Accumulate Will Be KeceB- sary to Build the Canal and Improve Onr Harbors. WASHINGTON Oct 26. Each mem ber of the ways and means committee In turn finds some reason "why nothing should be done in the way of tariff re vision at the coming bession of Congress. Hopkins of Illinois, a member of the committee, seems to have thought out a real practical suggestion and says: "Tariff revision and further reduction of the internal revenue should not be undertaken at the coming session of Congress. If we are to build the isthmian canal, and it seems to me that legislation to authorize such a canal is assured this "Winter, there will be use for many mil lions of dollars of Government money. Then, if we pass a river and harbor bill at the approaching session, it will call for many millions more. These two meas ures can be counted on to absorb all the surplus, which may accumulate in the Treasury from the present rate of tax ation." To those people who want river and harbor improvements and want a Nica ragua Canal constructed, this statement of Hopkins, will appeal with some force, as the revenue is needed for public works of that character. Hopkins,, as well as other members of the commit tee, however, missed the point that most of the tariff reformers arc aiming at, which is a reduction of the tariff upon the high-protected trust made articles which are sold cheaper abroad than at home. It begins to look as if the various arguments made by Republican leaders to prevent any tariff legislation is likely to prevail. Apparent ly good excuses for not legislating are being produced in abundance. CALLERS AT THE "WHITE HOUSE. Missionary Association Approves of the President's Invitation. WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.

"I have suffered no change in any of the convictions I have entertained in the past," said the Senator, "and my return to the Republican party does violence to none of those convictions. I am ad sincere a believer In the doctrine of blmctalism as when I left the Republican party sole ly for that cause, and, were the condi tions today as then, I would be numbered among those defending it. The enormous output of gold, however, has accomplished what blmctalism would have accom plished. The silver issue is dead, and we are face to face with other Issues.

ARIZONA WANTS STATEHOOD Campaign Launched Amid Enthusi asm at Phoenix. PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 23. Arizona's campaign for statehood was launched to day in the most enthusiastic convention ever held In the territory. Every county, municipality and commercial organization In the territory sent delegates, .and the body of accredited delegates that met In the local opera-house taxed the capacity of that building. A. J. Doran, of Fres cott, was permanent chairman. Resolutions were adopted with great enthusiasm declaring that Arizona is just ly entitled to be freed from the present territorial form of government, as It has been the unvarying custom of the Federal Government to admit territories to state hood when their population, wealth and the intelligence of the people are suf ficient to warrant such action. The res olutions were strong in tone and their reading aroused the convention to a high pitch of enthusiasm. When the closing sentence was read, declaring" that "Ari zona relies upon the sense of justice of both branches of Congress," Undelegates rose to their feet. The Indian band screeched out Sousa's "Stars and Stripes Forever' and the convention became a pandemonium of enthusiasm. Governor Otero, of New Mexico, made a brief. speech, referring to Arizona as a rib taken from New Mexico, her best helpmate. He spoke of New Mexico's constant effort in the interest of Arizona. Governor Murphy, of Arizona, spoke elo quently of Arizona's claims to statehood, her achievements and her resources. Del egate Mark Smith made a short speech, declaring that the issue of statehood had been kept In the background In Congress lest political jealousies be excited. Hei was hqpeful of a vote, however, at the' coming session, and an early admission to the Union. The convention closed with the readoption of the old state constitu tion prepared in 1S9L The following com mittee was chosen to go to Washington and present the claims of the territory before Congress: W. C. Greene, L. W. Mix, E. B. Gage, Thomas Brockman, John Lawler and W. J. Murphy. A finance committee was also named. A reception tendered tonight to Gov ernor Otero and the other New Mexico delegates was largely attended. RUSSELL MAY COME. Conviction Will Xot Prevent Him From Entering United States.

DEMOCRATS' HOPES Believe They Can Elect Next Washington Legislature, TURNER AND HIS AMBITIONS Will Probably Ploy a Waiting Game and Trust to Republican. Quarrels to Re-elect Him Seattle a Storm Center. SEATTLE, Oct. 26. Republican quar rels and the conflicting ambitions of divers Republican leaders have occupied the at tention of state politicians for the past several months, to the exclusion of the -------- $-t-- -------- --$- f Democracy and Its hopes and fears. This has been mainly due to the fact that the Democratic party has not been washing Its dirty linen in public like the Republi can organization. Nevertheless, the Dem ocrats are active, and see In. the division of the Republican party a chance of suc cess for themselves in the campaign of next year. The chief political prize to be given away is the United States Senatorship; that Is proven by the fact that the pres ent bitter contest In the Republican Party is centering around that plum. The Democrats are jusc as rauuu uucicsiw In securing it as the Republicans, the only difference being that they are not so vociferously clamoring for It But when the fight comes on in earnest the Democrats will be there. The most Interesting figure in the Wash ington Democracy is Senator George Turner, of- Spokane. Judge Turner's po litical record Is well known; how he was aRepubllcanreconstructlonlstln the South after the war, fighting the Bourbon Democracy with all the Intensity of his strong -nature; how he went to the -Na tional Republican Convention, at Chica go In 1SS0, and was one of the famous 306 who stood by Ulysses S. Grant until the bitter end; how he 'came to Washington as a Republican appointee of Chester A. Arthur; how he made two fights for a United States Senatorship as a Republi can; how he turned Bryanlte in 1896; was elected to the United States Senate as a Populist in 1S97, and how he has since en tered into full communion with the Democracy, his ancient enemy, and has Inscribed his name on 'the Democratic caucus roll of the Senate. Senator Turner Is in full control of the Democratic organization of the state. Elected to the Senate by Governor Rog ers' aid, he turned In last Fall and fought a battle for Rogers' jenomlnatlon that astounded his enemies and won the un dying support of the men whom he led forth to a victory that seemed well-nigh Impossible. After Rogers had been re nominated, and a central committee 'se lected that was friendly to him and to Turner, the latter being a member of It, an organization was effected with Henry Drum as state chairman. Drum, be It known, Is Turner's closest friend and the man who will manage his campaign for re-election. Rogers "Will Support Him. Governor Rogers has repeatedly said to his friends that he will do anything and everything in his power to bring about Turner's re-election. He can do much. The patronage of the state is In his hands, and it has been disposed of as a general rule in such a manner that it will be easy for the Rogers-Turner com bination to control the majority of Demo cratic Legislative nominations. Moreover, should the Legislature be Democratic, the Rogers administration would be able to bring recalcitrant Democrats Into line when the time comes to elect the Senator at Olympla. Patronage and executive fa vor are potent levers; they proved so when Turner made his canvass In 1S97. . Certain Republican papers of the John L. Wilson persuasion are predicting that Governor Rogers will support Levi Ank eny for the United State- Senate, In re turn for the alleged support of the Ankeny Republlcans given him in the Guberna torial campaign last year. Nobody seri ously believes this story, although It is natural that the Wilson organs should endeavor to create capital against Mr. Ankeny by accusing him of having en tered Into a Democratic alliance. The truth Is that Governor Rogers regards himself as under lasting political obliga tion to Senator Turner, and he proposes to repay the debt. It is undeniable, of course, that many Democrats of the Rogers-Turner faction, If forced to make a choice, would prefer to see Mr. Ankeny elected to the Sen ate rather than Mr. Wilson. This Is a natural feeling, ,and grows out of the fact that Wilson, controlling as he does the two leading Republican papers of the state, has spared no pains to denounce and castigate the Rogers forces. There never was any deal between the Rogers and Ankeny forces. If the Ankeny men, or any of them, voted for Rogers last Fall, it' was because Wilson had forced the nomination of a personally conducted candidate for Governor, and that in doing it he printed column after column of denunciation of the Ankeny Re publicans, attributing to them every evil motive" that could be conceived. Had some other Republican than Wilson's per sonal' candidate for Governor been nom inated, the Ankeny forces would have supported mm to a man, ana ne would probably have been elected. This, however is to be said: Rogers first administration was of a character calculated to win the support of the In dependent voter. "The best Governor the state ever had" was a winning slogan in the Rogers campaign. Hundreds of Re publicans, who cared nothing for Ankeny or Wilson or any other Republican Sen atorial aspirant, voted for Rogers because, rightly or wrongly, they believed in the man. Other Democratic Aspirants. To return, however, to the Senatorial matter, there will probably be other Dem ocratic aspirants. James Hamilton Lewis, Seattle's resplendent, bewhiskered, per fumed darling. Is also said to be a candi date. Colonel Lewis has not announced himself probably will not. He likes to pose as the man upon whom the party can unite when all others fall, and In case of a Democratic row over the Senator ship he would probably come forward and offer himself as a sacrifice on the altar of Democratic harmony. He essayed this feat in the - Governorship last year, but his offer was rejected In a manner that savored of ribaldry. Lewis has not the" following he once had. Six years under the limelight have showed dents in his armor and flaws in his political makeup. Still an Idol, hl3 worshipers consist mainly of people who have not been disillusioned. Once Lewis had King County solidly at his back; to day he would do well to secure the hearty support of one-half of it Still he would make trouble were he to enter the Sen atorial flght. He has many strong friends, and were the Legislature to be Demo cratic, many Seattle business influences might support him on the ground that his presence in the Senate would be a good thing for Seattle. Charles S. Voorhees, of Spokane, is also mentioned as a Senatorial possibil ity. Voorhees Is a son of the "Tall Syca more of the Wabash," and was twice elected Delegate to Congress In territorial days. He is an effective campaigner, and has been out of politics for so long as not to be Identified with any Democratic fac tions. An attempt was made by the oppo sition to Governor Rogers last year to make Voorhee3 their candidate, but It came to naught He went on the stump in the campaign, however, and gave Rog ers most hearty support. Voorhees al ways denied that his name was mentioned for Governor with his authority. He Is r a -warhorse Democrat, a Bourbon of Bour bons; would vote for Herr Most or J. Pierpont Morgan for President if the "regular Democratic party" were to nominate either. But withal he is a mn of ability, and is one of the leaders of the bar of Eastern Washington. More over, he is personally popular with all classes. In fact, his popularity is not by any means circumscribed by party lines. There Is a serious objection to Voorhees on the part of many many Democrats, however. He is a brother-in-law of Har ry L. Wilson, who Is a brother of John L. Wilson. Moreover, John L. Wilson offices with Voorhees in Spokane, and the personal friendship Is very warm be tween them. Many Democrats who do not know Voorhees believe that he has displayed little activity In Democratic politics during the past few years be cause of the activity of Wilson In Re publican politics; that he has not fought the Republican party with his old-time vigor because to do so would have jeopardized Wilson's political prospects. Voorhees has kept silent under a good deal of this sort of criticism. The truth is said to be that his distinguished father left his estate hopelessly Involved, and that Voorhees with rare filial devotion has beep straining every n$rve to pay hl3 father's debts. He probably would not vote for1 a Wilson Legislative ticket would his single vote send Wilson back to the Senate; but there Is no question that many unthinking people have ascribed to .him great political friendship for Wilson, and that it has hurt him. Lewis and Voorhees are probably the only two men who would be seriously mentioned against Turner were the Demo crats .to carry the Legislature. There are doubtless many Democrats In the state who share the ambition with them; but they would find scant support Gov ernor oRgers would like to go to the Senate, but will never enter the race so long as Turner is a candidate. Turner's Political Attitude. Some Democrats object to the re-election of Turner on the ground that he his not ben long enough a Democrat to en title him to Democratic support. It Is all right "they say for him to be elected as a fuslonlst or Populist with the aid of Democratic votes; but now that the Populist party has practically disap peared, and been merged into the Democ racy, they clamor for an old-time Demo crat. If there is anything In violent advocacy of Democratic principles, however, this objection surely should not count against the Senator. He has burned every bridge behind him, and made his return to the faith of hl3 younger days absolutely im possible. He voted aglnst the ratification of the peace treaty with Spain, refusing to follow Bryan's suggestion to vote for It; he was one of tho first to raise the cry of Imperialism against the McKlnley administration; he was one of the lead ers in the fight against the ship subsidy bill at the last session of Congress: he 13 a free-sllverlte still, and glories In It. He hesitates not to denounce the Repub lican party as the champion and protector of organized and rapicious monopoly, as an oppressor of the "plain people," and a foe of labor. He has wrapped himself In the protecting folds of the principles of modern Democracy, and Is as violent In his support of them as Ben Tillman. Turner Is essentially a radical. With him there Is no middle ground. Hun dreds and thousands of people now living In the State of Washington have heard him denounce the Democratic party In the strongest language at his command. He resisted It by force In reconstruction days, and for years he was one of the most rabid wavers of the "bloody shirt" in America. " It was men like Turner who made the Republican party odious In the South. There was some justification, from a personal standpoint, In Turner's leaving the Republican party, although his advo cacy of free sliver will always cause his sincerity to be questioned. A man of commanding talents, but a poor politician where his personal Interests are con cerned, he was kept In the rear by men who were his Inferiors In Intellect but his superiors In the art of political ma nipulation.
