GIVING ADVICE TO VOTERS
Cosgrove and Mead Urge Supporters
to Select Weaker Candidate for
Second Choice Fail to Or
ganize In Spokane County.
BY JOE SMITH.
FPOKAXE. Wash.. Aur. 14. SpeclaI.
-But for the necond choice Mature of
the state primary law the contest for the
Republican nomination for the Ootiiot
htp would, in my opinion, be too one
sided in Eastern Washington to arouse
serious Interest. Almost '
ceptlortVhe best Informed political serv
ers agree that ex-Governor Henry Mc
Brlde is far and away the leading candi
date m the race, and local managers of
the McBride campaign are confidently
claiming that he will Ret 50 per cent of
all the votes cast in the Republican pri
maries on this side of the Cascades.
The second choice provision, .however,
with its entangling possibilities, creates
a confusion which it is difficult to un
tangle and gives to the other candidates
their one hope of winning the nomina
tion. Each and all they insist that Mc
Bride will not receive the necessary 40
per cent of first choice votes to nominate
him. and each and all they Insist that
thev will lead all competitors in the
number of their second choice votes. S.
G. Cosgrove. who is quite generally looked
upon in Eastern Washington as second
hish man. went all through the early
part of his campaign bidding for second
choice votes, so much so that he began to
be referred to as the "second choice can
didate." an appellation which he now
protests against as unmerited and unjust.
Second Choice May Decide.
Even yet. however. Mr. Cosgrove con
tinues of the opinion that the second
choice vote will be necessary to decide
the contest, as evidenced by the fact
that he has been advising his immediate
supporters to throw away their second
choice votes upon one of the weaker can
didates. When asked to specify the name
of the candidate, he suggests that they
vote on second choice for W. M. Ridpath.
Mr. Ridpath is taking advantage of this
situation and is canvassing for the sec
ond choice votes of the CosRrove men
upon Mr. Coegrove's recommendation.
Despite the energetic efforts made by
his opponents along the same line. Mc
Bride is the only candidate in the race
who has succeeded in perfecting an ef
fective working organization in Spokane
County. The McBride club was com
pleted Tuesday night at a meeting at the
Spokane Theater, attended by some S0
people and addressed at length by the
candidate himself on the Issues of the
campaign, and starts off with some 1600
charter members. Dr. W. H. Allen, pres
ident of the local school board. Is presi
dent, and its leading spirits are the same
men .who carried the McBride campaign
In this county four years ago to its
dramatic triumph In the county conven
tion before the powerful opposition of
the railroad forces. Among theme are
Gordon C. Corbaley. Charles P. Lund,
Seabury and J. W. Merritt. Joseph B.
Lindsay. Dr. W. J. Howells. Adolph
Munter. Arthur W. Davis and Jacob
Schiller.
Get No Foothold In Spokane.
Both Mr. Cosgrove and Governor
Mead have been endeavoring for several
weeks to get a foothold in this county
for the establishment of an active or
ganization, but in both cases without suc
cess. When the Mead forces organized
at Seattle, some three weeks ago, for
the state-wide work. L. P. Hornberger,
a Mead appointee on the A. Y. P. expo
sition commission, was called from this
city to take charge of the organization.
He returned to Spokane and spent the
greater portion of two days trying to
establish a Mead headquarters here, re
turning to Seattle without having suc
ceeded. The local management of Mead's
campaign was offered by him to D. M.
Thompson, a local real estate man and
member of the last Legislature, who de
clined It as being both a hopeless and a
thankless undertaking. Thompson Is now
supporting McBride. Other local Mead
supporters of prominence are so dis
couraged at the prospect of accomplish
ing anything for their favorite In the
Gubernatorial race that they prefer to
avoid aetlx-e politics entirely, or else da
vote their energies to furthering the cam
paign of some favorite for some other
office.
About the same time that Thompson
was offered the management of the
Mead campaign, Mr. Cosgrove wrote
from Seattle urging Thomas E. Heddle
to take charge here of organizing and
promoting the Cosgrove movement.
Mr. Heddle replied that he had already
been engaged to manage the publicity
rampaign of T. D. Rockwell for the
Congressional nomination, and de
clined. Mr. Cosgrove has since-visited
Spokane, but If he has succeeded in
establishing a local branch of his Seattle-
office !t has not yet burst Into
the open with any announcement of
Its designs.
Some Hope for Democrats.
Aside from these three candidates,
the other contestants for the nomina
tion are not looked upon as danger
ous antagonists, though the second
choice provision makes every aspirant
whose name is on the ballot a possible
winner of the nomination. Without
doubt It is the Intention of scores of
voters who are warmly attached to
one candidate for first choice to throw
their second-choice votes away on the
candidate or candidates whom they
look upon as the weakest. Should any
considerable proportion of them pick
as the weakest man the same candi
date the result might possibly be the
nomination of a candidate whom even
the majority of those voting for him
do not desire to see nominated. Such
a nominee would be In grave danger of
defeat at the polls, which Is the one
consideration entitling the Democratic
contest to serious consideration at this
stage of the proceedings.
Of the four Democratic candidates,
politicians pick "Jack" Splawn for the
winner, though Mayor Pattlson has
made and Is making a vigorous cam
paign and promises to run hlrS a close
if not successful race. The strength
of William Blackman Is chiefly among
the organised labor vote of the state.
Is looked upon by politicians as an un
known quantity, and might possibly
prove an astonishment. Dr. Byrne,
since his declaration In favor of per
sonal liberty. Is looked upon as al
ready defeated, except possibly upon a
second-choice fluke.

Spokane Is characteristic of that gen

Activity in the Interests of Governor
Mead is reported from Stevens, Lin
coln, Okanogan and Kittitas Counties,
and from Watervllle in Douglas Coun
ty. In many. If not in most Instances,
It is conducted or Inspired by ap
pointees of the Governor. McBride
managers here concede Cosgrove the
three counties south of" Snake River
other than Walla Walla. In Walla
Walla both of the old-time factions
are supporting the ex-Governor, the
only opposition being a small but in
tensively active Cosgrove organization
under the leadership of Eugene Lorton.
In Whitman County Cosgrove Is put
ting up a serious contest against the
McBride forces, but it is but loosely
organized, if at all, while the McBride
organization, under the management
of Its old-time leader, U. L. Ettinger,
is waging an aggressive campaign, Mr.
Ettinger claiming' the county for his
candidate by 60 per cent of all Re
publican votes cast.
In Yakima County the Inauguration
of an aggressive McBride campaign
was delayed for a while by the per
sistent charge made by opposition can
didates that McBride had entered into
an alliance with Senator Ankeny
against Congressman Jones, but this
bit of moonshine is no longer given
KArloim consideration, and nme of the
closest supporters of Jones there are
now supporting McBride. Cosgrove has
some strength in all of the Yakima
Valley Counties, but In none of them
has it assumed serious proportions.

will be couched in more vigorous lan
guage. EDITH LUDWIG IS WEDDED
(Continued From FMrat Pm.)
Wednesday, tired and forlorn. He had
fx Dec ted to take the long trip across the
continent under different conditions. He
and Miss Ludwlg had planned it all toe-ether.
When he stepped on the plat
form, there stood the father of the girl
who had been torn from him In Chicago.
"It's all right; don't worry about It,"
were the man's welcoming words. "It's
all right, I tell "you."
"But I don't understand. Ethel is back
somewhere with her mother,-" was Profes
sor Fitzgerald's reply.
'Well, read this and you will see,
lauehed the fatner. thrusting a telegram
in his hand. Professor Fitzgerald read.
It read something like this:
"T am lust leaving Chicago. Meet Fred,
who will reach . Palo Alto Wednesday
evening. Let him know I am coming."
Then the two men shook hands again.
Will Not Discuss Chloroform.
Mr. and Mrs. Fitzgerald refused to
make anv statement when seen after
their marriage. They said that they
did not care to discuss their plans, but
Mrs. Fitzgerald did say that she did
not care if the whole world knew she
is married to the man she loves. She
said the newspapers had followed her
pretty closely for the last eeveral
days and that they have left very little
untold that has happened to her. She
refused to discuss the trouble she had
with her mother and would not affirm
or deny the story that Mrs. Ludwlg
had chloroformed her in an endeavor
to keep her from coming west to
marry Professor Fitzgerald.
Mother Gave Consent.
Dr. Fitzgerald tonight gave out an in
terview In which he stated that the re
ports that his wife had fled from Chicago
In order to outwit her mother are false,
saying that Mrs. Ludwlg accompanied the
girl to the station and consented to her
coming to this city to marry him. He
also said that they will remain In Sacra
mento several days, and will then depart
for San Francisco, where they will make
their home.
FATHER GLAD AS DAUGHTER
Withholds Judgment on Wife Till
He Hears Facts.
PALO ALTO, Cal.. Aug. 14. When
Mr. Ludwlg heard by telegram that
his daughter and Dr. Fitzgerald were
at last married, he said:
"I hold no animosity against my wife
for this affair. Her actions were pe
culiar, but I withhold Judgment on the
case till I learn what really did or
did not happen.
"Mr. Fitzgerald will live in Palo
Alto till the first of the month and
then will probably move to the city.
They are married now, and if Palo
Alto wasn't a dry town, I'd say, "Let's
have a drink.' "
Xo Danger of Car Shortage.
ST. PAUL, Minn.. Aug. 14. Talk of a
car famine this Fall that will tie up
grain movement and heavy Fall traffic
is unfounded, according to local railroad
men. who say there Is no cause for
alarm. There will be the usual shortage
of cars when the heavy grain shipments
commence, the same shortage that has
been experienced for years past, but
nothing more serious. Reports from
Chicago were to the effect that the Job
bing and manufacturing interests were
almost over the prospect of a car famine.

ADD NORMAL WORK
Course for Teachers in High
School Curriculum.
OPTIONAL WITH PUPILS
New Course of Study Issued by State
Superintendent Ackerman Also
Introduces Commercial
Course.
SALEM. Or., Aug. 14. (Special.)
The establishment of a one-year
teachers' training course, to be optional
with puplla in the 10th, 11th and 12tn
grades, is the principal feature of the
new course of study which waj Issued
by Superintendent of Public Instruc
tion J. H. Ackerman today, and which
will be used in all Oregon public
schools hereafter.
The new course of study Is practical
ly the same as that heretofore in use
so far as the first eight grades are
concerned. The new features are
found In the High Schools, which com
prise the ninth. 10th. 11th and 12th
grades.' The new teachers" training
course is not designed to take the
place of Normal School work, but is
provided as an aid to those High
School pupils who contemplate enter
ing the teaching profession, but who
cannot see their way clear 10 atteno.
one of the Normal Schools. Many
young people now go from the High
Schools Into the common schools as
teachers, and it Is the purpose of the
training course to fit them better for
such work.
AVhat Course Includes.
The course Includes 14 weeks in White's
"Art of Teaching." seven weeks of oh
servation work, seven weeks of practice
teaching, four weeks' study of the com
mon school course of study, and four
weeks' study of practical school prob
lemS.
Superintendent Ackerman expresses the
opinion that this optional work win do
taken by many high school pupils who
will thereby be Induced to attend one of
the regular normal schools.
In addlltlon to this change, a two-year
commercial course has been introduced for
11th and 12th year pupils. This course is
practically the same as the commercial
course at the Agricultural College. It will
be available only in high schools of the
first class. In the regular high school
course bookkeeping has been made a
half-year study, experience having shown
that the work can be done in that time
instead of taking a full year, as in the
past. It will occupy the first half of the
ninth. Botany has been made mandatory
instead of optional In the last half of the
ninth year.
In both the common school and high
school courses Superintendent Ackerman
has added many suggestions which will
be very helpful to teachers, especially to
those having little experience In school
work. The new course for the first time
classifies high schools, the classification
being as follows:-
Classification of Courses.
First class A high school of the first
class is one having one or more Xour-year
courae.a and at least three teachers devoting
the whole of their time to high school work.
Second class A high school of the second
class is one having one or more three-year
courses and at least two teachers devoting
the whole of their time to high-school work.
Third class A high school of the third
class is one having one or more two-year
courses and at least one teacher devoting
the whole of her time to high-school work.
Fourth class A high school of the fourth
class Is one having one or more one-year
courses and at least one teacher devpting
the whole of her time to high-school work.
Copies of the new course of study will
be ready for distribution In a few days.
They will be sent to County Superintend
ents, who will distribute them to teach
ers.
PROCLAIM NEW RELIGION
Chicago Carpenter and " His Wife
Prophets of Cult.
CHICAGO, Aug. 14. "Doubt and be
damned," is the battlecry of a new re
ligion, according to Mrs. Jennie Blake
ley, of 773 West Sixty-third street, who,
with her husband, Albert Blakeley, is
promoting it. and who togetherVomprise
the "Kingdom of Heaven Churches of
the First-Born."
The couple claim to have received a
divine manifestation from the clouds 15
years ago this coming 29th day of Au
gust, and they declare tnat ui win De
fall anyone who discusses It before its
15th anniversary.
Blakeley is a carpenter, and has been
a close student of the Bible for a long
time. He and his wife were formerly
members of the Latter-Day Saints
Church, and expect a large following
from that creed and among the Jews.
They filed their charter of incorpora
tion in the County Recorder's office yes
terday, and while it indicates that nine
persons participated in the organization
of the church, Mrs. Blakeley acknowl
edged that she and her husband are
really the only ones who "acted," and
that the others were merely "present."
Blakeley is named on the papers on
file as "ruler" and his wife as secretary,
and - the claim is made that the Al
mighty elected them. The objects of the
church are given as follows:
"To rule and renne.
"To redeem Zion.
"To set up the heavenly sanctuary.
"To bind up the testimony and seat the
law.
To work after the spiritual order of
God in all divine ordinances.
To establish apostles, prophets, evan
gelists, pastors and teachers with funda
mental principles.
To gather In all Israel."
JAPANESE ARE GRIEVED
Regret That Okuma's Remarks
Have Been Misconstrued.
TOKIO, Aug. 14. Special dispatches
from New York and London printed in
Japanese newspapers -represent that the
recent utterance of Count Okuma attrib
uting the naval expansion policy of the
United States to the sudden rise of Japan
to the Importance of a world power. Is
arousing intense indignation and has
caused a complete recrudescence of anti-
Japanese sentiment throughout America.
The New York newspapers are quoted
as editorially urging an American-Chinese
alliance for the purpose of offsetting the
belligerency of Japan. One newspaper is
quoted as giving the views of vv u Ting
Fang, Chinese Minister to the United
States, on the subject of an alliance in
which he threatens Japan with "an early
evidence of the real power of the Amer
ican navy."
Americans residing in Toklo, Yokohama
and elsewhere throughout Japan are ex
tremely indignant. They believe that the
special dispatches exaggerate the tone of
the New York newspapers and it is felt
that It is particularly unfortunate that at
this time anything should be permitted to
retard the Increasingly, friendly. tela.UonaJmeaxi
of the two nations in view of the elab
orate arrangements on foot among the
Japanese to welcome the American fleet
and the growing cordiality exhibited on
all sides toward Americans. American
business men especially regret the pub
lications because the revival of th,e anti
Japanese propaganda in America will,
they fear, undoubtedly afford gratifica
tion to the competing countries repre
sented here and alse seriously damage
American trade. Count Okuma's frequent
utterances do not create a ripple here
and his most recent one was passed quite
unnoticed by foreigners until the specials
announced the outcry of the American
newspapers. Even then, among Japanese
statesmen and newspapers the first ex
pression was one of amusement.
JAPAX BUIIiDLXG WARSHIPS
Xaval Arsenals JKept Busy Through-

TOKIO, Aug. 14. During last year the
naval arsenals constructed one battle
ship, one armored cruiser and one second-class
cruiser, while two dispatch
boats were built at the Mitsubishi ship
building dockyard and engine works, Na
gasaki, and the Kawasaki shipbuilding
dockyard. Kobe. Besides these, the na

war. The arsenals are at present build
ing three destroyers and three battle
ships, each displacing 20,000 tons. The
Mitsubishi yard is also constructing sev
eral ships, their tonnage aggregating 80,
000 tons, while the Kawasaki yard has
also several ships' in course of construc
tion of some 85.000 tons. In addition to
these, there were built altogether 100
vessels of every description and size at
shipbuilding dockyards throughout ' the
country, their total tonnage aggregating.

"EV,ER TALKED OF ALLIANCE
Wu Ting Fang Repudiates Inter
view Written by Dreamer.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14. Chinese Min
ister Wu Ting Fang smiled when shown
the Tokio dispatch which referred to an
Interview alleged to have been given by
him to a New York newspaper on the
subject of an American-Chinese alliance.
"No," said he. "of course I never said
that or anything else like it. I remember
the -occasion well enough. A correspon
dent of one of the New York papers came
here and called my attention to the state
men of a possible alliance between China
and the United States. He asked me
what I though of it. I told him that
whatever I thought of it personally, it
would be manifestly improper for me as
a Minister to say anything about it ex
cept that it was quite interesting. My
country sends me here to transact diplo
matic business and I have no right to ex
press an outside opinion on such matters.
I am glad of the opportunity to deny
ever having given such an Interview and
will be glad if you will say so for me."
Form Business Men's Party.
TOKIO, Aug. 14. The formation is an
nounced of a new political party, consist
ing mainly of politicians who have hith
erto ranked as independent or as busi
ness men. The preliminaries of organiza
tion seem to have progressed very favor
ably, and according to present appear
ances, the party will command some
thing like 60 votes In the lower house.
There is not to be any avowal of sup
port to the Cabinet or of opposition to
the Seiyu-Kal. The main planks of the
party's platform will be adjustment of
finances and rehabilitation of the em
pire's foreign policy. On these great
questions the members will vote In con
cord, but on small matters .they will be
allowed to exercise personal liberty.
Japan to Pay War Debt.
TOKIO. Aug. 14. The exact figures are
now known with reference to the appli
cation for repayment of the first install
ment of the war loan. There have been
four operations up to the present, and
the total amount of applications for re
payments under the discount system is
52.529,400 yen. This leaves about 45.000,000
yen to be repaid. The treasury has not
yet given any intimationas to whether
the system of documents will now be
abandoned In favor of lots, but the gen
eral belief Is that this change will be
made, and that the firat payment by lot
will take place about the 15th of September.-

Agriculture, who was recently appointed
by President Roosevelt to be chairman
of a committee of five to investigate the
social, sanitary and economic conditions

highly commendable. In appointing Dean
Bailey head of the commission President
Roosevelt wrote him a lengthy letter.

commission was asked to report to the
President recommendations for Improving
farm life. It is stated that the President
will incorporate these recommendations

Or. Diebler was originally arrested two
months ago, but was admitted to bail in
Portland, whereupon, it is alleged, he

and stole It a second time. Four days
ago he was again arrested, this time at
Chehalis, Wash. He had disposed of the
machine.
Detective Kinney had left his seat for a

Oregon towns and Diebler was picked
up by the Town Marshal at Independ
ence. Lacking a more definite charge,
the Marshal held him for exceeding the
speed limit. Diebler put up ball. When
arrested later on a minor charge, he
made a sensational escape from cus
tody and raced away, passing through
Portland and heading for Seattle.
Learning of Diebler's intended des
tination, Dunn took the first train for
Seattle and got charge of the fugitive,
starting back for Portland with him.
All went smoothly until Chehalis was
reached, whereupon Diebier refused to
go any further and was turned over
to the Sheriff. The Portland police were
notified and a detective was detailed
to go after the thief, when word came
that the Chicago authorities had
claimed the man on a more serious
charge, of stealing the auto, worth
$4000. Dunn's charge against Dieb
ler was merely that of obtaining money
by false pretenses and the other
charge, of course, took precedence.
