Wi son Is Playing a Clever Game and Is Fighting Desperately. The hidden hand of the Northern Pa cific Ik the cntrolllng poVer In Washing ton st:le pnllilcs, Is, the opinion of U. 8 Jeriud pollli. lull and prominent property owner of liavton. Wash.. who is spend ing the holidays In this city, a guest at the Hotel Perkins. The railroads are not out to be skinned In in. cani-.aign for Senator." he said this morning to a reporter for The J"l,r nal, "and juu may bank upon It they will w!n ' There is no doubting the fact that they mo honest In their support of Lvl Anken: for I nited States Senator, but they are determined to win. If Ankeny cannot make the race and carry, the rail roads will groom up a dark horse and rush him throuKh. He may he nasiiess-Ju In sei .et. He may talk and look like a farmer He may be so well oiled P dlt lcaHy that he will slip down the tlirouts of the public. UN election may even cause the cry that tile ral'roads have been skinned. Hut. mark what 1 tell you, the railroads will carry off the prize. " Mr. Jera-.d Is not a niembtr of th? Washington Legislature at the present time, but he served two terms in that body in the past. He will be on hand, however, when the Representatives and State Senators uather at (Mympla. and will watch the battle for the mast, ry with us much Interest its though he were able to cast a vote In the affuir. WILSON IS DESPERATE. "Ankeny has the best of the race thus far," he said, "but you must watch John L. Wilson. That man is desperate, and it is when he seems to be playing a los ing game that he Is the strongest. He has more lives politically than a cat, nnd is as shrewd as Satan. He is not plan ning for first choice, but la laying back for the dark horse chances. "McHrlde need not think he ha been called from on high. The railroads will never work with him and he canuo't suc ceed without them There has not been a political move of any significance made In the State of Washington Tor years mat the Northern Pacific was not behind It. The railroad Interests arc not out to lose and they will not lose. WILSON'S GAME. "The attempt that is being made by John L. Wilson to prevent a mucus Is a shrewd one. it Is in line with the rest of his pollcv. If he can prevent a caucus and- stave "the matter Tiff-urtttl -it beirtns to look like a deadlock, then he will stand a mlghtv fine chance. The legislature does not begin balloting for Senator until January 2. and there is time yet for much to Ik- accomplished by a determined man with money. Influence and powerful press support." ..... How long would tlja roitroads support Ankenv in the-evPht of a deadlock?' vat asked nf "Mr. Jcrard. lie said: "1 said before that the railroads were honest In their support of Ankeny. They will stand with him until they gee there Is no chance for his election. They will put him into the position if they can." CHANCES OF" DEADLOCK. "What are the chances for a deadlock?" was asked. "They are mighty good, if Wilson suc ceeds In his present policy of preventing a caucus," replied Mr. Jerard. "I seriously question whether there can be an election on joint ballot. Ankeny would hove the majority, but It would not be enough. That Is the belief of Wilson, too. Preston cannot win on a straight vote, and if Ankeny cannot, it will then be up to the railroad people to settle themselves upon a candidate who will carry them to victory. Whether this choice must be made In secret will re main to be seen. "Of course, I may have the situation sized up a trifle wrong, and It may not be necessary for a dark horse to be brought Into the race at all. But It looks as though an unknown man would take the' office now." TOO RADICAL TO SUIT HAY Pope Will Be Asked Not to Ap point Messmer to Bishopric. ROME, Jan. 2. Secretary Hay has ad dressed a communication to the Vatican protesting against the appointment of Monselgneur Messmer of Green Bay, Wis., to the office of Bishop of Manila.
