Mead and McBride Forces to
Line Up Sharply Against
Each Other.
MEAD TO OPEN AT HOME
1YH1 Start Campaign In Whatcom.
McBride Faction Is Organizing
and Working Hard, and Lines
Are Being Closely. Drawn.
SEATTLE, "Wash., June 7. (Special.)
Whatcom County -will be the principal
battle ground in Gubernatorial politics
on the "West Side. While there will be a
scattering vote for other candidates the
campaign in "Whatcom will have to be
eettled between Henry McBride and Gor
ernor A. B. Mead, lust as it was four
years ago. The anti-Mead organization
In "Whatcom wants to carry the Gov
ernor's home county against him and to
do so it is necessary to unite upon Mc
Bride. As the fight grows warmer the
line in "Whatcom County politics between
the Mead and McBride factions is being:
drawn more sharply.
It Is too early to weigh the claims of
the two factions accurately but there is
no question now but that McBride will
have at least 40 per cent of the vote in
Mead's county. Some of the radical
McBride men claim the ex-Governor will
carry the district, but this is more than
should be conceded at present. The Mead
claims of an overwhelming vote should
be discounted as liberally as one dis
counts the contentions of the opposition.
Mead to Open Campaign at Home.
Mead is going to open his campaign at
home and efforts have been made by the
McBride following to get the ex-Governor
into Belllngham as soon after the
National Convention as possible. Because
of other speaking engagements McBride
will not go into Whatcom County before
the second week in June, but he will
make a personal canvass there later.
J. H. Bloedell, a prominent lumberman,
will head the McBride organization in
Whatcom. Of the three daily newspapers
in Belllngham, two are supporting Mc
Bride and one is for Mead. The weekly
and country press is divided between the
two candidates. B. B. Deming, the most
prominent canneryman on the Sound, is
out openly for McBride now. State Sena
tor R. L. Kline, who had a clear ma
jority over two Mead senatorial candi
dates in Belllngham two years ago, is at
the front in the McBride fight and ex
State Fish Commissioner Tim Kershaw,
Hugh Eldridge, F. K. Wood, Michael
Earles, W. R. Moultray, and a score of
other prominent Whatcom County poli
ticians are in a hard and fast McBridte
organization. A McBride Glub with 60
prominent business men at the head and
as many of the voters as possible en
rolled is in process of formation. Head
quarters have been opened and a big
electric sign proclaims the fact that Mc
Bride is in the Whatcom County fight.
Skagit Is fop McBride.
Though H. A. Fairchild. chairman of
the State Railroad Commission, is the
figurative head of the Mead organization
In Whatcom, politicians regard J. J. Don
ovan, ex-railroad man and capitalist, as
the greatest element of strength In the
Governor's fight. With him he has Clint
Howard, E. W. Purdy and a dozen men
who have been good in convention fights
but are untried in the new direct primary
school of politics.
There is no question about Skagit
County's giving McBride a clear majority
over all other gubernatorial candidates.
Though McBride has not been an active
resident of Skagit since he succeeded
Governor John R. Rogers. Skagit is as
loyal to him as it was when the county
was electing McBride to the Superior
Court bench. It is conceded the question
in Skagit is merely one of majorities.
Cos grove in Snohomish.
S. G. Cosgrove got. an early start in
Snohomish County and was making good
headway before the McBride organization
started. Judge Denny, an "organiza-
tlon" man, introduced Cosgrove in Ever
ett and while he did not collect a great
many pledges of support, he left behind
him a favorable impression. Everett is
the doubtful quantity in Snohomish
County, for the outside districts are
swayed largely by the lumber interests,
which are solidly in favor of McBride's
nomination. In Everett a fight for State
Senator, between Joe .Irving and J. . A.
Falconer, overshadows state politics.
Practically all the Irving following is
with McBride and the ex-Governor has a
good show for support in the Falconer
crowd. If surface indications go for
much, the fight in Snohomish is more be
tween McBride and Cosgrove than be
tween any of the other candidates, and
McBride at present certainly has all the
better of it.
Pledges for McBride in King.
McBride is the only gubernatorial candi
date who has attempted systematic work
In King. He has a good central organ
ization here but has scarcely started on
a ward and precinct line-up. The McBride
club in King has a list of workers out
seeking individual pledges of support.
During the past week these pledges have
been coming in at the rate of more than
100 a day. That average has been kept
up for Homo time, but even the McBride
workers know it cannot last long for if
it did the entire voting population would
soon be worked out. However, there Is
a great deal of significance in the fact
that practically all the commitments on
gubernatorial policies in King County are
now in favor of McBride.
Mead to Organize in King.
The Mead following held a conference
in Seattle during fleet week and determ
ined to choose an executive committee
of seven, which is expected to open head
quarters here. If the Mead organization
begins a campaign in King, some changes
may be worked out. Cosgrove has a fol
lowing, particularly among Grand Army
men. that must be considered locally. If
the Senatorial campaign is ever injected
into the gubernatorial light, something that
the Piles-Ankeny men are trying to avoid,
local conditions might be subject to
change. But through all speculation about
possible complications must run the con
viction that McBride's early work will
commit a majority to his .candidacy.
The McBride following- in Pierce
County is anticipating- a' Mead cam
paign and attempting to organize a
McBride club at once. In the Puyallup
Valley lists have been circulated act
ively for two weeks. Buckley is almost
solidly lined up" for McBride and
Puyallup is strong- in his Interests.
The coal towns are being- canvassed
thoroughly and the showing thus far
is that McBride has a good plurality
over other candidates. In Tacoma and.
the "shoestring" end of the county the
work has not been so thorough. Pierce
County politicians claim chey will
launch a McBride club within a week
with a membership of 2000 and If they
do they will be in the fight before any
wHATCOM
BE BATTLEGROUND
of the other gubernatorial candidates
get on an organized basis.
Pierce Debatable Ground.
In Pierce County they go down to
precinct organization first and that is
helping the McBride fight for it means
that whatever is done, the precinct
organization will be behind it. There
are more prominent State appointees
hailing from Pierce than from any
other county in the State, something
that would Indicate Mead had a good
foothold. At the same time the Union
Veteran's Union, which has been doing
strong work for Cosgrove, has a big
influence upon Pierce County politii1?.
The county rightfully belongs in the
list of debatable territory, despite all
the claims made by various factions.
Newspaper influence Is apt to be for
Mead but In the past few years news
paper Influence in Pierce has not been
thrown to the winners. Colonel W. M.
RIdpath has an uncertain foothold in
Pierce and there is an Atkinson follow
ing yet impossible to estimate. At
the outset it would appear that (tie
fight for a plurality would be between
McBride and M-ead, but this condition
can easily be changed.
Thurston Strongly for Mea2.
Thurston is regarded as the county
In Western Washington where Mead's
support starts in with a clear lead.
Thurston pledged Its votes to Mead
when -the present Governor vetoed a
capital removal bill in 1905. Some
Thurston County politicians believe the
debt was paid when the county en
dorsed him In the last Republican con
vention and they are willing to quit.
How generally this feeling will prevail
is undetermined.
The influence of the statehouse
crowd Is going to have the effect In
Thurston of badly splitting the politics

paign Forces In Washington.
of that county. Two gubernatorial
candidates, Mead and Atkinson, reside
in Olympia now. Cosgrove has a wide
acquaintance in Olympia and McBride
spent three years as Governor in the
capital. All these circumstances tend
to equalize the effect of a personal
acquaintance and the rest depends upon
organization. Newspaper influence is
with Mead but McBride is strongest
with the more prominent Republicans.
Millmen for McBride.
Jefferson, Island, Kitsap, Clallam and
San Juan Counties have scarcely been
touched by gubernatorial politics. . In
all these counties the influence of the
big millmen Is strong and they are
with McBride. In Kitsap a friendship
for Mead through' the location of a
branch soldiers' home at Port Orchard
and Senator H. W. Condon's appoint
ment on the state commission for the
Alaska-Yukon-Paclfic Exposition will
have an influence, but word has been
brought to Seattle that none of the
Kitsap Influences naturally attracted
to Mead for such reasons will be active
In the fight.
Mason County is generally conceded
to McBride because of the open and
active support of the prominent timber
interests. In Chehalis County both fac
tions have offered to support the ex
Governor and McBride has been asked
to open the campaign before the
Youg Men's Republican Club. Lewis
County Is reported from both politi
cians and traveling men to ehow a
McBride leaning, and the same is true
in Clark County, where the old Mc
Bride organization has been strength
ened by the addition of the men who
fought him four years ago. J. G. Meg
ler told the delegates who attended the
Spokane convention that McBride
would easily carry Wahkiakum Coun
ty. Complication in Cowlitz.
There is a peculiar complication In
Cowlitz, growing out of an opposition
to some of the McBride leaders which
the ex-Governor's friends believe will
be straightened out. McBride always
had Cowlitz' support when he wanted
it. and his friends count upon it now.
In Pacific reports of a McBride ma
jority are numerous. For all that
there is a strong Atkinson sentiment
in Pacific that must be counted upon.
Skamania will be largely McBride, and
the two factions that have fought in
Klickitat for years are both agreed
upon McBride.
Though it is now three months be
fore the primary election, reports from
the entire western part of the state
indicate McBride will carry this sec
tion of the state by a good plurality.
One of the provisions of Washington's
direct primary law is that first choice
votes shall nominate if 40 per cent or
more of the vote is polled by the lead
ing candidate. On the basis of early
reports McBride ought to have more
than the 40 per cent requirement in
Western Washington.

SECRET LYMAHHIED
Famous California Millionaire
Weds Alma de Bretteville
in Philadelphia.
DISCOVERED BY ACCIDENT
Friends See Couple on Pier in Xew
York About to Board Steamer for
Honeymoon Trip to Europe.
Marriage Profound Secret.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 7' (Special)
Adolph Spreckels, bachelor, millionaire,
yatchman and breeder of fine horses,
has been married.
Miss Alma DeBrettevllle, famed for
her beauty, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
V. De Bretteville, old residents of San
Francisco, is the bride.
The ceremony was performed in
Philadelphia last month at the home
of Miss De Bretteville's aunt. The
news has just been made public by
friends who met the couple in New
York prior to therr sailing for Europe
on a honeymoon that may take them
to the farthest ends of the earth.
The marriage was a secret. Even the
closest friends of the millionaire partner
in the John D. Spreckels Company knew
nothing of it, and there is doubt if the
members of the Spreckels family were
aware that Adolph Spreckels had taken a
wife.
Secret Guarded Jealously.
Not long" ago Spreckels left his country
home near Napa for Philadelphia. It was
thought that he was making one of his
usual business trips East. He was fol
lowed shortly afterward . by Alma de
Bretteville. There, in her aunt's home,
the ceremony was performed.
Even then the secret was guarded with
the greatest care. No word was sent by
Spreckels to this city. The couple left
for New York, and, had some friends not
met them there, it is probable they would
have 6ailed for the Continent and San
Francisco people been none the wiser.
Alma De Bretteville is almost as well
known to San Francisco as the man who
became her husband in Philadelphia. Late
In 1901 San Francisco society was startled
by the announcement of a breach of
promise suit commenced by Miss De
Bretteville against Charles Anderson,
the miner who came out of the Klondike
laden with Alaskan gold. ,
Given Verdict Against Anderson.
According to the evidence which came
out In the trial of the suit, Anderson was
an ardent suitor for the beautiful girl's
hand. For a time things went well be
tween them, but suddenly difference
arose which tlnaliy brougnt miss De
Bretteville and Anderson and the whole
story of their romance into the white
light of newspaper publicity.
Anderson pictured himself as the one
who allowed Miss De Bretteville to do
the courting, but the jury gave her the
verdict for $1250, which was taken by
those who followed the case as a com
plete vindication of her story of the
whirlwind lovemaking of Klondlker
Anderson.
ARRESTED AFTER A YEAR
Man Caught in Ritzville for Crime
Done in Arkansas.
RITZVILLE, Wash., June 7. (Spe
cial.) Robert Threel was arrested at
Llnd on June 1 on a charge of mur
der committed a year ago in February
in Bentonville, Ark. He was held in
jail until Sheriff Gilson returned last
night from .California, stoutly deny
ing that he was the man wanted in
Arkansas, but after an hour's sweat
ing this morning and being confronted
with letters he had written and photo
graphs of the man wanted in the East,
he broke down and cried like a child,
and said he was the man wanted. The
Sheriff from Bentonville is on his way
here, but the washout has delayed him.
Threel gave his name at first as Ar
thur James. He has a wife here, and
they have been in the vicinity of Othel
lo In this county for the past year,
where he has worked at the carpenter
trade, but has kept In seclusion as
much as possible. He told Gilson that
he had known him ever since he came
to the country, and had made up his
mind not to be arrested without a bat
tle, but' when he was arrested by Al
Hass he was preparing to leave and
take his wife. He cut a man all to
pieces, it is alleged, but he says the
man lived some weeks.
CHINAMAN'S VICTIM DEAD
Clyde Wilson Succumbs to Bullet of
Enraged Laundrjman.
FOREST GROVE. Or., June 7 (Spe
cial.) Clyde Wilson, who shot
through the neck one week . ago last
night by Quong Lee, a Chinese laundry
man, died of his wounds this morning at
6 o'clock. His body was taken to the
undertaker's establishment, where a post
mortem examination was held. The Chi
naman was released without bonds only
yesterday, but it is understood that he
will be rearrested and the charge of man
slaughter lodged against him.
Wilson was shot while attempting to
enter his wash-house for the purpose of
drinking beer and eating a lunch Wilson
had with him. The Chinaman tells a
different story, that he had been molest
ed several times during the evening and
that his door was bombarded with beer
bottles, breaking the lock and tearing out
a panel, through which he fired two
srfbts. one hitting Wilson in the neck.
Wilson will be buried tomorrow.

WALLACE, Idaho, June 7. (Special.)
There is no prospect of the Northern Pa
cific getting its Wallace-Missoula line
open for several days at least, and the
Sells-Floto circus has got to the end of
Its rope until-a new programme is out
lined. H. H. Tamer, the manager, re
turned to Spokane today for the purpose
of making arrangements to take the cir
cus train from here back over the O. R.
& N. and around by way of Southern
Idaho, to "reach Montana points. This
will necessitate cancelling at least the
Missoula and Anaconda dates, but the
manager hopes to catch Up at Butte. So
far no definite word has been received
that this plan has worked out.

day for Hampton Roads.
GO BY WAY OF SUEZ CANAL
Secretary Garfield Will Be Passen

Nebraska and Wisconsin Fill
Vacancies in the Fleet.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 7. Leaving
the other warships of the Atlantic fleet
to follow a month later, the battleships
Maine and Alabama, designated as a
special service squadron, will sail from
this port tomorrow morning on the long
voyage to Hampton Roads by way of
Honolulu, Manila, Aden and the Suez
Canal. Captain Giles B. Harber, of tha
Maine, will be in command of the special
squadron, and on the first leg of the long
cruise home, will have a member of the
President's Cabinet. Secretary of the In
terior, James T. Garfield, as a guest and
passenger. Secretary Garfield arrived
from Washington today and will go to
Honolulu on the special service squadron,
where he will study the labor question,
immigration problem, commercial de
velopment of the Islands and the coast
wise trade.
Salute for Garfield.
, Tonight the two battleships, lying with
others in Man-o'-War Row in the harbor,
are spick and span for the reception of
Secretary Garfield, who will be received
with a salute of 13 guns, not only from
the Maine as he boards that vessel, but
from Rear-Admiral Sperry's llagship, the
Connecticut, which came from drydock
yesterday and again anchored at the
head of the column of the two divisions
now in the bay.
The Maine and the Alabama are the
first two ships of the big fleet that came
through the Straits of Magellan, to turn
their bows homeward, and will com
plete the trip around the world in ad
vance of the flagship Connecticut and .the
remainder of the fleet, arriving at Hamp
ton Roads on October 22, ten months from
the time that they left there on their
record-breaking cruise.
Stopping Places En Route Home.
The detached two warships will arrive
at Honolulu June 17, remain there five
days, touch at Guam on July 7 and reach
Manila July 21. This will be the last
American port to be entered by them un
til they reach Hampton Roads. On July
29 they will sail from Manila, touching
at Singapore, August 3; Colombo, Aug
ust 14, and pass through the Sues Canal
September 6.
The squadron is scheduled to arrive at
Naples September 10, remaining there a
week and arriving at Gibraltar Septem
ber 30.
The dropping of the Maine and the de
taching of the Alabama from the main
fleet Is due, one to her limited steaming
capacity and the other to Inferior en
gines. The steaming radius of the
Maine without recoaling is limited ,to
3700 miles and there is a stretch of over'
4000 miles after the fleet leaves Honolulu
before it reaches. New Zealand. The en
gines of the Alabama, 1. Is said, have
not proven equal to those of the other
battleships, and It is feared that she might
retard the progress of the fleet should
they break down.
When the Atlantic fleet sails through
the Golden Gate, on July T, homeward
bound via Honolulu, the antipodes,
Manila and Suez, the battleships Ne
braska and Wisconsin will be in the line
in place of the Maine and Alabama.
