SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 25. (Spe
cial.) With the repubficans likely to
go into the next primary campaign
with a flock of west side candidates
for the gubernatorial nomination and
the democrats not even speculating
about the availability of anybody who
lives in eastern Washington, poli
ticians are calling attention to the fact
that geographical lines cut Very little
figure in the fight; for first place on
me iicKeu
In the coming gubernatorial fight
it is predicted by those politicians who
have business which carries them up
and down the state that issues and
the man will loom much larger than
the question of which side of the Cas
cades happens to afford an abiding
place for a candidate.
This is especially true in view of the
fact that the politicians cannot blame

TION APPEARS IMMINENT.

Deemed Necessary if Hostil

BELGRADE. Serbia, Nov. 25. Two
prominent Jugo-Slavs have been ar
rested and held as hostages by the
Italian forces of occupation in Dal
matian according to advices received
from Sebenico, 30 miles southeast of
Zara. The advices add that Sebanico
is taking measures to guard against
a descent of D'Annunzio's army.
GENEVA. Monday. Nov. 24. Tele
grams received by the Serbian bureau
at Hprnp from Relcrra.de. Zara and
their tickets under the direct Priraa5jL'SDalato convey the impression that
system
'Thus far there has been no candi
date suggested for gubernatorial nom
ination who is not known throughout
the state and whose public record is
not pretty well understood. At the
same time a very large percentage of
the voters know . great deal about
the prospective candidates but could
not tell, off-hand, where they reside.
Kant Side ot United.
The campaigns of each probably
will be directed from Seattle and
Spokane, in any event, and this sort of
organization would tend to over
shadow the location of a candidate's
voting precinct.
Of. recent years eastern Washington
has raised no sectional issue that has
been strong enough to unite the peo
ple of that section of the state. For
that matter, the east side did not
Unite even when the an ti-railroad
ifsue overshadowed all other politi
cal considerations.
There would never have been any
regulative railroad legislation had
the issue depended upon the east side,
for if one wants to go back to the
McGraw administration, it was Mc
Gra w himself who jammed through
the Anderson freight-rate bill. In
the first Rogers administration the
fusion organization between demo
crats, populists and silver republicans
was hopelessly entangled, and in the
second Rogers administration the
anti-railroad fight was led by- Lieutenant-Governor
Henry McBride as
present, and Jater as acting gov
ernor, and Harold Preston, a King
county senator, with W. W. Tolman, a
Spokane democratic senator, ranking
third in the fight.
Kalrchlld la Lucky.
Finally, when a railroad commis
sion was provided, the man who led
the fight was Harry Fairchild. of
Bellingham. That Fairchild made his
fight when the railroads had grown
weary of the eternal squabble was a
bit of luck for him and in no wise
detracts frpm the fact that the east
ide finally got its legislation through
western Washington leadership.
Facetious politicians summarize the
situation by declaring that when the
east side enters into politics it spe
cializes on the United States senators
rather than governors. Of the nine
men sent to the United States senate
six were elected from eastern Wash
ington. The only three from the west
side were Watson C. Squire of King,
Addison G. Foster of Pierce and Sam
uel H. Piles of King, while the east
side contributed John B. Allen of
Walla Walla, John L. Wilson of Spo
kane, George Turner of Spokane, Levi
Ankeny of Walla Walla, W. L. Jones
of Yakima and Miles Poindexter of
Spokane. During two intervals both
senators lived in eastern Washington.
only prompt interference by.-the allies
can prevent war over the Adriatic
situation as the Jugo-Slavs are said
to have lost patience and to be-ready
to fight the Italians..
One newspaper accuses Italy of de
siring to blockade Jugo-Slavia's , ex
ports and imports and thus "strangle
her." Another repeats recent reports
that a reign of terror prevails in
Zara, that everybody must wear a
brassard inscribed "Italy or Death,"
or be badly treated, and that Slavs
are afraid to leave their houses.
PARtS, Monday, Nov. 24. The
Jugo-siav bureau here says the Jugo
slav government has asked its min
isters at Paris, London and Wash
ington to draw the attention of those
governments to the dangerous situa
tion arising1 from D'Annunzio raids.
ROME, Monday, Nov. 24. Peter A.
Jay, American charge d'affaires, had
long interview with Premier Nittt
today. Neither the premier nor the
American embassy would make a
statement relative to the subjects
discussed, but it was indicated Mr.
Jay received a favorable impression
from the outline Premier Nitti gave
of the. Italian situation. After his
talk with Air. Jay, the premier had
an hour's audience with King Victor
Emmanuel.
It seems that the only really pain
ful thorn in the side of the govern
ment is the Adriatic question and ef
forts are being made to gain Ameri
can support of proposals looking: to a
settlement of this matter.
WASHING'OX, Nov. 25. Interest
payments on American loans to the
allies may be deferred "until the war
reaction passes," it was said today
at the treasury. Negotiations to this
end how are being conducted at the
request of the allies, but officials ex
plained that the latest advices from
the treasury's representatives in Paris
did not indicate an early conclusion,
American loans to associates in the
war aggregate 99.647,000.000 and the
interest rate averages 5 per cent. All
of the obligations are in the form of
short term notes, but it has been pro
posed by the allies that they be con
verted into long-term paper, which
would fall due on dates correspond
ing to those on .which American
liberty loans mature.
Officials said the American govern
ment was not seeking the new ar
rangement. They explained, how
ever, that they felt that "the pres
ent chaotic condition in Europe
might be bettered if the interest pay
ments were funded. Tentative plans
would defer these . payments from
three to five years, which, it was said,
"would allow European conditions to
readjust themselves and place the
foreign governments' reconstruction
programmes well under way."
. Albert Rathbone, assistant secre
tary of the treasury, is representing
the United States in the negotiations
at Paris. .Treasury officials said the
only instruction given him was that
in reaching an agreement the "in
terest of the whole world's financial
structure' be given through consideration.
LONDON, Nov. 25. A plan is under
discussion by the British and Ameri
can governments under which the
payment of interest on advances by
Great Britain and the United States
to the allies in the course of the war
and also on advances by the United
States to Great Britain, would be
postponed for three years, it was an
nounced in the house of commons to
day by Austen Chamberlain, chan
cellor of the exchequer;

GOLD HILL. Or., Nov. 25. (Spe
cial.) After telling the sheriff and
deputies a story of being shot through
the left leg by an armed hobo who
was trying to sell him a revolver last
week and starting the sheriffs office
on a hunt for armed vagrants, Elmer
Holdman confessed to a reporter that
he shot himself with one of two guns
he stole from a residence in Medford.
Holdman was making his way home
to his foster parents at Custer, Wash.,
from the navy yards, where he had
been discharged. He begged break
fast of M. Johnson, section man at
Medford. After Mr. and Mrs. John
son had departed he returned to the
house and took two revolvers, some
cartridges and a coat. He made his
way along the railroad to Ray Gold,
where he sat downto rest. While in
specting the guns, one of them was
accidentally discharged, the bullet
penetrating Holdman's leg.
