OLD FOES IH TO
FJGHT BULL MOOSE
Third Party Finds Nemesis at
Work in Political Ranks
Near Walla Walla.
HISTORIC PRIDE IS STIRRED
Republican Faction Leaders Heal
Wounds oC Long Standing to
Make Hybrid Organization
Common Campaign Target.
TV AULA WALLA. Wash.. Aug. 20.
(Special.) Politics make strange bed
fellows. It is indeed hard to tell Just
what would happen if some of the old
time politicians were to coma back to
Walla Walla for a brief visit and meet
certain individuals walking down town
together arm In arm. Perhaps the vis
itor would believe that some of the
Carnegie peace doves had been turned
loose in the city, but such is not the
case.
The third party was necessary for
the reunion of the old-line and boxer
forces in this county and they are jam
tip against each other and working in
harmony.
In fact, the third . party since
launched in this state has done more
to recement the tles-that once bound
than anything else.
iMt Straw t'anses Break.
Of course, there is some Roosevelt
following here and what there is is
very active, but the straw that broke
the camel's back was when the danger
ous convention-holding mania de
veloped on the "West Side" and term
inated in the decision to have state
and county tickets.
Up to that period in the new party's
formation there were plenty of them
who would leave the grand old party
standard on the least provocation and
wanted to climb In a bandwagon to
be the principal feature of the third
ring in what had heretofore remained
a two-ring big show circus. Then the
opportunity came. With a ring al
most as defiant as the one drafted by
our forefathers when the colonies re
nounced English rule, the action of
the convention in Seattle was received
and the bolting was at last good.
Although few. from the very begin
ning, the Progressive candidates In
this county failed to progress that is
out of the Republican party. The time
came and passed for them to leave the
Republican party and they stuck, and
are still sticking. W. H. Kirkman.
one of the leaders for the third party
National ticket, has even gone so far
as to say. "when this battle comes
down to state issues. I believe the Re
publican party is big enough to stand
the fight. I km a Republican and al
though the time may come when It
hooves us to leave the party that
time is decidedly not now."
Moose Is Commoa Target.
And so the third party state anil
county ticket is not here.
The reaction to the Republican ranks
In this part of the state and on the
entire East Side for that matter, is as
pronounced as was the dissatisfaction
when reports from Chicago were that
Roosevelt was being choked by the
same methods which had characterized
the campaigns he himself headed In
the past and which he is now endeav
oring to enforce when any of his fol
lowers suggest In a timid manner that
they would like to vote for a personal
friend for some minor state or county
office who Is Identities wun cne re
publican or Democratic parties.
Just what has infected so many of
those who have heretofore been heredi
tarily opposed to each other In this
city and has brought about a reunion
of forces cannot be learned. It seems
as though a vast majority in both fac
tions recognized that the third party
is something In common for them to
fight and the fight is on. Men who
have fought each other in the State
Legislature, in county elections and
on municipal Issues are no longer on
unfriendly terms and are backing
President Taft and In nearly every in
stance clear on down the line.
The Democrats have realized this
and are no little surprised to know
that they no longer have shattered
Republican forces to fight, but in their
stead a party presenting an un
broken front except a little frayed on
one end.
Third Party Support Sill.
Even though" ttfere Is a full state
Ucket In the field the third party will
not get its strength from the Repub
lican ranks in this part of the state.
The greatest vote will come from the
Socialists and Democrats. It la no
more than reasonable to believe that
the Republicans who are going to vote
the third ticket are already out mak
ing their declarations and if this Is
true there are very few. Almost any
old kind of an issue would secure more
support in this city than the third
party has displayed so far.
The ' followers of Jefferson have
opened headquarters in the city, have
W. E. Olson, a well-known Democrat,
in charge and are now preparing to
make the fight of their lives.
Whether the third party in Washing
ton wins or loses its good for this part
of the country has already been mani
fested. The warring factions, which
have never been known to work to
gether since the memorable split over
the re-election of ex-Senator Levi An
keny. are now but memories whether
fond memories or not depends largely
on which side of the fence they were
on.

WEST TURNS HERE
Governor Says Metropolis
Needs Cleaning Up,
WOMAN IS SPECIAL AGENT
Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin Named to Work
in Any County West Admits He
Has "Nothing Particular" in
Mind at Present Time.
SALEM. Or., Aug. 20. (Special.) The
appointment of Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin
yesterday as a special agent of Gov
ernor West Is the first move the Ex
ecutive has taken toward a promised
cleanup of Portland.
"Portland will be my next objective
point in the cleanup campaign. That
Is all I have to say In regard to the
matter at the present time," was the
declaration of the Governor today.
"That is positively T11 that I care to
say now, and, in tact, that is about all
there Is to say. There will be more
special agents appointed, probably a
large number or them; but wno mey
will .be and how they are to be ap
pointed I do not care to comment on
now. In fact,- I don't know."
These were all the statements that
the Governor would make in regard
to the proposed cleanup. When pressed,
he reiterated that he not only had noth
ing further to say, and added he has
nothing particular In mind Just at the
present time.
It is probable that he will Issue a
formal statement In a day or so, but the
hearing of the militia matter, which
consumed practically all day today and
a large share of the evening, ne saia,
nrecluded him from even giving the
matter a further tnougni loaay ana ne
absolutely refused to be further ques
tloned.
Mrs. Baldwin may act in any county
of the state. This appointment is made
under the section of the code unearthed
the other day In connection with the
reform crusade of the Executive.
Bv this the Governor is empowered
to appoint special agents to secure evi
dence, to arrest or convict prlmlnals
or to act even as prosecutors when
the properly constituted authorities
fail to do their duty.
The Governor says that frequently
Mrs. Baldwin, In her work in Portland,
would find such an appointment con
venient, and consequently commissioned
her. This . is the first special agent
who has been given a commission
under the present administration.
Governor West's statement that Port
land is to be his next objective point
in his clean-up campaign, which has
alreadv touched the Multnomah and
Clackamas roadhouses and the towns of
Redmond and Huntington, meets with
no opposition from either Mayor Kusn
liht or Chief of Police Slover.
"There is very little to be said on
the matter," said the Mayor last nignt.
"If tho Governor has any Information
that he can furnish us that will be
for the good of the city or any as
sistance he can give us In our efforts
to keep the city clean I am sure I shall
welcome it. My policy and my instruc
tions to the chief of police are and
always have been to take persistent
and vigorous steps for the suppression
of lawless and vicious practices In the
city. I cannot say that I am In the

least alarmed by the Governor's state
ment." 'I will welcome Governor Wests in

us," said Mr. Slover. r ersonmiy
don't see that he can do any more than
we have been doing right along. Cer
tainly he can make no more arrests
than we have made in the past year.
nor do I believe that he can keep tne
vicious element more effectually sup
pressed than we have been doing. There
Is no open gambling in Portland at tnis
time, and we are doing everything in
our power to break up the little gaming
that Is being carried on quietly. If
the Governor can point out to us any
thing that has been left undone for the
betterment of the city In my depart
ment It will be welcomed."
