SPURS

Acting on instructions of Henry
Prince, his financial hacker, who
told him pointedly a few days
ago that If he didn't make some
kind of a promise to the people
pretty soon he'd never get started
at the final election" c. F. w.
Stoever came out with three
promises" at two of his meet
ings last night.
Stoever, a former pastor of the
Lutheran church, made the long
awaited declarations with all the
dramatic eloquence that he form
erly utilized in his pulpit.
He declared he would prosecute
bootleggers, would close every
blind pig in the city, and would
run out of the city the parasites
who are living off the earnings of
fallen women.
Stale PROMISES"
Stoever did not say what he
would do with the fallen women.
The promises" made by the
former minister were the same as
have been made during the entire
campaign by every candidate VINO
sought the office of public safety.
Most of the Stoever campaign
material, part of which was used
by Livingston Wilkeson in q
speech for the candidate at Val
halla hall last night, when he at

during the former Petit admin
istration, has been furnished by
former Police Chief LOOMS.
Loomis is one of the leaders of
the Stoever workers, and is said
to have been promised his posi-
tion in the police department if
Stoever is elected.
LOonis After Job.
LOOMS figures purport to
show that there were an enorm-
Gus number of fallen women in
Tacoma at the end of the Petit
administration.
Henry Prince is financial back
er of Stoever, because, In his own
words, he would have to give
up the Pacific avenue store if
Petit were elected and should
abolish dice shaking"
Money in Dice.
Prince is reported to have told
friends that the dice shaking was
bringing him between $50 and
$50 a day business at his cigar
store on the avenue. Livingston
Wilkeson, who is assisting the
campaign, owns the building in
which Princes store is located.
