THE MORNING - OEEaONIAN, MONDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1902 VOTERS ARE BLOW Little Interest in Registering at Spokane. BUT POLITICIANS ARE HUSTLING Campaign Will Be Short and Sharp, "With Star Spielers Bunched Ke pnblicans Are Likely to Carry That County. SPOKANE. Wash., Oct. 5. (Special.) .Never were voters of Spokane more lax in registration and never -were efforts more concentrated on the part of both political parties to get the names of their adherents on the books. In the last elec tion over 5003 votes were cast Today, with the close of registration only seven days distant, few more than 5000 have reg istered. The apathy of voters, rather those qualified to vote. Is astonishing. Per haps It Is because there has been little doing In the way of political speeches, pro cessions and party hurrahs to stir up the male American. But from now on organ ized efforts will probably cause a rush to the City Hall, where registration Is cared for. The Republicans have a number of committees at work. .Each precinct Is being, checked, and every man on the books of two years ago Is approached and asked to register Immediately. The news papers daily contain appeals to voters to get on the books, and the candidates put in all their time in the good "work. Demo crats seem to be more lax In their duties of citizenship than Republicans. If any thing like the voting strength of the city can be coaxed to the polls, there is little doubt that practically every, candidate on the Republican county ticket will be elect , ed and a handsome majority polled for the state ticket. The city Is strongly Repub lican on general issues, even stronger than when McKInley was elected for the second term, and the advantage gained by Republicans in the city should far exceed the possible majorities the Democrats will have In the country precincts. Democrats Give -Up Connty. Many Democrats concede the county ticket to the Republicans, and would not be surprised to learn the morning after election that the Congressional candi dates and the Supreme Justice on the Re publican ticket had nearly 2000 majority in the county. Democratic leaders do not concede such majorities, but it Is al most certain that they will range between 1200 and 2000. On the Legislative ticket the situation is far different. The Republican candi dates have no means of knowing that Re publicans who register will vote for them, while the Democrats are certain that their part" adherents to a man will vote ior Legislators pledged to support George Turner for the Senate. Still. It is possible, if the full Republican strength, or am thing like it, can be voted, the Republican Legislative candidates In the city will scratch through. One hears little discussion of "politics on the streets. Except in a few cigar stores and saloons, where the ward leaders and Ifceelers- hang out. issues of the campaign are not mentioned. The 3Iasonlc Fair last week was of more Interest than the railroad commission question, apparently, and even baseball is given more promi nence than freights and fares. Short, Shnrp FiRht. It looks as If both parties are prepared for a short and sharp campaign, with all the star spielers bunched. If that Is the plan, the time will be short, for the Ma sonic Fair and the races lasted all last week, leaving only three weeks until elec tion day In which to convince the voter which way he should turn to save nis country from ruin. Prospects for a heavy vote in the East ern Washington fcounties outside of Spo kane are flattering. Perfect weather has given harvesting such impetus that the farmers will have time to spare to discuss politics and go to the polls. According to election figures of two years ago, the Democrats have a good chance to elect nearly all their Legislative candidates. But the new settlers who have rolled into Eastern Washington In the last two yeara are uncertain quantities. They may swell Democratic majorities, or they may elect Republican candidates In districts hither to Democratic, and no one can tell how they will vote, for there has been no elec tion since their coming. Senator Turner's prestige will undoubtedly have some weight with the wavering ones, but the Republicans who have not familiarized themselves with state politics are expect ed to vote the ticket straight. As in the city, there have been few political rallies in the country. Repre sentative Cushman is the most prominent spellbinder to sue for favors to this time. During the coming three weeks the rest of the Republican state ticket is expected to appear, and there will likewise be an influx of Democratic shouters. It will .keep all of them busy to get ove- this section of vast distances and small com munities, hence the parties will be com pelled to depend In the main on local talent to arouse enthusiasm. Popnlfsta About Out of Sight. The remnant of the once powerful Pop ulist party, a party which carried the county In good round majorities In 1S9S and gave Bryan the electoral vote in the same year. Is rapidly showing signs of complete disintegration. There was no state convention of the People's party held this year, and most of the old-Ume workers In the ranks are now found in the Republican or Democratic columns again. The dissolution, of the party in the various counties is well illustrated in Spokane. Kfre a convention was held and a ticket was put up after aflerce fight, during which half of the delegates left the hall and not over 20 remained to complete the , convention work. Since the ticket was put up four of the principal nominees have publicly an nounced their withdrawal from the slate, and the executive committee .has as yet named no successors. A few of the Legis lative candidates expect to carry their districts, but none of the county candi dates expect to make a showing at the polls. The executive committee has is sued a screed against the Democracy, be cause the latter granted no recognition to the People's party at the convention, and it seems the efforts of the Populists will be chiefly devoted to pulling down the vote of some of the Democratic candi dates. Mayor Byrne, who was put into office in the Spring of 1901 through the com blned vote of the Populists and, the liquor element, has announced his withdrawal from Populism, and says he will no longer be a politician, but will vote the Demo cratic ticket. He has given up his Sena torial and Gubernatorial ambitions, and Is. content to be a private citizen. Judge William Richardson, formerly a worker in the People's party ranks, has now alligned himself with the Socialists, and is an enthusiastic supporter of the Bellamy theory. Many other prominent Populists have dropped the Weaver ban ner for good, and their example is fol lowed all over the state. -Socialist Movement Grovrlns. The growth of the Socialist movement is a matter of much surprise to those who have not been keeping In touch with th crystallizing of the sentiment against the trusts and the ineffectual attempts to curb their power. The movement is crowing rapidly in' Eastern Washington, and Spo kane appears to be the hotbed. When men like Superior Judge Richardson are found 'exponents of the doctrine, yand as such are listened to by the brainy men of the city, it Is apparent that the party will cut considerable figure in the political history of the state soon. Judge Rich ardson gave a lecture on Socialism re cently, and drew a packed house. He has studied economic problems for years, and Is able to set forth the arguments In com prehensive style. His address attracted much attention because of his prominence, and many leading citizens were present to ask questions, for all of which the speak er was prepared. Three weeks ago the Socialists held their county convention. It was a mass meet ing, and their little hall on East Sprague avenue was packed with men. A. full ticket was put up, and while there is no probability of any of the candidates be ing elected, the leaders of the movement expect to make the party felt two years hence. Lecturers are In the field, and will remain throughout the- campaign, wprk lng up sentiment for the Socialists. A peculiar feature of the campaign of the old parties Is the "patting on the back" business which Senator Turner and Representative Cushman are indulging In. The Democratic Senator has no stronger admirer in the state than the bony Repub lican Congressman from the West Side, while apparently Turner has recently found 'out what a good and shining light Cushman Is for the whole state. Both men are on the stump, and neither has so far allowed an opportunity to pass to hand out a little good will for the other. Cushman speaks to Republican audiences of the "dignity .and power" of Senator Turner, while the Senator reminds his Democratic audiences that "Congressman Cushman Is the strong" man of the dele gation." Each generally concludes his bunch of flattery with an expression of regret that the other fellow is not of the right polit ical faith. This makes a hit with the loyal side of the house, while the kindiv, references to the opposition man have make the speaker solid with the minority of his hearers. It Is a lovely game of "good fellow," and both men are playing it to a finish. In newspaper Interviews they started the thing, and at the state conventions each made a complimentary reference to the other's ability. The mat ter has really gone so far that Frank Cole, Democratic candidate for Congress, has remonstrated with Turner, calling his attention to the fact that all Democratic eulogisms obtainable rightfully belong to the men on the Democratic ticket, who are making their own fight, and having troubles of their own. "FIGHT ON COUNTY COMMISSIONER. 4i Republican Bolter Favored by Dem-ocratH-ToacLes Railroad Question. OLYMPIA, Wash., Oct. 5. (Special.) After having had the matter under con sideration for four weeks, the Democratic County Central Committee of Thurston County yesterday decided not to fill the vacancy on their ticket caused by the resignation of G. K. Brown, candidate for County Commissioner from the Third District The object of this action seems to be to secure the re-election of County Com missioner Thomas Ismay, who led the bolters from the recent Republican Coun ty Convention, and who has announced himself as an independent candidate from the Third District. Ismay bolted the Re publican convention because he saw that defeat of himself for renomlnation was assured. His district was for him, but the convention as a whole was not, and the leaders of those opposed to his nom ination secured the passage of a resolu tion to nominate Commissioners by the convention. Instead of by districts, as had theretofore been the custom. The Commisslonershlp fight in Thurston Connty has an Important bearing other than political. It is in relation to the in dorsement or nonlndorsement of the act of the County Commissioners last Spring in compromising the taxes owed by the Northern Pacific Railroad Company at a figure less by $21,000 than the amount due. Ismay. then a Republican and now inde pendent candidate for re-election, and Thomas Byrne, the Democratic candidate for- re-election from the First District, both favored the reduction. County At torney Geprge H. Funk was opposed to the reduction, and refused to act In pre paring a stipulation for dismissing the action brought by the railroad company and accepting the agreed-upon amount for the taxes due from the company. The controversy over the compromise lasted all Summer and till long after the" matter had been finally settled and de termined. Both Byrne and Funk dis cussed the matter in print through the medium of the local papers, and hard things were said. As a result, Byrne has just brought suit for slander against Funk, and claims damages to the amount of $5000. The bringing of the damage suit Is generally considered as a political move to gain sympathy for the two Commis sioners who desire re-election. The two Republican candidates for County Com missioners are R. M. Paton and H. M. Pierce. Present Indications are that they are to receive practically the full brunt of the fight this Fall. WALCOTT AND IRRIGATION. Will Personally Visit Each of States to Learn Local Conditions. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Oct 1. No official of the Govern ment Is taking a more Intense Interest in the new irrigation law, and the develop ments that are to be made under its pro vision?, than Director C. D. Walcott, of the Geological Survey. Under the terms of the bill the surveys are being made by Geological Survey parties to determine what sites are best adapted to immediate use in the construction of Government ir rigation systems. F. H. Newell, chief hydrographer, has immediate supervision, and has heretofore been in charge of this line of field work. However, Director Walcott. after looking over the responsi bilities that fall on his bureau, determined to get in closer touch with the Western States, where irrigation Is to be devel oped. He has been spending several monthi In the field, and before returning to Washington expects to visit every Westtrn State. He makes this trip to familiarize himself with the local condi tions, so that, In passing upon the reports that are made by the field parties, he may the better Judge of their respective merits. Mr. Walcott's specialty heretofore has been along strictly geological lines, but he has determined to become as proficient in hydrographlc matters as possible. Minncsotans on Way to Denver.

RANCHER SHOT TO DEATH FATAL QUARREL OVER LIVESTOCK IN CROOK COUNTY. Mnn Who Did theShootlns Rode 40 Miles to Report and Surrender to the Sheriff. . PRINEVILLE. Or.. Oct. 5. (Special.)

NEED OF LARGER SUPREME BENCH. Much Work for Washington Court Politics of Judges. OLYMPIA. Wash.. Oct. 5. (Special.) The docket which has just been com pleted for the Fall term of the Supreme Court shows that 125 cases will be heard. The term will begin October 13 and end November 25. During this term there will be again but five Justices on the Supreme Bench. The terms to which Justices Hiram E. Had ley and William H. White were appointed by the late Governor Rogers, under the temporary increase law of the last Leg islature, will expire next Tuesday. The members of the Supreme Bench and the bar of the state seem to be unan imous In the opinion that the Legisla ture of 1901 should have made the increase I to seven Justices a permanent' one, in stead of for only two years. A great deal of back work -has been disposed of, but the work of the court is Increasing so rapidly that there is little promise that five Justices can handle it all. It Is said that the business before the Supreme Court of Washington is fully equal 1p volume to the same class of work in other states where an Appellate Court, In addition to the Supreme Court, is pro vided to take care of certain classes of work. There Is no Appellate Court of this character in Washington,, eo the Su preme Court is compelled to take care ot It all. These matters will undoubtedly be presented to the next Legislature and a permanent Increase asked for.
