WILSON GAINS IN THE STATE
Struggle Between Main Candidates
Has a Personal ElementLate
Tacoma State Senator Will
Be Missed in Politics.
TACOMA, Wash., Nov. 13. (Special.)
Politicians have gossiped and speculated
for two days over the effect of State Sen
ator Ed S. Hamilton's death upon the
next Senatorial fight. The question has
been considered according to the pref
erences of the politicians, hut to a cer
tain extent the effect is easily forecasted.
It makes Senator Foster a formidable
possibility.
There is nothing of disrespect in drifting
Into a discussion of political effect from
a receipt of the news of Hamilton's death,
for the man's forceful character .had in
jected his personality Into the political af
fairs of the state so thoroughly that ono
cannot reflect upon the loss of his friend
ship without considering tho effect of the
loss of his political power.
And when Hamilton tho man dropped
out, taking Hamilton the politician with
fclra, it left to fill, in some extent, the
acant place, Foster.
Gossip Concerning Succession.
Tuesday and "Wednesday gossip in Ta
coma veered between a new Senatorial
candidate and a prediction that Wilson
would fall heir to Pierce County's sup
port. Neither conclusion Is logical. The
fight that Hamilton would have made in
Pierce would have been directed against
Foster.
He would, it is likely, have won be
cause of his great ability as an organizer
and his personal magnetism. Men were
accustomed to follow his leadership, or,
rather, as ho would have had it, to go
with him and Foster could hardly have
carried Pierce County against him.
But there Is no one left in Pierce who
can successfully dispute Foster's claim to
this county's support for United States
Senator. Possibly Cushman might with
Ms hold upon the masses cripple Foster,
but it would be political suicide for Cush
man to attempt it, and Cushman is too
eager for political preferment to under
take any radical step.
Leaves Foster in Strong Position.
Foster has all the prestige that follows
the man in ofllce. There are many in
Pierce who, inclined to support Hamilton,
doubted the logic of the change, insisting
Foster as tho Senator was stronger
than tho new and untried candidate.
Against any new man this sentiment
would be overwhelming.
Moreover a suspicion as to the sincerity
of a new candidacy would be certain to
develop that could not be shaken off. And
there is no strong personality in Pierce
County politics that could force itself to
the front in a Senatorial contest, despite
roster's weakness as a politician. So far
as Pierce is concerned, the death of Ham
ilton means an elimination of the fight
against Foster's effort to succeed himself.
The degree of enthusiasm with which
Foster will bo supported is dependent
upon circumstances. Foster is not gen
erally known among tho voters, and he is
not an especially good mixer among the
politicians. But if Pierce makes up its
mind that the Scnatorship must be re
tained, Foster will get a determined dele
gation. There is not the slightest ques
tion but that other candidates will have.
In the meantime, sounded many of the
Pierce County men upon their second
choice, but this would probably have been
the case In tho event of a Hamilton vic
tory. Hamilton Hoped to Get Control.
Hamilton had hoped to be in control or
at least joint control of the delegation to
the state convention. He Intended, of
urse, to carry out tho instructions of
his home county regarding any candidate
that might be Indorsed, but Hamilton
hoped, in the meantime, to prevent any
alliances that would Injure his Senatorial
candidacy. Foster naturally must expect
to occupy tho same position.
"When the fight against Cushman was
called off in Pierce County, it was ac
knowledged that he could not be beaten at
home without sacrificing everything else
to that offort. It was conceded an in
dorsement of Cushman would follow and
the faction here opposed to him has been
content with a promise that its interests
will not be jeopardized by the Congress
man. If Fostor attempted to dictate the per
sonnel of tho state delegation he would
fall, and it is more than likely that the
happier compromise will be made of per
mitting Cushman to carry away these
delegates and Foster to namo tho mem
bers of the Legislature. The state delega
tion, of course, will not be a railway com
mission delegation of tho character of
tho last one, but it will be composed of
Cushman men. In this respect Foster will
not be quite as strong as Hamilton would
have been.
Lumbermen Believe In Senator.
Flnccre support that Hamilton lacked.
The lumbermen are determined In their
advocacy of his election. The lumbermen
Insist upon retaining the protective tar
iff on timber products, and they hold Fos
ter being a lumberman Is safer than any
other candidate. This faith has not, thus
far. been shaken. Then, too, Foster has
a strength won by patronage, prestige and
friendship that will stay with him in a
Senatorial contest.
A prominent Northwestern politician
revealed something of tho effect of Hamil
ton's brief but energetic campaign today
when he declared that not until Hamil
ton's death was It known that Hamilton
had gained a strenth in his county that
practically assured him of control. This
Mdflen support was revealed when Hamil
ton's friends-were made free to take up
a new course. It is unquestionably true
that Hamilton had made friends In most
of the sections he visited, and politicians
concede that his strength at least equaled
that of Foster's, giving each Pierce
CoUnty as a basis for their fight That
would take them to the Legislature on
even terms. If the two aro to bo com
pared. Man of Great Personal Force.
In a legislative fight, Hamilton was
unquestionably Foster's master. Ho was
resourceful. Intuitive, quick, forceful and
had a strong personal magnetism. More
over, he was of the Legislature and
fromjhe inside felt that ho had an added
influence. Hamilton, of course, expected
to associate with himself clever political
manipulators, but his -own personality
would have counted for most in tho con
test. Foster must depend upon the work of
his friends. He is a business man who,
though somewhat of a polltlclan'ln Minne
sota, did not mix in Washington affairs
until he was made Senator. He ad
mitted a few welts ago that he could
not handle his own fight and in tho
Legislature he will be handicapped, when
compared to Hamilton, by the fact that
others will have to do his work. Of
course, he will have more money to
spend than Hamilton -would have had,
and Foster has told friends he Intended
to conduct a more liberal campaign
than he did five Veara ago.
Put tho two men on even terms and
Hamilton "would have won. Substitute
Foster for Hamilton In the coming Sena
torial contest, and the question as to the
outcome depends entirely upon the sin
cere strength Foster-can muster before
tho session convenes. f
State Support Mainly to Wilson.
A certain portion of the support that
would have gone to Hamilton through
out the state will be iriven to Foster.
It is not likely Piles will get any of
It arid "Wilson will prabobly benefit most
Hamilton was before forced by Pierce
County Interests to break away, a "Wilson
admirer and many of the friends he
formed were also friendly to Wilson.
They will give Wilson their support now.
An Inclination has been manifested by
a largo element of the anti-Wilson fac
tion to heal up the breach, and Hamil
ton's death makes this easier.
The causes of the original fight -against
Wilson have been removed; heretofore
there has been a rallying ground for this
faction, but now that Is gone. More
over, Wilson has persistently pursued the
policy of making new friends and not
losing any of his old ones. For that
reason he wilt go Into the next fight
stronger than he could at any time dur
ing the past six years.
Outside of King County, Piles does not
appear to be a serious factor. At home
politicians sometimes mention Piles and
add that Preston Is his "residuary
legatee." If the King County Convention
does not instruct, and the legislative dele
gation does not get together, both Piles
and Wilson will have votes, but with
seven hold-over Senators behind him,
Wilson will have by far the majority.
The fight, from present Indications,
really lies between Wilson and Foster.
It might be asserted today that Wll
"son'sNchances are brighter, but politicians
would accept that statement or not, just
as their personal preferences for tho
two candidates dictated.
Wilson's Grievance Against Foster.
If Wilson and Foster do fight it out,
the contest will not be of the most friend
ly character. Wilson holds It against
Foster that the latter violated an agree
ment to support him as a reward for
the service Wilson did Foster by de
livering his strength and making Fos
ter's election possible. No one doubts
tho validity of that agreement, for Fos
ter has acknowledged it
Foster kept that story to himself, not
even telling his closest political advisers
that he had sighed away his support.
That he shortly thereafter began a cam
paign against Wilson is probably due to
the fact that his friends, not knowing
of the agreement, made It Impossible for
him to do otherwise. This basis for the
personal fight between tho two men will
make Wilson's an aggressive campaign
while Foster will probably be more or
less on the defensive."1
Effect on Tacoma Politics.
Aside from the Senatorial contest,
however, the loss of Senator Hamilton Is
one the state cannot replace. In his home
county It will be impossible to find a
second Ed Hamilton. The principal sup
port of the present city administration Is
lost and a. personality is missing from
county affairs that politicians will ap
preciate later.
With Hamilton, the Campbell adminis
tration had a comparatively easy time
of It ahead of them In naming the next
Mayor of Tacoma.
Hamilton and Campbell could have

Of these candidates Johnson Is tho
most forceful, Kandle the most popular,
Bedford the most cautious and Mc
Murray the most painstaking. In tho
event of the election of any, those who
come into contact with tho successful
man cannot help contrasting him with
Hamilton.
in county affairs Pierce will miss Hamil
ton, for there are few men who would
go to the front to stand m the brunt of
a fight as he did. He was easily tho
leader of the last state Legislature; the
most prominent man In either branch.
So he was at the preceding session,
where he, single-handed, won the reap
portionment fight against King County.
At that. King County was right and
Hamilton wrong, but Hamilton was fight
ing for his political life, and he won.

Dr. Maker Started the Canard About
Treasure Expedition.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Nov. 13. (Spe
cial.) Dr. S. Maker, editor of the Dally
Sun, went to Portland today to consult
a specialist for heart trouble. Dr. Maker
is a local wit, and started the story in re
gard to an expedition being fitted up hero
by K. F. Falconer to go to an island off
the Mexican coast to search for gold.
The story Is purely a fake, and has
caused no end of annoyance to Mr. Fal
coner, hundreds of applications being
made to him daily by persons near and
remote Vwho desire to go to tho alleged
gold region. Mr. Falconer is an employe
of the Hayes & Hayes Bank, and Dr.
Maker and a number of friends started
the story to have fun with him. Fal
coner Is a good joker himself.

J. K. Patton, of the town of Otter, who
was shot by A. A. Armstrong, a neighbor,

Armstrong's house, when Armstrong
called to him that he was upon Arm
strong's land, and ordered him to cease
work.
Patton paid no attention to the order,
when Armstrong went to 'his house, a
quarter bf a mile away and procured a
rifle. Returning to the bank of the river,
he fired at Patton three times, missing
his victim each time.

WASHINGTON THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.
OLTMPIA, Wash., Nov. 13. (SpeciaL)-xOvernor McBride has is
sued the following Thanksgiving proclamation:
Proclamation by the Governor: Thursday, the 26th day of No

been designated as a day of festival and National thanksgiving.
In no state of the Union is there greater reason for a manifestation
of thankfulness than in Washington. (
Now, therefore, I, Henry McBride, Governor of the State of
Washington, in accordance -with custom and by virtue, of the power

November, 1903, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer throughout the
state, and do earnestly recommend that the people do cease from
their usual avocations and dedicate this day to deeds of charity and
brotherly love, and in their churches and their homes render praise
and thanksgiving unto the giver of all good for the many blessings

Without Hamilton, It Is doubtless true
that the liberal element, the Foster Re
in the state Foster has ono element ofJpubllcans, theantl-Campbell faction and
all those dissatisfied or ambitious, will
combine, against Campbell. Possibly he
can win, but certainly he has lost a
tower of strength.
In his own district, affairs will be In
a chaotic condition. Had Hamilton lived
Lee Van Slyke and either Harvey L.
Johnson or J. L. Murray would, have
gone to the lower house. Two of these
three may now be nominated, but there
will be a serious controversy over the
Senator's place. George B. Kandle, once
rated a McBride supporter, but now a
strong opponent of the Governor, is
likely to be a candidate.
Kandlo is pne of the oldest settlers

never lost his popularity. McMurray

Williamson Denies Persecu

NO HAND IN THEC0NR0Y CASE
Says He Will Leave Public Life and
Go Back to the Ranch If Ever
He Is Indicted on a
Similar Charge.
LA GRANDE, Or., Nov. 12. (Special.)
A letter on the Mood question, written
by Hon. J. N. Williamson at the House of
Representatives to Paul Delaney, was
published In tho Evening Chronicle and
reads as follows:
"I am in receipt of your kind letter of
October 30, containing editbrlal lnclosure.
"I am surprised that Mr. Moody should
undertake to-play upon the credulity of
the good people of Oregon, by posing as a
victim of the malice of his 'political ene
mies. " 'Political enemies,' presumably, of
course, means myself, as I am his arch
'political enemy,' having defeated him for
renomlnation.
"In this connection, I desire to remark
that I do not know Mrs. Conroy. I never
heard of such a woman in my life, until
a short time before the Grand Jury con
vened that indicted Mr. Moody. I never
wrote her a letter in my life, nor re
ceived one from her, nor had any com
munication with her whatever. I never
spoke to Prosecuting Attorney Hall upon
the subject In my life, nor wrote a line to
hlm'on the subject, nor received one from
him. I am only slightly acquainted with
two members of the grand jury that In
dicted Mr. Moody. I never spoke a word,
wrote a line, nor received a letter from a
single one of them on the subject. In
fact, I was In Crook county when the
grand jury convened, attending to my per
sonal affairs, and when through there,
went directly to The Dalles, bundled my
family up and started for Washington,
and never heard of the proceedings of the
grand jury until the day after I arrived
here.
"I have never at any time suggested to,
or advised any one, to get up any prose
cution against Mr. Moody, or any other
man before the United States grand jury.
v'Under the circumstances, can it be pos
Blle that Mr. Moody, assisted by a news
paper or two, can make the good people of
Oregon believe that his troubles with the
United States courts are all brought about
by his 'political enemies,' presumably
headed by myself. No such a thing seems
ridiculous and impossible. I will never be
lieve it can be dono until I see It done.
"The fact of my being indirectly ac
cused of persecuting my predecessor. Is
sufficient cause, I take it, for my making
just ono brief deduction concerning such
a defense, and that is this: Whenever my
own 'political enemies' become so numer
ous and so powerful as to cause a grand
jury of my own citizens from my own
native s,tate, after hearing my side of tho
case, to find a true indictment against me
for rifling the United States mails and us
ing information gained thereby to rob a
defenseless widow, I will then and there
throw up the sponge, retire from public
life and go back to the ranch.

CUBED THEM BOTH
FISHERMEN LOST IN RIVER.
Boat Disappears in Fierce Gale of
Wednesday Night.
ASTORIA. Or., Nov. 13. (Special.)
Charles Erlckson and Henry Sture, two
fishermen living at Blind Slough, have
been missing since last Tuesday night,
and it is feared both have been drowned.
On that day they came to Astoria and

LAND CASES AT OREGON CITY.
Erlckson Loses Siletz Claim-Miller
Granted a Rehearing.
OREGON CITY, Nov. 13. (Special.)
The General Land Office has sustained
the contest of Ingram vs. Erlckson, In
volving a homestead In the Siletz coun
try. Ingram contested the claim of
Erlckson on the grounds that the claim
ant owned more than 160 acres of land
when the homestead filing was made. A
decision covering the subject was received
today by J. W. Draper, attorney for the
contestant. Thl3 Is the first time for
years that this question has been raised
in connection with a homestead entry at
the Oregon City Land Office. Tho de
partment holds "that the ownership of
more than 160 acres of land forfeits the
right of any advantages under the home
stead act.
Word was today received by Hedges &
Galloway, attorneys for John B. Miller,
from the General Land Office, by which
tho action of the local Land Office In
holding Miller's claim for cancellation is
overruled and granting Miller a rehear
ing. When Miller made the filing on the
land, which is located In Linn County,
he gave Everett, Wash., as his place of
residence. Before final proof was mado
by Miller, a contest was filed by Steve
Logan and notice was forwarded to Miller
at Everett. The letter was unclaimed at
Everett and being returned to the Land
Office here. Miller's claim was canceled.
On the strength of an affidavit by Miller.
In which hfc sets forth that he held a legal
residence on the premises and made all
required improvements and cultivated the
land Included by the homestead, the Gen
eral Land Office holds that Miller Is en
titled to present his side of the case. A
rehearing of the contest has been ordered.

The City Council of John Day has made
a raid on tho Chinese opium joints and
given warning that if the practice of
using the drug is any longer permitted

opium Joints and given the drug, the
Council determined to put a stop to the
business.
One of the Celestials most seriously
offending tried to evade the consequences
by claiming he could not talk. He was

road leads from town and told that It
was his to travel if any more complaints
came to the Council concerning his den.

STORY OF A HAPPY MOTHER.
"Weatherford, Texas, May 14, 1908.
Before my baby was born I was in great misery. I hardly felt able to walk when I would have to get out o bed in the
morning and would be so dirzy that everything would be black before me for several minutes, when. I would have the moat
terrific Backachea. I was just able to be about but just as soon as I began to take Wine of Cardul, which had been recom
mended to me,.l felt much better. In fact I feel that if it bad not been for this medicine l would not have
been strong enough to live through childbirth. But that was made comparatively easy by taking your
medicine for four months before Daby came. "Wine of Cardui restored my r . -
health as I took it for two months afterward. I cannot speak too highly of rfc J; r h-

fected. It cures nineteen out of every twenty cases of bearing down pains or ovarian trouble and has often been
known to completely cure chronic and so-called incurable cases.
Wine of Cardui cures barrenness and aids the mother in conserving her strength for the ordeal of childbirth.
After that event the Wine prevents dangerous flooding and helps mothers to quick recovery. Wine of Cardui ii
the one medicine a mother should use before and after childbirth.
All druggists sell $1.00 bottles Wine of Cardui.
