WORKING WITH M'BRIDE Governor. Would Name His Own Successor, SEES QWN CASE HOPELESS Effort May Be Made to-Swing Pres ent Executive's Strength in the State Convention to D. T. Ham, a Commission Man. SEATTLE. "Wash., May 7. (Special.) John I Wilson would, if able, nominate an Eastern Washington man for Governor. In two ways he has tipped his hand, and the Piles following is working to head off the scheme they attribute to Wilson. In his own paper Wilson has advocated the nomination of an Eastern Washington man for Governor, arguing that strength in Eastern Washington is necessary to carry the state for the Republican nomi nee. And the significant feature of this position taken by Wilson Is that the effort for an East Side man was made Imme diately after D. T. Ham had come from Spokane for a conference with Wilson and gone Tiome to announce that he was willing to be the compromise candidate for Gov ernor. Ham and his friends claim he is a loyal commission man and a follower of Mc Bride, but, the Governor being defeated, would be willing to take up the fight on his own behalf. There are reasons to be lieve that Wilson looks upon Ham's ambi tion in the same way. The McBride strength In the State Con vention, according to the returns as sent in from the various counties, is just 203 votes. It is claimed by the anti-McBrlde men that Stevens is split; McBride claims he has five votes from Yakima and a small scattering support from other counties that were believed to have turned him down entirely But the actual standing of various counties, according to convention or" primary indications, is: How the Delegates Will Vote.

W. Coiner is a possible candidate for Governor from the county, and there is no McBride influ ence left In Lewis. That makes it safe to place Lewis in the anti-McBrlde col umn, and the primaries justify this con clusion. Votes for a Commission Man. With the 203 votes his following controls McBride figures upon being able to name a commission man as his successor. A place on the railroad commission is be lieved to be the portion that McBride will ask in-return. The attitude of Wilson, and especially of his paper, in demanding the nomination of an Eastern Washington man for Gov ernor is indicative of a desire on his part that the McBride programme be carried out. It would eliminate McBride and the chances would be altogether favorable for the nomination of a Wilson man as & ernor at the same time. Then, through the cordial support of the candidate, whoever he might be, made by Wilson and his paper, the Senatorial aspirant hopes to be able to draw votes from Eastern Washington that would otherwise be lost to him through the sym pathy for McBride. May Not Be Abie to Deliver. The Piles people are working hard to head this off. They have an understand ing that several of the counties in East ern Washington will not be traded off in a new arrangement of this kind by Mc Bride. - These counties, instructed to .vote for McBride, will follow out that part of the programme, but will refuse to allow him to switch them as he sees fit to a new candidate. The possibility of a McBride-"Wilson alli ance for an. Eastern Washington and pos sibly inimical candidate, will probably lead to an understanding between Foster and Piles representatives to the effect that no effort shall be made toward playing Sena torial politics in the State Convention. Neither candidate wants McBride, and both are interested in preventing the de velopment of Wilson's strength. More over, both are so close to the railroad in terests that they -will have to protect the roads against the carrying out of a plan that would injure the roads. How to Dodge the issue. The question of a railroad commission plank is worrying the politicians. It Is 9 C 19 9 9 17 8 5 .. 10 10 6 4 7 .. .. 5 9 115 13 13 11 21 17 7 S 5S 10 a. 6 21 4 40 49 15 15 6 20 35 19 undoubtedly true that a majority of the delegates In the next convention are op posed to the railroad commission plank of two years ago. A few. are committed to an elective commission plank, and some, even fighting McBride, are Instructed to vote for a railroad commission plank. Though It has not been suggested as a final plan, there has been talk of a plank that would declare for an elective com mission. On the- other hand, a movement to indorse a tax commission instead of any railroad commission has been sug gested as an alternative, but no pro gramme has been adopted. EFFORTS AT ALLIANCE. Delegates From Northwest Antl Counties Try to Get Together. SEATTLE. Wash.. May 7. (Special.) Delegates from all but one of the antl McBride counties of the Northwest have tried today to form an alliance but have been blocked by trouble in Clallam and Whatcom Counties. The Northwestern counties have two candidates for Stato Auditor and two for Representative. Un til settlement of this agreement can be made there Is no possibility of a com bination and the trouble cannot be ad justed until the remainder of the What com County delegation arrives tomor row. C. W. Clausen, of Kitsap County, has offered, to make H. J. Llpsett, of Clallam, his chief deputy in the event the former is made State Auditor, and Llpsett Is willing to drop out of the Auditors' fight and throw his strength to Clausen. But Tom Alwell, of the Clallam County dele gation, has blocked the game. Alwell Is here at the head of the Clal lam County delegation and for some un asslgned reason he wants Llpsett to stay In the race. Alwell is close to L. Wilson and efforts have been made, though un- successful, to have Wilson pull Alwell off and allow the combination to go through. Whatcom Is Insistent In supporting A. E. Meade for Congress. It appears the McBride men taunted the Meade follow ing before they left home, saying they would not land anything for the county and the delegation, which contains some of the strongest men in the state. Is in sisting that Meade shall be recognized. A general agreement to give Meade the army generals has been made but the What com County steering committee, has re jected the proposal. Possibly when the remainder of thedelegat!on arrives they may agree to it. The Northwest, outside Skagit, which is solid for McBride and not to bo considered, has U7 votes, distributed as follows: Clallam, 9; Island, 9; Jefferson, 9; Kitsap. 13; San Juan, 3; Snohomish, 40; Whatcom, 35. The candidates now In the fight in the Northwest are: C. E. Coon, of Jefferson, for Lieutenant Governor; H. J. Llpsett. Clallam, and C. W. Clausen, of Kitsap, for Auditor; F. H. Brownwell, of Snohomish, and A. E. Meade, of Whatcom, for Representative; S. A. Callvert, of Whatcom, Land Com missioner; S. H. Nichols of Snohomish, Secretary of State. In addition John S. McMillan of San Juan, wants to go to the National convention. In the ultimate adjustment of the North west's troubles the plan of Meade for Attorney-General, promising Llpsett the chief deputy's place In the Auditor's office; dropping Callvert and making Coon either an elector or some delegate has been suggested and finds the most favor. Of course all this will not be given away until the Northwest Is forced to concede something prior to the state convention. Southwestern Washington delegates are gathering In Tacoma, but have not or ganized, owing to the absence of so many delegates. WHITMAN FOR M'BRIDE. Delegation Pledged to Support of the Governor in Convention. COLFAX, Wash., May 7. (Special.) Whitman County Republicans today elect ed 24 delegates to the State Convention at Tacoma, May 11, and instructed them to vote for Henry McBride, for Governor, so long as he is- a candidate. In addition to the resolutions passed, every candidate for delegate was made to stand up and de clare his attitude before the vote was cast. The convention was the largest ever held in Whitman County, there being 280 delegates, every precinct but three being represented. The McBride forces had com plete control, and there was no dissenting vote on any matter. F. J. Wilmer, of Rosalia, a pronounced McBride supporter, was made chairman, and U. L. Ettinger, of Colfax, and H. H. Boone, .of Palouse, were the floor leaders. The resolutions indorsed tlie administra tions of President Roosevelt and Governor McBride, and pledged delegates to support both for renomlnatlon. Every mention of Roosevelt and McBride brought forth cheers. The convention was entirely har monious, there being no opposition to Mc Bride in this county. The delegates- were selected from all parts of the county, every precinct of im portance being given a delegate. The del egates are bound by the unit rule and au thorized to cast the full vote of the dele gation, should any delegate fail to attend the convention at Tacoma. M'BRIDE CLAIMS THE MAJORITY Mason County Delegation Is Divided on the Governorship. OLYMPIA, Wash., May 7. (Special.) Advices from, Shelton leave the results of the Mason County Republican Convention today on the Governorship question in doubt. As Indicated by the primaries the antl-McBride men were in control of tho convention at the time of organization. They adopted a resolution Imposing the unit rule on the State delegation, and by a majority of ten defeated a resolution favoring McBride. When it came to voting for delegates, however, the majority of the men on the anti-McBrlde slate were defeated by one vote. The Governor's friends claim four of the seven delegates, but their claim 13 not conceded by McBride's opponents. Olympla friends of C. J. Lord claim abil ity to swing the delegation. The delegates are T. W. Danlel3, L. W. Speece, A. J. Munson, and A. L. Bell, claimed by McBride, and Charles Mc Reavy and three men having two votes between them, as follows: W. H. Maxwell, W. G. Rex, E. K. Matlock, known to bo opposed to the Governor. The convention was long and stormy. It did not nama county officers. Wrangle Over King Delegates. SEATTLE, Wash., May 7. (Special.) The trouble over the selection of the dele gation to the state convention from this county has not ended. Today J. D. Far rell left for the ranch at which S. R. Piles Is resting, to insist upon further changes in the delegation and the two men are going over the list again. John H. McGraw is dissatisfied with -the list and is threatening to draw out of Doth delegation and steering committee unless plans are made. He objects to the power that it is proposed to grant to P. C. Sullivan and to making Humphrey's fight so prominent. The King County situation Is completed, too, by the demand of John L. Wilson that E. C. Hughes and Erastus Braln erd be elected as National delegates. Plies has endorsed Bralnerd, but the Piles committee wants F. C. Harper, ona o their number, sent.
