TELEPHONE: BEACON 3579 Office 317 22nd Ave. South WHAT DOES IT MEAN Not because Tennessee, Missouri, and Oklahoma went Republican have we reached the conclusion that the Solid South has seen the beginning of its end, and the wholesale slaughter of colored men, women and children for minor criminal and political offenses will be frowned down upon but because the women of the land have been enfranchised and they will insist on the fundamental principles of the Constitution, "all men are born equal and with certain inalienable rights among them life, liberty and the pursuits of happiness." Woman's first offense at the ballot box gave Woodrow Wilson the presidency of the United States "because he kept us out of war," but he did not keep us out of war, and the woman vote punished the Democratic party for it and not only punished it for not doing so but humiliated it by throwing three of the southern states into the Republican tidal wave. The white women of the South in our opinion are going to say to Ku-Kluxism, thus far and no further. They are going to say to the white men, who hang colored women up by their heels and then dsiembowl them, and perform other fiendish acts of barbarity, do it at your peril of losing control of the South. They are going to say to the disfranchisers of colored voters, too long have we suffered the same humiliation at your tyrannical hands and now that our chains have been broken we will not stand for even colored persons being likewise politically bound. Then again keeping the South politcally solid may be of comparatively little trouble for the white man of that section, for at the rate the black men are leaving it for other climes even the shot gun will not have to be used to keep it so and the other sections of the country will be so solidly Republican that the South will cut but little ice in the affairs of the government. We are not too sure but that the coming Congress will reduce the representation in Congress from the South and thereby destroy every vestige of the former all powerful greatness of the South and so promote it be. EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS Armistice day in Seattle was quite cold, but in no wise stormy. Thomas S. Lippy has done most excellent work on the port commission of Seattle and he should be re-elected. Whoever thinks to get something for nothing may get the something, but will soon discover it is nothing. Rumor has it that Hiram Johnson of California is preparing to rule or ruin the Republican party, but he will do neither. Here is to hoping that the Hon. E. H. Guie will be the next Speaker of the house of representatives of the Washington legislature. Governor Hart is on a short vacation in Idaho, resting from his pre-election labors. but he is coming back and then he will be our meet. Down in Texas, where President-elect Harding is resting from his pre-election labors, even the tarpons have taken compassion and let him catch them without any effort on his part, yea they even catch themselves for the distinguished guest. THE PASSING THRONG As comes the report to me John H. Ryan, who ran for a seat in the legislature on the Farmer-Labor ticket, has been elected and he will be the only anti-Republican member of the next legislature. In the issue hereof of September 25th I had the following to say concerning Mr. Ryan's candidacy: I am told John H. Ryan of Tacoma has been nominated for the legislature in the district in which he resides and regardless of whom is running against him, and regardless of the ticket on which he is running, I truly hope he will be elected. Since 1900 he has attended every session of the Washington legislature and issued a manual of that body, which has made him thoroughly conversant with the working of a legislature, and I think he would make a very useful member. If Mr. Ryan should be elected he would not be the first near white colored man that had sat as a member of a Washington legislature for John Bush of Thurston County was a member of the first state legislature and technically speaking I think he was a bit nearer the colored man than is Ryan, but Bush tried to hide his colored man identity while Ryan boasts of his. If nominated it was on the Farmer-Labor party, as he has been an advocate of the Triple Alliance propaganda since its birth, but for aye that Ryan is a clever old scout and as said above would make a useful member if elected. I said then, I hoped that Mr. Ryan would be elected and now that it seems that he is elected I am delighted. I have been told that Mr. Ryan's woman Republican opponent plead with the voters of the district to vote for her on the grounds that, "my chief opponent is a Negro, and you certainly will not support a Negro in preference to a white woman," but the voters of that distrite are largely Swedes and it seems that the Misses had said something not very commendable about Swedes and they chose between two evils. Singular is it not that the only success registered by the Farmer-Labor party was in the person of a colored man and in a district where there are not over one hundred colored voters and yet Mr. Ryan got in the neighborhood of 3000 votes. If stranger things than this have happened then the writer hereof has never met it. * * * I do not feel called upon to comment upon the state and county returns from the late election in view of the fact that every candidate was overwhelmingly elected. I refuse to say, I told you so, but I will say I advised you to vote her straight and that you certainly did. In the closing days of the county campaign some one sponsored a dirty piece of politics against Claude C. Ramsay, which more or less annoyed his friends, but it evidently fell of its own weight, and Mr. Ramsay held his party strength. Owing to Mr. Ramsay having not made any great effort to push his candidacy in either the primary or the general election the vote he got is exceedingly flattering. The only peepin the F. & L. party got in the state of Washington was a member of the legislature in Tacoma in the person of John H. Ryan. The F. & L. party did well. The question is, have the leaders of the Farmer-Labor party retreated and burned their Bridges behind them? They must have as no Bridges have been seen since the retreat. Vol. 5, No. 20 ELECTION AFTERMATHS As goes Maine so goes the country. No, Mississippi did not go Republican, but, believe me, it had the feeling. Seven million majority is such a large majority that it might be construed as being unanimous. Congress, it seems, will continue Republican despite the fact Cox said it had been a curse to the country. Even Cuba, she of much revolution fame, likewise went Republican, November 2nd. It was just Republican day. "Wilson should resign," so says William Jennnigs Bryan. Right you are and Gen. Democracy should do likewise. Hart in doubt—pre-election talk. Hart leads the ticket after election talk. You can not always sometimes tell. Perhaps W. W. will go down in history as a great man, but we do know he went down in public disgrace at the late election. The "land slide" to the contrary notwithstanding, the Democrats still have the legal right to order another Thanksgiving day. If the Union Record believed what it said prior to the election the editor thereof would show his good sense by leaving the state. Instead of being a candidate against Harding Jimmie Cox seems to have been arrayed against Debs with the field against Harding. Six colored persons having been shot to death in Florida on election day assured that state to the Democrats by an increased majority. An Oklahoma woman has been elected to Congress making the second woman to hold a seat in that august assembly. The women too are "risin." With the exceptions of Tennessee and Missouri the South is still solid, which will do that section of our country in the way of growth little or no good. But ten states went Democratic at the late election and had not shot guns been so plentiful in the hands of the Democrats none would have done so. Among those who have not been heard from since the "general land slide," is one Franklin D. Roosevelt, he of Washington City separate lavatory fame. The farmers and the laborers in the late campaign failed to labor together to any great extent, but at that they overshadowed the Democrats especially in the West. Its an old adage that says, "who laughs last laughs best," and William Jennings Bryan is laughing now, the other fellow having laughed last July at San Francisco. ```markdown ``` --- pS gS TREES ay Pee POM RM RED ME NC Lh cline k areas Seca Ee me 4 Lohwtetbe en. >.'\ i cial as AL Ehs tannabha Reb as RMS NRE 7 dal biel seh’ Seattle’s port commission election in De- eember next will be called upon to give one “Col.’? Lamping a drubbing like unto the one he recently got in the primary election. Republicanism will be sufficiently strong in the coming Congress to cut down the representation from the South in propor- tion to the votes she cast and we hope it will do so. During the campaign Senator Harding was accused of being a Mulatto. Now the question is, if a half a Negro could run as fast as did Senator Harding, what the hell would a whole Negro have done? In view of the fact that a port commis- sion eleetion will be held in December next Bob Bridges has one more opportunity to keep uot of the gulf of Innoeuous Desue- tude, it of much Grover Cleveland fame. It never takes any great amount of physical effort to kick a man when you think him down and thats the only time some persons ever make an effort to kick the one he or she has a grudge against. . Harding spoke in Oklahoma, Missouri, Tennessee and Kentucky and all of those states except Kentucky went Republican and even Kentucky is still in doubt. The question is, was it not a campaign mistake not to have sent Harding to even Missis- sippi? Ilis district having become hopelessly Re- publican Champ Clark, who went to defeat in the late battle of ballots, has decided to permanently withdraw from polities, but before he goes, he will doubtless look wist- fully at the White House and after sighing deeply ejaculate, Damn Woodrow Wilson! Even President Wilson seems to be com- ing round to the idea that he is not so great as he has been pictured, and as a re- sult he will take the old way and transmit his next message to Congress. It requires some awfully hard drubbing to convince some people that there are two sides to all questions. IIell bent for lection went the land, when all the Democrats were canned. They hol- lered loud and hollered long, but what they said was like a song, and sung to men completely deaf like winter trees with- so when election day came round, the voters said we hate your sound, and Four- teen Points was sent to hell, and there they will forever dwell. Dear W. W. fare you well and ere you go ring Jimmy Cox’s bell that he may follow fast your flivver on which you’re skidding up Salt River. To rule the world you vainly tried, but when you failed you sorely eried, and dropped your mantel on Jim Cox and thought yourself a sly old fox, but Uncle Sam saw through your plot. and snugly jammed you in a pot and rolled you down the steep hill road among your southern Democratic horde. But shake old man before you go because your hell will be in snow and Jimmy Cox will finally tire of trying to build for you a fire.
