Campaign of Public Welfare League to Close Resorts Orves Sound City Unsavory Reputation and Drives Away

SEATTLE. Nov:nber 5- (Special.)
In lt tnrulur fluht for purity,
the Public Welfare Lue of Seat
tle appear to have .owed the wind
an! to be about to reap the whirlwind.
At any rate, the manager of numeroua
business houses are feellns; the harm
ful effects of undesirable publicity
given to the city.
Kor example, several hundreds of
thousands of Alaskan gold have arrived
here since the close of the season in the
North: and a direct effes-t of thei situa
tion for a closed town, and the snr
Tetltante placed oer the vlcloua ele
ment. Is to have the result. It is said, of
drtvins: the owners of the gold, who
usually are hereby scores and hun
dreds to Portland and 8an Francisco
tor tHe Winter. Thee are notoriously
,oj soenders. and Seattle stands t
lose a share of profitable trade usually
regarded a peculiarly Seattle" own.
Furthermore, the complaint has been
made that the Welfare League. In its
seal to correct the misdeeds or tne cny.
has scattered an unfavorable story far
and wide, so that tourist travel to this
place has practically ceased. This bad
Impression has been sent out at the
very moment there Is big talk about a
million - dollar fund, with first - rate
prospects of raising money for pub
licity of the entire Coast, to attract the
trade that had Just . been frightened
away. Other cities. It Is said, are open
to criticism quite as much as Seattle
In their management of the vicious ele
ment, but they do not make the mistake
of parading their bad morals so that
the whole world may see and hear.
The movement in this city hss
reached the point where the petition
for the recall of Mayor Gill ha re
ceived about 10.000 signatures more
than enough. If they are all found to
be bona fide; but at the same time
there Is no doubt that the . town has
become heartily tired of the endless
agitation and the parade of the re
stricted district as the most Important
feature of Seattle. The situation is
aggravated when the pockets of the
merchants begin to be touched by re
flex action.
A controversy "which has been
threshed out tomlnnte details Is that
relating to a site for the -proposed
museum building of the Washington
State .',rt Association. At first there
did not appear to be much difficulty
In the way. But when the management
of the association tried for a place In
Volunteer Psrk they . raised the hos
tility of th Municipal Plana Commis
sion, and the scheme was Dlockea on
.w. t... .v.. n.rlc Is relatively
small and the museum building would
destroy Its landscape features.
In the campaign that followed, prac
tically every museum in the United
States has been drawn upon for an ar
gument for one side or the other. The
most recent communication is from J.
C. Olmsted, the noted park expert, who
talks convincingly about the New York
Museum, of Natural History. Metropoli
tan Museum In Central Park. Chicago's
Art Institute, the Art Museum in For
est Park, St. Louis, the Albright Art
Gallery and Historical Society buildings
In Delaware Park. Buffalo, And the
Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences
all as arguments apalnst placing; the
Washington Museum building In a Sa
attle park. The situation is compli
cated bv the fact that the Muncipal
Plans' Commission Is opposed to the
idea, and the- several of its members
are also Park Commissioners.
A so-caTied labor, movement that ap
proaches closely to a fraternal order
has been organized under the laws of
Washington. It Is called the Brother
hood of Independent Mechanics. ,Its
principles are hostile to most of the
present-day unionism. It opposes the
closed shop; It demands of no man that
he belong to the organisation, nor does
It say to him that he "shall not work,
nor eat, nor feed his family;" It places
no restrictions upon the worklngman's
free and Independent right to labor
when and where and for whom he may
please, and It offers "all available as
sistance to fit him for life's position."
The reason of the organlzatidn Is
stated to be that the Pacific Coast at
this time Is suffering from the burden
of unionism more than any other sec
tion of the United States. "Going
back to the Alaaka-Yukbn-Paclftc Ex
position," the Mechanics say, "we find
a condition where not only employers
and employes became Interested in labor
conflicts, but the general public as well.
When the great efforts made by our
people In launching the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
Exposition were balked and
brought to a standstill throught a boy
cott placed there by organized labor,
there arose the command from all quar
ters: "Halt! You have gone , far
enough!"
The offlcens of the organization are:
Grand master, F. W. Phelps: vice
grand master, M. M. Winningham:
grand secretary, G. W. Merrick: grand
treasurer, E. S. Gill: grand medical di
rector. Dr. F.ohald Smith; grand insur
ance manager. George Montgomery;
grand organizer. L. W. Bast. The In
tention is to carry the movement to
Tacoma, Portland and other cities of
the Paclfice Northwest.
King County's Anti-Tuberculosis
League, under the presidency of H. C
Henry, is acquiring numerous blocks f
stock in the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific.
Donations of stock in the big fair now
exceed 20,000 shares. The Great North
ern has given 2500 shares; Canadian
Pacific, 1000; Chicago, Milwaukee &
Puget Sound, 1000, while merchants and
other citizens have made numerous do
nations, ranging from 250 to 500 shares
each. When the affairs of the Expo
sition are finally wound up, with a
small return of original subscriptions.
It is expected that the Anti-Tuberculosis
League will realize a considerable
sum.
While the Puget Sound Electric Com
pany Is In court over a question of
rates, and is facing a year-old boycott
from the residents of the Duwamish
Valley; the Seattle-Tacoma Short Line,
projected from West Seattle close to the
shore of the sound, has been granted
a new lease of life. The company,
which is represented by James B. Mur
phy, experienced trouble In floating
bonds, and on that account permitted
tis franchise to lapse. On a showing
before the County Commissioners an
extension of three months was granted,
within which time active construction
must commence.. The franchise pro
vides for a 6-eent fare within the city
limits, with half fare to school children.
The Puget Sound Electric has no fran
chise within the city, and has been ac
customed to charge mileage rates.
Democrats Are Strongly Opposed to
County Option, and Are Thought
to Have Support of Brewers.
Condition Is Chaotic.
MILWAUKEE, Nov. S. Political con
ditions In Wisconsin are In a state of
chaos. Party , lines are entirely ob
literated. The results of the primary
election are being disregarded by lead
ing Republican c: ndldates on state and
county tickets. . The Republican candi
date for Governor Is outspoken against
the candidate for Attorney-General on
the Republican state ticket and 1b
making every effort to interest the
voters, and particularly Republicans,
in Charles H. Crownhart, who is run
ning independently. Mr. Crownhart is
the political manager of Senator La
Follette, who, it Is understood, advised
him to run as an independent after
the Supreme Court decided that Levi
H. Bancroft was the rightful nominee
for the office, the votes cast for the
dead candidate, F. T. Tucker, being so
much waste paper.
Breweries Support Democrats.
The Democrats are putting up the
strongest campaign of the last 30
years. They are believed to have the
support of the brewery Interests,
though if such support is given it is
given under cover. The county option
people have already announced that,
they will cause a county option bill to
be introduced, not with expectations of.
havlnir it enacted into law, but to get,
a line-up of the members of the Legis
lature. The Democrats stand on
Strang platform against county option.
while the Republicans are siiem on
this much-mooted question. repre
sentative Weisse is making the cam
paign of his life to secure the elec
tion of Democratic members to the
T o.l.latii,. ka tanrliriAtP ' for' "tllfl
United States Senatorship"" r:6uc?esi,"'
La Follette he must have a sufficient
ly large number of Legislators on his
side. It is generally conceded that he
will receipts soir.e Republican hold
over votes, but he will require alout
70 votes in all, and heretofore the
Democrats have been lucky when they
had half that number in the state leg
islature. Bancroft Is . Denounced.
Meanwhile a bitter fight is going on'
within the Republican party Itself, due
to the repudiation of Judge Bancroft,
who is being denounced in unmeasured
words by every candidate on the state
ticket, notwithstanding he offered his
services and his financial support to
his fellow candidates. He was one of
the original La Follette supporters, and
as such was the butt of the stalwarts.
Later he was weaned away, and now
again he is trying to make his peace
with La Follette, declaring his sym
pathy always was with the progressive
cause.
However much this repudiation may
have pleased the "progressive" ele
ment, it has caused anxiety among
county and Legislative candidates, par
ticularly in close districts, who fear
that insistence on voting against Ban
croft will make havoc for the minor
tickets. If the Democrats take ad
vantage of their opportunities, there is
no question that they can win in a
large number of counties, despite the
fact that the party has no ticket in the
field in 34 counties, due to the fact
that under the 20 per cent law decision
they failed of getting on the official
ballot.
In Milwaukee. County they were
saved by the decision of a Circuit Court
Judge, who ruled that unmarked Demo
cratic ballots must be counted for Dem
ocratic candidates who had no opposi
tion at the polls. This opinion will
place nearly every Democrat on tho
ticket.
Socialists Expect Harvest. ...
The Socialists expected to reap L- a
harvest of Democratic votes In Milwau
kee County because of the adverse de
cision of the Supreme Court, figuring
that the Democrats would vote for their
candidates to spite the Republicans.
With the more recent decision of the.
lower court staring at them they are
redoubling their efforts to gain the
county administration, fearing that
present loss will be interpreted by the
public as a repudiation of the city ad
ministration, which thus .far has failed
to . keeD any of its promises of last
Spring. They are making the hardest
kind of efforts to land Victor L. Berger
in Congress, believing they have a bet
ter chance In the Fifth than in Fourth
District, where Representative Cary is
meeting with considerable success, sav
ing the unanimous support of the Re
publican party, which cannot be said oi
Henry F. Cochems, the Republican can-1
didate in the Fourth, who defeated Rep
resentative Stafford. .,
Women Ask' Reforms.
The Wisconsin branch of the Consum
ers' League will engage lobbyists this
Winter to appear before the state Leg
islature in behalf of two bills to be
introduced on its behalf. The first of
these bills calls for the employment -of
at least two additional women factory
Inspectors. Wisconsin has but one wo
man factory inspector, notwithstanding
that, according to official data, over
31.000 women are employed in factories
and stores of the state. The league
contends that no man inspector ccn
look after the needs of women wage- ,
earners. The other bill in which the
organization Is vitally interested calls
for the appointment of a minimum wage '
board. It is argued that the wages paid
In stores and factories to women aro
Inadequate and to often result in forc
ing women and particularly girls com
ing to the cities from the country, Into
seeking improper means of subsistence.
The Consumers' League also will at
tempt to cause a more rigid enforce
ment of the pure-food law. and in this
work will have the co-operation of the
