On the Issue of Americanism There Can Be No Compromise
SEATTLE. WASH., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1922
LIBERAL
FORCES
BITTER!
Short's Letter Favoring Lamping Is
Cause of Sharp Rebukes From
Griffiths and Mrs. Axtell
BY ROIIKRT BASTIEN BERMANN
With all hop* of conciliation abandoned, the three pro
gresaive candidates for the senatorial nomination were ap
parently hopelessly est ran Red Wednesday and the anti-
Poindexter forces consequently were divided into three
armed camps.
Fiery statements were issued by both Judge Austin E.
Griffiths and Mrs. Frances Axtell, following the action of
William Short, president of the State Federation of I*abor,
in dispatching a letter to all labor organizations, intimating
that Griffiths and Mrs. Axtell should withdraw and leave
Col. George B. Lamping a clear field.
Mrs. Axtell asserted that "Short and Lamping are in a
conspiracy with Hearst" to drive her out of tho race.
Griffiths charged that Lamping was deliberately working
in Poindexter's interest, in an effort to get the governor's
chair two years hence in payment.
"William Short is now reported for Ijunping," he said.
"Not long ago he was reported fcr Mrs. Axtell. If true,
his second blunder is worst than hi« first.
Declare* Voters Cannot be Herded
Like Sheep to Support Lamping
"It has come to pass as I said it would. Short says Mrs.
Axtell'a campaign is a 'dismal failure.' He will find Lamp
ing's campaign a shameful failure. Lamping for senator
is a farce. Mrs. Axtell, altho Mistaken, is sincere.
"I told Mr. Short and others at the start that no paper
committee could deliver the women voters to any candidate,
lie DOW admits that in the press. Nor can the workers
be branded by Short and herded to Lamping like a drove
of cattle.
"Now, Lamping and Mrs. Axtell, like 'the yellow dog and
the calico cat,' are 'eating each other up.'
"Lit the Ax-tell on the 'gallant' colonel. Poor Short is
seeing the fight. I suppose he enjoys it. Does he?
"Meanwhile, both Mrs. Axtell and Lamping have done
their best, the former laboring under an honest delusion
and led by some foolish and slippery leaders, the other de
lilterately, with malice aforethought, to cut my throat to
elect Poindexter.
Charge* That Lamping WM Real
Stumbling Block to Elimination Step
"It can't be done. The liberal and progressive voters
will come to me.
"The propaganda of lamping and Short that I blocked
the road to unification of forces against Poindexter is
fab**. I have always sought that end. 1 do now. The last
conference of Mrs. Axtell. lumping and myself was utterly
blocked and ended by lumping. He insisted on a compulsory
committee elimination selection. I loth of us said we were
as able as any committee to do it. It was no use to pro
pose an informal ballot to begin with. lamping appeared
at this last conference to be obsessed with the notion that
he alone could get publicity thru a certain paper. He
wanted a dead open-and-shut sort of committee (for Lamp
ing) to decide who should run.
"I am still for conference, but not for compulsion.
"Unlike lumping, I have not tho curse of the Hearst
collar around my neck.
"Leadership comes from confidence. The people can put
no confidence in a man like Lamping for the great office
of senator in these critical times.
"Judged by his public utte
know what he said the last
the next.
"The truth Is that he Is charging
around Ilk® a bull In a rhlna whop.
b*oauiMi hit want* to run for govern-
or two year* from now.
"For thts men* of pottag* he
would. If he could, destroy all hope
of the liberal people to defeat Sena
tor I'oindexter.
"lie masquerade* aa a republican.
He opposes, as doe* hi* Hearst keep
er, the Washington treaties. These
treatlea are now the nailonnl policy
for at least ten years. They Insure
us pence for that time—and longer.
'The greater future of this city
and state Is on the Pacific. That can
come only by peace and security.
"How can any republican, or any
man or woman of sane mind or busi
nes* Instincts, vote for Col. Ijimp-
Irrg?"
When read the reference to his last
conference with Griffith* and Mrs.
Axtell, Lamping refused to either
confirm or deny the charge that ha
had blocked efforts toward elimina
tion.
"I am surprised." wns all lie
would say. "My whole altitude
lias been lo be fair, open and
ahov aboard?."
NIIOKT'H I.K.TTKft
TO I,\IIOIt I'NIOVS
Short's letter, which brought on
the whole controversy, follows:
"Six days remain before the pri
mary election.
"Unfortunately, despite our best
efforts, the campaign to secure the
republican nomination for I'nlted
Slates senator for Mrs Fiance* C.
Axtell has proven a dismal failure.
"We are now confronted with a
critical situation, which Is not alto-
ranees he shows he does not
minute or what he will say
gether hopeless for the force* which
are seeking the defeat of Mile* Poln
dexter. The elimination of two of
til* three progressive candidate* for
the republican nomination would
have Insured success next Tuesday.
l'«*plte my be*t efforta, and the be*t
: ' f fori * ot the official* of the State
| Federation, thl* has not been accom-
I pushed First, because Judge Austin
! K. Griffiths ha* consistently refuaed
!to 1-onxlder any conference which
, might result In hi* own elimination,
and. aecondly, because at the last mo
ment Mr*. Axtell and her Immediate
following withdrew the offer to sub
mlt themselves to any plan which
' might bring about unity.
"Faced by thl* situation, confer

ave., Seattle, last winter, will face new and sensational evi
dence when she returns to Seattle, according to Prosecut

Douglas said Wednesday that his investigators, acting
in conjunction with the police, had unearthed much new
evidence pointing to the theory that Clara Skarin killed
Hockbrunn with a motive of robberv.
Douglas scouted the theory that a man had any connection
with the murder. He believes the woman may have had
a sweetheart, but that she committed the actual murder
herself.
It was upon this additional evidence that a charge of
first degree murder was filed in Justice C. C. Dalton's court
Tuesday, and a copy of the warrant telegraphed to Lieut,
of Detectives W. B. Kent, who arrived in Oakland the same
day to take charge of Miss Skarin.
