Wilson, manager of the Poindexter Senatorial campaign tw o years ago., once an advance agent for ha Kollatte in thie state, again a sponsor for the C'otterlll Mayoralty boom and more receaitly a torchbearer In Ihe Kooaevelt fight here, will have to struggle all . the way tomorrow night to prevent an Insurrection among Insurgents and the loss of his posi tion In the ex-Preeldenfs campaign committee. ' Relieved of the detail of a municipal election. anti-Wilson Insurgents have turned all their attention to the ex Poimlexter manager. So long as the municipal campaign ocrupled the at tention of everybfdy else. Rufus Wil son had it all his own way in ilia Roo!evelt movement, but all In good time, his enemies propose, he shall b met and dealt with it may be that another important business affair will suddenly demand ail of Wilson's attention and compel him to forego the detail of campaign management. It has happened in the past that when sorely pressed by poli tical enemies, cares of business have called Wilson away ami prevented him from remaining to fight it out for con trol. Kver since th last Senatorial cam paign, a group of insurgent leaders have been after him. In fact a faction, led by O. C. Moore, former law partner of Senator Miles Poindexter. was after him durlnx the campaign and it Is an insurgeait claim that Wilson was sent to Seattle from Spokane to avoid trouble. Whatever may have been the real relationship between Wilson and the men close to Poindexter. the fact remains that Wilson stayed as osten alble manager, anyway. Then Kufua Wilson drifted Into the Commercial flub as secretary and. as the Commercial Club is strongly given to insurging he led a faction in that organization. His faction prevented a consolidation with the Chamber of Commerce last year, but shortly there after Kufus Wilson found a new sphere of insurgent kctivity. He organised the "Alaska Square real league." a so ciety that was insurging against the regular Pacific Coast organisation of commercial bodies united to aid Alaska. While insurging for the fommerclal Club Wilson planned to Insurge his way Into Congress as a successor to Will K. Humphrey, regular Republican. Wil son had it figured to a nicety that Woodrow Wilson would be the Demo cratle Presidential nominee and that Ihe Democrata in the First Congres sional District would be casting about for an Insurgent Republican to nom inate and elect, Wilson prepared for the opportunity. While waiting for the Congressional Idea to Incubate Wilson Insurged on Ihe Mayoralty, deciding: to bring out Oeorge F. Cotterlll. By Just what au thority he acted was never made en tirely clear, but It Is a fsct that during the early stages of the Cotterlll fight all the predictions of Wilson came true. Wllsoa'a Sekewse Falls. Following Ihe Senatorial campaign came h period when Rufus R. Wilson busied himself In an attempt to nomi nal and elect a non-partisan Judiciary tl.-ket. The nomination part of the scheme succeeded, but by election time the people had grown tired of Insur ing and Ihe customary Republican ma jorities were returned for the regular Kepubttcan candidates.

Before this opposition be came real noisy Rufus Wilson found ti.st an Important business deal would occupy all his time and he would have to abandon both the Square leal Ixsgur and municipal politics. Ho did. Wilson came out with an announce ment that he had discovered that V'oodrow Wilson was losing ground, I.a Follette was hopelessly out of the fight and that the only way to save tiie country w-s to Induce T. Roose velt to get Into the fight for President. Not being bothered by any other po litical responsibilities st the time. Rufus Wilson volunteered to organize the state for Roosevelt and he did a pretty good Job of It. so far as planting an organization Is concerned. Since everybody else about Seattle was busy with other political affairs. Wilson got all his plans under way and ris organization started before rival insurgent leaders could nove. O. (. Moore, of Spokane, proiesljl and wrote letters to Seattle askinr, insur gent leaders here to bar Wlloon frDin the organisation, " hey were too bus to pay any attention to Moore at the time and Wilson was not Interfered with. He. however, served notice on Poindexter that unless the fight against him stopped he -would begin telling rampalc-n secrets. and Poindexter prompt!- sent word from Washington asking his friend to let Wilson alone. WIIoa Alaa Oraaalser. Moore refused to take the hint and went back to Spokane and organized his own Roosevelt club. In Tacoma thev launched a couple of rival organ isations, but In Seattle and in other spheres of Wilson Influence the former Poindexter campaign manager went blithely on his way.

State Senator Pan Landon. who. with Jesse Frye. ex-lnited States res trict Attorney, had the first tip from Ormsby McHarg that the Roosevelt boom was to be launched, announced that his North End crowd would not stand for Wilson control.

Los Angeles. Cal. It Is the personal recommendations of people who have been cured by Chamberlain's Cough Reroedy that makes it popular. No one troubled with a cough or cold should hesitate in using it with Implicit confidence. that possibly lie will not resist an at tempt to wrest control of the county organization, but that Is not at all cer tain, for Wilson has let It be known that he expects his Roosevelt activity to win him a nomination for Congress-man-at-large. The Rufus Wilson programme Is rather an ambitious one, for It has al ready slated Mayor Dllllng and Oeorge II. Walker, who wants lo succeed Sen ator W. L. Jones, as delegates to the National convention. As a matter of fact, neither man is a political power nor a wizard at getting control of del egations, so the opposition to Wilson probabl will strengthen Itself by pick ing up some new candidates for dele gates. The Republican county committee has given the Roosevelt and Taft or ganizations Iwo weeks- time to figure out a method of paying the expenses of party caucuses and primaries. The committee already has a deficit of J5"0 and has been sued for the amount. It refuses to Involve Itself for any further Indebtedness. Friends of the Taft Administration did not organize until Saturday night, but It Is unlikely that they lost any thing by delay, as the Taft organiza tion has not been accompanied by any friction. Moreover. Insofar a King County is concerned, the Roorevelt or ganization is yet to come. The Taft Cfnb. starting with mote than 200 at Its Initial meeting, will perfect Its or ganization by precincts throughout the county. PRACTICE CHANGE SEEN Ft.

A conference was held yesterday by Secretary Lorntsen. of the Columbia River Fishermen's Protective I'nion, with Colonel Stevens, commanding of ficer at Fort Stevens, regarding the holding of target and submarine mine drills, which look place during the fishing season last Summer, and Col onel Stevens not only said he would do everything possible to arrange the mat ter satisfactorily to all. but prepared a schedule for the drills which he will submit lo General Maus. tha depart ment commander, for his approval, af ter which it will lie forwarded to the department in Washington, which un questionably will adopt It. The proposed new schedule will pro vide for the holding of the submarine mine drill on the north side of the river during the month of April, before the fishing season opens, while the mine practice on the south side of the river will take place In May. In this practice, however, the mines are lo csted In the right. Just below Fort Stevens, where they will not interfere with tishing In any way. The shooting with the big guns at targets, inside the river, will be held between August 5S and September S. which is during the Fall closed fish ing sesson and shortly after that latter date, the target practice st sea will take place. The custom lias heen for the department in Washington to fix the dates for holding these practice drills and the time has already been ... i ,nmi.. .easoo is It Is the policy of the War Department to inter I fere as little as possible with commerce of any line of industry, as well as to cause the least possible danger to life and property in these drills, there Is every reason to believe it will change the schedule as recommended.

This was allowed by Chief Justice Fakin. counsel for the respondent Insisting-, however, that he file it within, five days, and this was conceded by Colonel Wood. In his argument Just'ce Slater brought out what was apparently a new point here in relation to the testimony of the experts of County Clerk Kields. who went over the names on the refer endum petitions. He said that after it was admitted that the names provided bv Harry Goldman were fraudulent that the Fields experts guaranteed the (tenuinenessvof an entire sheet of names which had been admitted by the de fense to be void because of fraud. He gave this as a statement to dis credit the results of the examination made by the Fields experts. It is probable that an opinion on the cases will be forthcoming early In April.
