Spends a Strenuous Day.

Mr.. Bryan began a strenuous day at
Charlottesville, Va, where he delivered
an address before boarding a train for
this city. When he reached Washington
he went to the Howard Theater, where he
addressed the colored Y. NJ. C. A.
The meeting at the Howard Theater is
said to have been the largest one
ever held under the auspices OF the col
Ored mems branch of the Y. NJ. c. A.
When Mr.. Bryan had been introduced
by Lewis +. Johnson, secretary of the
branch, and arose to speak the applause
was prolonged.
The Nebraskan exhorted the men to adj
here strictly to the Y. Nj. &. A. idea. He
stated that the heart should not be neg
Iected for the training of the mind: that
a strong body is essential to strong
heart and a strong mind. He said that
man had been able to measure the
breadth of a message in biography, but
that no man had been able to measure
the breadth of the message of friendship
and brotherly love which emanated from
the heart The Y. NJ. e. A, the speaker
said, affords a general training which
no other organization can give. 1t trains
the heart. the mind, the soul and the
physical body.
The Elks' Glee Clxb rendered several
selections.
DIR. Clarence F. Barbour of New York
international committeeman of the Y. NJ
c. A, followed Mr.. Byran.
Last evening he spoke at the First Pres
byterian Church on THE Fact of Christ
where the crowd was so great that he
was compelled to address an overflow au-
dience i'm the Sunday school room. After
these exercises he left for West Virginia
to fill an engagement today.

What a Man Earns.

"A man is rightfully entitled to just as
much as he honestly earns and when he
takes more he steals it. A man is right
fully entitled to just as much as his
services, fairly measured, are worth to
society,"
Mr. Bryan emphasized the statement
that the capacity of q man for real Serv
ice is fmitless. and that it is possible
for a man to have services of such value
as to be worth even $500, 100000 in life
time. He declared that Thomas Jefferson s
services to humanity were easily worth
rendered services to mankind worth
equally as much
Then the speaker turned his attention
to possessors of vast wealth. and said
they had been SO busy collecting it they
did not have time to earn it. He con-
demned lntemperance, corrupt politics,
dishonest newspapers. gambling and
other vices, and said it would be an easy
task to reform the wCrld were it not for
the fact that there are trained brains
behind every abuse.
Il believe the ministry is lax in preach
ing against evils said Mr.. Bryan. He
added that many parsons would rather
keep silent on certain subject than to
run the risk of losing their pulpits by
speaking forth bravely.

ALL FAWCETT AT
FERN HILL

Judging from indications at
the Fern Hill meeting last night,
that section of the city will go
Fawcett almost to man and
woman. A. r. Titlow and Loren
20 Dow addressed the meeting
and Mayor Fawcett's name was
eheered to the echo. 1t was
in this section that the mayor
made a fight against the street
car company and despite claims
of the Seymour faction that Fern
Hill would cast many votes for
their man, the people are solid
for Fawcett.
Seymour meetings which have
been held were tame as compared
with the Fern Hill turnout. 1t
was evident that had Fawcett de-
sired to enter into a campaign
for himself he could have packed
any hall in town throughout the
entire campaign.
But the Mayor was of the opin-
ion that his record in office being
known to the people the recall
election should be based on that
record.

Commissioner Lawson has COM

George P. Wright of this city

SEYMOUR DID
NOT ANSWER

Mr.. Seymour was asked the
following question by the Times,
days ago:
"Mr. Seymour, what would you
do as mayor If a man came to
you as you did to Mayor Wright
in connection with your gas COM
pany?"
Mr.. Seymour has refused to-
answer this question.
Seymour formerly owned the
gas company. When two man
who sought to enter the field be-
came dangerous, Seymour went
to Mayor Wright. The would-be
gas competitors were evaded for
the time being and Seymour had
time to leave for the east ana
complete deal which was salts
factory to him. Had the compe-
titors been allowed to enter, the
people of Tacoma would in all
probability having been paying
lower gas rates today.
Why has Mr.. Seymour not an
swered the question put to him
by the Times?

MOST
CONFIDENT

Should Mayor Fawcett be re-
turned victor in today's battle at
the polls, one of the most remark
able battles in the history of mu-
nicipal government will have been
achieved. Throughout the entire
campaign but one meeting was
called by Fawcett adherents, that
being the Fern Hill meeting of
last night.
So confident was Fawcett that
the people would regard his term
in office as the real issue, he
refused to encourage any of his
friends to take the stump for
him. Now that the ballots are
being cast, Fawcett is by all odds
the most confident man In town
today. At noon he asserted that
he would win by a majority Of
five thousand and he predicted
that Barth would probably lead
Seymour.

FAWCETT HE'LL
WIN BY 5000
Mayor Figures That Socialist Candidate Will Give
Seymour a Hard Race for Second Honors

Tacoma started to vote this
morning at the rate of one a min
ute in the recall election against
Mayor Fawcett.
In the North End where wealth
predominates the vote was evil
.dently for Seymour, with a good
showing for Fawcett and only an
occasional vote for Barth, the So
'cialist.
In the South End, where the
hand of labor rules and where the
heavy vote exists the ballots were
generally marked Fawcett, with a
healthy Barth vote and Seymour
strong and weak in spots.
At IL O'Clock the vote showed
that one out of three voters were
women.
In the Seymour strongholds the
organized women who have waged
the Seymour campaign were out
in force. They stood in pairs at
the polls and peddled Seymour
cards and urged their candidate

the voters.
This afternoon it is planned to
put out hundred automobiles to
carry Seymour voters to the polls.
The rich have the automobiles
and many of them are for Sey-
mour. They are making a des-
perate effort to get every vote for
him possible.
If the vote keeps up all day as
it started this morning the total
ballot will run over 10000 by the
time the polls close.
The drizzle of rain that came
before noon rather dampened the
ardor of some of the poll workers,
but they still kept up hard fight
jail day.
All sides are confident. Barth
workers today were even claiming
that Seymour would be third in
the race and that the contest was
between Barth and Fawcett. Faw-
cett still clings to his opinion that
he will have 5000 over both.
Seymour Is confident, and his
North End followers say he will
win.
In the meantime the people are
settling it for themselves.

DENIAL ATTEMPT
BADLY FO|LED

The fact that the Times caught
the Seymour press in a tight
place last night by demonstrating
beyond proof of contradiction
that the attempt to deny the
Times story of Saturday night,
was based on a last desperate de-
sire to gain for Mr.. Seymour,
caused no end of talk in places
where politicians congregate.

admit that the Times has printed

remark heard in the Donneily
hotel where several men were dis
cussing the situation.
Since the campaign opened the

An effort would have been
made to cover up the fact that

was, the opposition press was

For the real facts, the public has

CHAMP CLARK
IS ELECTED
SPEAKER
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON, d. c., April 4.
Immediately after business in the
house was begun today Champ
Clark of Missouri was formally
elected speaker, receiving PIT out
of a total of 365 votes.
Sixteen republican progressrves
voted for congressman Cooper OF
Wisconsin. Cooper himself voted
for Congressman Norris of NeD-
raska. James r. Mann of ILL
nois received 131 votes for the
honor.
Thousands of would-be sight
seers were denied admittance to
congress today, only those with
cards being allowed to pass the
doors.
Bryan Greeted.
Before the house convened
William j. Bryan sauntered onto
the floor and was warmly greeted
by the members while the gailer-
les loudly cheered. Pandemonrum
followed when Gov. Harmon of
Ohio followed the Nebraskan and
the very walls shook with cheers
when the two chiefs of democracy
clasped hands. Both occupied
seats on the floor of the house
and watched the opening proceed
ings with interest.
Though outshone in numbers,
the republicans were not lacking
in enthusiasm, and the old guard
roared out lusty welcome when
representative Mann of Illinois,
the candidate for speaker, came
upon the scene.
The busiest man in Washington
today was Champ Clark. All
during the morning admirers
stormed his room and the Mis-
sourian was kept busy shaking
hands. No attempt was made to
open the kilograms of congratu-
lations which poured in upon him.
They came in scores but the fu-
ture speaker was far too busy at
first hand even to examine the
good wishes expressed by absent
friends.
