ALL WANT TO TIE
UP WITH JONES
Candidates for State Offices
Think They Would Gain
Strength.
ANKENY MAY NOT ENTER
Old Politicians Io Not Consider His
Announcement of Candidacy Seri
ously Has Lost His Organiza
tion Cushman a Power.
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 17. (Special.)
If Congressman W. L. Jones wants to
tie up to a group of candidates for State
offices, he can choose from a wdde range
of selections. Somehow the suggestion of
a tie-up with Jones looks attractive to a
number of candidates who want a re
nomlnatlon or want to slip Into a new
berth. The story has been Industriously
circulated that Mead has a tle-up with
Jones. It has been announced that
Jones" Senatorial candidacy would be
linked with the Congressional boom of T.
D. Rockwell of Spokane. There has been
talk of putting Jones" name Into a com
plete slate for all State and Congres
sional offices.
Friends Urge Jones to Go Alone.
Aside from the fact that Jones has won
In Washington politics ever since 1898 by
keeping out of factional troubles, It is a
fact that none of those local candidates
eager for a deal with the Senatorial as
pirant can bring him anything. Jones has
one object In making an alliance with any
one, for as the list of assets, politically,
that any of the candidates can show are
Bcanned It Is easy to discover that' Jones
already has everything they can offer.
The overtures for an alliance with the
Yakima Congressman are all selfish. It Is
figured he can pull through other candi
dates who would be weak If running on
their own responsibility but who might be
made strong If they carried the Jones In
dorsement. While the Senatorial fight right now is
one between Jones and Ankeny there is
no assurance that other candidates will
not be found. Jones realizes that he may
have to fight a big field and he Is not
In a mood to complicate himself by per
mitting others to benefit by his popu
larity. So long as Jones remains Inde
pendent In his attitude toward all other
offices, the Inclination to find someono to
fight him of an excuse for opposing him
is minimized. Were her to agree to any of
the proposals made to him for slate
making he would Invite the opposition of
every man whose name was left oft the
slate. Entirely apart from the fact that
Jones does not want to mix up In local
quarrels, his friends are taking the posi
tion that he cannot afford to Invite
trouble. If the time should come that an
organization is formed against him. he
might organize with other nomination
seekers. In the meantime Jones' friends
are Insisting that he keep clear from any
entanglement.
With the announcement of Jones' Sena
torial candidacy and Ankeny's official
statement that he Is to be considered in
the race, the fight has rested. Both the
Senatorial candidates have gone home and
stayed there. Neither .proposes to do
much traveling about the state this Sum
mer and comparatively little organization
work has been attempted.
Ankeny Not Expected to Run.
The feeling that Ankeny will not go
through with his promised Senatorial fight
keeps growing despite his announcement
that he Is still In the race. Old poli
ticians believe that Ankeny next year will
decide that he does not want a second
term and will drop out of the race. That
feeling, whilch Is not based upon anything
stronger than a "hunch" is responsible
for the apathy of the old time Ankeny
leaders. They are doing nothing thus
far, explaining the meanwhile that they
are Indifferent because they do not ex
pect the Walla Walla man to stay in the
Senatorial race. The fact that Ankeny
has not done any organization work and
does not show much inclination to build
up a machine for his campaign
strengthens this impression. There is no
question, though, that the old time
Ankeny supporters will remain loyal until
Ankeny releases them. Even If they are
going Into a losing fight they will stand
with him and it Is a rather slgnlflcent
fact that despite all that has been said
of Ankeny and his organization the men
who supported him in the past are willing
yet to lose if necessary to indicate their
present day loyalty.
Ankeny Lost His Organization.
Ankeny did not keep up his organiza
tion after being elected to the Senate.
The Ankeny leaders appeared to drop
out and Ankeny's personal interest was
diminished by his success. The prepon
derance of a "new" vote In state poll
tics makes the lack of a thorough or
ganization a serious matter now. In
the older days of politics pretty nearly
everybody in the state knew something
of Ankeny and touched elbows with
someone out working In his Interests.
The public never got a chance to forget
that Ankeny wanted to be Senator, or
that active workers wanted him elected.
The secret of Ankeny's success In 1933
was the fact that every member of the
Legislature that year had been sounded
before he was nominated, and a thorough-
Ankeny organization knew Just
which members preferred Ankeny as a
first or second choice. That kind of or
ganization kept the Ankeny crowd up
on their toes, and Its absence now lends
color to the claim that Ankeny is not
decided in his Senatorial aspirations.
At the same time Ankeny claims that
he ought to be elected on his record,
and that the necessity for an organized
fight does not exist. That question has
not been discussed much by the old
time Ankeny following.
Congressmen Will Support Jones.
The weight of the Congressmen's Influ
ence will naturally be thrown to Jones.
Public opinion is that both the Congress
men believe they are good Senatorial
timber and that Jones' elevation would be
accepted by both Cushman and Humph
rey as a nice precedent. Of course
Humphrey must suppress any feeling of
that kind he may entertain, for he has
to remain loyal to Plies. But Cushman.
who has come Into absolute control of
Pierce County politics, can nurse a Sena
torial boom of his own and It is no secret
that the Cushman workers hope it will
work around so that Cushman can be the
candidate against Piles. Cushman has
had to wait for several years to be recos-
nized in Pierce as the dictator in the poll
tics of that county, for though he has had
the delegations for ten years, other men
have actually controlled. It is likely the
feeling that Pierce has a chance to get a
Senator through Cushman strengthens his
hold upon the Republican organization.
Piles' forces have not taken any part
thus far In the Jones campaign. Jones
is personally very popular not only In
the Piles organization but In Seattle.
Those who have followed politics closely
admit a deep obligation to Ankeny, and
Seattle is not yet ready to choose between
a fulfilment of a political debt and an
organization for the future. That is why
the Senatorial gossip here Is being restrained.
DISAPPEARS FROM HOME.
Woman Despondent From Illness
Thought to Be a Suicide.
TACOMA. Wash., Aug. 1". ( Special.)
Mrs. Anna M. Nelson disappeared from
her home last night some time between
8:30 P. M. and 4 A. M., and her husband,
Andrew Nelson, a Northern Pacific
engineer, believes she has committed
suicide. Mrs. Nelson has been sick and
was about to undergo an operation,
painful and dangerous.
Her husband says she dreaded the op
eration, and he fears that In her weak
ened condition she suddenly decided to
end her suffering. Last night the hus
band retired first and went to sleep
about 8:S0. At that time his wife was
in the room. At about 4 o'clock he
awoke and found that she had not been
in bed.

over 5000. This has been done to the sat
isfaction of all.
Harvest Hands Strike.
OAKESDALE. Wash.. Aug. 17. (Spe
cial.) A strike amojig the harvest hand3
employed by A. M. Krouse caused some
excitement and much comment on the
streets yesterday. Mr. Krouse is run
ning a thresher a few' miles west of
town, and his men figured up that he
was making $100 a day. Claiming this
was too much money for him to make
off their work, the men demanded more
pay. Mr. Krouse refused. The men
struck and the thresher went to Colfax,
where he succeeded in hiring a new
crew who are at work at the old wages
this morning.

HOMES FORFAMILIES ONLY
Roosevelt's Idea Takes Root Even In
the City of Gay Paris.
PARIS. Aug. 17. (Special) A tenement
house after President Roosevelt's own
heart has just been opened in he Rue
Bellard. It is a block of workmen's dwell
ings which will be let only to tenants
who have large families. The building,
which Is one of several of the same kind.
Is not only a counterblast to race suicide
(which is more serious In France than
in any other European country), but as
a commercial enterprise to provide what
is badly wanted.
The possession of children has hitherto
barred humble folk from most of the
cheap flats In Paris, and many families
have made heartbreaking searches for
quarters In which to house their olive
branches.
These will be welcomed in the new tene
ments, where, indeed, no childless families
will be allowed to rent rooms. No tenant
will be quick to complain about the
youngsters, since every one will have
their own.
One such children's tenement which has
been running since 1902 has 510 inhabitants
mostly children. No family is allowed
to live there unless there are three or
more children. Four of the families In
this building have nine children, and there
are many other big broods. The rent of
an apartment Is less than $100 a year.

Bryan Expresses Sentiments
Regarding Relations of
Two Nations.
LETTER TO TOKIO PAPER
Thinks Immigration Should Not Be
Permitted to Extent or Raising
Race Question, and Cites
Japan's Corean Trouble,
OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 17. (Special.)
Count Okuma's organ in Tokio, Hochl
Shlmbun, .which is seeking expressions of
opinion concerning Japan and the Japa
nese from public men In this country, has
secured a letter full of friendly feeling
toward the Mikado's country from Wil
liam J. Bryan. Mr. Bryan writes:
"The progress of .Japan has been
watched with pride and satisfaction, our
Interest being increased by the fact that
our example has had some influence In
inspiring your development. I see no
reason why the two nations should not
be mutally helpful and rejoice in each
other's growth and prosperity. The In
flammatory utterances attributed to some
of your politicians have excited some re
sentment here, but I am sure that the
sober Judgment, of both countries dis
countenances any thought of war. Neither
government is likely to do anything of
which the other can Justly complain.
Immigration and Race Question.
"If any of your citizens residing here
suffer injustice our courts are open to
them. Just as your courts are open to
our citizens residing there.
"In matters of immigration each nation
of course, has and should exercise the
right to protect Its own Interests and !
am sure that neither nation will impose
restrictions except when those restrictions
are necessary. Speaking as an American,
I am confident that such restrictions as
may be made by the United States con
cerning Immigration will be made with a
view of preserving amicable relations
rather than with thought of offending. It
would be a mistaken kindness for either
nation to permit Immigration to such an
extent as to raise a race question or to
excite race animosities. Tour nation has
had experience enough in Corea and
China to know what race prejudice Is In
human nature.
Meet Japan With Candor.
"Animated by a desire to do justice and
sincerely anxious to be on good terms
with all the world, our Nation will meet
Japan in a spirit of candor, and I have no
doubt that such differences of opinion as
may from time to time arise will be set
tled to the satisfaction of both nations
through their diplomatic representatives."
WOULD MAKE RED WHITE
"Experts" Find Signal Lights Have
Two Meanings on Railroads.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17. (Special.)
The Board of Experts appointed to In
vestigate the signal system of rail
roads of the United States will be con
fronted at the outset with the fact that
there has been completed a more or
less startling revolution In block-signal
practice during recent years. This
Is nothing less than changing the
universal and time-honored white light
from safety to danger signal.
Ever since block-signaling went Into
effect on American railways, and even
before that time, the white light at
night has been notice of safety to men
on "head end." It etill is so on a ma
jority of the lines, but generally man
agers throughout the country have de
cided almost without exception that the
best signal practice discards the white
light us a sign of "clear ahead" and
transfer Its meaning to "something
wrong; stop immediately."
This revised language has become
such because of the fact that it has
been discarded from the signal lex
Icon of the best authorities and by
many of the largest railway systems
of the United-States.
