Charles H. Burnett. JUDGE R. A. BALLANGER. If the public life of any man is an open book, then the life of Judge Ballinger is a most brilliant illustration. No one doubts but that he is the soul of honor and integrity, and if elected mayor of this city he will be mayor in fee semple, and will brook no interference on the part of any clique or faction, party or partisans, individual or corporation. Judge Ballinger settled in Port Townsend, this state, in 1880, where he resided for seven years, during which time he served four years as superior judge. He moved to Seattle in 1897, and since that time has confined himself strictly to the practice of law and it is said without fear of successful contradiction, that his law firm is one of the leading ones of this county and state. He is an Iowan, was born July 9th, 1858, and was educated in Williams College, Massachusetts. COMPTROLLER JOHN RIPLINGER. Seattle boasts of no stronger, nor more popular public official than John Riplinger, the present city comptroller, and likewise nominee of his party for re-election next Tuesday. Two years ago Replinger led his ticket, and it is predicted that he will repeat the act this year, and with an increased majority. Not that he is in any sense more deserving than the other nominees on the ticket, but because he is a genial gentleman, and his genialness follows him even to his official duties. Had he asked for the nomination of mayor, there is no doubt but that he would have been unanimously nominated just as was Judge Ballinger, and just as he was for the nomination he actually sought. In one way or another he has been in the public eye of this city and county for the past ten years, first as an employee under County Treasurer Byron Phelps, and secondly in municipal affairs. He was born October 12th, 1864, in Hastings, Minnesota, where he spent his boyhood, as well as his early manhood days. He learned the printer's trade, and subsequently became the proprietor of a daily paper in his native town which was a brilliant financial success. In 1889, owing to ill health, he came to the Coast, and located in Skagit county, but subsequently moved to Seattle, where he has resided ever since. CORPORATION COUNSEL MITCHELL GILLIAM. Though born on an Oregon farm, it was so close to the state of Washington, that it may be said of Mitchell Gilliam that he is a native son. The farm on which he was born is but a short distance SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1904 from Walla Walla, and, therefore, he claims that city as his home. He is a graduate of the public schools of that county, of the Whitman Seminary, and, subsequently, of the Pacific University at Forest Grove, Oregon. He maintained himself in school by working as a farm-hand during the harvest season, and after he had completed his education he began the study of law in the office of the late John B. Allen. He moved to Yakima in 1883 and associated himself with Edward Whitson. He was admitted to practice by Justice Hoyt in 1884, and two wears later moved to Ellensburg. Believing that Seattle offered a wider field for him, he located here in 1890, and since that time has been conspicuous in the legal as well as political affairs of this city. He will be forty-five years old April 1st, and is a candidate for re-election to the office of corporation counsel of this city, having already served for the past two years in that capacity with marked ability. SAMUEL F. RATHBUN. In naming Samuel F. Rathbun for city treasurer, the late Republican convention selected one of the most praiseworthy as well as reliable middle-aged business men for the honor. He is a New Yorker by birth, a banker by profession, and an all-round business man on general principles. He has been a resident of Seattle for the past fifteen years and, during all that time, has been quite conspicuous in public affairs, and yet naught detrimental can be said against him in any of his business transactions. Four years ago he was elected city treasurer, and for two years filled the office to the complete satisfaction of his constituents. In the late primary fight he was so generally popular all over the city that after two weeks' hard fighting on the part of his opponent, only 50 out of 300 votes were really against him. DAVID W. BOWEN. There is no desire on the part of the Seattle Republican to only dwell upon the good qualities of the Republican candidates, but be it said to the honor of the late convention, it did select one of the best tickets ever named by any convention in this city, and amongst the many good men named by it, none stand higher or better than David W. Bowen, who was named for councilman-at-large. He is no stranger to the general public, and stands high in the councils of his party. He is THE NEW YORK TIMES David W. Bowen. an Ohian by birth, and a graduate of Mt. Vernon College of that state. He has been a resident of Seattle since 1889, and has held various Republican offices from time to time. The popularity of the man was fully shown in his vote before the convention when there were at least a baker's dozen other prominent Republicans named against him, all of whom he lead by great odds. CHARLES H. BURNETT. CHARLES H. BURNETT. In this country it seldom ever happens that a real native son is nominated for any kind of office, but in Charles H. Burnett Seattle is favored with an opportunity to vote for a genuine Seattle native son, and if elected will be the first to hold such a position. He, like Mr. Bowen, is a candidate for councilman-at-large, and represents what is known in this city as the "young Republicans." Mr. Burnett is a graduate of the Bishop Scott Academy at Portland, and is engaged in the real estate business at the present time. His parents came to this city in the early sixties, and after spending many years here, his father moved to Pierce county, having in the meantime located what is now known as the "Burnett Mines, which property he is now working. Charley Burnett is well and generally liked and will prove to be as politically popular as his running mate. --- It would be a difficult matter for any party to name a more popular man for an office than William Holt, who was nominated by the late convention for councilman from the First ward. Mr. Holt is the proprietor of the Grand Central hotel, and as such he has found it an easy matter to actively engage in political campaigns which has made him a conspicuous Republican of that ward. A week prior to the convention the nomination for councilman from that ward was practically conceded to Fred W. Comstock, but Mr. Holt had a "holt" on the politicians of the ward, and interposed an objection and made good. He showed up so strong in the primaries that he forced recognition among the "powers that be," and was, therefore, given what he had so meritoriously won, Mr. Holt was born in Toledo, Ohio, December 5, 1862. His Democratic opponent may be strong, but he is no stronger than Mr. Holt, and will win by a most decisive vote next Tuesday. --- --- PRICE FIVE CENTS WILLIAM HOLT.

The late convention saw fit to re-nominate two of the present city councilmen, and one of them was Hiram C. Gill of the Third ward. Six years ago Mr. Gill was nominated and elected city councilman from the Third ward, four years ago he was nominated but defeated, two years ago, he was nominated and elected, and now is a candidate to succeed himself. No member of the city council has been more severely criticised, as well as commended for his actions in the council than Mr. Gill. It has been claimed that he is erratic, and especially by the Democratic papers, but he always seemed to get on that side of the question in the public mind that met the general appreciation of the people, hence his unanimous re-nomination, an honor that was accorded to no other member of the city council. He is a lawyer by profession, was born in Wisconsin, is thirty-seven years of age, and has been a resident of Seattle since 1889. HON. IRVING T. COLE. When Irving T. Cole defeated James A. James of the Fourth ward for city councilman, it was apparent on its very face that he was an exceedingly popular man, and is deserving of more than a mere passing consideration. His quiet demeanor, his public uprightness, and has conscientiousness of duty which have been manifest from time to time since he has been in the public eye, all go to make him a very popular public official, and it is predicted that he will be elected by the largest majority that any Republican has ever received in that ward.

Morbid curiosity only prompted 3,000 persons to jam the docks trying to see the steamer “Queen,” which has made 505 voyages to the port of Seattle without attracting even a passing consideration from those selfsame crazies. oe e Nineteen Republicans have spoken, and 59,000 others must bow their heads in obedience. This is in substance the results of the action of the late Republican Central committee, which was in session in this city last Saturday. That commit- tee declared that the Republicans of this state desired one convention when in fact they had not consulted a single Republican as to whether he did or did not, but they had only consulted George Stevenson, who is a blatant mouthed Democrat. se That March “came in like a lion,” and that, too, with its tail having received a double twist, was quite apparent to the people on Puget Sound last Tuesday, when they met at each corner a howl- ing wind accompanied with drifting snow, some- thing quite unusual to this climate. ee Last Sunday’s Seattle “Times” suffered more severely from the windstorms than other dailies, simply because it was made up of lighter mate- rials than the others., In other words, there were no black-face editorials therein, to act as weights, hence the lightness of the paper, and subsequently it’s being blewn to pieces by the raging winds of that morning. se 8 An isolated congressional Ohio district, with two. delegates to the national convention, has endorsed that prince of yellow journalism question- able morals, for the Democratic presidential nom- ination, and if it doesn’t bring about.a premature birth of editorial twins from “Kurnel Times” the community will be surprised, s 2 8 Captain Cousins, of the “Queen,” seems to have entertained a different regard for human life than did Captain Roberts of the “Clallam,” but then Cousins did not own the “Queen,” and Roberts did own the “Clallam,” and the latter perhaps rea- sioned to himself that it “makes all the difference whose bull is gored.” s 28 He or she who tries to keep posted on the state of the Oriental war must have time “to burn,” for the news of each day brings nothing new fur- ther than greater preparations are being made. se @ Evidently the “Columbian” of Vancouver, is not a strong advocate of McBridom in this state, for it says: “Clark county will get recognition if she will send a delegation to the state convention untrammeled by the yoke of Governor McBride.” Perhaps she will and perhaps she will not. Clark county might be in equally as bad condition if she sends a delegation to the state convention under the yoke of George Stevenson. the Deino- crat, who is trying to boss the Republican poli- tics of this state. ves Speaking about George Stevenson and his af- filiation with the Republican officials, the follow- ing from the Colton “News-Letter” is quite ap- propos, and Republicans would do well to give it a little consideration: “It is a spectacle to make men and angels weep to see George Stevenson, a Democrat, dictate the policies of the Republican party of this state. To such ends has railroad domination led the party of Abraham Lincoln.” Wilmon Tucker, Democratic nominee for mayor, demurs to the allegation of the Seattle Republican in that Judge Ballinger will defeat him by a ma- jority of 4,000 at the polls next Tuesday. The demur is well taken and The Republican modifies its motion by adding: Mr. Tucker will now be de- feated by over 4,000, for he is considerably weaker at this writing than he was a week ago, eee One Thomas D. Lother of Chicago, who has earned a vast fortune in that city, has recently returned every cent of it back to the city. That is to say, he has set apart $300,000 to he distrib- uted among Chicago institutions and worthy in- dividuais, adding, he had made his money in that city and as he would soon be no more, he pro- posed the people of that city to get the entire benefit of his savings. Rockefeller and Carnegie in the gifts of their millions have done nothing more meritorious than this. sts The United States government has expended millions of dollars trying to make Portland an ocean port of entrance, but, owing to the gigantic sand-bar at the mouth of the Columbia river, ev- ery cent expended in that direction has been ab- solutely thrown away. This explains why the gov- ernment officials are not only annoyed, but abso- lutely unkind toward Oregon’s representatives in congress for trying to urge more appropriations for that Columbia river rat-hole. ee * The Puyallup “Tribune” gravely remarks: “The pioneers are passing away.” Certainly they are passing away; you don’t expect them to live al- ways do you? The men and women, who came to this country fifty-two years ago, are certainly in ‘a “passing away” condition by this time, and could not do otherwise even if they wanted to. POLITICAL POT=PIE As was expected, George Stevenson had cor- ralled a sufficient number of the members of the Republican Central committee to force the one- convention idea on the Republicans of this state. The committee met last Saturday, and after a run- ning discussion lasting for over an hour, finally decided to hold but one convention by a vote of nineteen to sixteen, fixing the date May 11th, and the place at Tacoma. The action of the men:hers ef the committee present was by no means the voice of the actual committeeman throughout the state, as not fifteen per cent of the actual mem- bers were present at the meeting, but were repre- sented by prexies, most of whom came from dif- ferent counties than the one they held proxies to represent. Nothing but regrets have been heard on the street by the Pie-maker, ever since the committee adjourned, at its action. It’s a mistake, and will cause the Republicans to lose many hundreds of votes, is the concensus of opinion among the politicians and business men of Seattle. +9 8 It means, or is intended to mean, as has been previously pointed out in the Seattle Republican, the defeat of King county in state politics. It is intended to mean first, the defeat of Will E. Humphrey of returning to congress, and, second- ly, the defeat of King county’s hopes to elect a United States senator. The political frame-up, of which the actions of the Central committee last Saturday was the beginning of the program that is to be carried out in this state for the next twelve menths, proposes to wipe King county completely off the political map and that, too, despite the fact that she will have 114 delegates in the next state convention. Jn the next state convention King county will have twice as many delegates as Pierce county, and one-sixth of all the delegates in the convention, and notwith- standing this fact, owing to the political chican- ery that is being played by certain Democratic politicians of this state she is to be made the “stalking horse” of the worn-out politicians, of Ben Grosscup, the Northern Pacific nightmare, and George Stevenson, the O. R. & N. razzle- dazzler. .€ A rather laughable story is being told at the expense of George U. Piper, the wellknown Fourth ward politician, and erstwhile political boss or King county. In casting about for a candidate td shattered political forces, he (Piper) picked up Irving T. Cole, so goes the story, and pitted him for councilman against James, believing that it would be utterly impossible for him to defeat Mr. James, and, if Mr. Cole failed to defeat him he would be politically dead in the ward, and thereby be out of the race for the nomination of the rep- resentative from that district, and yet James would not have been injured, and thus leave clear sailing for Piper himself to be nominated for representative, and of course be elected, which would be a complete vindication of himself for having been defeated in that district two years ago for state senator. Mr. Cole proved to he a stronger candidate than Mr. Piper had figured on, and actually defeated Mr. James, and Piper in the coming fight, will have to account to James and his friends for not carrying out a program that they agreed upon-make a bluff at defeating James with Cole, but at the last moment kill Cole! That Mr, Piper is a candidate for nomina- tion of representative from that district, goes without saying, and he will make the fight of his life to secure that nomination at the hands of the next county convention. eee Speaking about the nomination for representa- tive from the 44th legislative district, which, by the way, includes the Fourth ward, a new Rich- mond has been mentioned in that connection, and he is none other than Thomas S. Lippy, the Klon- dike millionaire. There seems to be a sponta- neous uprising among both the friends of I. T. Cole, and many of the former followers of James A. James, to prevail upon Mr. Lippy to allow his name to be used in that connection. What he will say when the matter has been laid before him is problematical, but those who are talking him most believe that he will not refuse. Few men in the city are more heavily interested in its welfare than Tom Lippy, and inasmuch as there is to be a United States senator elected by the next legislature, it seems that he would ac- cept such a responsibility, if for no other reason than that a senator is to be elected, and that he will be in a position to use his best efforts in seeing that a King county man is elected. see It is now generally conceded throughout the state that McBride is sure to be defeated in the next Republican. convention. Politicians every- where predict his defeat and even his friends and henchmen of Skagit county concede it. That M¢- Bride is seeking some kind of an alliance with the Democratic party in the event of his defeat, is corroborated by prominent politicians throughout the state. For Skagit county alone of all the the counties in the state to send a delegation for McBride to the Republican state convention would be a mon- umental blunder from the effects of which she could not hope to recover for years to come. As long as McBride is a dead issue in the state, why should he be anything else than a dead issue in Skagit county?—Mount Vernon Argus. se @ Are the Snohomish Republicans going to follow the foolish example of the King county Republic- ans for the past few years, and split up the party on the rock of contention? If any one was to be lieve the reports that come from the warring fac- tions in Everett, they would have to believe such to be the case. The Republican party in Snohom- ish county has a healthy majority and Everett can give the ticket a strong vote, but if the fifht is carried on there, that is reported to be waging between the Brownell and Nichols fac- tions, both parties are very lable to miss the goal. There will have to be some yielding on both sides for surely if they do not, Snohomish will stand a poor chance of getting anything at the state cunvention. It is not the lack of good advice from the outside nor from tne good intentions of the leaders themselves at home, that the war is not ended. Neither Mr. Nichols or Mr. Brownell have any desire for a scrap. Each is willing that the In the person of Scott Benjamin, a Washington native son, has been nominated for councilman of the Fifth ward. He was born on a farm near Spokane, is forty-four years of age, and has been a resident of Seattle for the past twelve years. He is one of Seattle's prominent as well as successful business men, having been engaged in the livery business ever since he has been here. Four years ago he was nominated and elected councilman, two years ago he was defeated for the nomination, but in the late primary and convention he was unanimously chosen by his party for councilman from the ward in which he has resided for the past twelve years. He has always shown himself. to be a "true blue" Republican, and when defeated he worked just as hard for the success of the ticket as when he himself was nominated. It is not a fact that Arnold Zbinden was nominated for councilman of the Sixth ward because he was especially championed by the liquor dealers of either this city or that immediate community, but because he has been a consistent Republican ever since he has been a resident of this city. That he is interested in the saloon business neither he nor his friends deny, nor have they any appologies to make therefor, but if elected he will as carefully guard the interests of the people as any other member of the council. He has no more desire to force the saloon business into the resident parts of the city, then the member from the Eigth or Ninth ward, for he realizes that if that is done, his family, as well as other families, will be the sufferers thereby. No man in the city stands higher in business lines than he, and that he is popular was shown in his defeating his opponents in almost every precinct in the ward. He was born in Switzerland in 1864, came to this country when but a mere boy, and was reared in Nebraska, where he still owns large property interests in the shape of a ranch and live stock.

Between Redward and Griffiths, Parsons was "low man," but the stubbornness of the advocates of the other two candidates made it plain that another would have to be nominated, which resulted in the selection of Mr. Parsons. He comes from the working element of this city, having been employed for a number of years on the Madison street car line as inspector. That has fellow workmen were highly pleased at the prospects of him being nominated for councilman, was shown in their turning out almost in a body to support his primary ticket, which succeeded in his immediate precinct notwithstanding the fact that his opponent lived in the same precinct, and was considered a very strong man. He is forty-three years of age, was born in Monmouth, Illinois, and has been a resident of Seattle since 1889.

Ind. 130 214 COLUMBIA STREET he did not say one word, either in the newspapers, through circulars, or by word of mouth, advocating his re-nomination, yet the results of the primaries showed that he had lost but one convention vote in the whole ward. Dr. Crichton, therefore, without any effort on his own part, has triumphed over his political enemies and put them to flight, and received almost a unanimous re-nomination. It is therefore just and right, from a party standpoint, that he now receive a full party vote, and any Republican who goes to the polls and works against him is not a true partisan, and should be remembered by the Republicans in the future in case they come up for any public favor. Of course there is no danger of Dr. Crichton being defeated, but he having won the convention fairly and squarely should have the support of the Republicans of that ward with as much vim as any other candidate on the ticket. He was born in New York, is 41 years of age, and has been a resident of this city for the past 15 years. In the list of names for councilmen on the present Republican ticket there is one pioneer, W. K. Merwin, of the Ninth ward. He has been a resident of Seattle since 1869, and his birthplace was Belvedere, Illinois. Since he has been in the city he has, for the most part, followed steamboat and railroad engineering, and has worked at his profession, engineering, in many of the sawmills and lumber camps of this county. While he has always been active in local politics he never before aspired to an office, and only consented to the use of his name in this connection after he had been repeatedly importuned by his fellow Republicans of the Ninth ward, of which ward he has been a resident for the past twenty years. Generally speaking he is not well-known among the latter day Republicans of this city, and yet he is exceedingly popular among all classes of voters of the Ninth ward, and, as was said in the Seattle Republican a week ago, he will give Councilman Murphy the political fight of his life to succeed himself.

While he has been active in local politics he never be- sed to an office, and only consented to his name in this connection after he repeatedly importuned by his fellow- sons of the Ninth ward, of which ward is a resident for the past twenty years. Speaking he is not well-known among day Republicans of this city, and yet widely popular among all classes of the Ninth ward, and, as was said in Republican a week ago, he will give a Murphy the political fight of his life himself.

Years ago this college was founded in the heart of the state of Kentucky, and its founder declared that the cardinal principle of the institution was, “no color line shall ever be drawn:” That is to say, white and colored children would be educated side by side, and that, too, notwithstanding the fact that the school was in Kentucky—a semi-slave state. The school has stood for almost half a century, if not longer, and has gone along smoothly ever since its inception, but the present legislature of that state has attacked it and if the senate fol- lows out the vote of the house of representatives, the school will soon be no more. The house of represent- atives has just passed a bill by a vote of 73 to 5 declaring that it shall be illegal for white and colored children to be educated in the same institu- tion; and the president of the school declares that he will never permit the color-line to be drawn in the in- stitution, and if the senate passes the bill and Governor Beckham refuses to veto it, the doors of the institution will be closed. There are at present 800 white and 150 colored students in the school. It is said on very reliable authority that Berea College has giv- en Kentucky more educated men and women than any other institution within its confines. se & WILBERFORCE IS REMEMBERED. Andrew Carnegie, the philanthrop- ist, has included Wilberforce Univer- sity in his list of donations, and has given that school $15,000 towards the founding of a library for the use of its students. During the past year Mr. Carnegie has been very liberal to- ward the colored folk of this country along educational lines, and they ap- preciate his efforts toward aiding them to a higher plain of citizenship in the highest sense of the word. It will be remembered that he gave the Tuskegee Institute $600,000 last year, and made smaller donations to other schools of learning for the colored folk throughout the United States. DR. CRUM REOMMENDED. The senate committee which was considering the confirmation of Hon. William D. Crum, as collector of cus- toms at the port of Charleston, has reported favorably on the confirma- tion. Twice before has Dr. Crum been before the senate committee for favorable recommendation and fell short of the mark, and for that rea- son the senate in secret session re- fused to confirm him, but the presi- dent believing that he was right, im- Ai ee Ki pis MG le? see erat oe ee is < ly vag meres oro al Temps) wa ee ee ti < rel seer as =| mle, te Soy | et el do é TBE ete el belt bel Dl cis bale loli ie DY ena eld ah a ik chal SS Annual Spring Housefurnishing Sale IS NOW IN PROGRESS SQ, 7 THEM ARCH Te, mF) BOW Play mediately nominated him again for the position, and by this means he has held the office for two years or more, though a part of that time his pay has been held back by the Treas- ury department, on the grounds that he was not regularly holding the posi- tion. See ANOTHER BIG GIFT. Another New York philanthropist, who had the education of the enlered folk of this country much at heart, has recently died in that city, and in his will bequeathed $100,000 to the Hampton Normal and Agricultural In- stitution, which institution is to some extent maintained by the government for the education of Indian and col- ored youths. It will be further re- membered that General Armstrong was the founder of this famous insti- tution, and it will also be remembered that Booker T. Washington, the head of the Tuskegee school, which is at present attracting world-wide atten- tion, was educated there under Gen- eral Armstrong and afterwards fash- ioned his own school directly after the Hampton school. LOCAL LINES The burning of the new Rainier Club house last Wednesday morning was a sad disappointment to the mem- bers of that club, who hoped to be quartered in their new building in the very near future. It carried a $40, 060 insurance and will be rebuilt at once. The burning of the steamer “Queen” and the loss of fourteen lives last Sun- day was but another of the many sad ocean accidents that will be credited to the Pacific coast record for 1904. The “Queen” had made 505 voyages from this port without accident. Hon. David W. Bowen, Republican candidate for councilman-at-large, left for his old home in Ohio last Wednes- day to attend the funeral of his father, He carries with him the heartfelt sym- pathy of his host of friends and ac- quaintances in Seattle. News from Paris reports Hon, John L. Wilson having made a speech there on Washington’s birthday to the American colony. The senator is said to have outdone his own self on that occasion, which is saying a good deal, and his hearers were so well pleased that he has been lionized by the col- ony ever since. Study the charter amendments well before voting for or against. Do not take the other fellow’s word about them, but study them for yourself. W. G. Armstrong, a well-known la- bor leader and Democratic politician, died at Aberdeen, this state, last Mon- day, after an operation for appendici- tis. His remains were brought to this city and buried last Thursday under the ausices of the Fraternal Order of Eagles and the Printers’ Union. Game Warden Rief is having his hands full trying to enforce the game laws of the state. Hunting and fish- ing enthusiasts seem to have no re- gard for breaking the game laws than gamblers and bawdy house keepers do the moral laws of the land.
