Crocker was another associate sof that day. The will of the people often meant but little to the legislature with its perfected “steam roller” party machine which ran rough shod over opponents who in open election would have defeated party candidates easily. The fight against the railroad lobby in the legislature, which drew the “old guard” at the capitol into a long and bitter struggle, really was the beginning of the end for Stevenson as the “power behind the throne.” Tours of the state failed to reconcile bitter opponents of the moneyed interests. Then, later on, came the new era when United States senators were taken from the hands of the pup- pet-masters and placed on the ballot sheets of the people. The legisla- turg had lost another important power. Stevenson from that time forward found himself with but little to oc- cupy his enormous energy and tal- ent, He served as a legislator sey- eral terms, and his brother was also & member of that body. BECAME INTERESTED IN MINING PROJECT The “Punch and Judy” show at the legislature was largely over. The grinning manikins of the party machine had been cast down and re- placed with men selected by direct vote of the people, altho _ party primaries were still in force to nom- inate candidates, and remained so | crew had been killéd, but no passem- until] recent years, Stevenson finally retired. He be- came interested in mining projects |comotive left the track and over+ around Index, and owned consider. able property in copper mining ven- tures there, it was said. Becoming too heavily interested, he sold out, losing a large percentage of his; holdings. In recent years Stevenson was engaged in the lumber industry, and cruised the Oregon woods. While there several months ago he fell, striking his head on a log, in- juring himself severely, During the last mayoralty election here, as well as the one previous, Stevenson had taken up the burden of politics upon himself and aided Brown and Caldwell in their elec: tion campatgns, “Warhorse” of many campaigns, Stevenson seemed never so happy as when he was engaged in a political battle. SUFFERED FROM MANY BREAKDOWNS Menta] troubles affected Steven: son, He suffered intensely from his suggestion that the charter of localy25 be revoked and a new union formed would be the final outcome. Local 25, to which the strikers belonged, has been sus — pended. QUAKE VICTIM DIES ON SHIP VANCOUVER, B.
