The rejection of Rev. w..1. Hindley as a fraternaldelegate to the Central La-hor union -will he formallyput before President Gomp-ers of the American Federa-tion of Labor by the actionof the Typographical unionin adopting resolutions ofwithdrawal from the centralbody.

The Typographical union lastnight formally notified the CentralLabor union ot its withdrawal fromthat body on account of the rejec-

tion of the credentials of Rev. \V.J. Hindley as a fraternal delegate.

Resolutions adopted hy the union,

which In scathing terms denounced.the action of the central body in

this particular instance, were readlast night.

The resolutions charged the re-fusal of admission to the meetings

of the central body to a representa-

tive of The Press to the saloon in-fluence, and also stated that thesame influence had threatened t_o_

have the representative of the| Printing Pressmen expelled be-

cause of the stand taken by thatorganization in favor of seatingRev. Hindley.

The printers also denounced the! state representative of the Ameri-can Federation of Labor. C. O.

j Young, in the following language:j "That we regret that the state rep-resentative of the American Fed-eration of Labor should throw hisinfluence and efTorls upon the sitleso manifestly against the best in-terests of organized labor of thiscity, as well as distinctly at

variance with the expressly policyof the American Federation ofLabor."

The reading of the resolutionswas received without comment, noattempt being made to deny or dis-prove any charge preferred by theTypographical union.

The matter was referred to theorganization committee to see whataction can he taken for the pur-pose of bringing pressure to hear

ion the union to return its represen-tatives.

MOORE SCOREDON DOUST

The fact that W. .T. Doust. can-didate for mayor on the republicanticket, did not accept the invitationof the Fourth Ward Civic club and

address it and state his policy in

the matter of administering city af-fairs, if elected, today has createdconsiderable adverse criticism, par-ticularly because C. Herbert Moore,

ihe other candidate on the republi-can ticket, addressed the Civic clubof the German eMthodiat church

and stated that he was in favor ofa cleaner and more moral adminis-tration than that now In power.

Doust and his lieutenants steadfastly refuse to announce them-selves either for or against localconditions coming up as an issueIn the campaign.

Cordon Corbaley has takencharge of the registration for theMoore campaign and at a meeting

in Dahms & Wheeler's office lastnight laid plans to boost registra-tion and get the Moore men out to

the primaries. E. F. Waggoner, theDoust marshal of registration, is

about a week ahead of Corbaley.having heen strenuously at thissort of worl; and having sent postcards to every voter in the city urg-

ing immediate registration.The 10,000 mark has been pass-

ed in the registration books andtonight there will be more than10.Son registered. It will be sev-eral days yet before the heavierregistration will begin. The fig-

ures of E. F. Waggoner, who says

he expects a 14,000 registration

and 12.000 vote, are considered too

high by old politicians. Not morethan 7o per cent of the registrationhas voted In the past history of thecity.

OUTBURSTS OF EVERETT TRUE

CANDIDATES ARE CAREFULTalk about your graceful side-

stepping," said Dr. Munro thismorning, "We had iho greatestexhibition of the art at the moot-ing last night of tho Fourth WardImprovement club. The Spokes-man-Review says that candidate J.T, Snyder favored the initiativeand referendum. Mr. Snyder didnot say anything of the kind. Wiiathe did say was that the law mightlie a good tiling." He did not be-lieve in raising saloon licenses.

The answers of other candidatesan' said to have been about asdefinite on many of the questionsasked by members of the club.

George M. Reasoner, republicancandidate for councilman, said hewas heartily in favor of the initia-tive and referendum, hut would notcommit himself on Sunday closing.

Ceorgj w. Burcn, democrat;Robert L. Dalke. republican; ("has.

W. Mohr, republican, and .lamesMaxwell, democrat, all sidesteppedtho Sunday closing of saloons.

.\. .1 Laumer, democrat candidatefor re-election, promised to con-tinue his efforts for the bettermentof the ward. Frank Ledwith cameout squarely and said he did not.favor Sunday closing and wouldgive 1 man all tho licenses hewanted as long as he conducted anorderly house.

J. T. Synder baa the backing ofthe saloon element and the W. W.P. Co. it is known that "Dutch.lake" attempted to rrerea; Council-man Laumer' for Snyder al the lastelection. There is little doubt hutthe reputed boss of the \u25a0'Tender-loin" was acting for the powermonopoly.

The scheme adopted was to se-cure the assistance of the waid rep-resentative of the Retail LiquorDealers' association and throughhim convince B. Schade. the brew-er, that the association wns out todefeat Laumer. Schade has anumber of saloons along North 'Monroe and these saloon men were jinstructed to go down tho lineagainst Laumer. When Schade wasinformed that the whole thing wasa Job to defeat Laumer and thatthe liquor dealers had not starteda fight against Laumer, he calledhis forces off and refused to per-mit himself to be used for the pur-pose of electing W. W. P. can-didates.

E. A. Cooney, democrat candidatefor council, sent it Utter, being un-

able to be present in person, stat-jing he favored the initiative and

referendum law and tne strict reg-julation of vice.

RUEF AS RUEF SEES HIM

BY C. H. TAVENNERIj SAN FRANCISCO, April 2.~"Af-tei nil, Mr, Ruef. does it really pay

Ito be a politician ?"

Small, book-nosed, but with hisI eyes radiant with onihusiasm, thei shrewde st of all political bossesi meditated. He was In one of his

6 rooma at tbe St. Francis hotel.|If he would have as much as turn-ied the knob of his door and lookedlout Into the hallway he would have

seen a half dozen detectives peek-

ing around the corners."I will give you my v iews," he ,

said Obligingly, "but I don't expect jto see them in print. Newspapers inever quote me coirectly.

"It does pay- It P avf' business |men to take interest in politics be-,cause on the kind of officials theyput into office depends the pros-jparity of the city. It pays theWOrklngman because his taxes willbe higher if an extravagant or cor-rupt man is at the bead of the city's

government. " pays women tostudy politics because politics di-rectly affects the public schools.

"Any man thai doesn't vote is a

criminal. If there is grafting

among city officials all the menthat di'ln't vote at the election thatput them in office should be rounded up and charged jointly with theoffenders.

"There is no city, county or statethat has an absolutely pure govern-ment, and there never will be un-til everybody votes.

"Yes, it pays to be a i>o!itioian.but not an office holder. There isa continual rain of mud on publicservants. Faithfulness is not ap-

preciated. But few good men wantto accept an office."

"But. does it pay to be in poli-tics if you are going to lie honest?''the political boss was asked.

"There is no profession in whichdishonesty pays," he answeredsmilingly.

"But you made money in poli-tics, didn't you?" asked one of thenewspaper men.

"The very Idea," exclaimed thesharp little man. "I made my

money in real estate."' Ruef is of the type of men who

1 thinks twice before lie speaks andthen says something else. He

I never loses his head, but savesI half his anger for the next time!,

Nor is he built along the line-of the typical "ward healer." lieis neither blunt nor coarse. If

you would call him a thief, hewould probably smilingly assureyou you were in the wrong.

And if he should start to assureyou of anything, he would no donbt

SPOKANE PRESS, TUESDAY, APRIL 2,1907.accomplish his purpose. For it isin his personality that this greatlittle man stands head and should-ers above any political boss thatany city ever produced. Men go tohis office furious with rage andcoem out smiling. He is alwayscourteous, always patient and al-ways persistent.

On the street Ruef would neverbe taken for the genius he is, how-ever. You might think him a well-to-do second hand dealer, but neverfor a man who made a clean mil-lion out of the political game, andthat without ever having held anofTVee.

Ruef has the reputation of"sticking" by his friends. Al-though 4J) years old he was nevermarried. "My sister is my sweet-heart." is the way he puts it.

And the real fact is that Ruefstill has political friends aplenty,more than Mayor Schmitz, nodoubt. San Francisco is glad tobe free from his power, yet for thislittle man who could do things anoccasional kind word is heard.

CENTRAL LABORUNION SAYSSHOW IIP

An effort was made last night byseveral delegates to the CentralLabor union to shut off the publi-cation of answers of candidates foroffice with reference to the city in-stalling a light and power plantand the insertion of an arbitrationclause in all public utility fran-chises. Tho propounding of thesequestions was for the purpose ofcrystalizing sentiment in favor ofthese improvements.

Those opposed to publishing re-plies of candidates said a numberof the staunch friends of organizedlabor now in office had requestedthat such action be taken by thecentral body, as they did not wantpublicity, being afraid they wouldlose some votes if they went onrecord for these propositions.

E. A. Cooney, candidate for coun-cilman in the Fourth ward, said hewas not in favor of the motion andwanted every candidate to be com-pelled to place himself on recordon these questions. Others held to

the same view ami Ihe motion waslost, witli the result that some ofthe "gumshoe" politicians \u25a0will haveto go on record publicly one wayor the other.

The Central Labor union alsovoted down a proposition to try topledge candidates for office to sup-port any move sanctioned by theCentral Labor union and theStructural alliance.

John McChessney, candidate forthe nomination for comptroller onthe republican ticket, said he wasopposed to the entire proposition,that no man would want to pledgehimself in advance for measure ofwhich lie knew nothing.

The Clerks' union reported mak-ing progress. The demand forservice by union clerks on thepart of union men is having agood effect in building up the localunion.
