GIANTS FIGHT DESPERATELY AND WIN
STRAW VOTE SHOWS
WILSON AND T. R.
RUNNING CLOSE
I BY GILKON GARDNER.
- WASHINGTON, D. 0., Oct. 14.
That Roosevelt Is at present
Baediiig both of the other can
ididntes in Indiana and Pennsyl
vania and that he is running he
liiiiil both Wilson and Tuft in
New York state, is the showing
of 11 postal card straw vote mode
by your correspondent. *
The figures are:
Indiana —Roosevelt, 106; Wil
son, 74; Taft, 35; Debts, 25;
Chafin, 4; Reiner (Socialist-La
bor), 1.
Pennsylvania— 72;
Wilson, 54; Taft, 51; Debts, 21;
Reiner, 1.
NEW YORK— 91;
Taft, 64; Roosevelt, 48; Debs,
12; Chafin, 8; undecided, 2. ,
It is not claimed that this poll
is conclusive nor that it is at all
complete as to the states. It Is
simply a straw in the wind, ac
curate so far as it affects the
lacalitles where the poll was
taken.
These three states were chosen
because they are regarded as piv
otal. Whatever happens in the
other parts of the country, the
hi6tory-making vote will be that
cast in the three states.
It looks now as if Roosevelt
would have a "Solid West," to
match Woodrow Wilson's "Solid
South," and that the battle will
turn on what happens in the
states of the Middle West and
the East. These are sample
states in these sections.
It is significant that in both In
diana and Pennsylvania Taft is
running a rather poor third. This
bears out other polls and corrob
orates the statements made by
Hiram Johnson and Senator Dixon
that throughout the West at least
Taft is a negligible quantity, and
it would Indicate that in parts of
the East he is equally negligible.
CHILD VICTIM
FAMILY
I That little Joe T>lnsky, the B
rear-oltl sun of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob
llliisky, 1218 JCiist 24th Ms., who
died in convulsions Saturday aft
ernoon after eating from a box of
chocolates which ho had picked
up while playing In the yard, was
the victim of enemies who have
been hounding the father for a
number of years, is the theory
upon which the police detectives
•re working today.
Chemical examination of the
itomachs of two geese which
dropped dead in the yard at the
tame time as the death of the
child. will be complete late this
afternoon, and City Chemist C. S.
Wilson stated this morning that,
although he was not positive at
that time, every Indication pointed
to strychnine poisoning as. the
cause of death.
In support of their theory, the
police discovered today that three
years ago the home in which the
Dinsky family lived was fired by
incendiaries.
Captain John Fitzgerald of the
detectives would give out no In
formation today, the workings of
his men being kept a secret. . V
Owing to the fact that the
frantic mother destroyed the box
of candy when the child first be
came ill, the city chemist's office
has been somewhat hampered in
determining (.he character of the
poison. ! The two dead geese and
a dog which died Saturday after
noon afford the only means of
solving the mystery as the parents
of the dead babe have forbidden
the coroner holding an autopsy,
and a/c grieving over their child's
body,. which they refuse to < allow
being taken ;out of ■ the home. -. Ii

THE ONLY INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER IN TACOMA
though in New York he still has
some strength. He Is second man
there, and Roosevelt third.
Wilson leads in New York. .
It is equally significant that
Wilson has a long lead on Taft in
New York state. It should be re
membered, however, that no cam
paign has as yet been made in
New York state. The state tick
ets have only just been nominat
ed, and all the conditions of the
poll were as unfavorable as pos
sible for Roosevelt. After he has
campaigned the East, and particu
larly in New York, and after the
democratic nominations have been
looked over by the voters and the
latter have had a chance to take
stock, the results may he very
much changed. This poll also
leaves out of account Greater
New York, which always is a
large factor in national election-*
but generally on the side of the
democratic candidate.
Must Carry New York
Unless Rooaevelt can break the
Solid South, it is necessary for
him to carry New York in order
to have enough votes to win.
Even should he carry Pennsyl
vania and Indiana, with the oth
er states of similar political com
plexion, should he lose New York,
he would lack the votes necessary
to win. Probably as never before,
therefore, New York is the pivot
al state on which this election
turns.
Another interesting feature of
this poll is the strong showing of
Debs, the socialist candidate. In
Indiana, Debs polls 25 to Taft's
35. In Pennsylvania, he has 21
to Taft's 61; nnd in New York,
12 to Roosevelt's 48. This would
seem to indicate that the socialist
vote will not be materially af
fected by Roosevelt's candidacy,
but that Roosevelt will draw his
strength from the two old parties
in the main.

found by the child lying close up
against the fence near the back
gate. It was only partially filled.
It Is believed the two dead birds
and the dog ate from the box be
fore the child found it, or that he
divided with them as he played
in the yard.
Both parents of the dead child
speak bu tbrokenly, and it was
with difficulty that they explain
ed the child's death to the police.
Today th epolice found that
when the Dinsky family moved to
their present home • three years
ago thei rold house was burned
to the ground, the fire being set
by someone unknown.
The father believes he is be
ing hounded by enemies, and* the
police are straining every point
to determine the identity of the
person who placed the candy by
the gate. They think this person
will prove to be the one who fired
the Dinsky home three yearß ago.
MAY BE AN
ESCAPED CONVICT
John Murray, now at the coun
ty hospital with gunshot wounds
in both legs as the result of an
encounter with Patrolman Strick

a Montana convict who escaped
from a road gang at Deer Lod^ge
last winter.
A letter from Deer Lodge re
ceived here today state* that the
wounded man is probably the es
caped convict, and says that $100
reward Is offered for the return
of the convict to the penitentiary.
The city today received pay

PROGRESSIVE MEETING
Progressives are coming from all over the county
for the big rally here Friday night, when Bob Hodge,
Senator Poindexter and W. H. Paulhamus will be at
the armory.
The meeting will be the one big political event of
this campaign, and it is expected the armory will be
filled.
Paulhamus is taking off his coat and getting
right into the campaign and Senator Poindexter is
doing likewise. It has been a long time since three
such good fighters have been on one platform in this
city.

IS IN BAD
(By United Press Leased Wire.)
VANCOUVER, B. C, Oct. 14. —
Harold A. McNaughton, promin
ent in Vancouver society, is being
held here today for the alleged
slaying of Ernest Spinard, a
young steel worker, in an alter
cation over the 15-year-old wife
of the latter. Spinard. is dead
after being unconscious for sever
al days as the result of a blow
from a heavy umbrella handle, al
leged to have been struck by Mc-
Naughton after he had been found
with Spinard's wife.
The affray was the culmina
tion of a number of excursions
taken by Mrs. Spinard with other
youths of the neighborhood, it is
said.
Finding his wife absent from
home recently he sought her out
and found her walking with Mc-
Naughton. A fight followed, and
it is alleged McNaughton brought
it to a sudden stop with a smash
ing blow from his umbrella.
Spinard never regained conscious

ing every nerve and bruin imriirle to lay hunds upon her. And
the $ 100,000,000,000,000.80 in gold Offered as a reward still occu
pies the Times' sock.
She has had some narrow escapes. Oh yes! She has been
followed constantly by thousands of. eager, ravenous, would-be
sleuths, each with 4,000 latest copies ofi the Times in his pockets,
and laden with the required toi) of coal; SUO gallons of soda pop
and cake of ice, all of whom are eager to cop the dough.
Miss Flitty describes a scene at the coiner of Pacific avenue
and South 9i)th street for the benefit of those who doubt her ex
istence.
"There was seven guys and a couple of skirts standing on the
corner," says the elusive and dainty Flitty in her most elegant
rhetoric. "One gink was talktngiabout mull. I felt so nervous. One
of the girls was chewing gum. She had a bad eye. I thought she
knew me, for she asked the direction to the nearest coal mine. I
was afraid she was going after the ton of coal and I legged It down
the alley. 'Nix on being ketched,' says I."

that Flllty is a small woman, someS !'■ ■>■». 10 inches, in her stocking

LAWSON NIPPED
IN THE BUD
The scheme to hnnd Judge W.
P. Reynolds a fee of from #5,000
to $0,500 for helping the city at
torneys try the lawsuits with the
Ohm river contractors slipped a
cog in the council this morning.
l.i-.-t week a l< li< r was sprung
in the council from Judge Stiles
asking tliat Ki-ynolils be secured.
The council concurred. Then R*jr
uolds asked »5,000 for the Me-
Hugh can and wanted more for
the others.
The mayor and Freeland saw
him, tried to Ret him down but
I lie best he would do was $5,000
for McHugh and Fowler cases,
win or lose, w4th extra pay up to
$1,500 for the Wright case If he
sues.
Seymour, Mills, Preeland and
Woods thought the price too high.
Mills wanted to know whether
Stiles really wanted help. Stiles
was called In. He said the case
waa Just like any other, the more
lawyers the better, possibly, but
he was not alarmed.
"But you asked for help," said
the mayor.
"But you know how I came to
do it," retorted Stiles.
"I thought It would come out,"
said Mills.
Then Niick Lawson got excited.
He Insisted thai there should tbe
outside help and that the council
should hire Reynolds willy nilly.
The rest of the council could not
see it.
They finally agreed to leave the
whole thing to Judge Stiles and If
he wants help he can get it not
HIT IN THE FIRST HALF OF
to exceed $5,000 in cost, for all
the cases.
. It developed that Lawson had
started the scheme to get Rey
noldt^in on the Green river money
and Judge Stiles was asked to
ask for help.
Frank Baker told the council
that ptiles did not need help on
toe rase, that it was a law case,
would not lie tried by a jury and
thai no man in town knows the
law as Stiles does.
