The present Indications are that the attempt of Governor Mead to please his own friends and at th- same time hu mor the demands of Cosprove's friends, will not promote an amicable carrying out of the Pomeroy understanding.

BOARDMAN MADE ANGRY Gorman Ini(s He Shall 1'ny S!5, 000 for Male rrlnllnif-riaiit if He Wants Joh During Lcci'a to rc Ixrton I'ncasy, Too. OLTMriA. Wa.h.. Jan. 1 (Special.) Harmony in the carrying out of the anrmTit concerning appointments en tered into in Poinerny betaeen Governor Mnd and iovrrnor-el.-ct Cof grove, be fore the latur'a departure for California. baa existed only during the first strains of the opening overture. The preliminary discord has been sounded In the naming of a state printer to succeed O. W. Gorharn, and while Governor M-sd has announced that he will name B. I. Boardman, of Puyalltip, in accordance nith the wishes of lr. Cosgrove, there are some vital details that have not yet been agreed upon. Mr. Boardman spent three days here this week trying to Kt Governor Mad to Indue him Ma comm!F'on to take effect January 11. and went away without It. Pate of Taking Office Obstacle. Tli date tlie appointment should take effect was the firt ohnrle encountered. Governor Mead did not recall that there was any agreement us to tint, but Mr. Boardman Insisted tiiat l.e .n to have the appointment at once. If the appoint ment were made effective January 11. Mr. Boardman would sure the biir profits from the legislative print Ins In the ses sion which begins on that date. CI V. Gorham will not have served a full four years as state print r until April 1. and Governor Mead thought it no more than fair that Gorham he allowed to com plete the usual length of term of ap pointive oflicers. The controversy over the date of the appointment has now resolved Itself Into a question of Gorham and Boardman getting; togeMer on the purchi.se of Gorham's plant. Gorl.am is willing; to retire In January If Hoaidman will buy the printer's out.lt he has bu:it up during his term of office at aa expenditure of about S2Z.:'. Garbam'D ProfUs in Plant. Gorham claims that practically all the profits of the work have gone Into this plant and that ins remuneration as state printer will be equivalent to the amount iie can gel out of the machinery, type and other rqulptnent. Mr. Boardman spent most of the three days either In the office of the Governor or at the state printing plant, but when he left here It was In sneer and he and Mr. Gorham were far from coming to terms. Boardman claims the plant Is too big; and also that the price demanded Is too large. Unless this condition Is soon relieved Gorham is likely to remain state printer at least until after Governor Cos grove Is Inaugurated. While Boardman Is having his troubles witti Gorham and Governor Mead, another factor In state politics Is laying plans to rapture this t!i best plum with in the gift of the Governor. Hay May I ps-rt Plans. In spite of Gvertior-ee-t Cosprove's recent marked Improvement in health there art few here who believe that he will serve out his term as Governor. If Ueutenant-Goverr.or M. C Hay should get into full swing as Governor, strong pressure would be brought to bear upon him to cause s. new ilal of the cards in the state printer's ofrtee. If this pressure Is strong enough George W. Hopp. of Olympia. will be Hate printer, while State S-n.itor P. I Allen, of Seattle, who Is at the head of one of the big printing establishments of that city will have a hand in providing the plant and doing the work. In the legislative session of 1903. Allen was one of the principal Instru mentalities In securing the passage of the present law providing for the ap pointment of a state printer and fixing his remuneration. At that time there was a combination consisting of Allen. Al Howe, of Taconii. and Gordon Cor- baly. of Spokane, all employing printers on a large scale, and the three claimed to have an understanding with Gover nor Mead that one of them was to be named state printer. Further arrange ments were to be left to themselves. Whether or not th"r was a definite understanding of this character, none of the three got the plaoe. Hopp Walts for Lightning. Since then Allen has been elected to the State Senate and Is now lined up with the combination that promises to control that branch of the Legislature In the coming session With him are Senator A. 3. Ruth, of Thurston County, who Is slated fdV President of the Sen ate If Hay becomes Governor. Senator W. G. Potts, of, Seattle, Senator Robert Y. Booth, of Seattle, and other bold overs. Senator Ruth Is as close to Hay aa any man In the state and Is a warm personal friend and fellow-political-worker in Thurston County of Hopp. Mr. Hopp Is a practical printer. Trie men named have a strong com bination and Indications are that they will win out If Hay becomes Goverror. This part of the situation is under stood by Boardman who does not want to Invest heavily In a big plant with the possibility of having- It on his hands at the end of a few months. In addi tion It is claimed he would have to seek financial aSBis'ance in order to buy out Gorham and financial assistance is not readily secured with political condi tions so uncertain in ti.is state as they are at present ation Not featifioI. With the purchase of Gorham's plsnt practically mad", a contingent for his Immediate appointment and such a pur chase next to Impossible for him. Boardman naturally left olympia in an unpleasant frame of mind. There were some detaa'.s lacking also in the agreement to appoint Eugene I-orton. of Walla Walla, on the board of control. The principal one la whether he Is o have the place now held by Matt Piles or the one occupied by James H. Davis. There Is I10U0 difference In the yearly salaries of tho two places. Tavla was a member of the board when the last Legislature Increased the sal ary of eacn member from 12000 to $3000. and aa his term does not expire until 111. the man who takes bis place must serve for the smaller salary un til, the end of the term. Mr. Piles, however, was re-appointed to a new term after the increase In salaries and Is drawing J3000 a year.
