Memorable Feat

The operator who cabled it could not under
stand English, and the newspaperman printed
the message laboriously by hand, SO the oper-
ator could send it letter by letter without I'M
Outstanding what the words meant.
The achievement was and still remains one
of the greatest feats in newspaper history
Also it changed the whole political situa-
tion-but that's another story.
The man who got the interview was Gibson
Gardner of the Newspaper Enterprise Associ-
alton
And it was ellison Gardner who was in The
Times office today.
For the Newspaper Enterprise Association
is the agency that keeps The Times and it's
sister papers supplied with big features from
all over the world; and Gardner is the man
whose stories are just now keeping Times
readers up to date in the presidential cam
paign.
He stuck his head in at the door of the ed
itorial room-a small, quiet, unobtrusive man
and asked If the editor was in.
l thought he was somebody with favor to
ask; he seemed so anxious not to interrupt.
He is swinging around the circle, sizing up
state after state with his trained observation
and when he got this far, he dropped in to
say Hello" He said it modesty as If not
certain that anybody would want to waste
any time on him.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1916-09-29
Acrobatic Matter

l watched him from my corner, wondering
what 1t felt like to be as big newspaper
man as ellison Gardner, and whether. he
writes his big, forceful stories the least bit
the same way that other reporters write their
daily stints, and whether he ever has trouble
thinking of the right word.
And next thing knew, the editor was ask
ing him to write story specially for The
Times, and he was saying YES" and there
was call for a stenographer. And in about
minute I saw ellison Gardner at work
He twisted and UNFINISHED his legs and
squirmed Sometimes he gripped the seat of
his chair with both hands and held on tight
as II 1t were bucking.
Sometimes he Rugged himself and swayed
backward and forward as If in great pain.
Sometimes he paused and thought for a
moment, and made faces. He dictated about
as fast as a business man would dictate let
ter. He never changed a word or SEN
.tence.
You will find his story, in the form of an
interview, right alongside this sketch. 1t is
plain and unostent atious as the little man
who stuck his head into the door of the editor
ial room of The Times today; and as straight
forward and authoritative as the correspond
ent who followed Roosevelt to the middle of
the African continent to get the story the
world wanted.

TACOMA SAYS COAST
is ALL FOR WILSON
BY Mabel Abbott

An interesting person was in The Times Of
flee today.
Do you remember, about seven years ago,
when President Taft had been in office about
a year and his strenuous predecessor in
Africa for about the same length of time. the
condition of mental strain and nervous ten
sion the whole country had got into, wonder
ing what the mighty hunter would say when
he came back and took look at things?
Do you remember how the excitement grew
until 1t became unbearable and we simply
HAD to know--and yet we couldn't find out?
And do you remember how, into the midst
of this agony of suspense there burst forth
PERSONAL INTERVIEW with Col. Roose-
welt?
A newspaper man had gone to Africa to
get that interview.
He had gone by the regular routes until
the regular routes gave out, and then he
chartered a steamer and pushed on up the
Nile on the trail of the mighty hunter, until
at last he found him, in Central Africa, told
him the situation, got his statement and sent
it out by naked, coal-black Soudanese saw

BUY
SUPPLIES

With $4,000 saved during
1916 by economy in his depart
ment, Commissioner Petit an
nounced Friday that he would
spend large part of this money
for equipment and supplies for
the following year, to ease the
strain of enforced cuts in 1917
expense.
He will purchase an automobile
fire pump, to replace piece of
horse-drawn apparatus, and will
buy two water-cooled motors to
replace air-cooled engines on
present apparatus. He is also
figuring on purchasing one or
more automobile chassis, on
which the bodies of present horse
drawn hose wagons. He can do
this for $4,000, while motor
driven hose wagons cost $1,000.

Similar Here

In Washington, the situation is some
thing similar, with the difference that
Poindexter does not control the situation
as does Johnson. 1t appears to be conced-
ed that Poindexter will win, and his. vic
tory will help Hughes but whether it will
influence enough votes to pull Hughes
through is very doubtful.
Much depends on the labor vote, and
in other parts of the country | find this is
almost solid for Wilson.
Much depends also OH the city of Sc
attic The election in Washington state,
it seems, will be won or lost in Seattle. If
there is vigorous campaign, that city
ought to give Wilson winning margin.
Personally, am very much pleased at
the victory of Poindexter in the primar
les. | have watched his career in Wash
ington for six years, and can say with the
greatest sincerity that he is one of the
most useful men from the peoples point
of view in either branch of congress The
kind of senator who will serve the public
and not special privilege is sufficiently
scarce to warrant the return of man with
the kind of record Poindexter has.
The situation in Oregon is more ia
vorable to Wilson, possibly, than in
Washington. There is no Pondexter
there to help Hughes, and standing on his
own legs, he will have trouble beating
Wilson.
| have talked with managers at both
republican and democratic headquarters,
land the democrats seem to be the more
confident. This would not indicate any
thing if they had not polls and other
things to go on. There have been very
few accurate polls taken anywhere, but
such as there are indicate close race,
with Wilson rather in the lead

DRAKE SUIT
is ON TODAY

That the city has full jurisdie-
ton to impeach Commissioner
Drake and that the recall law in
no way invalidates the right of re-
moval from office given in the
city charter was the argument of
City Attorney Harmon in Superior
Judge Clifford's court Friday.
The hearing was on the at
tempt of Drake and his attorneys
to get an order from the court
permanently restraining the city
council from voting on the i'm
parchment.
brakes contention is that the
recall law took away the charter
rights of impeachment.
In answer to this, Attorney
Harmon cited part OF the recall
law which states specifically that
its purpose was primarily to
place additional power of removal
in the hands of the people.
His argument was that the re-
call merely gives the people the
power to remove a public officer
when the city council refuses to
act.
When 1t was learned that the
council intended to vote on
brakes impeachment, Drake OBJ
tanned writ Of prohibition
from the court.
The city Friday also made a
motion to quash this writ. The
only thing a layman could un-
derstand about the argument ON
this motion was the word pro
hibition." 1t was dry stuff.
