GENERALSHIP OF CAMPAIGN GREAT Triumph of Pojndexter Shows Much Skill and Sagacity at Game of Politics. . R. R. WILSON GETS CREDIT Kvcrj Move on I'art of Insurcent Nomine' for Senator From Wash ington -Va Timed Cicely and Manager Is Praised. SKATTI.E. Wat-h.. Sopt. 15. (impe rial.) With complete county returns comlns In from h!I ovrr the state th lead nf MHps Polndexter for T'nited States Senator mounts upward xtea.llly and the. chances for tVllllam H. Humphrey-, for Congress, grow Btadily slimmer. The Polndexter campaign Is regarded by politicians-generally as tire -most remarkable of the Insurgent victories In the country. As an organization, the Polndexter forces never have been equalled In this state. There were more than 1000 active workers, covering every city, . hamlet and crossroads, who -worked without Day and for that reason more enthusi astic. Aside from the men recog nised as squad leaders, every insur gent In the state was a missionary to convert his neighbor. Late returns In dicate that the missionaries were more than ordinarily successful. Politicians Bow to Polndeater. That the Polndexter fight was skill fully handled the politicians will ing to concede. Few mistakes were made and the Insurgent wave swept ateadily upward until It reached Its highest point on primary day. The man who managed the fight for Pomdexter in Washington is Hufus R. Wilson. Journalist, author and politi cal reformer. Last October. Rufus R. Wilson came from Washington. D. C. and organized the Progressive Republican League", at Spokane. Its purpos was to Indorse the candidacy of Miles Polndexter for Rep resentative In Omsress. During the early davs of the league It was not be lieved possible to elect Polndexter Idled States Senator. Horn-ever, after more than 50 news papers In the Third Conttres-ional Dis trict had fallen into line for Polndexter. the Progressive Leaeue became ambi tious and indorsed Mr. I'oindexU-r for Senator. Wil-oii Always on the Jl. While Concressman Polndexter was In-jnmrlng- ireirlimt I nHe- Joe Cannon-- at Washington, Rufus R. Wilson was on the Job' in this state, seeing that his candi date was kept prominently before the pubtic. He outlined the wore ana ro usted a great company of uolunteers. . The Progressive League wanted Foin dexter to' leave his seat at Washington and to come bock to thl state early last Spring. On the surface it appeared that Insurgency waa languishing, and the Polndexter men wanted to see a little 'more ginger hi the fight. This plan was opposed by Rufus R. Wilson, who contended that a whirlwind finish would be not only more effective but less ex pensive, and as the Polndexter commit tee had little money this was Important. Subsequent events proved that Mr. 'Wilsons Judgment was rightly correct. The - campaign seemed timed exactly right to reap the best results. Kcutt Surprises Insurgents. The number of Insurgent votes was a surprise to the most enthusiastic Poln dexter man. The Polndexter campaign In King County was In the . hands of Tom .Murphine, a young lawyer and a former student of the University of Washington. He was given full charge of the right here and he also made good. While the Spokane League was clam ortnic for Polndexter to come home last Spring, the insurgent Congressman was quietly rilling his trunk with campaign material, ile got himself talked about in the newspapers and 'when Theodore ' Koosevelt came home it was easy sail ing. Poindexter held a conference with Roosevelt and while there are different versions of what was said at that con ference, politicians believe that the in surgent ' received - encouragement ripeeches by t.'olonel Roosevelt during the progress of the fiht had the effect rf convincing voters that the ex-President was in sympathy with the insurg ent movement. liurLe Collapses as lie Hears Xe. Judge Burke has no comment to make over the outcome. He was at the Rainier Club when the returns began to come In and suffered a physi cal collapse when It became certain he could not be elected. It is a matter of curiosity to know how ,-murh the Burke camyriign has cost, as it Is believed Jiiuge Burke conducted the most expensive campaign known in state politics, of. Washington. The race for Representative in Con gress" between William K. Humphrey and Thomaa P Revelle in now a question of percentage, Humphrey has a substantial lead over Revelle on first-choice votes and lato returns Indicate that he has re ceived a little more than 40 per cent of the total vote cast for Representative. If the mlsBing returna do not show a de cided change of form for Humphrey, he will wtn and the contest will be decided without recourse u second-choice votes. Itevalle Leads in King County. The total vote in King County for. Con gressman gives Revelle a lead over Humphrey of 87X. However, in the north ern counties Humphrey has more than made up this1 discrepancy and the ques tion of leadership on nrst-choic-e votes Is settled. In Kinrf-ounty Humphrey lacks 596 votes of ITfvlng the necpssary 40 per cent, but he has votes to spare In Snohomish. Skagit and Whatcom counties. .. The In dications are that Revelle has carried San Juan County. among those who hare been Interested In the exposition, and last night the announcement was made that the mar riage would not tike place. As a feature for Friday night. In place of the Chinese wedding. Miss Katherine Dinsmore. a singer of abil ity, will render a number of well selected solos. That Interest and enthusiasm in the Pure Food Exposition has not abated, was evidence last night by the crowd of people who stood In a line at the box office of the Armory. Yesterday was a record day for the show, there being a larger attendance last night tnan on any of the previous evenings. Members of the Manufacturers' As sociation, numbering about 160, parched In a body from the Chamber of Commerce Building to the Armor, where many of them were Joined by their wives and families. Besides the speclHl musical pro gramme which was arranged for last night, there was another pie-eating contest. Willie Wells carried oft the prize, which was a pair of roller skates. These pie-eating contests will be held eacli evening this week. This -afternoon will be tag day at the Armory.

Testimony Creates Sensation. The cumulative effect of the testi mony of Messrs. Goodsell and Beards ley produced a sensation. Mr. Good sell caused another milder one. when. In defending his bill granting sweep ing privileges to the New Tork Trans portation Company, he noted that Col onel Roosevelt, then Governor, had signed It. There was a craning of necks when the name of C. H. Betts. member of the Republican state committee from Wayne County, was mentioned aa one who- had received 1"50 during 1908 from the Railway Association "for In formation furnished the association." The nature of the Information, or whence it came, was not disclosed. Mr. Betts was elected Tuesday to head the Wayne County delegation to the Republican state convention. He Is the only man now alive and in public life whose name has been brought Into the present controversy. Campaign Contributions Admitted. Yesterday Mr. Goodsell was asked to throw light upon a credit of $2000. placed with Ellingwood and Cunningham by President Rogers, of the Street Railway Association. in1903, an dtestifled that it probably had been "for campaign pur poses." The books of the Republican state committee might show It, the wit ness "Imagined." The witness was asked concerning a letter sent him by Ellingwood and Cun ningham In 1903. advising him that If he. visited the firm's offices he would be given the sum of J5000 in cash.

Re ports of the "prosresslve" vi, tory in the Republican primaries of WanhlnKton reached Theodore Roosevelt last night and he Immediately urgred that all fac tions of thn party unite to support Representative Miles Polndexter for the United titatea Senate and the three "progressive" nominees for Conjrress. "Just as In South Dakota, where the regulars won. I urged the 'progress ives' to support the' regulars heartily." he said.

Stranger GaliiH Confidence of Local Saloonist, Who Accommodates i'rlend by Allowing Him Access to Savings. By one of the cleverest swindling games to come before the notice -of the police in months George Daviolos, - who conducts a saloon at Fifth and Burn side streets, was euchered out of $1660 by two debonair chaps Wednesday, Davi olos attributes his loss to his gener osity and the confidence placed In a new-found friend who passed under the name John Ferran, who claimed French heritage. For the fast several weeks Ferran made Daviolo's saloon his headquarters and In some manner learned the fact that the saloonist had recently secreted $1600 In a safety deposit vault in the Bank of California in the Chamber of Commerce building. Yesterday Ferran brought a friend, a man well advanced- in years, to Davi olo's place of business and introduced him to the proprietor as being an Alas kan miner who-had $2400 in greenback in his possesRlon which he desired to temporarily secrete in a safe place. In a bland manner Ferran sungeste that the saloonist permit the money to be placed In his safety deposit box. The latter acquiesced and the three hied themselves to the bank, where a "flash roll." consisting of two greenbacks of small denominations, covering a wad of newspaper, was deposited in the box by the aged stranger." Apparently con tented with thp favor extended to him the elder of the two sharks suggested that thn three retire to a nearby buf fet. While standing at the bar a few moments later, the depositor suddenly concluded that he forgot to peel off enough bills from his supposed wealth to tide him over his stay in the city. Here, again Ferran' happily suggested that Daviolos permit Ills friend to take the key to the strong box. The latter again, consented to the requested favor and turned, over the key to the elder man. While Ferran engaged his victim in a conversation at the bar his pal slipped Into the vault and by means of the loaned key pilfered the box of Daviolos' $1600. Both succeeded in getting away without exciting the suspicions of their victim, who did not discover his loss, until he visited the bank) vaults in search of the man with the key. He found the "flash roll" utilized by the crooks to deceive him. This he turned over to the police with a meager de scription of the pair. Detective Sergeants Day and Hyde, who have been assigned to the case, have been unable to locate the swin dlers. They are believed to have fled from the city soon after the crime was perpetrated. BETTER WATER WANTED CIVIC COUNCIL COMMITTEE TO CONFER WITH OFFICIALS. School Inspection Will Be Asked for Buildings Declared To Be Un safe for Children. If .Portland Is going- to forge ahead and continue to attract people. her. to live, the water supply must be enlarged as soon as possible In order that every part of the city can have satisfactory service, was the keynote of the meet ing of the Civic Council of Portland, held last night. Bull Run water has been one of the chief factors in the rapid growth of Portland, argued the speakers, and now the lack of a sufficient supply of this fan-famed water is the cause of com plaint by a large part of the citizens, especially those residing on the East Side. '"We must have something done to improve the water system in Portland," declared Emerson L,. Mills Frank Motter, E. F. Moldenhauer and others spoke similarly ajid de clared that the water question had reached a crisis and made an appeal to the city authorities for speedy action.
