POKER IS . 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.

Corvallls Ministers Make Statement
of Passage-at-Words in Meeting.
CORVALLIS, Or.. Feb. 11. (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.. Feb. 12. (Special.) Today, at their home. 507 South Tenth street. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel A. Hodsdon
celebrated the 50th anniversary of rhelr marriage. Mr. Hodgdon was bom on January 23, 1S29, at North Barnstead, N. H.,
and Hannah E. Jenkins was bora on May 31. 1S2T. at Center Barnstead. N. H. The house was artistically decorated, the golden
effect predominating, and a very large gathering of Hoqolam society was present. The reception was from 7 till 10.
They were united In marriage at Dover. N. H., by Rev. James K. Pike, on February 12. 1654. and after a short visit with
relatives in New Hampshire, went to Wet Chazy, N. T. In 1SC3. they removed to Ellensburr, where Mr. Hodgdon was en
gaged In the manufacture of lumber, being superintendent of the mills at that place until- 1S70. when he returned to New
Hampshire, taking the old farm.
In 1S76. Mr. Hodgdon was a member of the Constitutional Convention of that state, and served two terms in the State
Legislature. In 1SSO they sold their interests in New Hampshire and removed to the State of Iowa. In 1S&I, they removed to
Hequlam. where they have since resided.
Three children have been born to them, and all are now living. A. S. Hodgdon. the eldest, having been a resident of Ho

1690. A. E. Hodgdon and his wife are visiting their parents, to be present" at the anniversary, the entire family being together
for the first time in 20 years.
and to enlighten these people upon thgse
things, and Dr. Driver also, if necessary,
so that he would not go elsewhere and
make the same mistake; thea without
qualifications, he chargej; Dr.Driver with
backing down when challenged .to a de

ministers, the first of last month, and
added' also that he could prove it
Third That while Dr. Driver, under the
provocation of such a charge, replied in
no uncertain language and with no dan

contraries cannot both be true.

Episcopal Church, Frank L. Moore, who
was presiding, being a much younger man,
than Dr. Driver, did not undertake to
tell Dr. "Driver what he must or "musg

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,

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

he heard Wilson stumble. As he turned
he saw his friend's body disappear he
tween the ties. Wilson made no outcry as
he went down. He had evidently been
stunned by the force of the blow when his
head hit the tics.
In vain Via cried out t6 his Companion.

banks of the river, and search was Imme
diately commenced. The river is very full
now. it was quite dark and It was a diffi

to the stream's level.
On a crossbeam In the superstructure of
the bridge was found the lost youth's hat.
No trace of the body could be found,
though diligent search -was made.

The local Typographical Union today
called a strike and the members of the

to by the three operators employed by
