THE ONLY GAME License Given Is Believed to Be a Bid of Campbell to Steal Fawcett's Campaign Ammunition in His Fight for Mayoralty. TACOMA, Wash., Feb. 12--SpecIal.)-Tacoma has as little regard for the gambling felony act as Seattle and Spo jcane are popularly believed to entertain. There has hardly been a tkne since gambling was made a felony that It has been Impossible to get a game of poker at many of the downtown clubs, but the game -has been played cautiously, and as a rule some effort has been made to keep the location of the game concealed. With a municipal campaign approach ing, caution has been thrown to the winds and poker games are running as openly In Tacoma as they were before the last legislature put a ban on bank games. Tables are running In charge of a bank er In all those downtown saloons that afford any degree of privacy to their pa Irons; Just the same degree that. In the old days, was afforded for roulette, faro lnd kindred forms of gambling. Mayor Campbell's renomlnation most bit terly, and the one that Fawcett depends upon for his selection. Campbell's administration , has never been very popular with the liberal ele ment. His Chief of Police has made trouble ever since Campbell first went Into office. In the beginning it was through petty annoyances, and more re cently the Chief of Police has caused trouble by a rigid enforcement of the laws. The liberal element was rounded up In Campbell's behalf two years ago on pledgee that Campbell's Chief of Police, William Fackler, would be turned down when he asked for reappointment. But the majority In Campbell's favor was so large that the Mayor believed his Chief of Payee, against whom a fight had been made, was entitled to the credit of an indorsement and Fackler has been in charge of the department ever since. This appointment, which the liberal element regards as a breach of faith, has created a soreness that time will not wear off. Fawcett Satisfactory to Saloons. Fawcett, during his previous adminis tration, was perfectly satisfactory to the liberal element. He permitted open gam bling, and he did not hamper the saloon with too many regulations. When his campaign for Mayor was Inaugurated he began his fight with a reasonable cer- luimy uiai ne coma depend upon the 11b f??ljto' t0 - help hax And.it has beon The reopening of some forms of public gambling Is Interprets as a result by politicians to be a strong bid for the vote that Fawcett depends upon. It is Insisted that Campbell's administrative officers have passed the tip down the line that the gamblers will not bo dis turbed, and that the conditions which exist now will be tolerated in the event the Mayor Is re-elected. There is not much reason to believe that this policy Mill win the saloon vote. The saloonmen and gamblers are accept ing their bit of luck without comment. They regard the circumstance that gam bling is tolerated as a bid for their sup port, and believe that a reversal of policy would follow Campbell's re-election. As a result. It would be hard to find where Fawcett has lost or Campbell gained any strength from the tolerance granted gam bling. Faith of Church in Campbell. In the meantime the so-called church vote Is pinning its faith on Campbell. Ten days ago a local pastor denounced those who had failed to give Campbell credit for suppressing gambling. This preacher Insisted that the present Mayor had won a fight for decency, and that he was being denied the credit by his ene mies. No one can charge directly that Camp bell actually, knew of It, but the fact remains that when this strong sermon on Campbells policy was preached gam bling was flourishing in the downtown sa loons. If an attempt was made to sup press it. that attempt was very weak, for there was no effort then or now to conceal the true state of affairs. Now Fawcett men propose to tell the church people the story of the gambling situation. They are attempting to keen the newspaper out of the municipal fight, entirely, and are spreading their own version of the gambling privilege The story loses nothing In the telling. Campbell's Appointees Unpopular. Tho fight of Campbell and Fawcett for the Republican nomination has grown even more bitter than had been anticipated. The feeling against Campbell Is not directed so much toward himself as toward two of his appointees, the Chief of Police and Com missioner of Public Works, who have made his administration whatever It is. The fact that the Commissioner of Pub lic Works Is now being censured so severe ly is interesung in view of the fact that up to a short time ago he was the most popular man in the administration. His unpopularity is traceable largely to the enforcementof administration policies, par ticularly In the electric light fights that have Involved the city for three years. Fawcetfs weakest point Is his recent conversion to Republicanism and his own administration while a Democrat. His ad ministration was as full of scandals as Campbell's Is now declared to be. for it was during Fawcett's term of office that a vault In the City Council chamber was Broken into and ballot boxes, containing disputed ballots, destroyed; the town was n Jed with criminals attracted by the Klon dike rush and the Public Works Depart ment Involved In trouble. Fawcett. too. bao! a civil service commission to contend with, and this commission was marked oy removals, charges of graft and a Coun cil investigation. Split May Follow Convention. ofT"5eso matters are being rehearsed "isan politics has been intro S.a"a conditions are ripe for a split to fallow the municipal convention. It might be tnat a sufficient number of Republicans will, accept the convention's verdict to save the ticket, but the Democrats, who have beon hopelessly out of it for several years, are picking strong candidates to take (advantage of the factional troubles of the Republicans. Campbell Is apt to be surprised by some of the results in the resident wards. His followers have counted strongly upon Faw cetfs past weakness In this district and have paid too little attention to strength ening their position, in the meantime Fawcetfs supporters have quietly carried the war into Campbell's own territory and VsSHHHsiMsWswHllBisiHBIfff are claiming delegations that have hereto fore stood by any policy Mayor Campbell has seen fit to adopt. Efforts at Harmony Useless. Party workers not bound by ties to either candidate have attempted to harmonize the differences by picking out a compro mise candidate, but efforts have failed. There is hardly any prospect of any men other than Campbeil and -Fawcett going before the Republican convention. Tacoma elects Its municipal officers in April. There is yet plenty of lime for changes in the line-up to be worked out, but If affairs drift as they have been going for the past few weeks the nomina tion of Fawcett is practically Impossible for Campbell to prevent. The grounds for complaint against Campbell are recent and therefore magnified readily by polit ical workers. Moreover, Fawcett has a good organiza tion, while Campbell's management hardly realizes the extent of the fight they will have to make. Neither the Money Nor the Girl. ASTORIA, Or., Feb. 12. (Special.) Matt Mattson was arrested last evening on the charge of insanity and was examined be fore the County Board this morning.

(To the Edi torsInasmuch as various erroneous state ments are going the rounds as to what took place in an afternoon meeting In the Methodist Episcopal Church at Corvallls, we, the ministers of Corvallls who were present, deem It but just to make a sim ple statement of facts. First The afternoon meeting referred to was purely a devotional meeting, no controversial points referring to the Campbolllte Church in particular being touched upon. Second As the meeting was about to close, Mr. Handsacker, pastor of the Cazapbelllte Church, requested the privi lege of saying a word, which request was granted by the pastor presiding; but In stead of speaking to any of the subjects presented at that meeting or referred to in Dr. Driver's controversial lectures pre viously given, he committed a breach of ministerial courtesy and abused the privi lege granted. In making a personal attack upon Dr. Driver, saying he wished to cor rect some, things he understood were be lng circulated concerning their teachings. . MR. AND MRS. S. A. HODGDOX. HOQUIAM, -Wash..

Dr; Driver at, CorvalUs. . . . . , . , vj- At ine ciose oi two weesa oi lectures in- the Methodist Episcopal Church at Cor vallls last Sunday evening, the following resolution was offered by a prominent at torney, a member of the Presbyterian Church: "Whereas. It has pleased God In His wisdom and mercy to permit His servant whom w.e honor as the theological lion of the Pacific Coast, Dr. L D. Driver, to de clare and expound to us the scripture with power and understanding unequaled, and to the great benefit of the people of Corvallls, "Whereas, We desire to express to him a sense of our appreciation of his labors In our behalf, therefore, be It "Resolved, That we, citizens of Cor vallls, Oregon, do hereby return to our brother, Dr. I. D. Driver, our sincere thanks for his labors with us and for us during the past two weeks." The above was adopted by a rising vote of from 400 to 500 people, members of the various churches, and many citizens not members of any church. As a further indication of the value placed upon these lectures, one week ago Sunday evening, the pastors of the Pres byterian. Congregational. Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and the United Evangelical Churches, voluntarily "with drew their evening services and with their congregations joined in the Driver meet ings. It Is due to all concerned that some facts be given concerning the statements and Inferences given In the article in The Oregonlan of February 9. First, let It be said that Dr. Drlyerhas not made "vari ous minor attacks"' upon the'aoctrlnes of the Campbelllte Church. Is there no right of defense with an Individual. or a church? Let anyone desiring to know the facts ask scores of citiaei4s of Corvallls not members of any churcjh. Has there not been la. series . Of attacks during the last f ewyefir by the represen tatives of the Cmpbclllto organization, unchristlanizlng the Hteabers of the vari ous churches and, persuading various ones to leave their ch'urch home 'and Join with them? When Dr. Driver came to Corvallls to lecture, he was- requested to give hl3 series of lectures in defense of the posi tion of these anathematized churches, which he consented to do. Christian unity, however, doesn't seem to be at all disturbed so long as these anathema tized churches consider forbearance a vir tue, frank: L. MOORE. Pastor of M. B. Church.
