The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN SPOKANE COUNTY CONVENTION Histrical Society VOL. IX, NO. 10 SPOK PETER H. HARRIS In view of the fact that the Spokane county convention so unanimously endorsed both Representatives Jones and Cushman and such being the record of that convention, Mr. Jones is made a part of this issue. No man in the public's eye in this state stands higher than Yakima Jones. He is not only popular in Eastern Washington, but he is equally popular in Western Washington. In every county in the state where the Republicans have held their conventions W. L. Jones' work in Congress has been unanimously endorsed, all of which shows very conclusively that he stands well with the voters. Mr. Jones will be nominated without a dissenting vote in the coming state convention. The little city of Yakima is to be congratulated in possessing such a public jewel. --- COUNTY TICKET.

H. J. KENNAN Candidate for superior judge, was born in Norfolk, Ohio, in 1852. He lived in Ohio until 1891, graduating from Adelbert college at Cleveland. He was admitted to the bar in 1875, and practiced law, serving three years as a probate judge. Coming to Spokane in 1891, Mr. Kennan formed a law part nership with E. H. Belden until 1897. He was elected a justice of the peace in 1898, re-elected in 1900, and has presided over the police court throughout that time. He is past grand master of the Masons of the state. DOUST FOLLOWED MINING DOUST FOLLOWED MINING. William J. Doust, nominee for sheriff, was born in Syracuse, N. Y., in 1857. He was educated in western New York, and in 1879 moved to Leadville, Colo., where he was engaged in mining until 1887, when he moved to Spokane county, taking up a home-stead on Green Bluff prairie, 16 miles north of the city. In 1899 Mr. Doust was appointed clerk of the board of county commissioners as a deputy auditor, but resigning that position to engage in business at Hillyard. He has served as sheriff for the past two years. TION SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 1, 1902 [Picture of a man with a mustache and a high collar, wearing a dark coat and a white shirt.

Mr. Rockwell then offered the following resolution, indorsing Wilson: "We request and instruct the Republican senators and representatives from Spokane county nominated by this convention or prior conventions, to give their unwavering and loyal support to the candidacy of the Hon. John L. Wilson for the United States Senate. To this proposition we invite the cordial co-operation of the commercial, industrial and agricultural interests of Spokane county, calling their attention to the fact that if Spokane county ```markdown ``` W.

He came to Spokane in 1892, and has since been employed in various clerkships. He was until recently private secretary to F. Lewis Clark, but is now employed as clerk with Arthur D. Jones & Co. He has never held public office, but was chosen treasurer of the Spokane chamberof commerce about a year ago, and is serving his third year as treasurer of the Y. M. C. A. He is past master of Oriental Lodge Free and Accepted Masons, and is a member of the chapter and is a 32d degree Mason. He is married and resides at No. 1617 Broadway. E. K. ERWIN. Nominee for county clerk, was born in Freeport, Ill., in 1860. In early boyhood his parents moved to Tomah, Wis., where he followed the occupation of bookkeeper and accountant, also serving as city clerk in 1887. In 1892 he came to Spokane and engaged in abstracting and accountant work until the opening of the war with Spain. For many years Mr. Erwin had been identified with the National Guard of Washington and was sworn into the United States service as a first lieutenant and assigned to Company A, First Washington Volunteers when and the territory contiguous thereto is to have a representative in the United States Senate that man must be a Republican. "Spokane county, in wealth, population and the variety of its interests, is today the most important center in Eastern Washington. Its interests are, for all practical purposes, the same as those of Western Washington, and we ask the Republican Senators and Representatives elected from Eastern Washington a most respectful and deliberate consideration of the candidate named by this convention. During Mr Davis HON. JOHN L. WILSON. that organization went into the field in the Philippines. After the war he acted as bookkeeper for the Hill Shoe Company, giving up that position to become county clerk two years ago. WILLIAM M. DEAN. Candidate to succeed himself as county commissioner for the Third district, is one of the pioneers of Cheney. He is an old soldier, and a man 57 years of age. While he resides in Cheney, he owns one of the largest farms near there, which he rents. He was at one time engaged in the sawmill business on the coast and was also a railroad man. ZACHARIAH STEWART The Republican nominee for county auditor is too well known to need any extended notice in these columns. He probably of all the candidates enjoys the largest acquaintance among the agricultural classes of any of the candidates named on the ticket. Mr. Stewart was at one time county superintendent of schools, and is now engaged in one of the city schools. To say that Mr. Stewart will be elected is simply making a prediction that the future will verify. GEORGE W. STOCKER Candidate for justice of the peace was born in Michigan in 1865. He came to Spokane in 1889 and engaged in teaching at Medical Lake. Subsequent --- Wilson's four year term in the United States Senate, by diligent effort and unflagging industry, he obtained and placed upon the statute book much legislation beneficial to this state, and at all times, both in public and private life, he has been true to the principles of the Republican party, and has valiantly fought its battles. We therefore heartily indorse his candidacy, and instruct the members of the legislature from Spokane county to support the same until they shall unanimously agree that another course may be preferable." ```markdown ``` ly he entered the law office of Jones & Voorhees and was admitted to practice in all the courts of the state in 1892. He practiced law until 1899, when he accepted the appointment of deputy county treasurer under A. L. Smith. He was a candidate for justice of the peace in 1896, but went down with his party in the landslide of the populists. He is prominent in Odd Fellowship, and is now serving his fourth term as grand scribe of the Grand Encampment of Washington. He is married and lives at 2518 Gardner avenue. M. B. J. M. SNOW. The candidate for county surveyor, J. M. Snow, has served as a deputy in that office for the past two years. He was born in Brunswick, Maine, in 1850, and came to Washington Territory in 1869. He resided in the Puget Sound country for many years and was city engineer at Seattle in 1883. He came to the Chelan country in 1885 and spent the succeeding years there prac- ticing his profession, being connected with the surveyor general's office at Washington, D. C. In 1896 he came to Spokane with the Northern Pacific land department, with whom he remained until going into the surveyor's office two years ago. STEWART IS A PRINTER Dayton H. Stewart, candidate for assessor, was born at Iola, Kan., in 1870. He came to Seattle with his parents in 1872. They returned to Kansas in 1882, but came back to Washington in the spring of 1884, locating at Cheney after a short stay at Dayton and Ritzville. Mr. Stewart entered the printing business when 14 years of age, and was the publisher and editor of the Cheney Sentinel for about nine years. He came to Spokane three years ago. He was a deputy under Sheriff Cole during the last six months of Mr. Cole's term. Since February, 1901, he has been employed as proofreader and printer by The Spokesman-Review. He resides with his family at No. 1117 Fourth avenue. --- [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. HON. FRANCIS W. CUSHMAN No question in this state is being so widely discussed at present as the railroad commission bill, and wishing to understand just where Mr. Cushman stood on this question the Tacoma Ledger elicited the following from Mr. Cushman on the all-absorbing question: "Tacoma, Wash. July 24, 1902. "Editor of the Tacoma Ledger. "Sir. I am in receipt of your favor of yesterday asking me for a brief expression of my views relative to the matter of a proposed railway commission in this state. I have no especial desire to inflict my ideas in relation to this or any other issue upon others; neither have I any selfish or timid reasons for desiring to conceal my views when asked for. I am in favor of a regulative railway commission in this state, to consist of three members, appointed by the governor. In making this brief statement I am mindful of the fact that the railways in this state SPOKANE POLITICS Spokane, July 30.—As was predicted last week, the railroads have accepted the invitations of the farmers of the Palouse and Big Bend countries to join them in a discussion of freight and farming matters with a view to agreeing upon certain reductions of rates which will be of considerable value to the raisers of wheat. As has been said, the railroad officials seem to have become alarmed at the determination of leading Republicans of the state to force in the state convention a plank in favor of a railroad commission, and are taking this way of heading off the growing sentiment and of quieting the farmers. Both President Hill and President Mellin of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific roads have accepted the invitation of the wheat growers and have said they would be present whenever the farmers are ready to discuss the matter. Of course these men know what the farmers will ask and they would not agree to go to the trouble of meeting the people of the grain raising districts if they did not intend to make some concessions which will reduce the cost of shipping the grain. If the meeting is held before the state convention of the Republican party the friends of the roads will then claim that there is no necessity for a railroad commission and will ask the convention not to endorse such a measure which if enacted into law might do much harm to the roads and in doing so injure the development of the state. They will claim that the roads in granting of their own accord reductions to the farmers will have shown their disposition to help the people of the state, and in fact will have helped them by the voluntary reductions more than a commission could benefit them in years. It is quite probable, in order to make the effect of the reductions the more pronounced that the meeting of the railroad authorities with the farmers will be held shortly before the state convention, but if it should not be held until after the state convention it will be the intention to make a similar plea to the members of the legislature. They will be told that when the roads of their own volition reduced rates those members who were instructed to vote for railroad legislation will be released from the necessity of doing so. If the freight rate reductions are PRICE FIVE CENTS TION have been powerful factors in building up the state; and likewise the people of the state have been powerful factors in building up the railroads. I have no inclination or desire to become a party to any action that would unjustly cripple or embarrass any railway company or other corporation. But it is no more unfair to the railroads of this state to have a commission than it is unfair to the people of the state not to have a commission. Without a commission the railroads may fix such a rate as they choose and the people, for all practical purposes, have no appeal therefrom. On the other hand, if the commission (when appointed) fix a rate so low as to be unjust to the railway company the railway company can appeal from the action of the commission to the United States supreme court, which tribunal will reverse, modify or set aside the action of the commission, as was done in the Burlington railway case in Nebraska. Very sincerely yours, "FRANCIS W. CUSHMAN." POLITICS made before the state convention the action of the roads will have a considerable effect on a large number of the delegates who now are in favor of a strong plank in the state platform on the railroad question, but Governor McRide certainly will not be satisfied. He has not talked so much about a reduction of the rate on wheat nor even that the rate for hauling grain is excessive. It has not been a rate bill which he has clamored for but a commission bill which will have power to regulate scores of other matters as well as freight rates. It is his claim that he is not working especially for the farmers of Eastern Washington, but for all classes of citizens who have to do with the railroads directly and indirectly. Therefore he will maintain in the state convention that no matter how many reductions the railroads may make in their rates, the state will still need and will always need a railroad commission. In this connection there is another matter of interest which may have a bearing along the same line. At the last session of the legislature a strong effort was made to pass a passenger rate bill which would have reduced rates to three cents a mile. It was aimed at the Spokane Falls & Northern road, which is about the only place where the reduction would have taken effect. Now the newspapers are reporting that the residents along the line of the Spokane Falls & Northern are preparing a petition asking that road to reduce the fare from five to three cents a mile. The announcement also is made that there is reason to believe that a reduction to at least four cents will be made and perhaps to three cents. Many believe that this is but another effort of the roads to quiet the growing agitation in favor of a railroad commission. It will be remembered that the three-cent passenger rate on the main lines in this state was granted by the roads of their own accord just prior to the convening of a session of the legislature. It seems quite possible that the managers of the railroads will do something along these lines in the next few weeks or months in order to prevent the legislature from passing the commission bill. At any rate there is a prospect of a hot fight between the roads and Continued on page 3. --- The Seattle Republican H. R. Cayton.....Editor Susie Revels Cayton.....Associate SUBSCRIPTION RATES. One Year.....$2.00 Six Months.....1.00 Three Months.....60 Entered at the Postoffice at Seattle as Second-class Mail Matter. Bona Fide Circulation.....2,500 It is surprising the number of Tra- cles that pop up all over the country. That big building boom which reigns supreme in Seattle is causing Porta- land, Tacoma, and even San Francisco to have fits every other hour. If Seattle does not experience an over supply of "Smiths" at no very distant date, it can be safely predicted that Jimmy Goldsmith has wofully miscalculated. Theodore Roosevelt can not rest contented as Senator Foraker has given his consent for him to be nominated for president in 1904. Foraker always was generous. "I consider Fitzsimmons a dangerous man in the ring."—Jeffries. There is no doubt but that Fitz is perfectly willing to return the compliment. Unless we are mistaken the next senatorial fight will be between John L. Wilson and Levi Ankney. If you can figure it out any other way you can beat us. "All men may have their price," but many of them are made of such cheap material that it would be a difficult matter to fix a price in actual coin small enough to pay for them. "Many men go through life without testing true friendship."—P.I. How true, and unless we are mistaken you speak from actual experience, and he who speaks from experience always speaks truly. A gatling gun turned loose on the whelps who parade in front of the restaurant run by the Neagle sisters trying to prevent customers from patronizing the place would prevent further such damnable impositions. Making money too fast has really been condemned by a Seattle man. Such a man, we surmise, is of that number who neither make money too fast or too slow, hence this strange kick. --- Senator Hanna must expect his party to have a close call at the polls next fall, which prompts him to make such heroic efforts to save the life of Dr. Wilson down in Nicaragua. We had no idea that votes in Ohio came so high. Some two weeks or more ago Spokane county held a Republican convention and the important work of that convention The Seattle Republican takes pleasure in presenting to you in this issue. It is all the same Seattle. "Big Fight a Fake," is a Times headline. Evidently the big fighters have caught the cue from the big evening publishers of newspapers and are faking the public all the same Tenth Extra, when in fact there is nothing to them. When one allows themselves to get so business busy to not have time to properly attend to business with no one having dealings with them, such person is the same as the one who has no business at all. This may be far fetched, but we think you see the point. --- Uncle Sam's fighting qualities was again to the front last Friday, when Jeffries whipped Fitzsimmons in San Francisco, and "Denver Ed" Smith whipped Armstrong and won the English championship the same night. Uncle Sam's boys are scrappers from 'way back. Unless we are badly mistaken there is still a very large reward awaiting a claimant, if the claimant will only take Harry Tracy with him to prove his identity. Tracy's face is worth a good deal to the fellow who will induce him to present it before the proper authorities. That welcome, which Tacoma attempted to tender her United States senator on his home coming, seems to have lacked the proper kind of a father to foster it into real greatness, but, after all, it favorably compared with the work that the senator has done since he has been in congress. "Prayer brings resignation."—Commonwealth. Then let us hope that President Roosevelt will refrain from such indulgence as he is making a most admirable chief executive and his "resignation" would bring about a series of political complications that would not be agreeable to politicians of this country just now. --- Speaker Henderson is to be defeated for reelection, so declares the Federation of Millers, because, forsooth, Mr. Henderson would not favor some proposition whereby the millers could bleed the public more successfully than they were doing. Such highway robbers and holdups ought themselves be sent to state prison on general principles. Lest the citizens of the Cuban Republic decide that no differences on account of color will be tolerated in that republic, Uncle Sam's liberty lovers have begun to agitate the annexation of Cuba to the United States. Perhaps for no other reason than the perminently planting of the color line distinction, so common to this country, in that little republic. No one ever yet reached the bottom-less depths of human deprivacy."—P.I. No? How about Hell-Roaring Jake Smith? And how about our own Southern Caucasians, who force men to eat their own vitals and who fight over the mutilated and burning bodies of Negroes for a part of them as mementoes to take home to their wives and babies? Aint they pretty near the bottom? Some colored man wrote not long since: "Whatever the white man undertakes there is always a 'nigger' in it." Yes! Well quite a number of white men undertook to capture Tracy and, notwithstanding the fact that there was an $8,000 incentive for so doing, when last heard from there was not only no 'nigger' in it, but there was none that even wanted to get in it. Sammy Perkins' News thinks: "Tacoma is an ideal summer city." That's true, neighbor, of all ocean resorts far removed from busy bustling civilization. Some months ago we recommended Tacoma as a splendid summer resort and resting place for business ridden men of Seattle, and now the News actually endorses what we have already said along this line. If you see it in the News, it must be so. --- Fulsome praise of Abraham Lincoln from Democratic sources of late years may sound good to persons born fifteen or twenty years ago in the North, but it sounds like the whines of a dirty cur to those who have lived since 1860. Any Democrat, even though he be a William Jennings Bryan, who slobbers all over the memory of Lincoln, is himself without honor, principle, or manhood, and no Democrat will do it. Now that General Cronje has been released from captivity and has returned to South Africa an English subject, he perhaps is a sadder but wiser man. Had not General Cronje and his damphool Boer associates tried to make slaves out of the natives of South Africa, instead of useful citizens of their republic, he would still have a country and a flag to live in. Vanity and pride have been the ruin of more men and nations than even war itself. A Political Machine. The New York Age complains that the editors of Afro-American papers no longer take any interest in the national Afro-American Press Association and therefore do not attend their annual meetings. Perhaps the reason the editors do not attend these meetings is because they are without sufficient interest to attract real live editors thereto. They are for the most part, unless the editor of this paper has been sadly misinformed, political clap-traps with no other intention than to advance some ones political ambitions in getting an office at the hands of the president of the United States, just as did the Afro-American Council at St. Paul the other day. When the Afro-American editorial associations meet and discuss the best ways and means of making interesting newspapers for the public in general and not for colored folks only, then they will attract more editors thereto, but so long as they are simply machines whereby this or that unscrupulous individual can use them for their own personal aggrandizement they will be left in the dumps by the editors in fact, which is right and proper. The editor of the Age is a dissappointed office seeker and he uses everything with which he is connected for the purpose of getting an office and then complains if others do not fall into his way of thinking. Southern Child Labor. Gunton's magazine is still discussing the child labor question of the South, where white children from seven years old and upwards are employed in the factories and thereby totally deprived of all educational facilities. The writer of the article points out the fact that owing to foolish race prejudice on the part of the Southern writes, Negroes are not permitted to work in the factories and they are confined to the agricultural pursuits of the country, which gives their children ample opportunity to attend the public schools and they are doing so. The late census shows that illiteracy is growing to an alarming extent among the poor whites of the South, while on the other hand literacy is becoming much more common among the blacks. With such schools as Hampton, Tuskegee and a hundred other similar institutions scattered throughout the South for colored children and with not a single one of the kind in the South for the white chil- Teeth Cleaned and Examined Free Teeth Extracted Without Pain, and without charge when other work is ordered. Full Set of Teeth ..... $4.00 Gold Crown, 22K Solid Gold Top ..... 5.00 Gold Fillings ..... 1.00 Silver Fillings ..... .50 Cement Fillings ..... .50 Seattle Dental Parlors enit it is plain to be seen that within the next two decades the illiteracy will be confined for the most part among the poor whites of the South instead of the blacks, as it has been for centuries in the past, and with such a prevailing condition there is no doubt, as has been previously said in these columns, but that the owners of factories will give the work to the educated head and hand in preference to the uneducated, whether such head and hand be white or black. Even a blind man can see that a great evolution is going on in the South so far as the inhabitants thereof are concerned, and, it is here predicted, that the day is not far distant when this evolution is going to burst forth into a revolution, and then something startling is going to be revealed. Day is beginning to dawn and when it does there is going to be a radical change in public affairs as to the sociological, racial conditions in the South. De Lesseps' Talk. Speaking about the Panama canal in which the president is so deeply interested and for which the United States government has agreed to purchase at a cost of $40,000,000, Charles de Lessseps, son of the late Ferdinand de Lessseps, says in the Paris Figaro that under his supervision $252,000,000 was expended on the canal and that if he had have had $20,000,000 more he could have completed the entire canal with locks. He further declares and is verified that at least 77,000,000 cubic yards of excavation was done by him. He is of the opinion that the canal can be completed within six years and that the United States government will adopt the plan of completing it without locks, which, he thinks, is superior to the lock system. If what de Lessseps says be true then President Roosevelt will probably see the completion of the canal before he retires from the presidency, as it is almost a foregone conclusion that he will both be nominated and elected in 1904.

Phone Main 588, Deliverles South o Pike --- The members of the Republican central committee of King county met last Saturday afternoon and after a short but decisive campaign between the friends of I. B. Knickerbocker, who has twice before served as chairman of the county central committee, and P. D. Hughes, the well-known attorney and ex-member of the civil service board of this city, elected Mr. Knickerbocker to succeed himself. There may be men in this county who are better politicians and probably could make a more brilliant campaign than Mr. Knickerbocker, but there is not a man connected with the political issues of the day in this county more conscientious as to his duty than he and his past record fully justifies the allegation. While Mr. Hughes may be a brilliant organizer and a fine campaign scrapper, Mr. Knickerbocker has the entire confidence of every ninee on the present ticket as well as the confidence of a majority of the Republicans in general, and he, therefore, will make a most excellent campaign later on in the present year. If one would believe the assertions in the Times the success of Mr. Knickerbocker in succeeding himself as chairman of the county central committee meant a knockout blow to John L. Wilson's senatorial aspirations. The fact of the matter is, neither Wilson, anti-Wilson, nor Preston cut any figure in the election of Mr. Knickerbocker to the chairmanship, for there are members of the central committee that voted for Mr. Knickerbocker who are Wilson men every day in the year; they are Wilson men for United States senator even to the detriment of Harold Preston, hence there is no truth in the cock and bull story published by the Times to the effect that Wilson was badly beaten in the organization of the Republican central committee In speaking to Chairman Knickerbocker about the campaign, he was of the opinion that the campaign would not open before the middle of September or the first of October. "In my opinion there will be no need of active campaign work being begun before October, and unless some unforeseen emergency arises to warrant me to begin work before that time, I will not open the campaign before the middle of September and perhaps not until the first of October. King county is overwhelmingly Republican and there no longer exists that bitter factional feeling that played such a conspicuous part in the last county and state campaign, and under such circumstances every nominee of the Republican ticket will be elected by a large majority. No, Mr. Van Houton's name was not presented to the committee for consideration for the chairmanship, not did Mr. Van Houten himself want it presented. It was myself who sug gested his name, but he would not have it as he had business interests in Montana that will call him away for a long time." The county central committee of Pierce county has named August the 15th as the date for the holding of the next convention there and from now on a hot fight for supremacy in the convention will be waged by the warring factions that are now quite prominent in Pierce county. The friends of Gov. McBride are being severely censured by the rank and file of the party in that county for the interference of the governor in local affairs. When the governor announced that Ed Hamilton must be beaten at all hazards he brought down upon himself an unnecessary amount of opposition. Senator Hamilton will be renominated and, of course, re-elected, in spite of the governor's opposition. If reports be true, Pierce county of all the counties of the state will be the bitterest enemy Governor McBride will have in both the state convention and the next legislature, all because he has elected to put his fingers into the local affairs of that county. --- Speaking about Governor McBride's interference in the local affairs reminds the Pie-maker that in every county of the state his agents and frequently the governor himself is there dictating to the people as to what they should do in the shaping of their political affairs. Sometimes ago the Pie-maker predicted that Governor McBride was endeavoring to build up a political machine in this state such as would put to shame any other political machine that ever before existed in any state west of the Mississippi River. Subsequent developments along this line have more than proved what was predicted in these columns some months ago, and the Pie-maker serves notice on Governor McBride at this writing that unless he adopts different political methods in his future actions he is going to be the worse beaten man that ever entered the political arena in the state of Washington. When the Ple-maker some weeks ago said that Whitman county contained more political "peculiars" than any other community in the United States the statement was, to some extent, doubted by the readers of this column, but the following excerpt from the Colfax Commoner, a Democratic paper of that county, will to some ex- tent bare out the previous statement along this line. It is herewith quoted in full: The Republican county convention turned down Oliver Hall on the ground that he had supported John L. Wilson. The same convention endorsed J. N. Pickrell for Congress, probably, on the ground that while chairman of the county committee in 1898, he insisted that Oliver Hall should support John L. Wilson. The convention was about as consistent in this matter as it was in nominating Ankney candidates for the legislature and then endorsing the railroad policy of Governor McBride. According to The Daily Bulletin's senatorial forecast that paper hopes of Harold Preston's candidacy being assisted in any great degree by Chehalie county, as it gives nearly all the other papers in the county as supporters of Levi Ankney. The Bulletin may find itself slightly in error on this score; all the racers have not yet been trotted out before the public. It is still a possibility that the friends of Governor McBride may have something to say. Then there is Chas, Sweeney of Spokane, and W. L. Jones of Yakima, who are both possible candidates, so that the Chehalis papers are not by any means confined to the choice of Preston, Wilson and Ankney. -Aberdeen Comment. . A hot fight has been going on for the past month in Clallam and Jefferson counties over the state senator as well as the three members of the legislature from those counties, which fight has more or less involved the United States senatorship which is to be filled by the next state legislature. It seems that only the Wilson and Ankney interests were represented in the fight and that no matter which way it went Preston was not to have a single vote in those counties. The Wilson men were supporting Senator Clapp for renomination and inturn Senator Clapp was supporting the Wilson men for the lower house nominations. According to the latest dispatches from that section, the Wilson men have whipped out, and The Little Wizard will get three or four more votes than he had counted on from the northwest. Clapp will be renominated hands down and Carrigan and his friends will be nominated for the lower house, which means their election almost to an absolute certainty. It is learned from the Wenatchee Advance that: "Congressman Jones favors the renomination of Mr. Cushman; at least he is so quoted in the Yakima Republican, in which a long interview is published. Mr. Jones did not express himself on the railroad commission question." The friends of Mr. Cushman want Mr. Jones to understand that there is nothing short about him (Cushman) except his hair, and that's growing, and if he (Jones) favors the renomination of Cushman, he (Cushman) heartily returns the compliment and will endeavor to do just as much for Jones, if not more than Jones will do for him. As far as Cheahls county is concerned, we see no great need of a commission. The county has but one railway company, but that company is spending a large maount of money in the county, extending its road. By request of the Harbor people, the railway company has just put on an extra daily passenger train, and in other ways has shown a disposition to treat its patrons fairly. There is a large amount of lumber shipped East from this county, and the lumbermen of the state take up with the railroads the question of equitable freight rates. A commission appointed by Governor McBride, in vainly endeavoring to harass the railroads about cheapening the freight tariff, for east-side wheat raisers might injure the business of those who ship lumber to eastern points, to where they must have reasonable through freight rates to compete with lumber from the south. A state commission would have nothing to do with through freight rates.—Cosmopolis Enterprise. Spokane county has expressed itself for John L. Wilson for senator not withstanding the fact that the Spokesman-Review threw its great "inflounce fernin" in its usual aggravating and detestable way. Without entering in to a discussion of the issues, Mr. Wilson has done enough for this particular section of Washington to be entitled to respectful consideration of his can didacy at least.—Newport Miner. SPOKANE POLITICS. Continued from 1st page. the followers of the governor and it is not likely to be over until the legislature has run its sixty-day limit. Frank T. Post and C. P. Lund, two ardent advocates of the commission bill, are delegates from Spokane county to the state convention and they will lead in the fight for a plank in the state platform similar to the one which was adopted by the Spokane county convention. It is said that one or the other o the two will attempt to secure a place on the platform committee. How heartily they will be backed by the delegation from this county remains to be seen. Some of those who will go from Spokane are not in favor of a commission and others do not think it wise from a party standpoint to put a commission plank in the platform. Among others whom the convention chose as delegates is Judge M. J. Gordon, formerly on the supreme bench of the state, and now attorney for the Great Northern road. When he was chosen it was not supposed the county convention would instruct its delegates to vote for a commission bill. Judge Gordon is not believed to be very heartily in sympathy with this plank in his county's platform. The Democrats of Spokane county are making a final effort to harmonize the various elements of their party. It was thought that terms of peace would soon be signed on the return of Senator Turner, but so far he has been unsuccessful in inducing a cessation of hostilities. Those Democrats who do not dabble in city politics, but are interested in the success of the ticket in the county and state, declare they hope the party will never again elect a mayor in Spokane, for the result is always demoralizing to the Democracy of the county. Mayor Byrne wants to be a candidate for governor and while he professes to be for Turner for United States senator, as a matter of fact he does not care a straw for Turner. His followers declare that they and the Populist wing of the party have received nothing from Turner and never expect to and that it is foolish for Spokane county to put aside every chance for state honors in order to support Senator Turner, whom they all admit has but a very slim chance to secure a re-election. . . . The Populist party of Spokane county is dead. There will never again be fusion between this and the Democratic party. Two years ago the Democrats captured the name and the Populists captured the game. After the primaries a large number of the old line Democrats found that in many instances they had been defeated for delegates to their own convention by the Populist members. They are now afraid this wing of the party, led by Mayor Byrne, will attempt to again control the county convention. While many of Senator Turner's friends sneer at the idea that the mayor and the Populist members of the party can control the convention, the senator himself has been reminded that two years ago some of his best supports were kept out of the convention by these same Populists and that in the spring convention of the Democratic party Mayor Byrne secured the nomination because he was a Populist and the Democrats of the old school were helpless. The question is, can the Populists again control? Some say no, for Senator Turner is too strong. His personality and influence will strengthen the old line Democrats. On the other hand some of his friends warn him that the Populists have controlled the last two Democratic conventions and they are now additionally strong because of the fact that they have the mayor of the city and his patronage and influence, and because the mayor, when he defeated the Baldwin faction in the organization of the city council, showed himself a shrewd politician. . . . It is for these reasons that Senator Turner is making a final effort to harmonize matters. The mayor's friends claim they are willing to bury the hatchet, but they want to see some concessions made by the Turner-Baldwin-Democratic branch of the party, concessions which will really amount to something and yet not have to give up everything themselves. It is almost certain that there will be four tickets in the field in Spokane county this fall. In addition to the Republican and Democratic there will be the Prohibitionist and it is expected a Socialist. If each of these two parties names a ticket for all the county offices as they say they will do, it will be about a stand off as far as the general effect will be on the other two parties. The Prohibitionists will draw their support from the Republicans and the Socialists from the Democrats. And it is probable the vote of these two smaller parties will be not far from the same in this county. . . . In the past week there has been some talk of the Republicans naming an independent legislative ticket in Spokane county. Charles R. Connor is the chief mover in the scheme. The friends of Turner in a round about way have been encouraging Mr. Connor to press the matter, but there is no probability that such a ticket will be named. The only reason offered for the independent movement is the fact that the Republican convention instructed its legislative nominees to vote for John L. Wilson. In the recent campaign prior to the county Republican convention considerable money was spent on both sides in their efforts to secure control of the county. On the one side Col. Ridpath spent $2200 and Mr. Ankeny contributed $2500. On the other side about $3500 was used. It costs something to be popular in Spokane.

CO. 1214 SECOND AVE. 7 First Avenu --- SEATTLE SPIRIT "A stranger in a strange land," can be aptly applied to Watson C. Squire, who arrived in this city a few days ago. At one time no man was better known in this city and state than Mr. Squire, for he represented it for a number of years in the United States senate and during that time he was the center of attraction at most every prominent political gathering held by the Republicans. He chose to leave the Republican party in 1896 and chase after false gods, and his former political associates at once chose to leave him, and since that time whenever he returned to the city he was more or less shunned by them. While shaking hands with a number of friends on the streets the other day, some newcomer wanted to know: "Who is the tenderfoot that the fellows are shaking hads with?" Thereupon he was informed that it was ex-Senator Watson C. Squire, and having heard a great deal about him he felt somewhat chagrine, over his own question. Mr. Squire must feel lonesome as he passes up and down the streets, wholly unobserved and unnoticed by men who formerly crutched and bowed to him at every turn and corner of the streets, as well as by those who but slightly knew of him. The Germans held quite a Sangerfest in this city last Sunday and Monday, which was widely attended. It is reported that Col. Edson is a German and whether he is or is not he always makes himself conspicuous with Germans and in fact with most any people who parade the streets regardless of what the nature of the parade may be. Col. Edson as usual was the most conspicuous figure among the German paraders and took occasion to prance up and down the line of procession like a mustang pony in an ant nest evidently with the determined intention that notwithstanding there were a thousand or more in the parade nobody was to be seen except Col. Edson. Just where old man Newell acquired title of "major" is not specifically known and it would puzzle the old man himself perhaps to explain it, but he has it and as all military titles give the proud possessors thereof a limited amount of privilege to "lord it" over ordinary humanity, and, Major Newell being no exception to the rule, wants it distinctly understood that he is not one of those who will not take advantage of an opportunity. He, having a delicacy of exercising his military power and authority on men and women naturally turns his attention to little orphan boys where less resistance would be offered, and when he feels his military oats he swells all up with impromptu importance and as a result some little fellow is at once thrown into chains. Oh, yes, it is quite barberous, but the strong arm of the military power must be felt by somebody, and wherein could be found more fitting subjects than orphan boys and girls on which to operate? For such inhuman acts the public would be justified in administering a splendid coat of tar and feathers to the "major," and perhaps he could then show off his military exploits much more advantageously. Tom Church, the well-known journalist and Democratic leader, has developed into a most excellent "chef," and now the Times stands a good show of losing a most valuable employee. By some hook or crook Tom learned the art of making clam chowder to perfection and having given the press gang a sample of it on its recent Sunday excursion and each of them pronouncing it a culinary art that could hardly be surpassed, he is now seriously thinking of getting a three-week lay-off and opening up a chowder stand for the Elks' Carnival. Tom is a brick when he undertakes a thing and if he opens a clam chowder stand during the Elks' Carnival you can bet your bottom dollar that he will be a bloated bond holder before the Carnival closes. However, the next time the press gang goes on an excursion, it intends to take home a-pathic broth ready prepared in preference to Tom's chowder Like the lonely cabin near Sawyer Lake, which was stormed by a Sheriff Cudihee's picked posse, was a lodging house in which but a single inhabitant resided, surrounded by the sheriff and his posse and charged by them one day last week, only to find that it contained a helpless cripple unable even to move out of the chair in which he was sitting when he saw the daring knights rushing towards him with drawn guns and swords in their hands. He may have looked like Tracy before the posse made its rush, but it is surmised that he looked like Hades at its approach. Quite a number of amusing incidents have transpired during the Tracy fascio, but of all this seems to be the most laughable. If the Sheriff keeps up this persistency somebody is going to be captured or killed as Tracy before he retires from office. Senator Squire Here. Edson a German Too. It's Colonel Newell. Church's Clam Chowder Posse Charged a Cripple. Paper Still Flourishing. Nine years ago and then some when The Seattle Republican made its first appearance on the streets of this city it was predicted that the paper would only live through the approaching campaign. It, however, not only lived through that campaign, but it has lived through many others and its lease of life seems in no way nearing an end. Don't give it away, but, on the square, The Seattle Republican gives employment to more union help and more help otherwise than any other weekly paper published in King county with the bare exception, perhaps, of The Trade Register. The Seattle man who will knock as good a weekly paper as is The Seattle Republican would knock Seattle's progress at any point or place he could get an opportunity providing he could get a 'two-out' piece for the dirty work. Dirty Nigger Barber. A well-known Afro-American of Portland, Oregon, dropped into a barber shop down on Yesler way and Railroad last Saturday which is patronized almost exclusively by Caucasian hoobes, but is conducted by what can be rightfully termed, "a dirty nigger barber," or he is one of those Negroes, who boast of serving "white" folk only, and when asked for a shave he was contemptuously informed: "We don't shave cullud pussions in here." The insult was enjoyed by a dozen or more of the usual hobo loungers of the shop while the stranger was deeply chagrined and humiliated. Thus will one Negro in order to show off before persons of a different nationality, seek to hurt the feelings of another negra and without cause or provocation. The Negro's fight for equal rights at the hands of the whites meets a sorry treatment at the hands of the Negro himself. This self same Al Thomas was once arrested and compelled to pay out in the neighborhood of $150 for a similar treatment on his part of a colored man, who came down from Franklin and asked for a shave, and sooner or later he will get it even worse than that. A Nigger Chased Her. Clyde Scott Chase came to the front last Saturday with a short Uncle Bill—Mars' Perry Negro story, which, it must be admitted, was rather cleverly written, but after reading the same and getting the full force and effect of the jargon, which so cleverly imitates the old plantation Negro of a half a century ago, one is curious to know where Clyde Scott Chase learned all this darky talk from. An Iowa man once told the writer a story, which may help out on this speculative proposition. A grocer kept a country store, which was patronized by the community in general. Among his customers was a whife (?) boy, who was very dark in complexion. The grocer's natural curiosity got the better of him and he finally ventured to ask the boy why he was so dark. "Well," said the boy, "before I was born a nigger chased my mother." The grocer studied over the answer for a second and then he suddenly blurted out in his own peculiar way, "Yes, by George, and I think he caught her, too." Woman's Hotel Experience. Here is a story that is laughable enough to make even the woman's husband smile if he perchances to see it. Over in Tacoma not many nights ago a Seattle man accompanied by a handsome woman registered for the night and at once retired to their room. The clerk noticed an unusual amount of devotion for each other and much more by far than is common of a man and his wife but he mentally solloquized. "Some more of that darned Seattle spirit, I guess." Sudden sickness later in the night forced the fair companion to seek the ladies" "boudou," and in leaving her room she forgot to notice the number thereof, and wander about the hotel as she would or may she was unable to locate her room, when she wished to return, and, strange to say, she did not even know her own name. In despair she went to the ladies' parlor and there waited for developments. She had in the meantime called to her assistance a rather philosophical colored porter and confided in him, but he, not being on duty when her "husband" registered, could not help her out of her dilemma. Pretty soon, however, the man thinking she was staying an unusually long time come down in quest of her well. After letting go a sickly smile and slipping a half dollar in the ebony-hued night man's hand, he asked. "Have you seen a woman about the hotel trying to find her husband's room?" With a roll of his white eyes and a grin characteristic of his race, which spoke volumes, he replied: "Well, dares a lady in de pallah who don' know her own name an' I 'spects she's de one uses lookin' for." And it was. That lady knows her name very distinctly in Seattle, but arriving in Tacoma at night she evidently got turned around to such an extent as to not even know her own name when she got up at night and that accounts for her hotel troubles on that occasion. Will Tracy Divy Up. The following note, which was picked up on the streets one day this week, shows to what extent the Tracy flasco has injured the political oppor tunities of some aspiring politicians in this city. It reads as follows: My Dear Tracy; When these lines come to hand I hope they will find you well and doing well, as they leave me well and doing well in body, but sick at heart. I write you these few lines to inform you that you have somewhat upset my plans for the next two years by knocking me out of holding an office, which I had tully expected to do during that time, if you had not come this way. Now, my dear Tracy, I think you should remember me when you strike it rich and send me a few dollars to compensate me for my loss on account of not capturing you. I know you have some compassion and sympathy for a man who has lost his all by staking you and I therefore think you will certainly compensate me for the amount which I sustained by permitting you to escape. Notwithstanding the tact that a hundred or more deputy sheriffs were around you at times and I myself might have shot you, I considered you a brave man and I thought it too bad to kill a brave man, and I therefore permitted you to escape unhurt, believing you would sooner or later strike it rich and divy with me. When you go away don't forget that I am certainly in need of assistance. Was Nothing New. Last Friday evening the 13th annual ball of the Seattle Tennis Club held forth as usual in the Denny Hotel on the hill, and a great time it was among the "400." The roster of invited guests, however, showed nothing new under the sun, and the newspaper that published the same a year ago would have made no great mistake if it had kept the type of the visitors to the previous ball standing and printed it for this one. Evidently there is in Seattle a very weak "400" list and they are forced to visit everything that "sawcity" gives in order to make up the full quota of guests present. An Anarchist Mob. The action of the labor unions in the boycotting of the Neagle sisters' restaurant is more than criminal and the town or community that will permit such practices as the strikers are imposing on the proprietors of that restaurant and those who patronize it is but officially aiding and abetting criminals no less vicious and dangerous to the community than Harry Tracy himself. Those people have the right to employ the kind of help they like best and no click or cian of scoundrels have any right to organize to prevent them from doing so. The wheeps who parade in front of that restaurant every day are worthless apologies for human beings who spend their off hours in gambling houses and beer halls where only the vicious congregate. The officials of this city and county will not exercise their authority and protect those restaurant proprietors for fear they or their party will lose a few votes and thus are crime and criminals allowed to go unpunished. Such anarchists should be shot down like so many wild beasts. SPOKANE SPORTS. OLLIE WILLIAMS. The above is a good likeness of "a good fellow," a friend to everybody and "everybody's friend," and is commonly called the Negro "Doc Brown" of Spokane. It is reported that Harry Green and Harry Bauer have promised to turn the Second ward over to the Republicans if they have not consulted Ollie they have counted without their most formidable opponent, as the present mayor concedes that without Ollie's and E. H. Holmes' support he could not have won out, favorable conditions to the contrary notwithstanding. BURR WILLIAMS. The subject of this sketch, was born in Martin's Ferry, Ohio, Aug. 8, 1877, the son of a prominent Methodist minister of that place.

These magicians are past masters in the art of now-youseit-now-you don't. The famous basket trick is one of their illusions that never fails to mystify. It is hundreds of years old, but still good. A young boy is placed in a basket which is securely wound with ropes. Knives are thrust through the basket which seem certain to pierce his body. His cries and moans indicate that this has happened. When the ropes are removed, however, the basket is found to be empty and the boy comes running forward from the audience. Just how he gets out of the basket and mingles with the crowd unseen is a problem that keeps people guessing. The context for cueing of the Illus land, Oregon, after stopping for a while in Colorado and Montana. In Oregon as in the East Mr. Williams jumped into popular favor, being elected president of the Arcadia Club, an honor which he still retains. Mr. Williams is also grand secretary of the F. O. H., the largest body of "Hawks" on the Pacific Coast. Mr. Williams has now associated himself with C. A. Hughes and they are preparing to open the Iroquois Club, a resort for gentlemen and "gentlemen only." Their place will be found on Washington street between Main and Front streets, near the Great Northern and O. R. & N. depots. To say that they will have a large patronage is simply making a prediction that the future will verify. As both are well known men on this coast, numbering their friends by the score, Spokane welcomes them, and in their advent to the city have gained two worthy citizens. CORNELIUS ANDERSON HUGHES Born at Charlottesville, Va., Sept. 14, 1861. Educated in the schools of the University of Virginia. At the age of 18 went to Europe, where he remained for three years, during which time he visited the capitals of all the European countries. He returned to this country in 1881 and up to the past three years has made California his home. Public and private records show that he filled many creditable places of trust while in that state, notably among which was collector and clearing house clerk of the California National Bank, as deputy collector of internal revenue, and as a messenger and stenographer in the customs service. In politics he has been a consistent Democrat for many years, and the two latter positions were appointments under the Cleveland regime. A clipping from the Oregonian of Portland gives him a splendid write up as a public speaker at the time of the opening of the Democratic campaign there two years ago, when Hon. Geo. Chamberlain, now governor of Oregon, was making his fight for district attorney of that city, and letters in his possession from that gentleman speak in the most flattering terms of the assistance rendered the Democrats on that occasion. Mr. Hughes has fallen in love with Spokane to such an extent that he has decided to remain and enter the business field of this city. He is the president of the newly incorporated Iroquois Club, and although it is his first venture in that line we bespeak for him a continuation of the success that seems to have followed him through life. Surely if gentlemanly qualities and many bearing be elements that lead to success in life, there should be no doubt of the result of his latest enterprise. In this connection it may not be out of place to say that Mr. Hughes is a member of the Masonic Lodge and grand lecturer of the F. O. H., as well as president of the Grand Lodge. Pointed Paragraphs Extensive as well as expensive preparations are being made for the Elk's Carnival, and if Seattle does not overshadow every previous attempt along this line we miss our guess. The present summer's building rec- carnival will close on Saturday night at 12 o'clock. At the present time the rivalry is close between Miss Lizzie Newman and Miss Florence Walker, who lead the candidates, with Miss Ella Steiner a good third. It is anticipated that as usual in such contests, a large number of votes will be cast on the last day, and one of the minor candidates may come to the front. The buildings for the carnival are rapidly progressing, and will be easily completed by the opening on August 18. Great interest is taken in the affair throughout the Northwest, and as the railroads have made extremely low rates an enormous attendance is expected. The carnival and the show attractions with it will be upon a scale exceeding anything of a similar nature ever undertaken on the Coast before. ord in Seattle will doubtless surpass anything on record in the history of the country. S. r. Clapp is it in Ciallam and Jefferson counties, a hard fought pouncil battle to the contrary notwithstanding. There are but three colored men working in the mines at Newcastle at present. But a few years ago not less than 300 were daily employed at the same place. The press gang had a great outing last Sunday. The pencil pushers always get there when they try. Hon. Ira Bronson leit for Dawson city last Wednesday to be absent some three weeks or more. With Lamping as gas bag and Norris bennett as mascot Company D is the center of attraction at Camp Weisenberger. Frank H. Brownell is making a sorry congressional showing in the "northeast." It is said that a determined effort will be made to defeat W. H. Lewis from being re-elected to the legislature to which The Seattle Republican says amen, and here goes. The "Jim Crow" Negro: in a semen preached recently at Macon, Ga., the Rev. W. W. Lucas, a Negro minister, said: "I have decided that the only way to get rid of the Jim Crow car is to get rid of the Jim Crow Negro. If I could use 200,000 bars of soap on the unwashed Negroes that travel on trains and hang around depots I would solve the Negro problem about twenty per cent. Lazy, ragged, bareteet fellows longing for silver slippers and long white robes and counting themselves worthy; neglecting to provide a home for their families on earth, and yet claiming a house not made with their hands in God's heaven! The white man is trying to make this earth blossom as a rose, and the Negro is getting ready to die. The white man is organizing business enterprises and the Negroes organizing societies to turn out at their funerals. Now I object to a $100 funeral for a fifty-cent Negro. The Negro eats up and dresses away all he makes. One square meal on Sunday sweeps away all the wages of the week. He reminds me of the mule which ate the shipping tag from his leg. An old Negro exclaimed: "Gee, dat mule dun eat up his wharhe's-gwine!" That's what the Negro does; he eats up his living." An Excellent Lesson. There is more practical sense in the above short excerpt than many are willing to admit. The lessons taught herein are such that every person of color should benefit therefrom. Every sentence contains a truth that should be a valuable lesson to every member of the colored race. Some of the sentences are, it must be admitted, rather uncouth, or, in other words, roughly put, but they are, nevertheless, truthfully put and when the majority of the members of the colored race will have carefully considered and obeyed the various mandates found therein the entire race will be bettered a hundred times over to what it now is. The truth always hurts and-to many colored persons reading this article it will probably hurt, but nevertheless, it is general as well as specifically true, and while it hurts it is his or her duty to be benefited therefrom and to struggle to be guided by its teachings from time to time and impart the same to the younger generation.
