"Business Men'sCandi

REGULAR ELECTION MARCH 3
Gill's Triumph Remarkable and
Campaign Unique.
TWO HIGHEST NOW IN RACE
Campaign of Leader of All Candi
dates Directed Chiefly by Men
, Who Brought About His
Recall in 1911.
SEATTLE, Waxh., Frb. 17. One bu
dred and ninety-nine precinct com.
plete give for Mayor, Gill 10,62.1; Tren
tolmr Sill. Winsor :!4, UrlfrltbB ol-4.
SEATTLE, Feb. 17. Hiram C. Gill,
who was elected Mayor of Seattle In
1910, recalled "for alleged misconduct
in office the next year and defeated
by Mayor Cotterill in 1912. was nom
inated for Mayor in today's- preferen
tial primary, receiving nearly as many
votes as his three nearest competitors
combined.
For second place, James D. Tren
holme. so-called "business men's, can
didate," is about 900 votes ahead of
Richard Wlnsor, with returns from
one-third of the city counted. Although
Wlnsor, under the law, filed as a non
partisan candidate, his nomination
was made and his campaign managed
by the Socialist party.
Austin E. Griffiths, indorsed by the
Ministerial Federation, is fourth in the
votea thus far counted.
Itesular Election March 3.
The two highest candidates will con
test for tho Mayoralty in the regular
election of March S.
A majority of all votes cast In the
.primary does not elect under the law
here, which Is different from the' pref
erential primaries in most cities of the
Coast.
A remarkable feature of Gill's tri
umph is that his campaign was direct
ed chiefly by men who brought about
his recall In 1911. Gill tonight gave
the following signed statement to the
Associated Press:
How Nomination Was Won.
"My nomination at the direct primary
election was due to the fact that more
citizens voted for me than for any
other candidate. To them I am pro
foundly grateful. But I feel that my
nomination really was caused by the
powerful and remarkable letter of
Erastus Brainerd. former editor of the
Seattle Fost-Intelligncer and recently
of the San Francisco Call. He was
known to the people of Seattle as the
man who effected my recall.
"At a time when every daily news
paper In Seattle had told me I must
not be a candidate, because It would
disgrace the city elsewhere, and they
gave me no other publicity, the letter
of Mr. Brainerd giving his reasons why
he supported mo was published and
thousands of the people who had fol
lowed him In recalling me followed him
In supporting me.
"I expect to be elected and under all
the circumstances I would be worse
than human and would be as black as
the devil and I have been so painted
if I do not give every ounce of my ef
ficiency to tho best interests of all the
people of Seattle, after their magnani
mous treatment of me. - H. C. GILL.
Fourth of City Reports.
Seventy precincts, or one-fourth of
the city, give GUI 6180. Trenholme 2781,
Winsor 2271, Griffiths 1902.
Ten scattered precincts out of 2S1
give Gill 710, Winsor (Socialist) 31S.
Trenholme 226. Griffiths 206. The pro
ilncts reporting almost uniformly give
Gill first place and Winsor second.
Under the law governing city elec
tions In Seattle no final choice of
city official can be made at a primary
There must be two candidates in the
election to follow the primaries. A
majority vote, which Mr. Gill may re
ceive, will not elect him; it will simply
serve to indk-ate a probable walkover
for him in the election next month.
t'lty Hall precinct, the first to report,
gives Gill 113. Trenholme 33, Winsor
(Socialist) 26, Grimiths 17.
Thirty-five precincts give Gill 3030,
Trenholme 1354, Winsor 1149, Grif
fiths 913.
Winsor is tho nominee of the Social
ist party, although under the law the
ciectlon is non-partisan.

QUART OF PICKLES IS MEAL
Man Residing Near Oakland, Or.,
Eats Nearly Gallon Daily.
, OAKLAND, Or., Feb. 17. (Special.)
A strange idiosyncrasy, aided and
abettted by a capable appetite, has been
found in a man living three miles south
of Oakland, who eats a quart of dill
pickles at every meal. Three-quarters
of a gallon Is his daily capacity.
' He himself does not look upon it as
remarkable, for it is his opinion that
one of the fundamental tastes, which
in the case of most people is sweet, in
his case simply happened to be sour.
Pickles to him are the same as candy
to others.

SENATE MAY FIGHT
FOR LITERACY TEST
Wilson's Attitude Be
wilders Members.
POSITION IS MISUNDERSTOOD
Committee Had Reported
President Would Sign.
DEFIANCE IS DISCUSSED
Certainty Felt That Measure Can
Pass Senate, With Possibility
That It Also Could Be
' Repassed Over Veto.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17. Informa
tion that President Wilson would veto
the immigration bill if it is sent to him
irom congress with the literacy test
provision today amazed members of
the Senate Immigration committee.
Many of them confessed tonight they
were bewildered. Inasmuch as they had
determined to retain the literacy test
in their draft for the measure as it
passed the House, under the impression
that the President would accept the
bill if it passed the Senate. An Inter
esting session of the committee is
looked for tomorrow. The committee
two weeks ago directed Senator Smith
or faouth Carolina, the chairman, to
consult with the President on imml
gration legislation. '
Waste of Time Opposed.
It was said today that tho members
especially desired to learn whether the
veto power might be directed at the il
literacy provision of the Burnett bill.
some or tne senators were inclined to
the belief it would be a waste of time
to take up consideration of immigra
tion reform at all if the restrictive lit
eracy test would fall again.
They were committed to that provi
sion as a beneficial form of restriction,
had votea for it twice before and felt
constrained ' to insist on it again, but
didnot want' to waste the time "of a
busy Congress should there be a possi
bility, that immigration legislation
would fall again under the execu
tive ax.
Senators Show Ftfffct.
Senator Smith reported that while
the President did not look on the liter
acy test with favor, he would sign the
bill If it passed the Senate. On that
basis the committee began its test. Now
the members are inclined to stand by
their guns despite the President's at
titude, certain that the measure can
pass the Senate and not at all sure that
it might not repass both houses by a
two-thirds vote over the head of the
President.
The Senate repassed a similar bill
over President Tart's veto, but it failed
in the House.
