Things went on amicably enough until the state republican convention at Bellingham tn 1920, when Mrs. Sweetman learned of conditions which made her accuse Whitney of infidelity, “I won't do anything while the convention is on,” she says she told him, “but after it's over— you'll get yours!” oe . Almost everything that she hae done since that time has been with the purpose of making that predic- tion of hers come true, That was why she wrote her two unique books, “The Man Who Tried to Run Away” and “Wandering Wil- He'w Tale,” in which she told of her alleged dealings with Whitney—and of many other matters which caused local politicians no Hittle worry. After she had published the books dozens of people told her her: “You can’t live in this town after that, You'll have to get out.” But she laughed at them, and stayed on living here—and now she’s going to run for the legis. Jature. In addition to writing the books, Mra. Sweetman haw done everything jeive in her power to discredit Whit- ney.

Months ago she “adopted” The Star. That is, she didn’t join the staff of the paper, but she be- came such a regular volunteer contributor to its columns that many people began to look on her as an official representative of The Star, This she never was—she had no inclination toward the career of a regular newspaper reporter —but her letters were invariably interesting and frequently caused no little stir, | These letters, of |brought her more than ever into the |public eye, and certainly no candt date ever announ: for the leg! lature with a better advance pub jielty campaign than she. | Just at present she ix causing no littie alarm tn the camps of the re- publican regulars as a result of her letter in The Star about the alleged orgy at the state convention.
