Seattle Republican

SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. X. NO. 45 POLITICAL POT=PIE Now that the various county conventions are being held and are endorsing their respective favorite sons for the gubernatorial nomination on the Republican side, the question of the hour is, Will Governor McBride receive enough votes to make it possible for him to succeed himself? Ever since he took the oath of office he has been doing missionary work in his own behalf, and is still doing so, and that too despite the dignity that the holding of so high an office is supposed to carry. It has been the custom of former governors who have served their constituents to leave their nomination in the hands of those whom they have served, but Gov. McBride is leaving his to no one, but doing it himself. * * * Now discussing for a moment the prospects of Governor McBride's winning the next gubernatorial nomination: Even though he gets King county, as was predicted in the last issue of The Republican, in order to get the nomination he must necessarily get the greater part of Eastern Washington, and at this writing, that seems almost impossible for him to do. In Eastern Washington Governor McBride will perhaps get the nine votes of Adams county, six of Asotin, ten of Columbia, four of Franklin, seven of Garfield, thirteen of Kititas, seventeen of Lincoln, four of Skamania, twenty-four of Whitman, almost hands down, but will have a fight for the forty-nine votes of Spokane, and for the nineteen votes of Yakima, with the odds in favor of him dividing the Spokane vote and losing the nineteen in Yakima, thus giving him 98 votes in Eastern Washington. In Western Washington he has a show to get seven votes from Mason, ten from Pacific, twenty-one from Skagit, six from Wahkiakum, which will give him ab- M. H. L. R. COLE, Candidate for Justice of the Peace. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 1904 solutely 44 votes in Western Washington, with a strong probability of getting the 115 votes from King, and a fighting show for half of the votes in Pierce county. And even if he received all of Pierce that in addition to what has already been given him, would only give him 300 votes, 28 short of enough to nominate. In this it will be seen that the Governor has been given the largest counties in the state, and the most of the smaller counties, and yet he has only R. R. GEORGE, Candidate for Justice of the Peace. 306. Persons well versed in politics declare it utterly impossible for him to get half of the Pierce county delegation—if any part thereof—and it has been publicly stated on the streets of Seattle, that if any attempt to deliver the King county delegation to Governor McBride is made a rebellion will take place at once, for the understanding of Mr. Piles with the railroads is that the King county votes are to never go to Governor McBride, and yet it seems absolutely certain that that is the intention of the Piles committee. * * * It is believed that Hon. John D. Atkinson, the next strongest gubernatorial aspirant, will control Chelan county, Douglas, Ferry, Okanogan, Stevens, and Klickitat, Yakima and Walla Walla counties giving him 97 votes which he will be able to control and hold for trading purposes. In Western Washington it is believed that Mr. Atkinson will control Clallam, Clark, Cowlitz, Island, Jefferson, Kitsap, Lewis, San Juan, and Snohomish, which, if true, will give him a following that will almost assure his nomination, unless Governor McBride can control the entire vote of King, Pierce and Spokane counties. It will be remembered that Colonel W. M. Ridpath of Spokane county, is also a candidate for governor, and is putting up something of a fight to carry his home PRICE FIVE CENTS county. How much headway he is making it is impossible to state at this time, but it is believed that he will get the endorsement of the county, if for no other reason than because he is a local candidate. It is stated on very good authority that he will get Republic county, or it will be divided between himself and Atkinson, and that he will make some progress in Lincoln, and likewise in Adams and Asotin. He is well thought of in Whitman and Columbia, and in all of these counties, if he but gets a small following, it will weaken the candidacy of Governor McBride, and therefore strengthen the candidacy of Mr. Atkinson as well as Mr. Ridpath. \* \* \* The senatorial and gubernatorial campaigns have so far overshadowed all of the other offices in the state, that not much has been said of the three nominations to be made to the house of representatives in congress. Hon. W. L. Jones will unquestionably be re-nominated, and yet he will have quite a little fight on his hands to defeat W. H. Ludden of Spokane, who has joined issues with Colonel Ridpath, and hopes to carry Spokane in that way. If Mr. Ludden can come to the state convention with Spokane county at his back and with a following from other counties in Eastern Washington, he will loom up as a strong rival to Mr. Jones and perhaps defeat him for the nomination. Western Washington will take no part in that fight, but will doubt give to the one having the greatest number of votes the nomination. In Western Washington Mr. Cushman coming from the southwestern district, will doubtless have no opposition for re-nomination, in fact his re-nomination has been conceded by both Pierce, his home county, and the other counties of the combination. Hon. W. E. Humphrey is supposed to have the hardest fight of any on his hands, inasmuch as Hon. Frank H. Brownell of Snohomish county, who it is believed will be backed by the northwest combination, is making an [Picture of a man with a bald head and a suit jacket.

PAGE, Candidate for Justice of the Peace. active and vigorous campaign. Should he, as in the past, be able to control the north west he will go to the state convention with a very large vote, and as has been previously published in these columns, if Pierce county and the south west should give him their support, it would mean his nomination beyond a question of doubt. However, it is thought that Cushman and Humphrey will work together and Mr. Humphrey's friends, at this writing believe he is certain of re-nomination. There will be no opposition in the convention, so far as now appears on the surface or otherwise, to the unanimous renomination of Hon. Sam. H. Nichols for Secretary of State. He has made a praiseworthy official and is quite deserving of the honor. The fight for State Treasurer seems to be confined to two candidates, the same two as were mentioned by the Republican some weeks ago: Hon. W. M. Shaw of Spokane, and the son of the present State Treasurer Mr. Maynard. If Mr. Shaw hooks up with Gov. McBride in Spokane he will at least give Colonel Ridpath and Mr. Ludden a hard fight for the delegation from that county. Should he succeed in landing the delegation the odds are in his favor and his nomination would be conceded by the politicians all over the state. The fight for State Auditor will be a three-cornered affair, the leading candidates thus far mentioned are C. W. Claussen, Kitsap, J. H. Davis, of Pierce; and H. J. Lipsett, Clallam. While The Republican has no candidate for any office prior to the convention, yet it seems as though Mr. Claussen has the bulge on the other candidates for this nomination, if for no other reason than because he represents a large element of independent voters in this state who are anxious that one of their number be named on the Republican ticket for state honors. Mr. Claussen though born in the United States is distinctly Scandinavian, and there are in the state of Washington * * * * * * * * * some 15,000 Scandinavian votes, and it is believed that, if he is named by the Republicans, he being one of the most influential leaders amongst them, it will be the means of a great majority of them voting the Republican ticket. Mr. Claussen's nomination, therefore, is not only policy but strategic. There are two candidates for State Commissioner in the person of Hon. S. A. Calvert of Whatcom county and E. W. Ross of Cowlitz. This nomination according to custom should go to Mr. Calvert, but owing to the great amount of political trading that will go on in the state convention by the various steering committees, it is impossible to say whether he at this writing stands any show of getting the nomination or not. Mr. Ross is a popular attorney, he at present being a deputy in the office of the Attorney-General and hailing from the southwest, it it barely possible that he will stand a most excellent show of getting the nomination. The second term will doubtless apply to Professor Bryan who seeks the re-nomination of State Superintendent of Schools. There are other candidates, but as they have no particular reasons for being candidates further than that they want the office, the probabilities are that Mr. Bryan will be renominated by acclamation. There are numerous candidates for the office of Lieutenant Governor, and each of them is more or less politically strong in the section from whence he comes. The leading candidates for the nomination seem to be Hon. J. G. Megler of Wahkiakum, M. E. Hay, Lincoln; C. E. Coon, Jefferson, M. E. Field, Okanogan, and a host of other lesser lights, hoping that lightning will strike them, bobbing up here and there. The fight for this nomination will evidently be between Mr. Megler and Mr. Hay. Both of them represent distinct sections of the state and will be numerically strong in the convention as well as candidates on the state ticket. Mr. Megler is popular both with the McBride and the anti-McBride followers, while Mr. Hay, who is secretary of * * * * * * the state central committee, is exceedingly popular in Eastern Washington, and has the friendship in that section at least of the McBrid followers. This nomination will be made not so much on the merits of the man. Because all of the aspirants are honorable men as well as good Republicans, but will be made with a view of strengthening the ticket. If it is thought that Mr. Hay will bring more strength to the ticket than Mr. Megler he will get the nomination. GEORGE N. GILSON "I desire through the columns of the Seattle Republican to announce my candidacy for the office of county clerk, subject to the ratification and endorsement of the next Republican nominating convention, and in taking this step I do so kowing full well that there are already a number of candidates who have announced themselves for the same favor at the hands of the party. If nominated and elected I will endeavor to give ample satisfaction and will conduct the office so as to win the favor of the general public," said George N. Gilson, who has been in the political arena on previous occasions, and whose official success has been admitted by the press. For two years Mr. Gilson served as county commissioner from the First Commissioners' district and prior to that time he served as a member of the city council and in both places he gave general satisfaction—in fact made a most excellent official. Since retiring from public office he has been engaged in the real estate business. He is from the Eighth ward and will probably have some votes from that ward to trade with other candidates therefrom, not excepting George B. Lamping who is a candidate for sheriff. No extensive elaboration as to Mr. Gilson's fitness to hold the office is needed in this connection, because he is already well and favorably known throughout the city and county, and the mere mention of his name is a synonym of public integrity and political uprightness. If the voters of King county should nominate and elect him he will give general satisfaction. If nominated he will make a popular candidate, and if elected he will make an ideal official. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN OFFICE: 1414 SECOND AVENUE Phone Main 305 H. J. LEA. Last but nowise least can be said of the candidacy of H. J. Lea for county clerk. He hails from the Fifth ward and it is highly probably that he will have the solid delegation from there at his back for the nomination. Few men in the city are more popular among the Republicans than he, and as has been said in these columns he will make an interesting fight in the convention. Two years ago he was a candidate for this nomination, and for a time held the balance of power between the two leading candidates, and it is barely possible that Billy Ingliss would have been nominated had not Mr. Lea withdrawn in favor of Mr. Koepfli. Should he win his delegation in the Fifth ward in the manner that he hopes to, and feels absolutely certain that he will do, he will be able to trade left and right for votes for himself for county clerk. Lea is particularly strong in the south district, and he believes that part of the county will give him a very creditable vote irrespective of any trades it may make in the interest of its candidate for sheriff. Then again he is almost certain of getting a big slice of the Ballard delegation, and his country strength coupled with his city strength will make him a rather formidable candidate. He is an active Republican worker and has always been found doing his best to land Republican nominees when the ticket has been selected. "There is no doubt in my mind," said Mr. Lea one day this week, "but htat I will be successful in carrying the Fifth precinct of the Fifth ward, and I have been assured by the leading politicians in the other precincts of the ward that their delegations will be at my disposal on the clerk position. In the Fifth precinct I am lined up with John C. Murphy as against candidate George W. Jeffries, and I believe I will be as successful in defeating him this year as I was in electing him two years ago." Should he be so fortunate as to get the nomination so popular is he among the young Republicans of this county as well as the old warhorses of the party, that it can be safely predicted that he will run ahead of his ticket. The Seattle Republican is thoroughly convinced that he will make a splendid county official and one that would give entire satisfaction to every one having business in the office. R. R. GEORGE In seeking a re-nomination for justice of the peace Judge George invites those from whom he expects to receive the nomination to refer to his work as justice of the peace for the past four years as to whether he will make an acceptable official for the two ensuing years if again elected. "I have nothing to hide or conceal, and if one thing can be found in my official career since I have been justice of the peace that can be pointed to as a blot on my escutcheon then I am not a candidate for the honor. In other words, I unqualifiedly stand on my record as my best recommendation and fitness for the office which I am seeking." Judge George is unquestionably a man deserving of the honor he seeks and has made an excellent official since he has been justice of the peace. Notwithstanding the fact that he was police judge at a time when the town was being run wide open he maintained his official honor and it is generally believed kept his skirts clean from any taint of graft or political pull, and it is hoped that he will be nominated and elected this year. He has the general respect of the bar and has made many friends within the past three years. PETER H. BURGESS GEORGE N. GILSON, Candidate for County Clerk. L. R. COLE. Who seeks the nomination for justice of the peace is one of Seattle's splendid young attorneys and is the quintesence of uprightness and should he be so fortunate as to get the nomination and election not one scintilla of scandal would ever lurke about his official transactions. Those who have had dealings with him in private life agree with The Republican in that he is emidently fair in his dealings with his fellow man and absolutely reliable. He is a New Yorker by birth and has been on the Pacific Coast for fourteen years. He was educated in San Jose, California and is thirty-eight years of age. He has been a resident of Seattle for the past six years and was admitted to the bar since he has been living in this state. "I am a candidate for nomination to the office of justice of the peace on the Republican ticket, subject to the ratification of the next convention and win or lose I will still be an enthusiastic Republican for the success of the ticket, said Mr. Cole to a representative of this paper. THOMAS D. PAGE. Thomas D. Page, who seeks nomination for justice of the peace in Knig County, has been practicing law in this city for the last two years, and during that time has succeeded in building up what is probably the largest individual practice enjoyed by any of the younger attorneys. He was admitted to the bar in June, 1890, in Baltimore, Maryland, but until recently has never practiced. He has enjoyed a large measure of success, and will be remembered in connection with the Halverson personal damage case, one of the most important civil suits ever tried in this county, in which Mr. Page was associated with ex-Prosecuting Attorney Walter S. Fulton on the winning side. Mr. Page has always been an ardent party worker, and his genial manners and magnetic personality have won him a host of friends. His present offices are at 308-309 Oriental Block. SEATTLE SPIRIT During the month of March there were 110 deaths in Seattle as compared with 86 for the same month in 1903. For the month of March there were 143 births as compared with 94 for the corresponding month of 1903. Captain Thomas Phelan, who is yardmaster at Bremerton, was a visitor to the city one day this week, and during his stay he fell in with a group of newspaper men, and talked pleasantly over his war experience during the great civil strife. He was in the Vicksburg campaign, and talks entertainingly about Grant's army crossing the Mississippi at Broonsburg, and the fight that ensued from there to Vicksburg and Jackson. The writer hereof is quite familiar with those localities, and has frequently gone over the battle-ground, which still bear the marks of the fierce battle between Grant and Lee's armies. Among the visitors to the city during the past week was Rev. George W. Prioleau who is chaplain of the Ninth U. S. Cavalry stationed at Walla Walla. His commission gives him the rank of a captain in the army and he is, therefore, the ranking officer of the post, if he cared at any time to exercise his military right. In the United States army there are but two men of color that are chaplains, and but three that bear the rank of captain. Rev. Prioleau has seen extensive service on the frontier, and was with the first troops that landed in Cuba. He was with his company as it scaled San Juan Hill and saw more than half of them left dead on that famous battle-field. On returning to the United States his company was sent to the Philippine Islands where it was on the firing-line for nearly two years. There appeared in the police court one day this week to defend a Chinaman charged with stealing electricity from the Seattle Electric Co., Thomas Jefferson Humes, who, for five years was mayor of Seattle, and prior to that was superior court judge. There was nothing unusual about this for he was doing nothing more or less than other attorneys, but the spectators, who were made up largely of the hobo element, smiled all over their faces, as the man, who had been talked about more than anyone else in Seattle, appeared to defend a client, who at best would not have been fined, had he been found guilty, to exceed $25.00. Hon. R. W. Condon of Port Ludlow was doing the city one day this week and was being shown the sights by his brother, John Condon, dean of the law school in connection with the state university. There seems to be no doubt but that Mr. Condon will represent Kitsap county in the legislature next year. Dr. J. J. Smith, the Enumclaw rancher, erstwhile candidate for governor, was in the city last Wednesday with a view of helping Lew Smith look after his political fences and to incidentally discuss politics with the boys a few hours. The doctor has begun to say a few things and there are those in King county who hate to hear him talk, at least politics. Judge Cann in the Times set June 30th as the time of quitting the office of justice of the peace. The Post-Intelligencer evidently was not satisfied with either the manner or procedure and, it is said, it went to him as soon as the Times was delivered and said: "You got mixed in your dates, you will resign at once. You likewise forgot to file your resignation with the secretary of the board of county commissioners. Here is a resignation for you to sign in duplicate a copy of which will be filed today with the commissioners. It is up to you to attend to this little piece of business at once if not sooner." It was done. The Seattle Republican Established May, 1894. H. R. Cayton.....Editor Susie Revels Cayton.....Associate SUBSCRIPTION RATES.

Skagit county has been Hurd from and it sounds like McBride was, "sitting in the corner to hear sweet Jordan roll." Both the Japanese and the Russian troops declare they are in splendid fighting trim, and yet they seem to be trimming rather than fighting. The reason Parker's boom for president does not sound good to the windy Moses of Nebraska, is because it is not spelled B-r-v-a-n. Should General Miles become the Prohibition candidate what he will be forced to drink for the next six months will certainly make life a burden to him. For the first time in the history of the Hotel Washington, is has a real up-to-date Porter to look after things in general, and it is said that the new porter is a peach. Rev. Dr. Wharton of Nebraska, who is to come to the First Methodist church of this city, will find that edifice possessing a very strong Gable for a wooden structure. Well, no, the "P-I" has never been charged with "rushing the can," but your uncle Tommy seems to be of the opinion that it has suddenly acquired the habit. In accepting the presidential nomination on the prohibition ticket it transpires that General Miles had the itch a great deal worse than his closest friends ever suspected. It occurs to us that unless the Forum of Tacoma does not do some rather clever side stepping it will either find itself in the air or "between the devil and the deep sea," or in both places at one and the same time. "Let's hang together," advises an exchange to it's fellow townsmen. We see nothing consoling in hanging together, for, if one is to hang, death will follow and that too whether alone or all together. The coming King county Republican convention may not nominate a farmer for superior judge as was done in Kansas, but the indications point strongly to it nominating a Frater who has seen much of frontier life. Are there not enough bonafide citizens among the attorneys of King county, ready and willing to accept the Republican nomination for prosecuting attorney, without picking up practically a non-resident to give it to? It seems to be a struggle on the part of the Democratic party to save itself from falling into the clutches of that yellow journalist Willie Hearst, and that too despite it's experiences in the past with Billy Bryan. Evidently the politicians of this country have adopted as their motto the "American spirit," which being translated, means political corruption and graft. If all politicians are not grafters there is one thing certain—all grafters are politicians. "The Washington is sold"—Sunday Times. "The Washington is not sold."—Monday Himes. The above is a fair sample of the editorial truthfulness of the evening Blater. If it ever does tell the truth it is either a mistake or ignorance. "Moving pictures," it is believed, will cure insanity proving a pleasant diversion from the various hallucinations of the patient. Moving pictures to keep from paying rent has always been a rather pleasant task to those who would "rather move than pay rent." Bad eggs may find useful avocations in the East where cheimcal science has learned how to utilize them for gain to the owners, but "out West" bad eggs are still far more servicable in a theater when a barn storming company is before the foot-lights than in any other capacity. If that Semple minded old gentleman would use as much energy and exertion in legitimate business enterprises in Seattle as he does in "knocking" Seattle at Washington City, he would be a wealthy man much sooner than by pursuing the course that he is now doing. That quartett of Waterbury, Connecticut kids, who successfully robbed a recluse of $12,000 have already won the epaulets of the shrewd American business man. It is quite true that they have begun early, but that's to their credit, and they should be advanced at least ten paces by their superiors. If Chief Delaney does not rid Seattle of her colony of crooks, who came to this city some years ago by special invitation of her chief executive, it will be his own fault, for the pulpit, the press, and the public are heart and soul with him in his move, and the municipal administration is demanding that he do so. Judge Cann is not only out of the race for the nomination of justice of the peace, but is actually out of office, he having tendered his resignation to the county commissioners. Poor old octogenarian, he is forced to leave public life under a cloud that is sufficienty ominous to wreck the life of one forty years his junior let alone one of his age. It might be an incentive for Dr. Burdette, in order to increase his colony in Eastern Washington, to give out the information to his race that, within the next year his brothren may see a Black man from this state in congress, a Coon as lieutenant governor, and just Piles of them in federal positions. The Negro is not in the United States that would turn a deaf ear to such political preferment for "my people." MILK AND FOOD INSPCTIONS.

Seven Days' Current Comment and Observation The conviction of Senator Burton has called forth a vast amount of criticism, it being the first time in the history of the country that a United States senator has been found guilty of high crimes and misdemeanor. He was sentenced to serve a term of six months in prison and pay a fine of $2,500. The latter is a mere bagatelle, while the former, if he ever has to do so, will doubtless break his heart, that is, if he has such a thing. Burton, however, has the reputation of being one of the most corrupt men in political affairs, as wells as otherwise throughout the entire West. Although he now stands convicted it is said that he will not be expelled from the senate until the court of appeals has decided the case. Discussing Burton's conviction the "New York Times" (In.-Dem.), calls on him to resign at once. And the "Evening Mail" (Rep.), also insists that his resignation be handed in. The "Detroit Free Press" (Rep.) says: "If the senate has any regard for its traditions it will make short shift of Burton." It further says, that "a political enemy of Burton, when he was elected made the remark, "it would be fortunate if the new senator succeeded in keeping out of the penitentiary until the expiration of his term." The Brooklyn "Citizen (Dem.), is of the opinion that, "no man with a sense of honor would have placed himself in the position Senator Burton did," and continues, "even the federal senate has been infected with the all pervading atmosphere of graft." The Springfield "Republican" (Ind.), is of the general opinion that "graft has become as common among congressmen as among ward politicians and that the public has heard so much of it in the past that even the conviction of a United States Senator fails to shock it." In discussing the matter the Pittsburg "Despatch" says: "If he had not been a United States Senator his services would not have been worth twenty-five cents to the shady concern which retained him. The Chicago "Record-Herald (Ind.), thinks, "that he will cease now to have consideration from his state or his party." Owing to the general disreputableness of the man. The Pittsburg "Gazette (Rep.), and "Chronicle Telegraph" give the credit of Burton's conviction to President Roosevelt, and think that this case, "is only part of the general housecleaning that is coming on in all departments of government under the direction of the President." The Cleveland Plaindealer says, "there are others in the senate tarred with the same stick and that Burton bunglesomely violated the laws and got caught while the others have not as yet been detected." The St. Louis, Republic (Dem.) thinks "the lid must be pried off at Washington before the pot can be cleaned out. The postal scandals lifted it, revealing smoke and smell and then it fell back again. Now Senator Burton's conviction pries it up a little just enough to let loose these rumors of other misconduct of members of the congress." It will be seen from the various comments of the leading newspapers of the country that there is a rotten condition of of affairs existing at Washington City and ramifying itself throughout the entire country in the administration of public affairs, which sooner or later, if not headed off, will cause a general disruption of our govern- ment. Whether in city, county, state or nation he who is elected to office seems to begin at once to cast about for a graft machine whereby he can get rich quick. FAMILIAR STATESMEN. How Smith, Brown, Jones, Johnson and Williams Fare. Someone interested in "the few immortal names that were not born to die" has made a somewhat elaborate inquiry into the part played by the Smith, Brown, Jones, Johnson and Williams families in national affairs. In congress alone he finds that the government has paid somewhat more than $6,000,000 to the members of these five tribes. Of Smiths—counting members of the Continental Congress in the list of the lower house—there have been 12 senators and 75 representatives. The senators had, all told, 41 terms and the representatives 173 terms. Elqven men have answered to the name of Senator Johnson, while 39 have claimed the mail directed to Mr. Johnson, M. C. The senators named Johnson averaged exactly two each, while the 39 representatives of that name had 90 terms altogether. The position of the Williams family is peculiar. In the lower house their record is impressive. The 43 Williamses enjoyed at the hands of their constituents the honor of 106 terms. Yet the family never got far from the plain people. It had only eight senators, and but one of these was chosen twice. The Brown family has eight families with 13 terms, and 30 representatives with 63 terms. The Jones family surpasses the Browns in the house, where it has had 37 representatives with 83 terms, but falls in the rear in the senate, as have been only six of its members, with an aggregate of 14 terms.—New York Post. ARCHBISHOP IRELAND. Archbishop Ireland enjoys the somewhat unique distinction of being loved at home and venerated abroad. It cannot be said of him that "a prophet is not without honor save in his own country." It is indeed a remarkable thing that all men of all ages, races and languages, of all creeds, religions and philosophies, and of all political parties unite in a deep-rooted admiration for his life and services. A few years ago the whole city of St. Paul united in tendering the archbishop a reception at the Commercial club as an indication of this feeling. His fame extends, however, to the world at large. Yale university in 1901 conferred upon him the degree of LL. D. His book on "The Church and Modern Society" is recognized as a standard to the most thoughtful literature. Our distinguished fellow-citizen is, moreover, a national force. He contributed in large measure to the solution of the religious questions in the Philippines. In consequence, wherever the good man goes he is an object of interest and respectful attention rather than of the vulgar curiosity which annoys the truly great. It is not difficult to account for this unusual achievement in life. A strong physique and a wise life have been the foundations upon which rest a singularly versatile and potent mind and an exalted character. The sympathies of the archbishop are truly catholic. This has been manifested particularly in his appreciation of the difficulties and the capacities which mark the course of the Negro race. He was the chaplain of the Fifth Minnesota regiment which fought for freedom. He has understood and appreciated the great mission of Booker T. Washington. Therewith has gone an admiration and a personal friendliness for our apostle of industrial training. It is accordingly with a feeling of gratitude that the Negro pays his humble tribute to the man in whom blend not only great civic forces, but also the highest Christian virtues. Long may he live to aid suffering mankind and to advance the cause of the Carpenter of Nazareth.—The Irroquois. The Japs got busy again one or two days this week and as a result three or four Russian battleships now ornament the bottom of the sea and hades has had an influx of new recruits from the Russian army. New York, West Virginia, Texas, Mississippi and Georgia have all held their state conventions and instructed their delegates to work for Roosevelt's nomination. It is safe to predict that none other than safe Roosevelt delegates will be sent to the next Republican convention. Senator Dietrich was found not guilty of graft and thus Nebraska is saved from a similar disgrace as befell Kansas in the conviction of Senator Burton. Grafting officials should go. A premature explosion on the battleship Missouri resulted in thirty-two men losing their lives and the vessel would have been completely destroyed had it not been for the bravery of Gunner's Mate Monson, who, at the risk of his own life, prevented the entire magazine from exploding, which would have killed over 600 persons. Hobson's act pales into insignificance in comparison to this. Before the House of Representatives pass resolutions to protect the Jews in Russia from persecution they had better pass resolutions to protect the Negroes of this country from fiendish barbarity, who are being persecuted ten thousand times worse every day of their lives than the Jews of Russia. Charity begins at home. Senator Mitchell of Oregon may be a political trickster at home, but he gets the goods from Congress for his state. The sundry civil bill recently passed gives $100,000 to continue the Columbia river improvements. Senator Mitchell gets more for Oregon from the general government than any other senator from the West gets for his state. And it now transpirts that an old woman in Great Fails, Montana, who recently died, left $14,000 sewed up in her old clothes. She eked out a miserable existence by picking up and selling rags. "What fools we mortals be." Granny Morgan is still trying to obstruct the Panama canal. Such old fossils ought to be expelled from the senate. The Spanish government is again in a turbulent condition. The lives of the king and the premier have both been threatened by Anarchists within the past week. A Republican Convention for the State of Washington is hereby called to meet in the City of Tacoma, on Wednesday, May 11th, 1904, at the hour of ten o'clock a.m., for the purpose of electing ten delegates and ten alternate delegates to attend the National Republican Convention to be held in the City of Chicago on June 21st, 1904, and the nomination of five candidates for presidential electors to be voted for at the presidential election to be held in November, and to cast the vote of the State of Washington in the electoral college for President and Vice-President of the United States, and the placing in nomination of Three candidates for Congress, Two candidates for Supreme Judge, One candidate for Governor, One candidate for Lieutenant-Governor, One candidate for Secretary of State, One candidate for State Treasurer, One candidate for State Auditor, One candidate for Attorney-General, One candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction. One candidate for Commissioner of Public Lands, and for the transaction of such other businesses as may properly come before the said convention. The basis of representation will be two delegates at large for each county and one delegate for each 100 votes or major fraction thereof cast in each county for the Hon. Hiram E. Hadley, Republican candidate for State Supreme Judge at the general election of 1902, the apportionment of each county being as follows: ROLL County— Voters. Delegates. Adams 699 9 Asotin 407 6 Chehalls 1,714 19 Chelan 710 9 Clallam 708 9 Clarke 1,539 17 Columbla 821 10 Cowltz 1,123 13 Douglas 761 10 Ferry 399 6 Franklin 222 4 Garfield 526 7 Island 322 5 Jefferson 717 9 King 11,276 115 Kitsap 1,108 13 Kittitas 1,070 13 Klickitat 913 11 Lewis 1,903 21 Lincoln 1,517 17 Mason 544 7 Okanogan 565 8 Pacific 846 10 Plerce 5,607 58 San Juan 431 6 Skagit 1,945 21 Skamania 182 4 Snohomish 3,787 40 Spokane 4,691 49 Stevens 1,273 15 Thurston 1,323 15 Wahklakum 355 6 Walla Walla 1,814 20 Whatcom 3,289 35 Whitman 2,205 24 Yakima 1,705 19 All County Conventions in electing delegates to the State Convention will also elect alternates, and it is also deemed best that the County Conventions to elect their delegates to the State Convention be held at least 10 days prior to May 11th, 1904. It is recommended that at the time of selecting delegates to the State Convention the County Conventions in those counties which are included in judicial or senatorial districts composing two or more counties also select delegates based on the same apportionment as delegates to the state convention are elected to judicial or senatorial conventions for such districts, to be held at such time and place as may be determined by the Republican County Central Committees of the counties in such districts. The State Central Committee recommends that all voters who believe in the principles of the Republican party and endorse its policies and will support the nominees of the party at the November election, are cordially invited to participate in the primaries.

Mr. Warren C. Coleman was born a slave in Cabarrus county. N. C., on March 25, 1849. His boyhood was not eventful before emancipation, except it might be noted that he learned the shoemaker’s trade and under the com: pulsion of a slave pursned the same to some extent in the interest of the Confederate cause. Being 2 minor at the emancipation, he was cictained as a bound boy, and was required to perform the most menial and labori ous work. This undoubtedly contrib- uted to arouse his ambition. Mr. Cole man very early manifested that tact in business which has characterized his success along that line in later years. After reaching his majority for a while he engaged himself variously in trading and peddling, and with varying results, all the while evine- ing great business insight. He con- cluded to set up a barber shop in con- nection with a bakery, a somewhat novel combination, but all along the line of Mr. Coleman's persevering nature. In 1870 he went to Alabama, but returned in 1871, in the meantime receiving instruction in booksfrom his former young master, William M.Cole- man, After returning from Alabama, Mr. Coleman followed farming, but it was apparent his calling lay upon a more select if not a higher plane of activity, and, at the suggestion of his former young master, he went in 1873 to Howard University, bearing a re- commendation from Bishop J. W. Hood and reaching the university at the close of the session. The surprise which this last clause must certainly arouse would suggest that up to this time Mr. Coleman had not made suffi- cient acquaintance with literary affairs to know the order of school terms and sessions. But, nothing daunted, he holds on, inspired by his character- istic intelligent perseverance, and en- ters at the opening of the next ses- 3 The Crescent 7 Lawn Mower IS EASY TO RUN : i 12 inch | $3.25 14 inch | $3.50 16 ineh | $3.75 | | splger & ub ee eee ieee” sion. He had not money sufficient to bear his expenses, and was there- fore under necessity to support him- self by extra service on the school grounds. For this Mr. Coleman was well prepared by temperament and otherwise. He also made some money while there by selling jewelry and ar- ticles in kind. It is in the field of barter and trade that the subject of our sketch finds his most attractive and effective school. In 1874 he re- turned to Concord. After marrying, he at once secured a home and be- gan purchasing lots and_ building houses. This he has continued to do until he carries on his regular rent- ing list over one hundred houses. He has purchased and owns excellent farms, and has equipped them with stock and other appurteiances neces- sary to progressive agriculture. CARD OF THANKS. Mrs. George H. and William Grose wish to thank their many friends for the many acts of kindness shown them in their late bereavement. Kindness, after all, is the only true “balm in Gilliad” for the bleeding heart. AFRO-AMERICAN NOTES. Friends of Prof. J. B.

A State Negro Republican club was organized March 15, at Little Rock, Ark., with fifty chartered members. Resolutions were adopted deuouncing the sale in the South of lewd pictures and those representing the president dining with Booker T. Washington, and calling upon the officers of the law to arrest the men and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. The clu) was named the M. W. Gibbs JRepubiican club of Arkansas, and J. E. Bush was elected president.—New York Age. To onr colored brethren it was well said by Frederick Douglass that the Republican party was the ship, and all else was at sea. My advice to you now is to get on board. Don’t forget to hoist your umbrellas, because it is going to rain. A hint to the wise is sufficient.—Rising Sun.
