touch
down made ty Kennewick and one
made by Grandview were made by
the terrific plunges of the wind,
mostly. At least, the wind was
quite t" blame for the score made
by the Kennewick bunch, carrying
the ball clear over the line from the
kickoff, and one Of the lads follow
ing its flight fell on it after it had
crossed the line. There was some
squabbling over the legality of the
score but the referee allowed it.

DECIDE TONIGHT ON
MUNICIPAL PLANT
City Council Delays Action to Grant
Meeting with Manager David
son of p. p. & l.. Co.

Nothing, really, was accomplished
at the last meeting of the city coun-
Gil, which adjourned to meet with
the general manager Of the Pacific
Power & Light company, tonight.
An ordinance was given its third
reading raising the quarterly licenses
of theatres and public halls to $25.
A couple of perfectly good hours
were wasted on discussing the
methods of making the assessments
of the cement sidewalks, after the
city attorney had offered an opinion.
No conclusion was reached.
On motion by Rudkin, it was de-
cided to confer with H. Day Han
ford with reference to hiring an en-
gineer for the construction of the
sewer. Motion seconded by coun-
Gilman Wright.
At the meeting tonight, it is ex-
pected that the differences with the
Pacific Power & Light company will
be settled, but there are one or two
members of the board who are not
in favor of toadying to that corpor-
alton the least bit.
