Cayton's Weekly

Cayton's Weekly SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1918 reported to have done well, but in the mean time the property was purchased by E. R. James, which during its stormy existence was the first time the title of the property rested in the hands of a colored person. For the past six months Mr. Richardson has had divers opportunities to sell to white persons and finally did so, but with the understanding it would continue to accommodate colored tenants, which was hardly necessary as it is far more profitable for it to cater to colored tenants, and for a white man with an eye single to business the Douglass with colored tenants is a bonanza. The milk in the cocoanut to this story is, white men are learning that it pays to prepare for colored the same as white tenants. The following letter will doubtless be of considerable interest to many of the readers of Cayton's Weekly. Dear Mr. Tutt: Your most welcome letter received and I certainly do appreciate your thoughtfulness as the happiest moment of the A. E. F. boys is when the mail arrives. Tell all those who are at home that the boys over here think more of the news from home than anything in France. I am well and getting along just fine. I have had the opportunity to see most of the Seattle boys in the last two weeks and all of them are feeling fine and we all think we shall be home soon as Fritz cannot last much longer. You have heard how we are smashing them. I have had many exciting experiences in the last four weeks as we are in the front line trenches. I have dressed wounded under fire and it is indeed a great privilege to be one of Uncle Sam's medicos when one's comrades are wounded and suffering, fear seems to leave, and believe me the 365th is making history for itself. I wish I had words to tell you of our first shelling, the strange sounds made by the shells and your first feeling and now after a few weeks we are all veterans and it seems as though we are blessed for we have had very few casuals and wounded. Lt. Cardwell (our own John) is actually getting fat. France seems to agree with him. I have seen George Maunder, Ben Thompson, Tony Biggs, Irving Flowers, Doc. Hamilton, Corp. Hicks (Freda Jones' husband), and they all send regards to the folks at home. France is certainly one of the most democratic countries in the world; in all the villages in which we have been billeted the French people have treated us just fine and they were all sorry to see us move on. I received a letter from my wife stating that most of the boys of Seattle have been called and I know they are going to make good. Tell some of the other boys to drop us a line once in a while, we all like to hear any kind of news from the good old town of Seattle. Give my best regards to Mrs. Tutt and all the Seattle folks. A letter from you is always welcome. PRICE FIVE CENTS CAYTON'S WEEKLY U. S. A. In the interest of equal rights and equal justice to all men and for "all men up."

HORACE ROSCOE CAYTON..Editor and Publisher. Entred as second class matter, August 18, 1916, at the post office at Seattle, Wash., under the Act of March 3rd, 1916. TELEPHONE: BEACON 1910 Office 302 23d Ave. South EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS Hayden J. Richardson has sold his leasehold of the Douglas apartments and for the time being he will sleep with one eye open watching the movements of the war department, he being between eighteen and forty-five may at any time be called to go to the front. It is said by friends that Hayden is more or less fascinated with the apartment house business and when this cruel war is over he plans to erect an apartment house in Seattle that will make them all set up and take notice, and to that end he contemplates visiting the East in the very near future with the view of getting up-to-date apartment house ideas. From our experience in the same business too elaborate plans for apartment houses do not pay in the end. In other words the modest apartment house pays better in the long run than the more elaborate ones. But the man with the money can always accommodate his hobby and still feel no inconvenience therefrom. The question as to whether the city of Seattle will own the street car system now ramifying the various sectors of the city will be decided by the voters at next Tuesday's election. Cayton's Weekly is and has been an ardent advocate of municipal ownership of public utilities and it therefore is most enthusiastically in favor of the purchase of the street car system of Seattle. We care not who fathered the scheme, it is a good one, even if the devil brought it. Of course the corporation hogs will all vote against it, not that they believe the operating of the plant will prove a financial burden to the city, but to try to give the municipal ownership theory a black eye. If Seattle will vote yes on the street car proposition and it proves a success the telephone system will be the next to fall. When the tide first turned in favor of the Allies we said in these columns, it was the beginning of the end—the end is now in sight—thanks be to the directorship of Foch, Haig and Pershing—and if the settlement is made in the right way our children's children and then some will sound our praises for our good work. This is not the time for the White House to play politics, but to do the right and just thing for the benefit of the World and his family. It would be an everlasting disgrace to Seattle to even give Kunnul Hawthorne a complimentary vote at this time. The membership of the next Congress will be overwhelmingly Republican and for Seattle to even look like wanting to elect a Democrat to Congress would give her a black eye in every state in the North and the same would not be appreciated by the murderous Huns of the South. No, "Kunnel" Hawthorne has taken no hand in the brutalities the Democrats of the South have perpetrated upon the colored citizens and so long as he is living in Seattle he is bitterly opposed to it, but elect him to Congress and you will be perpetuat in gthe party which is what it is as a result of those brutalities and then should the "Kunnel" return to Texas he would be a big dog in the pool anytime a lynching was on tap. In Congress "Kunnul" Hawthorne would prove the proverbial bull in a china shop and would doubtless spend the most of his time, just like all southern Democrats, devising ways and means to keep the "niggahs down." This country is in need of men in Congress that are constructive instead of destructive. That was a dirty dose President Wilson handed the Republicans of the United States and as a result Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft, both expreseidents, have forgotten their former political differences and have issued a joint statement denouncing the appeal of the president. In view of the fact that it will be next to impossible for the editor hereof to purchase a Thanksgiving bird, owing to the high cost of the same, we suggest that there be no Thanksgiving Day this year, and in fact how can there be without a turkey for dinner. When you refer to the Democratic party of King county as a dead one there is more truth than poetry in the remark as a majority of its nominees are Republicans, who were unmercifully slaughtered in the late primaries. This grave-yard robbing for fillers on a partisan ticket is like unto being tied to a dead one. Once upon a time we flattered ourselves with knowing the English language rarely well, but after having read "the leading colored paper," we now owe ourselves an apology for having entertained for a single minute the very idea. A white man has purchased the lease hold of the Douglas apartments of this city, which accommodates colored tenants and thereby hangs a tale. The original builder of the Douglas was a white man and he began the work with the understanding that the editor hereof would lease the same, but later on the owner and the prospective lessor could not agree and so he, the owner, ran it for a while himself, catering exclusively to colored tenants, but the idea was a new one for them and they were slow in taking hold of it. Finally the owner traded it to a Mr. Jane for wild lands in Eastern Washington. Mr. Jane proved to be a prince at the business and it was but a few weeks when he had a long waiting list. He was very popular with his colored tenants, and be it said to his credit, he did much toward educating other landlords up to providing inviting quarters for colored tenants. He, however, plunged too heavily and went broke, and was succeeded by another white landlord, who did not get along so smoothly with his tenants as did Mr. Jane and he sold to Hayden J. Richardson, who has operated it for the past two years, and is VOL. 3, NO. 21 FROM OVER THERE On Active Service With The American Expeditionary Force September 17,1918. EARL R. LEWIS. ```markdown ``` NEXT TUESDAY'S ELECTION As to the Supreme Court candidates Cayton's Weekly has not very greatly changed its opinion from what it was one week ago. For the long term it recommends to its readers the unanimous support of Wallace Mount and John F. Main, both men of the highest type and life long Republicans. Organized labor has made a nasty and unwarranted fight on both of these men and it is the unqualified duty of every patriotic voter to give to them his or her most loyal support. Judges Mount and Main's decisions in the past which have invoked the wrath of union labor may not have been to the liking of the radicals of organized labor nor have their decisions always been to the liking of many others, but in deciding a case it must be in favor of one side or the other and the fellow that loses in a legal contest most always wants to "cuss" somebody and the judge on the bench seems the most plausable one to cuss. The true blue American, after a sober second thought, thusly reasons to himself: "Some on had to lose and I am no better to lose than my opponent, and the judge had no more love PETER H. HARRIS WALLACE MOUNT Candidate for Supreme Court Judge for my opponent than he had for me and I will be a cheerful loser." Organized labor on the other hand is never willing to give and take, it must have the whole hog or none at all and not getting the whole hog in the decisions, it complains of having come from Mount and Main it is out fighting them. Be sure you vote for Mount and Main for the long term. Judge John R. Mitchell is said to be as fine a Democrat as is Steve Chadwick, who has been repeatedly elected to the Supreme Court, which is saying a good deal, for Steve Chadwick is surely a prince, and we therefore recommend that he be selected as the third candidate for the Supreme Court, which will make your ticket for the long term Wallace Mount, John F. Main and [Image of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. JOHN F. MAIN Candidate for Supreme Court Judge John R. Mitchell. And as we write these names we are reminded that the names presented from an initial letter viewpoint, is quite a coincident in euphonic rythm, three Ms. For the four year term Kenneth Mackintosh is without opposition, but he is one of God's noblemen and we hope that he will get a vote from every person who goes to the ```markdown ``` polls next Tuesday that he may see for himself how much we really think of him. For one of the Superior Court judges for King county, Cayton's Weekly unqualifiedly endorses Crawford E. White and most cheerfully recommends him to the readers hereof for their suffrage. This is supposed to be a non-partisan election, but unless we are very much mistaken a great deal of partisan politics, at least behind the scenes, has entered into this judicial contest, and rumor has it, that Thomas P. Revelle withdrew from the contest in the interest of the two Democratic candidates, and that Clay Allen already has a military appointment in his pocket, but will stay in the race, believing that he is certain of election and will immediately after the election resign and thereby give Gov. Lister an opportunity to appoint a successor, who, rumor further has it, is to be none other but Thomas P. Revelle, and for that he is to deliver to Gov. Lister the Bull Moose vote of the state two years from now, when he, Lister, is a candidate for United States senator. How much of this story is true remains to be seen, but certain it is Revelle is tearing his HENRY CRAWFORD E. WHITE Candidate for Superior Court Judge shirt in his support of Allen and Hall for Superior Court judges, but there is enough however in the above story to justify all good Republicans to support Crawford E. White for one of the Superior Court judges regardless of whether they vote for Allen or Hall for the other Superior Court judge. A non-partisan election should be non-partisan but when it is used to further partisan candidates then it becomes a partisan election and what's sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander, and we therefore repeat, let every Republican vote for Crawford E. White first and for one or the other of the Democrats as suits him or her best. Mr. Miller's Record—The renomination of Mr. Miller in the recent primary by a vote of aproximately 15,000 against 2,000 is a remarkable tribute to his record in his first term in Congress. Beginning his service with the special war session called by President Wilson, April 2, 1917, Mr. Miller's loyal and consistent support of the President's war program has brought him not only the approval of his constituents but the commendation of all patriotic citizens. His intimate knowledge of war conditions acquired by his trip to the Western Front last fall, together with his recognized ability as a public speaker, have brought him calls for speaking dates throughout the Eastern states on behalf of the Government Committee on Public Information, the Liberty Loan drives, the Red Cross and other patriotic organizations. While never absenting himself from the sessions of the House on any other account, Mr. Miller has patriotically responded to these calls, and the value of the service he has rendered in promoting the spirit of patriotism and thus sustaining the hands of [Name] JOHN F. MILLER Candidate to Succeed Himself as Representative in Congress the President in these critical times is indicated by the favor with which he has everywhere been received. "Miller Thrills Municipal Club—Auditors Spellbound," is the way the Brooklyn Times of April 24, 1918, heads its account of Mr. Miller's address there, saving: "Old time residents of this Borough who were present, asserted that never before in the history of Brooklyn have more eloquent utterances passed the lips of a public official. It is expected that those who were fortunate enough to listen to this unusual address swill spread broadcast the message conveyed to the Brooklyn people." Cayton's Weekly has singled out those candidates on the Republican ticket for special mention on whom the disorganized Democratic party has marked for attacks, but let it be understood that, it is for the entire Republican ticket even to Norman M. Wardall. In the primary election we had our family quarrel, but in the general election we are quarreling with a common enemy and we therefore hope to see every Republican nominee elected and every Democrat defeated. Norman M. Wardall, Frank W. Hull, Percy F. Thomas, W. A. Gaines, Samuel J. Humes, C. C. Tiffin, the five justices of the peace and the five constables are practically without opposition but in case some slight opposition shows up the safe way is to vote the Republican ticket straight and make a short story out of a long one. Some years ago William A. Gaines came to visit with friends, but with no intention of making the city his home, but after spending a few days looking the city over he was prevailed upon to cast his lot here and readily consented. Time passed and Gaines was but one among many thousands, but whatever he put his hands to he did it so well and likewise satisfactorily that he began to attract attention and one thing lead to another. He took the civil service examination for registration clerk, which to the ordinary man means a fixture for life, but not so with Gaines. As registration clerk he attracted public attention both on account of his efficiency and his affiableness. Four years ago he sought the nomination for county treasurer, but was slightly beaten, his friends, however, told him to not be discouraged for he surely was the coming man, and their predicition came true. At the late primary election he was nominated over his competitor, who was backed by his office precedent. Mr. Gaines will be elected treasurer of King county next Tuesday and for two years he will be the custodian of not less than eighteen million dollars annually. Mr. Gaines is a man that is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow and in attending to the duties of his office all men look alike to hime. Vote for Wm. A. Gaines. This write up of Mr. Gaines has been done at the WM. A. GAINES Candidate for County Treasurer request of the King County Colored Republican Club, the active membership of which worked for his nomination and are equally solicitious about his election next Tuesday. Dr. Cardwell and A. R. Bonner, respectively secretary and treasurer of the club, will be pleased to tell you more about Mr. Gaines, if you will but call them up. Be careful, Mr. Voter to not get mixed up when you go to cast your vote for prosecuting attorney of King county next Tuesday. The name of both the Republican and Democratic candidate for this office is Brown and you will make a sad mistake if you vote on the theory that "all Browns look alike to you,' 'and in this instance you will be mistaken though these Browns really do look alike to you. For years Doctor Edwin J. Brown ran for office on the Socialist ticket and the editor hereof frequently voted for him, but he was always defeated. He however was office crazy and in the hope of getting one he turned Democrat and in his confession to the high priests of that party of murders he said: "I now realize that I have grieviously erred in the past, politically, and I pray thee not only for forgiveness but for absolution from my faults and if these favors you will grant me and will nominate me for an office, I will open my sack to you and will politically lie by Gilmore's watch" to get the office. And the high priests of that party of murderers were well pleased with what he had said and promised to them and they looked upon him with fvaor and held out their hands for him to kiss, thereupon Doctor Edwin J. Brown, the former Socialist, rawhide and bloody bones agitator, became the Hon. Edwin J. Brown and a Democrat of lofty ideals. To more thoroughly convince the high priests of that party of murderers the next day thereafter he, Edwin J. Brown, in the space he had daily used to tell of Socialism used the same in damning the colored citizens of the United States, the first and only true requisite of a Democrat, good and true. Ed. Brown is too office crazy to tie to. The name of the Republican candidate is Fred C. Brown, who has always been a conconsistent Republican, and who for fourteen years was one of the justices of the peace of Seattle and made a record while in office that no man need feel ashamed of. The following is self explanatory: What the State Food Inspector said about Fred C. Brown, Republican nominee for prosecuting attorney— "In my 10 years' experience your record in enforcing the pure food laws stands second to none in this state. "The wealthy corporation received no more consideration at your hands than the poorest offender. "You had no favors to dispense and have shown remarkable courage in the trial of these cases. "You are the type of public official the people need. "WILL H. ADAMS, "State Food Inspector." Fred C. Brown, fourteen years as juge and practising attorney. Cayton's Weekly was not for Jack Stringer for sheriff in the primary election, but it is for him in the election next Tuesday. In spite of opposition he outstripped his opponents and was fairly and squarely nominated on the Republican ticket to succeed himself and it is party disloyalty for Republicans to boost a life long Democrat for the office, because forsooth they may be able to handle him more to their liking than they can Sheriff Stringer. For the past few years Republicans in King county seem to have taken fiendish delight in knifing Republican nominees, which is a disgrace to the party organization. Doubtless Jack Stringer has not run things as you and I would have had him do, but he has con- JOHN A. STRINGER Candidate for Sheriff ducted the office in a business like way and is therefore deserving of a second term in as much as he went before the people on his record and won the nomination over a number of sagacious competitors. There is no excuse for the Republicans to periodically elect a Democratic sheriff and it should not be done at this time. Vote for John A. Stringer for sheriff. Prior to the late primary election Cayton's Weekly warned the voters against supporting Herman Nelsen for county commissioner from the second district on the grounds that he was not only a Democrat, but a member of that cantankerous organization known as the Nonpartisan League, the chief cornerstone of which was and is disloyalty, and thanks to the patriotism of the Republicans of the district he was defeated for the Republican nomination, but Herman is a sly old fox and he evidently connived with the Democrats and as a result a number of of them wrote his name on V LOU C. SMITH their primary ballot to give him the Democratic nomination for county commissioner, and that Democratic nomination he has accepted, for, be it remembered, he was a Democrat from the very beginning, and now he is hoping to defeat the regular Republican nominee for commissioner from the second district, Lou C. Smith. Perhaps there are some Republicans who will vote for Nelsen, but we do not believe it, and as Mr. Smith beat him two years ago under similar circumstances so will he do so this year. if we read aright the signs of the times. Lou C. Smith has given the county a most admiral administration and one that has called forth the warmest approval of Claude C. Ramsay, the chairman of the board of county commissioners, whose work has made him one of the most popular public officials in Seattle. No loyal Republican has any excuse to vote for Herman Nelsen in preference to Lou C. Smith and certainly any patriotic citizen would be stretching his or her conscience most awfully to vote for a man whose patriotism is of a questionable nature in preference to a man who is the quintessence of loyalty and patriotism. Vote for Lou C. Smith for county commissioner. There not being a sufficient number of straight Democrats in King county to complete a Democratic ticket for the regular election the high priests of the party have been compelled to complete their ticket with sorehead Republican primary campaign candidates, who were defeated. In the second commissioner's district Herman Nelsen, who before the primaries claimed to be a Republican, but was defeated for the nomination, was picked up by the Democrats and put on their ticket and then they went to the third district and picked up John Mullane, who ran as a Republican for the nomination for county commissioner, but was badly defeated, and they put him on their ticket to run against Thomas Dobson, the regular Republican nominee. Either Mullane was not a Republican bfeore the primary election or he is not a Democrat now and in our opinion he is neither. THOMAS DOBSON Candidate for County Commissioner but is anything to get an office—in short, a grand deceiver. politically speaking—and who will deceive in one instance will do so in others and it occurs to us the voters would make an awful blunder to elect a political spotted egg of John Mullane's type to anything. Thomas Dobson has lived in King county for the past thirty years and has ever been the trustworthy reliable citizen, and the presumption is he will so continue, and as county commissioner he will serve well the taxpayers. As a colleague of Claude C. Ramsay and Lou C. Smith, Thomas Dobson will be found not wanting. Vote for Tom Dobson. WILLIAM WRAY Candidate for State Senator, Thirty-third Senatorial District About the only state senator in King county that has an active Democratic opponent is William Wray in the thirty-third senatorial district, his opponent being A. E. Flagg, who has sought for years to flag every passing political party in order to get a ride into office, but without any success and we do not suspect he will have any more success next Tuesday than he has had in the past. William Wray has been a member of the legislature for the past six years, two years a member of the house and four ```markdown ``` years a member of the senate, and his record is clear. If he ever did anything as a representative that did not seem in accord with public sentiment he immediately reversed himself and endeavored to represent the sentiment of the people irrespective of his own. Cayton's Weekly does not hesitate to say William Wray is far superior to A. E. Flagg and it truly hopes that every one of its readers in that district, and they are many, will vote for him in preference to his Democratic opponent, who has been an unsuccessful candidate for some kind of an office at every election held in Seattle for the past twenty-five years. If the friends of E. Heister Guie will rally strong to his support and give him a record breaking vote he will have little or no trouble in landing the speakership job when the next legislature convenes. He is a parliamentarian of the highest type and if elected speaker will cause the legislature to dispatch more business while in the chair than it has done the three past legislatures combined, and this is not said with the view of being over critical of others who have occupied that exalted legislative position. The Republican legislative candidates in King county are not centering on any candidate and as a result they are liable to wake up one of these rainy mornings and learn to their political chagrin that some outside candidate has votes enough outside of King to put him over the ropes. Be loyal to yourself and give Giue the votes. Judge Wallace Mount has been on the bench of the Supreme Court of the State of Washington eighteen years and is now seeking re-election, being one of six candidates for the three places to be filled for six year terms. To know Judge Mount intimately is to be an advocate of his re-election. I have heard there was some opposition to Judge Mount because of a certain decision of the Supreme Court which he wrote relative to picketing. I am a member of the Carpenters and Joiners Union, Local 1148, Olympia, Wash., and a delegate to the Labor and Trades Council of Olympia and I put my Union above everything else but my Americanism. As an American I believe in American institutions and that courts are to declare what the law is and not to make the law. I regret that the court found the law as it did in the above decision but being an American and believing in American institutions and the court having said that was the law, to me then it is the law until changed in the regular legislative way. The Supreme Court of the state of Washington may have been wrong in finding the law as it did, but we want human judges and they would not be human unless they made some mistakes. The most excellent record of the Supreme Court of Washington is proof of the fact that on the whole it has been very sympathetic with labor and with the common people. Judge Mount, himself was a poor boy and made his own way in the world. His own sons, who are now in the service of their country having enlisted at the very outset of the war, have always spent their summer vacations working at manual labor on the highways or in the sawmills or logging camps, to earn what funds they could to help themsevles through school. The Supreme Court of Washington has upheld the law prohibiting blacklisting; the law requiring street car companies to put vestibules on their cars for motormen; the initiative and referendum, and the eight-hour law for women and all other eight-hour laws, and all the laws relating to the safe guarding of miners and laborers in mines, factories and mills, and the first court in the United States to hold good the compulsory Industrial Insurance Law. In practically all of these cases the parties attacking these laws were large corporations. It has been charged that seventy-five per cent of the court's decisions were in favor of corporations. I am only a layman but any layman can easily investigate and satisfy himself that such statement is absolutely false. In fact the very reverse is the truth. Judge Mount himself has written many of the important decisions. He wrote the decision in case of State v. Rossman, knocking out the grafting employment agencies. He approved the decision of Larson v. Rice, in which it was contended that because of a contract with a young lady she was not entitled to the minimum wage fixed by the Industrial Welfare Commission but the court held the Industrial Welfare Commission governed. This is not the time in our history for experiments or for the advancement of politicians or demagogues. We must have strong principled men for our offices and especially our judiciary. It is better that we have honest men who are sometimes mistaken than to have politicians or demagogues who are as liable to turn against us as to be for us. I know that anybody who is opposed to Judge Mount is not acquainted with him. I have known him for many years and I know him to be honest, fearless, upright, kindly-hearted, sincere and true and a friend of the laboring man and all common people.
