Seattle Republican

The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Historical Lrenthy POLITICAL POT PIE. VOL. VIII. NO. 40 The late Republican primary election and convention, which was held in this city, resulted in the following ticket being placed in the field for the suffrage of the voters March 4th next, or, more definitely speaking, next Tuesday: For Mayor—Thomas J. Humes For Mayor—Thomas J. Humes. For Corporation Counsel—Mitchell Gilliam. For City Controller—Mat H. Gormley. For City Treasurer—John Riplinger, Councilman-at-large. H. P. Rude and Frank P. Mullen. Ward Councilman—First Ward, Patrick Fitzpatrick; Second Ward, Abram Kistler; Third Ward, Hiram C. Gill; Fourth Ward, James A. James; Fifth Ward, Ellis Morrison; Sixth Ward, W V. Rinehart; Seventh Ward, J. C. Red ward; Eighth Ward, Dr. J. E. Crichton; Ninth Ward, Martin J. Lund. The following names will compose the City Central Committee of the city for the ensuing two years; First Ward, Ward Clancy; Second Ward, Chris Frasch; TThird Ward, A Muchmore; Fourth Ward, Joseph H Dawes; Fifth Ward, William Inglis; Sixth Ward, Terry King; Seventh Ward, E. B. Palmer; Eighth Ward, D C. Conover; Ninth Ward, J. W. Smart; Richard M. Kinnear, at large. If there be one candidate on the Republican ticket among the nominees for councilmen that is deserving of success it is that of Hon. Ellis Morrison of the Fifth Ward, who made a gallant fight for the nomination and won by at least a four-fifths majority. Mr. Morrison is deservedly popular in his ward and The Republican hopes that every voter in the ward will see to it that he is elected, because if they do they will have a man representing the ward in the city council that will be an honor and a credit not only to the Fifth ward, but to the entire city of Seattle. Here is to giving Ellis Morrison such a majority as no other nominee from the ward ever before received. The Fifth Ward should feel highly complimented in the nomination of Frank P. Mullen for councilman-at-large, for while he is at present living in the Seventh Ward nevertheless he is truly a Fifth Ward man, and he is so closely identified with its interests that it can be practically said that he is a candidate from that ward. Mr Mullen is a shrewd, sagacious politician, and has taken an active part in Republican elections ever since he has lived in the city. He has contributed liberally of both his time and funds for the success of the party and all Republicans should feel that it is their duty to give him a good vote, for by so doing it will show to other Republicans that true, loyal and patriotic Republicanism does not go unappreciated and unwarded by Republicans themselves. Pie-Maker bespeaks for Frank P. Mullen one of the largest votes that has ever been given to a councilman-at-large in the city of Seattle, and he further hopes that the friends of The Republicans will rally around Mr. Mullen's candidacy and see to it that he gets their vote. This is a special favor asked on the part of the Editor of The Seattle Republican. The Pie-maker has a few words of commendation for the work the Fifth Ward accomplished in the last Republican convention. It succeeded, owing to the fact that it was pretty well united, in landing everything that it went after, and this is especially true of the Fifth precinct of the Fifth Ward. It is such unanimity of actions that brings success to any number of men that set out to accomplish a certain end, and the precedent laid down by the Fifth precinct of the Fifth Ward in the late Republican municipal convention is a most excellent one for other precincts and wards to follow in the future. The candidate that can meet defeat and smile over it, and especially when such candidate has every hope of being successful, is a man that is to be commended to his fellow men without regard to party, politics or factions. No candidate that ever aspired for an office had greater prospects of succeeding at the primaries than did Frank H. Paul in the late mayoralty scrap, but when the votes were counted it was found that he had lost by an overwhelming majority. He, however, accepted the situation gracefully and on the convention day, with his usual smile, he appeared on the platform amid enthulastic cheering and announced to his fellow Republicans that he had been defeated fairly and squarely and now he was for the ticket. Frank Paul is one of the whitest men that ever entered the political arena and such a course will make him doubly popular in the future, and it is here predicted that he will be heard from again. The official ballot that you and each of you will be called upon to look over before you vote for those candidates whom you think will make the best officials for Seattle, will be a volum- ous one, and it is deemed necessary at this time to advise the readers of this paper to some extent as to how to mark their ballot preparatory to casting it in the ballot box. If you desire to vote the straight Republican ticket mark an X after "Republican Ticket;" that votes for all the nominees made by the Republican convention, or if you wish to vote a straight Democratic ticket mark your ticket in a like manner, or any other of the regular tickets placed on the official ballot. In case you wish to vote for one man or any number of men not on the regular ticket, which you wish to vote for, you should place an X after every man for whom you wish to vote. If you do this you have avoided all possible complications and disputes as to what was your intention in casting your ballot, and for whom you wished to vote. You can likewise place an X after the ticket that you want to vote, and also place an X after the names of some nominee on another ticket, and such a ticket will also be legal, but the former way is the preferable one, and it is here suggested that you mark your ballot accordingly. On the whole it can be safely said that the Republican convention never nominated a stronger and more popular ticket than at the last municipal convention. Every man on the ticket proved his prowess as a popular politician by succeeding in having delegates elected at the primaries which gave them such an overwhelming majority in the convention as to force their competitors to permit them to be nominated by acclamation. Such political conditions were certainly unexpected by even the most ardent and enthusiastic Republican supporters of the successful candidates. It is characteristic of the workers of the Republican party to bow to the will of the majority, and especially when that majority is made up of overwhelming numbers in opposition to the minority. It is, therefore, expected that the Republican ticket will be successful at the poll next Tuesday. The little morning sheet published in this city, of which Gene Allen, of questionable political notoriety, is at the head, is trying hard to find Republican bolters, but has not succeeded in its undertaking as yet. While it has been killing time in march of Republican bolters the columns of the paper have been sadly neglected from an advertising standpoint, and unless something happens to it it won't be issued many more days. In quoting from Governor McBride last Monday morning, the following words were placed in the Governor's mouth by a reporter on the paper: "As to bolters, I have nothing to say, nothing at all." Well might the Governor use such laconic remarks for if he had any condemnation for political bolters his own senatorial candidate would be compelled to give up the ghost. Harold Preston, it will be remembered, bolted the Republican legislative caucus in 1839, and persons living in glass houses should not throw stones. No, the Governor should have nothing to say about bolters, lest he tread on the corn of his own political friends. Frank P. Mullen will make a most excellent councilman and the Piemaker hopes that you will cast your ballot for his election. It is currently reported that Hon. John W. Pratt blew in nearly $1,000 in the First Ward, and did not get a vote from there in the convention. Moral—it's foolish to buy a politician, for nine times out of ten he won't stay bought, if he is the selling kind. The Pie-maker believes that he is safe in saying that no man in the city of Seattle is more generally popular than John Riplinger, who is the Republican nominee for city controller. It is generally conceded that Mr. Riplinger will lead the other candidates on his ticket at least 1,000 votes, so generally liked is he. No man in the Northwest is better fitted for the position for which he has been nominated than Mr. Riplinger, and his experience in a similar capacity in other public offices but adds to his competency to make his administration one of the best that the city of Seattle has ever had in that office in case he is elected. If John Riplinger has one political enemy in this city no one has ever been able to find him out. Even the Democrats themselves will vote for Riplinger, notwithstanding the fact that their own candidate is a decidedly popular young man. The Republican Central Committee organized for action last Monday evening by electing John F. Miller, a well-known Seattle politician and attorney, as chairman of the Central Committee; William Inglis, secretary; A. Muchmore, assistant secretary; and Richard Kinnear, treasurer. The various standing committees were soon thereafter appointed and a vigorous campaign was at once begun. The committee plans to hold a rousing rally at SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1902 the armory hall next Monday evening, at which rally all of the principal nominees on the ticket will speak. Most politicians thought that Mitchell Gilliam was dreaming when he announced through the columns of The Seattle Republican that he would be a candidate for corporation counsel subject to the ratification and endorsement of the Republican convention, and it was generally treated as a huge joke, but quietly he set to work on his candidacy by making a friend here and there, and when once acquainted with the man your ideas of him were radically changed, until he succeeded in capturing the convention almost two to one over his more imposing as well as pompous competitors. Mr. Gilliam is the man of the people, and the kind of a man that the people love to see. If he did not possess half of the ability and grandiloquence of his competitor they would elect him to the office he seeks and for which he has been nominated by an even greater majority on account of him being a part of the people and not trying to impress them with his greatness and his superhuman qualities. The Pie-maker predicts that Mr. Gilliam is going to run next to John Riplinger on the Republican ticket, and that means that he is going to beat his opponent by such a majority as never before registered in this city. The Democratic Central Committee in organizing itself for action, selected William Pigott, the well-known iron dealer, chairman; C. G. Heifner, secretary, V. P. Hyman, treasurer; L. C. Gillilam, W. H. Moore, Samuel C. Calderhead and Daniel Kelleher executive committee. --- Captain Mat Gormley, who has never had an opponent for the city treasury job, has no factions to fight nor sores to heal over. He was nominated with out opposition, and hence he must prove a very popular candidate. Captain Gormley has a brilliant army record in the Philippines and he has an even more brilliant record as deputy city treasurer, as he has made an idea officer for the past two years under his superior, Mr. Rathbun, and the work to him will be nothing new. No Re publican, Democrat, Populist or any other partisan will make any mistake in giving his vote to Mr. Gormley. --- Permit the Pie-Maker to remind you, dear reader, at this point that the councilman-at-large, F. P. Mullen, is one man on the Republican ticket that you should see to that you cast your vote for. Be true to yourself and to your friends, and vote for Frank P. Mullen, or you will shoy by your actions if you do not that you have no respect whatever for party loyalty. Extra copies of this issue can be had at the office, 1411 Third, near Pike street. --- Among the political visitors to the city this week were Hon. John L. Wilson, Colonel Ridpath and Hon. A. M. Murphy, all of Spokane, Washington. The Pie-Maker was unable to learn from either of these distinguished gentlemen what had called them to Seattle at the time our city was involved in such a hot political campaign, but they were here and evidently had no fears of entering a city in which so many hot shots were passing through the air. Mr. Wilson was perhaps looking after his business interests in the city, as is his custom, and that explained his mission, while Colonel Ridpath and Mr. Murphy perhaps had no particular interests except that of general observation on such occasions. If reports be true, Colonel Ridpath is an avowed candidate for one of the Congressional nominations from this state, and, if further reports be true, Hon. A. M. Murphy is likewise a candidate for the same place. Colonel Ridpath is conspicuous in the political affairs of this state, more on account of him having bolted the Republican party in 1896 and having managed the senatorial campaign of George Irwin in 1897 than for his sterling Republican qualifications, but notwithstanding this he proposes to make a vigorous campaign, and he already has the promise of a number of leading Republicans in Eastern Washington as well as the promise of many Western Washington Republicans to assist him in getting the nomination. Alonzo M. Murphy is well known in Republican circles, and especially in Eastern Washington, and he is as popular as he is well known throughout the state. He has always been an ardent and consistent Republican and supported his party nominees whether they suited him or not, and it is predicted here that Mr. Murphy will give Colonel Ridpath a hard tussle in the primary election which will decide Spokane's Congressional candidate. They are both good organizers and a battle royal promises to be the result. When the Republican convention selected H. P. Rude as one of the nominees for councilman-at-large as a run- months' schooling. Under such circumstances it is quite natural that the colored people would leave the plantations and seek communities and conditions more conducive to bettering their conditions as American citizens New York last Sunday after some Prince Henry, the distinguished Prussian, who is visiting the United States in order to bring about more friendly relations between the two governments, arrived in the harbor of their conditions as American citizens ning mate with Frank P. Mullen it made a most wise and excellent selection, as has been proven on previous occasions. Mr. Rude has been twice before nominated and elected to this same position, and once he represented his ward in the council and he has always made a most useful as well as valuable member in such a capacity, and it is predicted that he will again sweep the field and defeat his opponent by an increased majority over what he did two years ago. It was very evident from the vote he got in the last convention that he had served his constituents well, and they highly approved of him being rewarded for his good work for another four years. The Pie-Maker is of the opinion that the Republican party on the whole never named a stronger municipal ticket than it has at this time. The nominees for the principal offices and for the various ward councilmen are particularly strong along their respective lines, and, as said above, the ticket commends itself to the voters, regardless of their political beliefs, for their suffrage at the polls next Tuesday. PASSING EVENTS. 一 An urgent call has been sent out from the war department to the various recruiting stations to the effect that as many colored soldiers as can be had, be enlisted in the service. It has been previously given out that the standing armies in the Philippines, in Porto Rica and in Cuba, if such be maintained therein, are to be made up almost wholly of colored soldiers; as the colored soldier is not only an immune to the sickness that prevails in those tropical climates, but he is much less objectional to the natives. In the Philippines a majority of the colored soldiers that are discharged from the service at once marry the natives, and it will be but a few years more before they will be strong factors in the body politic of those islands. So many of the colored soldiers are not re-enlisting, but identifying themselves with the natives accounts for this urgent request on the part of the war department that more be enlisted, to not only fill up the depleted ranks of the now existing companies, but to form new companies with the express purpose of having colored standing armies in those islands. The Republican has always maintained that the migration of hundreds of the Negroes now in the South to the islands, which have lately come into the possession of the United States, would be the means of setting the serious race troubles, which the United States has to deal with from time to time. It would first take from the South the over-supply of colored folk, which is the cause of continuous race troubles down there, and that over-supply, if sent to the insular possessions, would soon become a part and parcel of the natives and they would Americanize those people more rapidly than white soldiers could possibly do, notwithstanding the fact the white soldiers are likewise intermarrying with the natives of the islands. According to the New Orleans Piscayune, the Negroes of the Southern plantations are leaving so rapidly that it has caused a dire distress for plantation help in the raising of cotton and cane. This desertion of the farm on the part of the Negroes is attributed by the Picayune to his desire to shirk labor and congregate in the cities where he can do odd jobs and live on "easy street." Such, to some extent, may be true, but on the whole the theory is as false as it is foolish. The prime and great reason for the Negroes deserting the plantations is that on those plantations a form of slavery exists, so far as the Negroes are concerned, which is not much better than that which existed prior to the emancipation in 1863. The men and women work year in and year out and do not get as much as they did prior to the emancipation for their labors, and the farmers so well understand each other that it is almost impossible for a colored family to get employment on the next plantation or anywhere in the neighborhood if he desires to leave the home in which he is at. In some instances when colored families desire to leave the community altogether they are forcibly detained by the whites, and when they do leave they can carry all of their possessions under their arms. In the cities and the towns they do better. They do many odd jobs, the women get washing and ironing, and, best of all, the children get from eight to ten months' schooling, while on the plantations they only get from two to four About Municipal Ownership. Since "Public Ownership" has been recently presented to the people of Seattle as a panacea for economic lils it will be of interest to note some of the paradoxes in the arguments of its advocates. In America the great industries are dominated by trusts, but they do these things better in Europe. In America the railroads are controlled by trusts, which extort a double toll from the small shipper and give a discount to the large shipper. In Germany the government has assumed control of the railroads and injustice to the small shipper has ceased—but the Germans will not stay in Germany to enjoy the golden age of government ownership which has dawned, instead they emigrate to America, where they are sure to be robbed by a trust! In America the street railroads are owned by trusts; the people are never satisfied with the service. In England the municipal ownership of street railroads is the common thing—but a trolley car was a curiosity in England after the horse car had become obsolete in America. When the English municipalities wanted something modern in the way of street railroads they sent their commissioners to America, the country where the street cars had not been municipalized into ancient history! In America the railway companies, the gas companies, the electric light companies with their influence control the press, with their money control the legislature; it is their influence which destroys the virtue of the public officials; with no private cor than those afforded on the cotton plantations. Speaking about the colored folk of the South leaving the cotton plantations reminds the writer that they are not only leaving the cotton plantations, but they are likewise leaving the South by the thousands. Within the past decade in the neighborhood of 700,000 colored folk have left the South and come North, and have ramified themselves in every section and community of the North, and still they are coming. Probably the reason so many of them are coming North lies in the fact that they have overrun the Southern cities and are compelled to branch out for greener pastures. In many of the Northern cities their labors are in demand, and this has caused many of them to leave their Southern homes and locate in the North. Then again they inhale the pure, free air and live among people who treat them as human beings and not as brutes, and those that come first write to their friends, and soon others follow in great numbers. Before the close of the press decade, it is here prefaced, that half of the colored people of the South will have found homes in the North. --- It is very doubtful whether in the history of the United States Senate a more disgraceful scene ever before actually occurred on its floor than that which took place last Saturday, and that, too, on the immortal George Washington's birthday, when Senator Ben R. Tillman, a South Carolina ruffian, knocked over chairs and rushed up to Senator MacLaurin, of the same state, and struck him in the face with his fist, after which the two grappled with each other until they both fell to the floor in what might have been a deadly struggle. Immediately after the great civil war, at an adjourned session of the Senate, and while Senator Charles Sumner was still sitting at his desk writing, a South Carolina ruffian, who was at the time a member of the lower house of Congress, and who had insisted to the Senator's speech on Negro suffrage the day before, quietly creeped up behind him and struck him over the head with a loaded cain, which blow eventually resulted in his death. This South Carolina ruffian, Brooks by name, was expelled from Congress, but was returned by his constituents at once and continued as a member of the House until the expiration of his term. Even that disgraceful and criminal act is not to be compared with that of one Sentaor, while the Senate is in session, jumping over chairs and desks to hit a fellow Senator in the face, and that, too, his fellow Senator is addressing the Vice President of the United States. But that man Tillman, who is the prince of ruffianism, is capable of doing anything low, mean and despicable, and his actions last Saturday were in keeping with the general make-up of the man. The question that puzzles the writer is, why has not this monster been long ago expelled from the United States Senate and expelled as often as he is re-elected, for he is certainly an unfit person, if person he may be termed, to associate with gentlemen, whether they come from the North or the South. porations there would be no corruption; with the public as joint owners the influence of all citizens would be against unjust discrimination—an example of a publicly owned service, one in which every family of the nation is represented, one in which the people take especial pride is the French army. Surely, then, we can find no injustice, no corruption here—except in the Dryfus case! Municipal ownership is making great progress in France. In America it is only the private corporations which support lobbies for influencing legislations; the fire departments, the police departments, the postoffice departments are neither for nor against the measures which benefit their members at the expense of the general public. But the President of the United States has found it necessary to forbid the members of the postoffice department from lobbying to influence legislation in their favor! With private ownership of gas and electric lighting plants the public have no share in the profits; with municipal ownership of these plants the public could not be excluded. But the failure of the Philadelphia municipal gas plant is explained as due to private ownership of the municipal government! Evidently when a municipal government becomes a municipal monopoly it becomes worth owning, and being worth owning soon will find its owner. What is everybody's business is nobody's business; that is the condition of a municipal plant before it finds its owner. But it is urged that all municipal plants are not like the twenty-four hours' delay on the high seas on account of rough weather. He at once telegraphed his respects to President Roosevelt, which were immediately returned by the President, and during the day and evening he was entertained by the New Yorkers in an official way. The prince left for Washington City early Monday morning to meet the President and his Cabinet, and be entertained at the nation's capital. From New York to Washington the railroad stations, so says the Associated Press, were thronged with eager sightseers wishing to catch a glimpse of the distinguished German price, who was visiting the United States in an official capacity. During the week, as has been predicted in these columns, the snobbery of this country have vied with each other for an opportunity to but touch the hem of his garment and kiss his royal hand, while the matter of fact business man have gone about his affairs just the same as though one of Germany's laborers had reached this country and repaired to the White House to deliver some official message to the President. There is no great harm in the United States citizens showing the prince much deference, owing to his official standing in Germany, but for citizens of this country to make shows of themselves in order to get to kiss the hand of a prince is evidence that they are not the conservative business-like people that even Prince Henry himself had put them down as being. 一 The United States Senate has named a committee of its own members to gather better information concerning the distranchising of a large number of voters in the South. The Senate went on record as having no knowledge of any voters having been distranchised in the South, and for that reason it wanted its own committee to investigate the conditions. The Republican feeels that the Senate is correct in its assertion, that it had no knowledge of such unlawful acts, but the individual members of the United States Senate are quite well aware of the fact that the condition of affairs existing in the South is to be found in no other civilized country in the world, and for it to hide itself behind what it is pleased to term "conservation," is but another way to dodge the real issue of taking official cognizance of the distranchising of many voters in the South, and which disfranchisement is contrary to the laws laid down by the constitution and its amendments. Under the circumstances there is no hope for this matter being taken up within the next two or four years, and perhaps not then. For nearly a century after slavery was introduced in this country it was permitted and tolerated by the United States Senate and the other high officials of this country, and on first one pretext and then another the issue was dodged and dodged until the country was confronted with a situation that could be settled only by the flowing of human gore, and this was done to an alarming extent, and in settling the question 100,000 of America's bravest men were sent to untimely graves. While The Republican does not believe the question now agitating the public's mind will have any such fatal results as this, it does believe that the United States Congress should meet this question fairly and squarely and settle it for all time to come. It can do so and it should do so. If those men in the South are not deserving of the ballot LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 --- PRICE FIVE CENTS Philadelphia gas plant; there is the Detroit electric light plant, for instance, the people own that. Oh, no! That plant belongs to a philanthropist by the name of Pingree. It is said to have been remarkably successful so far, but that is due to the owner. Tomorrow it may be owned by a Tweed or a Croker. Municipal ownership will raise the standard of citizenship because it will prevent the stealing of a railway franchise by one man, a gas franchise by another, and a telephone franchise by a third, though a monopoly of all these services by the municipality, which, itself, can be stolen by only one man. This will decrease the number of corrupt men in the community. Municipal ownership will raise the standard of virtue among municipal employees. The assessor who will overlook a half million of dollars' worth of property belonging to a private electric light company will then become a municipal electric light inspector, who will have not the slightest difficulty in seeing a half a hundred "dead head" lights in the saloon of an influential politician! Finally, public ownership is making the greatest progress among the people who are being left behind in the race for the world's supremacy. It has made more progress in Europe than in America; more progress in Tacoma than in Seattle. These are our examples. Let us go and do likewise! the constitution should legally take the ballot from them, and they should not be considered as a part and parcel of the South, and representation given to the dominant party for them, despite the fact they are not permitted to vote one way or the other. During the last quarter of the year 1901 over 83,000 foreigners landed at New York. One-fifth of the entire number were Southern Italians and the following nationalities as to numbers came in in the following order: Hebrew, Poles and Germans. Over 18,725 emigrants 14 years old were among the number, 27 per cent of whom could neither read nor write. The most illiteracy was found among the Portuguese, 82 per cent of whom could neither read nor write.

It appearing to us on the face of the returns of the late Republican primaries that the voters of Seattle were neither in political harmony nor public accord with the political ideas as well as the mayoralty candidate advocated by The Seattle Republican, it is incumbent upon us to explain where we are at from a political standpoint as to the present municipal contest. This, we admit, is no easy task, but we believe we can the more readily explain to you our position by relating a true story to life, which was told in our presence a few years ago. A stranger, who was compelled to travel through a sparsely settled Southern swamp country, was uncertain as to his directions, and having perchance to run across a philosophical old colored man whose queer philosophy was frequently seasoned with spices of humor he inquired of him his directions. In reply to a question of what road and which direction he should take to reach his destination, the stranger carefully listened to the following directions from his ebony-hued guide: "Take dis road and go 'bout a mile til you com to de forks; den take the right han' fork. Den keep straight 'head til you come to annu尔德 fork; den take the left han' fork and go annu尔德 mile, den you will go a mighty big swamp; den go 'round dat swamp til you come to a mighty big oak 'bout de middle of de swamp and den stop." And the guide ceased to give further directions. "Yes," chimed in the bewildered traveler, "but where am I at then?" "Well, boss, if you're not loss den damno how to loose you." In our feeble way we have tried to direct the voters of this city the proper way out of the political wilderness in which we believed they had been lead, but they either seemed to think that either we ourselves were lost, or that they themselves preferred to be lost rather than to be found by our directions, and to which all we have to say is, be lost. In the past this paper has always stood for the Republican nominees regardless of whom they were, but it feels at this time that the voters of Seattle have thoroughly made up their minds as to what course they will pursue in the coming election, therefore, nothing that it can say one way or the other will, in its opinion, alter or change the minds of such voters. We, under the circumstances, are therefore compelled to say to you that you are at liberty to vote your honest convictions for the next mayor of the city of Seattle whether those convictions will lead you to vote for the Republican, Democrat, Populist or any other of the many nominees that have been made for your suffrage next Tuesday. Your vote at the primary and at the late city convention was tantamount to saying to us, "Go way back and sit down," and we have done so. WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE. The opponents of woman suffrage who predicted dire results for Colorado for giving women the right to vote in that state, has not realized the results that they expected. For eight years the women of Colorado have voted and, on the whole, according to Mr. William MacLeod Raine's summary of it, the women have conducted themselves at the poles just as well, if not better, as the men. At least fifty per cent. of the women of the state have availed themselves of the opportunity to vote and while they do not always vote so as to meet the approbation of the male voters, yet it is said without fear of successful contradiction that they have always voted for what they deemed right. The women do not seem so partisansly blind as the men and generally vote for the nominee that impresses them as being the man who will conduct the affairs of his office as it should be. Through the influence of women votes, much reform legislation has been enacted in the state of Colorado, which to the better thinking people of both classes, seems to be of the right kind of legislation for humanity's sake. The women succeeded in preventing the husbands in Colorado from mortgaging the home without the consent of the wife. A new primary election law was passed by the legislature at the earnest solicitation of the women. It was through their efforts that a bill was passed raising the age of consent of girls from fourteen to eighteen years of age. They have also done much toward bettering the conditions of the prisons and reform schools in the state, especially where girls are detained and such unfortunate girls can now learn useful trades in the reformatory and when they leave the school they will have something in their possession with which they can make a living if they so desire. Let it be understood that there are always a number of women just as there are men in politics for what there is in it for them. They are trading commodity and will sell their vote just as readily as the men, but let it be distinctly understood, if Mr. Raine is to be believed, that they will sell it no quicker than the men. The lower element of women sell their votes as do the men of the same stripe and they work politics, as said above, for what there is in it. It can be safely said, however, after duly observing its working, that Colorado has not suffered from woman suffrage, and the same is true of all other states that have successfully tried it. Our associate editor, who is now in New Orleans, has our thanks for a Mardi Gras number of the Picayune of that city. It certainly is a thing of beauty from a journalistic standpoint. Mardi Gras, which is the final feast preparatory to King Rex retiring for the Lenten season, is perhaps the greatest carnival in the United States, and as it grows older it likewise grows better, and, of course, annually attracts increased numbers to the Crescent City to witness its performances. "Let us get together," says a Tacoma Democratic paper, referring to the members of its own party. Well, if there be any prospects of the Democrats of Tacoma getting together, we are right glad that our duties will demand our personal attention on that particular time in the city of Seattle. We have often heard of barbers being butchers, but never before as being burglaries, and yet the Van Asselt robbery seems to point that way. Our Democratic friends selected Washington's birthday on which to hold their convention in this city, with the belief that "better the day, better the deed." We remember that a national Democratic convention was once held on the Nation's natal day, and Bryan was nominated, and if our memory serves us right, he was the worst beaten man the Democrats ever nominated for President. It was on February 11th, 1802, that Jesse Fell discovered that anathracite coal would burn and since that time its production has grown apace with the times until now some 140,000 laborers are employed in the anathracite coal regions and on that date of this February these commemorated the memory of Mr. Fell for his most wonderful discovery. An attorney of this city declared in open court one day this week that two of the police officers perjured themselves on the witness stand, and yet neither of those officers resented the grave accusation. For Heaven's sake, is such really true, and do those officers know better than to make a roar less the same be proven? God forbid. What does the Pomeroy Independent mean when it says, "This paper is likely to have some decided opinions before the coming fall campaign is ended?" We have always labored under the opinion that the paper was without opinions, decided or otherwise, but we never thought that the editor thereof would publicly admit the fact. The most of the members of the present city council not having been renominated by the Republican convention, took the bull by the horns and located the library on Fourth and Madison. At the same session they also permitted a street car line to be built through Woodland Park, all of which was expected. For past fancied grievances, perhaps, the "Femali-Hurld" last Saturday published Colonel Blethen's picture as a frontpiece, and now it is patting itself on the back that it has played even with the Colonel, and we are of the opinion that it even did more than that. Perhaps President Roosevelt has not poured oil on the troubled waters by his decision in the Schley-Sampson case, but he has evidently poured water on the flaming fires, which will be productive of much more quieting effect than would oil on the troubled waters. By a strict party vote the Philippine tariff bill was passed by the Senate last Monday. Crazy Tiliman frotted at the mouth because he could not howl another day on the bill, but fortune favored the Senate and he was shut out. "There is not a city on the Coast for which nature has done more than Olympia," says the Olympian. Yes, and not a city on the Coast for which her citizens have done as little to help nature as have the Olympians. Evidently W. J. Bryan will support the next Democratic Presidential nominee whether he be Bryan or the other fellow, but on what grounds he will support him he himself is unable to say at this writing. South Carolina produced the brute that murdered Charles Sumner, and it has likewise produced the brute that has disgraced the United States Senate by striking a fellow Senator with his fist. Notwithstanding the fact that the next National Republican convention is some distance in the future, it begins to look to us like Mark Hanna is rapidly coming to the front as the next Republican Presidential nominee. Of course, the Southern Negroes are migrating North for the reason that, if they try to stay in the South, they are forced to migrate to world's unknown. No coarser nor more vulgar brute in human garb was ever produced in any state or country than South Carolina's own and only Ben Tillman. Captain Oberlin M. Carter may have troubles of his own, but, most decidedly, there are others and among them is your Uncle Sam. For the Lord's sake keep mum, Governor, about political bolsters. It strikes us that Teddy is stretching the Monroe doctrine when he attempts to make it cover China in a similar way as it does America. And now the Supreme Court rules that it has no jurisdiction in the merger case. And thus passeth another pipe dream. It takes but a glance at the records of the late Democratic convention to see that Bo Sweeney Tuck'er by storm. Uncle Sam's would-be snobbery have enjoyed its royal dose of sauerkraut most highly.

The Republican convention could not have nominated a man in the city of Seattle who stands higher in the public opinion than John Riplinger. Mr. Riplinger was born October 12th, 1864 in Hastings, Minnesota, and spent his boyhood as well as early manhood in that state. At the age of 22 he engaged in the newspaper business at Hastings, his native town, by purchasing the "Hastings Union," a weekly paper of that city. He continued in that business until 1889, when, on account of failure of health, he sold out the paper and came to the state of Washington to permanently reside. He first cast his lot in Skagit county, near La Conner, where he purchased a home and went into the real estate business. Later he came to Seattle, and on account of his splendid clerical abilities he was given a temporary situation to check up the tax roll under Byron Phelps, who was at that time county treasurer. After completing this special line of work in the office he was made chief deputy by Mr. Phelps, which place he held about eight years. After retiring from that office, owing to the fact that a Populist had been elected over a Republican nominee, for two years he engaged in the mining business in Eastern Washington, but he returned again to Seattle, and in 1898 was appointed chief clerk in the city comptroller's office under Will H. Parry, and was continued in the same position under Frank H. Paul, until now he himself is a candidate for the same position, and will, in the opinion of The Republican, be overwhelmingly elected. MAT H. GORMLEY No party in the history of this country is more progressive than the Republican party, and it never does things, when it undertakes to do them by halves. The convention last Friday nominated Mat H. Gormley by a unanimous vote, and in doing so it named the youngest man of any convention held in the city during the present municipal contest for a high official position. Captain Gormley was born March 8, 1867, in Walworth county. Wis., where he spent his boyhood days. In 1878 he came with his parents to Seattle, and since that time has been identified with the city, having received his education at the public schools of this city. He is a carpenter by trade, though he has not followed the vocation in later years. In 1882 he entered the State University, and four years later graduated with honors. While Governor McGraw was sheriff of King County, Captain Gormley acted as one of his deputies, and also acted as a deputy in Sheriff Woolery's office for a few months. He also served in the capacity of a deputy in JOSEPH WINSHIP. It was Lincoln that said: "The Democrats always do the right thing at the wrong time," which, for the most part, is quite true, but it is very doubtful whether they nominated Joseph Winship at the wrong time or not, for he is decidedly a most popular business man in this city, and one who has lived here for many years. In nominating him for the position of city treasurer a man was nominated in whom the people of Seattle have the utmost confidence. He has been connected with the grocery firm of Winship Bros. for, lo, these many years, and everybody who has dealt with him has found not only Mr. Winship himself but the firm, honest, upright and straightforward in all of its dealings. This has made such a favorable impression upon those dealing with him that it can be safely said at this time that a number of persons will vote for him who are Republican in politics, for they realize in him a business man and one worthy and fully competent to look after the interests of the city, and, regardless of his political faith, will give him a vote. Joseph Winship will probably give his Republican opponent the closest rub for election of any of the Democratic nominees. H. T. STOEL. JR. Last week The Republican spoke of H. T. Stole as the probable Democratic nominee for city controller. Its prediction came true, and now he is before you for your suffrage. Young Stoel is certainly an ideal young man, and certainly an ideal business young man and this statement is borne out from the fact that the Crescent Manufacturing Company has employed him for a number of years and strenuously objected to him accepting the nomination because it thought that there was a probability of the firm losing his services. He is a most worthy young gentleman, and is deserving of better treatment than can be given him at the hands of the Democratic party, but it is here predicted he will receive the full strength of his party and perhaps even more. W. J. GREEVEY. When the Democrats in convention assembled last Saturday unanimously nominated W. J. Creevey for councilman-at-large, they placed be fore the voters of this city one man the county treasurer's office under Byron Phelps. When the Spanish war broke out Captain Gormley was first lieutenant in Company B of the National Guard of Washington. When his company was ordered to report to the United States recruiting stations for duty Mr. Gormley was mustered in as first lieutenant of Company B of the First Washington Volunteers. His regiment sailed in November from San Francisco to the Philippine islands and arrived at those islands in time to participate in all of the hard fighting of the campaign. He was frequently commended by his superior officers for the bravery that he showed in the various fights, and was always ready for duty. After the Filipinos had been practically subdued he returned to the United States and was mustered out of service in San Francisco October, 1899, and he at once left for his home in Seattle. After S. F. Rathbun had been elected city treasurer in March, 1900, Captain Gormley was selected by him as his chief deputy, in which position he has made a brilliant record. Now that he is nominated for the same office he will be overwhelmingly elected, and will make equally as brilliant a record as chief as he did as deputy. MITCHELL GILLIAM. Owing to the fact that the state of Washington is practically in its infancy it seldom ever falls to the pleasant duty of any convention of any part in this state to nominate what all Californians take so much pride in, a "native son," for a high official position either in municipal, county or state affairs. However, the late Republican convention in this city found a pleasant exception to the rule for there was a gentleman asking the members of the convention for their respective indorsements who is a native of the state of Washington, and such gentleman is none other than Mitchell Gilliam, who is now the Republican nominee for corporation counsel. Mr. Gilliam was born near Walla Walla in 1859 and has resided in the state during his entire lifetime. He studied law in the office of ex-United States Senator John B. Allen, who now lives in this city, and who is one of Mr. Gilliam's most ardent supporters. He was admitted to the bar in 1884, and for a number of years practiced law in Yakima and Kittitas counties. In 1890 he came to Seattle and engaged in the practice of his profession with Hon. William Lair Lill. Since that time he has been a constant resident of King County, and has been one of Seattle's most successful practitioners. Never before did he aspire to a political office, and the hearty indorsement he received at the hands of the convention shows that the people appre whom they can point with pride to and against whom no one can say aught detrimental to his character or general deportment. As a candidate for councilman-at-large Mr. Creevey is going to give his antagonist a pretty close call and if his opponent wins he will know that he has been in the fight. Already a majority of the labor organizations of this city have endorsed the candidacy of Mr. Creevey and the Street Car Men's Union, composed of some 800 members, has likewise endorsed him for the position he seeks. For the past five years he has been a plumber in this city and for four years he was a delegate from the Plumbers' Union to the Western Central Labor Union. No man, regardless of his politics, will get more of the labor vote than Mr. Creevey and if he gets the natural Democratic strength there is every reason to believe that he stands a most excellent show of being elected. Aside from having a strong following among the labor unions Mr. Creevey is also a prominent member of a large number of the secret societies of this city and especially strong among the Woodmen of the World. He resides at present in Fremont, where he has a most excellent home overlooking Green Lake and Lake Washington. Never before has he been a candidate for any office at the hands of the voters, but he has always taken an active interest in Democratic politics and has been a delegate to every Democratic convention that has been held in the city since he has been a resident ofattle. H. H. KULIES The late Democratic convention recognized in nominating H. H. Kulies, the German-American element of not only its party, but or the city of Seattle, and that class of voters highly appreciate the honor and will doubt less rally to their countryman's support almost to a man and this means much to a candidate especially in Seattle. Mr. Kulies has been a resident of Seattle for nine years and has during the time he has resided here been a cigar manufacturer employing all the time a large force of men and never using at any time any but strictly union men. He believes in the principles of labor unionism and employs only men, who have their working cards with them. Prior to going into clate such citizens as Mr. Gilliam, who are not always clamoring to hold an office. The Republican believes it is safe in predicting at this time that next Tuesday Mr. Gilliam will receive a two to one vote over his Democratic opponent. FRANK P. MULLEN. Twelve years ago or thereabouts Frank P. Mullen, who has been nominated by the Republicans of this city for councilman-at-large, came to Seattle and pitched his tent in the thriving Queen City believing that he had finally reached the Eureka city of his commercial ambitions. For many years he was engaged in the pile driving business on the water front, and during that time had in his employ hundreds of laborers and mechanics, all of whom to this day swear by Frank P. Mullen. He finally sold out his business and purchased what is now known as the Abbot House, which is located near the corner of Pike street and Third avenue. In this business Mr. Mullen has been a huge success, and he has always been active in Republican politics in the ward. Prior to coming to Seattle Mr. Mullen was a resident of the state of Montana and in that state he was one of the best known railroad contractors in the Northwest. He has built railroad trackage, spurs and switches practically from St. Paul to Seattle and should he be elected to the city council, owing to the fact that Seattle will in the near future do a vast amount of street grading and streets in general, will prove to be a most valuable member of that body. It is such practical men as Mr. Mullen that the city council needs and not schemers and tricksters, who seek the office not only for the salary that is in it, but for whatever else they can get out of it by virtue of them holding the position. The voters of Seattle will find in Frank P. Mullen, if elected to the office, a man worthy of their most impliciable confidence, and a man who will give the city such services as has been seldom ever before given by any one in a similar capacity. Since Mr. Mullen has been in the city he has acquired a vast amount of property, and at present he has in the course of erection some seven different residences in the various parts of the city, and he has much other valuable property. It is, therefore, reasonable to suppose that he will do the best he can, if for no other reason than to protect his own interests, if elected councilman-at-large. H. P. BUDE. For the past six years the Republicans of this city and perhaps even the Democrats, have decided that Mr. Rude is the proper man to be in the city council, for he has twice before business in Seattle he was for four years engaged in the same kind of business in Tacoma. He has been an active and prominent Democratic worker ever since he has been in Seattle and his store has been the head quarters for leading down town Democrats for years. He is prominently connected with the Fraternal Order of Eagles and with a number of other fraternal orders in all of which he holds important offices. Mr. Kulies does not believe that being on the Democratic ticket this year is going to prevent him from getting a large Republican vote and he intimates that already a number of them have signified their intention to give him their vote next Tuesday and if they keep their promise it is more than likely that he will also give his antagonist a close call for the election. WILLIAM H. MURPHY. For the past two years the above gentleman has represented the Ninth Ward in the city council and the record that he has made since he has been a member of that body is one that no man need feel ashamed of. It may be true that the Republicans elected Mr. Murphy two years ago, though a Democrat, yet they need not be ashamed of what they did, notwithstanding the fact that they defeated one of the whitest Republicans, Hon. A. J. Goddard, that ever lived. A glance at some of the work that has been accomplished by Mr. Murphy since he has been in the city council will prove to you that he has not been asleep since that time. When he was elected there were but 100 street lights in the entire Ninth ward, now there are 245. Fremont was without fire protection; now a new fire engine house graces Lynden avenue, which has caused insurance rates to be greatly reduced. Fremont was without a water supply; but now a water main is being built to that suburb, and not only to Fremont, but to Latona, Green Lake, and the same will be extended to Ballard. Interbay, which is also a suburb of Seattle, has not been overlooked by him and a fire apparatus at a cost of $2,000 and two miles of two-inch pipe have been caused to be laid by his unwriting work. Street work has not been overlooked by him, and a new street has been built from Brooklyn to the University grounds at a cost of $900. A sidewalk has been built from Fremont been nominated and as many times overwhelmingly elected as councilman, at-large, and at the last convention he was nominated practically without opposition, and, judging from the past, he will be elected in the same way next Tuesday. Mr. Rude is a tailor by profession and has followed his trade ever since he has been in the city, and is at present at the head of one of the largest tailoring shops in Seattle. By no means a figurative head either, but every day he is to be found at his place of business, scissors in hand and working away the same as any of his hired men. Since he has been a member of the city council his record in an official capacity is an open book, and he has always been found on the side advocating Seattle's commercial advance. Things that came before the city council and which meant prosperity for Seattle were fought for by Mr. Rude. Though he has been a member of the council for eight years his name has never been connected with any public scandal in any shape, form or manner, which is a most excellent recommendation for any man that has held a public office as long as he has, and especially the office of city councilman, where bribery is so often charged against the members who vote for franchises and other public improvements. Not so with Mr. Rude. He has steered clear of them all, and he can today defy any man who would arrange him on such a charge. The Republican takes especial pleasure in commending H. P. Rude to its readers and friends for their suffrage next Tuesday, and in doing so it does so with the belief that it is recommending to you no better not more worthy man for whom you can cast your vote. HON. ELLIS MORRISON It was well that the Republicans made special efforts in the last primary fight to select such candidates for nomination as would recommend themselves to the business men of this city. The Fifth ward prides itself on having selected such a man in the person of Hon. Ellis Morrison, who is a candidate for councilman from that ward, and who will ask for the support of the voters of the ward. In 1895 Mr. Morrison was a member of the Washington State legislature, and was honored by his fellow members to the high office of speaker of the house. Since that time he has been steadily connected with a real estate firm in this city under the business title of Morrison & Eshelman. Buying and selling bonds and representing persons with money to invest has been the leading branch of this business concern, and along that line he has been a most brilliant success. Mr. Morrison is a civil engineer by trade, and for many years fol- democr avenue to Ross seminary. Other street improvements are rapidly being pushed in that ward at present, and all because Mr. Murphy has looked out for the interest of the Ninth ward. The following shows the amounts that have been paid out of the general fund for the Ninth ward at the instigation of Councilman Murphy: Total ..... $72,894 The Ninth Ward paid city taxes for the year 1900 amounting to $13,600; and for 1902 $14,350, making a total tax for the two years $28,000. Another important matter which Mr. Murphy has taken the lead in is the opening of the 100-foot boulevard from the corner of Fourth avenue and Pike street to Lake Union, thereby giving the residents of the Ninth Ward a cleaner and quicker route to the heart of the city. This propitiation has been favorably received by all concerned, and if Mr. Murphy be elected to the council for another two years to push it, it will soon become an actual reality. He is a most excellent gentleman and is generally liked by those who have met him, either officially or otherwise, and whether you agree with him in politics or not, if you talk to him you will be convinced that he is the man to represent the Ninth Ward in the city council. Being a prominent business man of the Ninth, it is but natural that he do his best for the community. --- lowed that line of business. In the course of his civil engineering career he constructed eight different water systems in Eastern States, and with water works he is thoroughly conversant. Now, if Seattle is in need of any kind of a professional man in her council, it is a man conversant with the water system business. Notwithstanding the fact that Seattle has a water supply equaled by that of no other city in the United States, nevertheless there is more complaint about the water system in Seattle than perhaps any other city in the United States. Mr. Morrison, as said above, being thoroughly conversant in this particular line of business, will naturally take the lead in straightening out Seattle's water tangle, and if allowed to remain long enough in the city council he will, with the aid of others, give Seattle the best water system in the United States. Mr. Morrison is practically without opposition in his ward for this position, but despite that The Republican hopes that the voters will work just as hard as if he had a strong opposition and give him five out of every six votes that are cast for the Fifth Ward councilman. ABRAHAM KISTLER After a hard fought primary battle in the Second Ward, Mr. Kistler was nominated for the ward councilman. No sooner had he received the nomination than every Republican in the ward came forward and congratulated him and promised him their undivided support. In 1892 Mr. Kistler was a member of the house of delegates of the city of Seattle, and in such capacity he proved to be one of the most important members in the city council. His efforts in behalf of the city were untiring, and they were always crowned with success. For years he has been a resident of the Second Ward and has run the veritable "corner grocery," and he has been a success beyond even his own expectation in the business. The business has not only been a financial success, but during that time he has met everybody practically that has lived in the ward, and no one has aught to say against Kistler in a business way. While a Republican in politics, he has not allowed his politics to interfere with his business, and for that reason he has enjoyed the confidence and trade of all partisans in his community. Though he is only a grocer by profession, yet his business experience will be much needed in the coming deliberations of the city council, and if elected he will be of much benefit to the city. The Republican voters of the Second Ward, when they scrap they scrap hard, and when they lose they lose equally hard, and the fellow that wins out is always the fellow that gets their united support, and that be- R. H. CALLIGAN. For forty years this sturdy old pioneer has done business on the streets of Seattle. He has seen it grow, not from a village, but from a forest to a fine city. He has not only seen it grow but has helped it to grow, and during all of that time he has been a part and parcel of its active business life. Some twenty-eight years ago Mr. Calligan cleared the lots where his press ent home now stands and built a house out of the logs which he cut off of the lot. That home still stands as a reminder to him and the other old pioneers of this city what Seattle once was. Last Saturday his Democratic friends urged him for the first time in his life to accept a political honor, and he was given the nomination for councilman from the Fourth Ward, which he finally accepted after much hesitation. If integrity, honesty, forward business dealings count for anything Mr. Calligan will be the next councilman from that ward, because no one can say aught against him, and he is liked by the property owners, laboring men and business men, one and the same, and all know naught of him but fairness and honest dealings. At present a score or more leading Republican workers of the Fourth Ward have publicly announced their intentions to support and work for Mr. Calligan's election, and it begins to look now as though their efforts will be crowned with success. Men love to vote for good, straightforward business men, regardless of their political faiths and beliefs and especially when such men are candidates for municipal offices where politics should play no part in the election. The Republican is, therefore, of the opinion that R. H. Calligan will be the next councilman who will hand in his credentials of election as representative of that ward in the council chambers. ALPHEUS BYERS. Two years ago Mr. Byers defeated H. C. Gill at the polls for the councilmanship of the Third ward and since that time he has been a prominent member and active worker in the city council. He has again been nominated by the Democratic party and again pitted against his former antagonist, Mr. Gill, for the same position, which he has so admirably filled for the past two years. In speaking about his reelection Mr. Byers submits a brief Nominees ing true Mr. Kistler will be elected by cent, and that is saying a good deal, but he will be because the Second Ward, like all of the wards in this city, have grown very paridly within the past two years. HIRAM G. GILL. The Republicans of the Third Ward nominated a man for city councilman who improves as you know him better. Two years ago Mr. Gill was defeated for re-election by a number of persons who did not understand the work he had done while a member of the city council, but who has since learned that they were mistaken in their opinions of him, and for that reason the men who worked the hardest against the re-election of Mr. Gill, worked the hardest for his nomination last Friday and he was nominated without any opposition whatever. While Mr. Gill was beaten by but three votes two years ago those men who labored to defeat him on that occasion will at the polls next Tuesday work just as hard to elect him to the position for which he has been nominated. Strange as it may seem, Mr. Gill is the only lawyer nominated by any of the wards for councilman, and it is due the administration that at least one lawyer hold a membership in its legislative body in order to warn the members thereof to shape of legislation. Of course, this is the duty of the corporation counsel, but when there is a lawyer in the body his legal knowledge is always of much service to the members of the council in shaping up their ordinances. The Republican hopes that the voters of the third ward will not permit Mr. Gill to be defeated, and they will not, if for no other reason than for his legal knowledge and because he is the only man of his profession that has been nominated for a councilmanship in the city. Despite the fact that charges were made against Mr. Gill two years ago, he stands ready to refute them, because he feels absolutely certain that no one can show in a single instance where he besmirched his official ermine while he was councilman from the Third Ward one way or the other. The Third Ward Republicans are satisfied that Mr. Gill was wrongly maligned two years ago, and this accounts for them renominating him and will account for them electing him by an overwhelming majority next Tuesday. He is a man of a positive character and a man who speaks his opinion without fear or favor, and if such men are not the essence of good Americanism then good Americanism cannot be found. Since early boyhood Mr. Gill has been a part and parcel of Seattle's citizenship, and has always been highly respected by those who knew him best, and those who learned to speak sketch of the improvements he has secured for the Third ward during his two years' incumbency of the office. First, the ward has secured more appropriations than ever before. For the opening and improving of Madison street he secured an appropriation of $7,000. A liberal appropriation was also made at his instigation for the planking of East Union street. A sewage pipe has been laid on Fourteenth avenue. East Pike has been opened, graded and sidewalked. An appropriation for the opening and grading of Twenty-third avenue was also secured by him for his ward. All applications for opening and grading streets in the Third ward have been given due consideration by Mr. Byers and in most instances the request of the petitioners have been granted. An increased number of street lights have been put in throughout the ward and other improvements, which Mr. Byers says, was sadly neglected in the past have been put in under his administration. Without cost to the city he secured a quit claim deed to a portion of Twenty-second avenue, 200x66 feet and likewise a quit claim deed for a 400x33 foot lot on East Jefferson street between Twenty-third and Twenty fifth avenues, the same without cost to the city. These two pieces of property were worth $1800, which would more than pay for the salary of Mr. Byers for the two years he has been councilman. Evidently he has been doing hard work for the city and for his ward and he points to his record since he has been councilman as an endorsement for his re-election at the polls next Tuesday. NEAL BOYLE. The Democrats of the Sixth ward believe that in the person of Neal Boyle they have found a man that will defeat the present councilman from that ward, who has twice been elected to the position. In a circular issued by Mr. Boyle he charges that the Sixth ward councilman during the past two years has gotten but $400 out of the city's funds for ward improvements all because the councilman would not ask for it. He further charges the councilman with general neglect of duty and with not looking after the neces sary improvements that the ward is much in need of at present. Mr Boyle's circular charges the present evil of him for fancied grievances have long since learned the errors of their ways, and on next Tuesday they will show to him that they believe he is made of the proper material to represent true Americanism. Mr. H. C. Gill is the prince of good fellows wherever he is known, and white ne may not be as easy to get acquainted with as many other men, who are overloaded with deceit, nevertheless when once acquainted with him you will find him to be just what he says he is. Let every Republican and even Democrats go to the polls next Tuesday and wipe out the wrong that they committed against Mr. Gill two years ago. J. C. REDWARD The Seventh Ward Republicans have nominated the well-known builder and contractor whose name heads this article, for councilman from that ward. Mr. Redward lacked but one vote of being nominated for the same position two years ago, and it shows his personal popularity when he could wait two years and then come forward again and receive the nomination over a man who is as popular among the boys as is Jed G. Blake. The Republican predicts that Mr. Redward's Democratic opponent will not get one fourth as many votes as he will; in fact, there seems no more show of Mr. Christopher being elected than there would be of a lump of ice passing through hades. Mr. Redward will make a most excellent companion for such men as Mr. Mullen, Mr. Morrison and Mr. Kistler, who are thorough business men of this city, and who have had large experience in construction work, such as Seattle will have to do in enormous quantities during the next few years to come. Who knows better about the needs of Seattle than an experienced contractor therein? Who could serve the city in a better capacity than a successful contractor who had done business in such city during all of its booming times? If such be true then there is no doubt in your mind but that Mr. Redward will make an ideal councilman even for a ward in which as many of the "400" live as in the Seventh. The Seventh is at present the largest ward in the city, and for the past two years it has done more building, and at present more building is going on in that ward than in any other in the city of Seattle, and it behooves the citizens of that ward to look well to their interests and elect a man who is thoroughly identified with the business push of not only the ward, but the entire city, and it is predicted that they will find a most excellent subject in J. C. Redward, who has been nominated by the Republicans to represent the ward in the council for the next two years. representative from that ward with devoting so much of his official time to the needs of the corporations desiring franchises in the city that he has completely overlooked the needs of the people. In his circular he claims that if he is elected he will see that the Sixth ward in the future will get its share of the taxes paid into the city treasury and to look carefully after the interests of the people not only in the ward, but throughout the city, which his opponent has not done in the past. He promises to stand squarely on his party platform, which The Republican must admit, is a most excellent document. Mr. Boyle closes his circular by making a personal appeal to the voters and his long residence in the city will give weight to his utterances in this fight. He is a good business man, a heavy property owner and is going to put up a good hard fight for election. The stewardess board of the A. M. E. Church of this city will give a campaign supper at the G. A. R. hall in the Collins block, Second Avenue and James Street, March 3rd next, at which time they will serve a most excellent dinner to the general public. Everybody is cordially invited to be present and partake of an old fashioned dinner prepared and served by the best colored cooks in the city Rev. Scott of the A. M. E. Church says that the proceeds from the dinner will be applied to the church debt which he hopes to soon have completely cleaned up.

As has been stated before in these columns, news of this nature must be mailed or 'phoned to the office. The local man of the paper is not a reporter, but an advertising man, occasionally taking notes. The young men of the Twentieth Century Club, of which J. F. Cragwell is president, are making extensive preparations to give a full dress social immediately after Easter or about the 8th of April and it bids fair to eclipse anything that has ever before been given in Seattle. The invitations will be out about the 10th of March. A splendid time is promised. If Mrs. James Faubush, nee Miss Henrietta Spurgeon, formerly of Columbus, Ohio, will communicate with this office she will learn some good news. Mrs. Faubush and her husband formerly lived in Franklin, then moved to Roslyn, since when nothing has been heard of them. If you know anything of their whereabouts, write the Seattle Republican or send them this notice. Through the kindness of H. W. Grandy the local man was furnished with a copy of the Commercial-Advertiser, of Honolulu, Hawaii, which recites the fact that Ernest Hogan, as the head of a theatrical venture, challenged Prince Jonah Klamaianole, the reigning prince of the royal family, to fight a duel on account of a difference in a final settlement, which apparently was guaranteed by the banking house of which the prince is the nominal head. It is hardly necessary to say that the prince paid no attention to it, nor did Hogan expect him to. It is an old established rule that royal blood will meet only their equal in a dueling contest. But as an advertising man Hogan is "it", and makes James Neill the "balking Elk," look like thirty cents. It is needless to say that Hogan and company are now enroute to New York where Ernest will open on a large salary as the man "That made the prince lay down."
