former Marion man mixed up in the

Gle home. 1--WE have now and have
had a house full of company. Yestcr-
day afternoon we all went to Cedar
oint and did not return until late
last night"
Have you any idea who tha wom-
an was who telephoned the attorney
generals oifice?" Mrs. Diegle was
asked.
"None whatever" was the reply.
New dispatches say it was partly
because you We're worried, that the
message was sent to Columbus Mrs.
Diegle was told. "Do you think one
of your relatives could have tele-
phoned?'
mo, l am sure no one did" came
the answer. "I have not worried.
Mr.. Degle told me again and again
that he was perfectly innocent and
that ne would come out all right and
l have relied on what he said"
Mrs. Degle says Col. Diegle was at
hcme Sunday when he received sum
mons to Columbus by telephone.
"He told me he had to go to Column
bus" said Mrs. Diegle, "and when
asked him what for, he said 'on busi-
ness He said the telephone message
came from a clerk at the state house.

early in the morning. 1t was from
Columbus. The person at the other
end-I don't know who It was-asled
where the colonel was and ! told him

If Mrs. Diegle was worried today,
she carefully concealed the fact.
"They have been trying to get Mr..
Diegle to confess a lot ofe Things he
knows alholutely nothing about"
Mrs. Diegle declared. 81 am not say

FRIGHTENED
BY T|TLOW

Word was given out from the
Seymour campaign headquarters
this afternoon that Mr.. Seymour
would not debate with A. r. Tit,
low on election issues.
Following Mr.. Seymour's chal-
lenge to Mayor Fawcett yesterday
Mr. Titlow consented to oppose
Mr.. Seymour. The mayor con-
tends that his record in office is
known to the people and If they
are not satisfied they will recall
him.
Friends of Mr.. Fawcett were
anxious that Mr.. Titlow exchange
stump courtesies with Mr.. Sey-
mour but as the latter declines
an extremely interesting session
has been nipped in the bud.
Every man who knows Mr.. Tit
low realizes that Mr.. Seymour
would be most unhappy man
were they to meet in public de-
bate.
OF course the Seymour forces
declare that Mr.. Titlow should not
debate. Truth of the matter is
that the Seymour campaign man.
ayers were frightened out of their
wits at the prospects of such a
meeting.

Labor Councils
Livel y Meeting

A somewhat lively meeting of
the Central Labor Council was
held last night regarding the po-
litical situation
A motion was put that S. T.
Barth be endorsed as Union La
bor's mayoralty candidate. The
chair ruled against this motion on
the grounds that two weeks ago
the council had refused to endorse
any candidate The chair was
overruled and a vote taken. It
was estimated that about 100 men
were present. A total vote of 33
was polled, 20 for Bartn and 13
against. Other members explain
ed the reason for their non vote
was because of the action taken
two weeks previous.
Reports from various unions
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1911-03-30

showed that the metal trades sec
tion of South Tacoma and the
plumbers were for Barth.. Twelve
locals expressed approval of w. e.
Clayton as candidate against

The new lodge of Milwaukee
mechanics has endorsed Mr.. Barth
AID Mr.. Clayton.
Supporters of Mr.. Barth, who,
although a socialist, cannot run
as the socialist candidate, are ex-
pressing confidence in Mr.. Barth's
ability to poll a good vote. Many
of the Seymour people are ex-
pressing hopes that the union
men will support Barth as chances
of second election will be en-
hanced.
