Seattle Republican

EPUBLICAN SEATTLE REPUBLICAN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1904 F THE PASSING THRONG CURBSTONE SKETCHES OF THE PASSING THRONG for after Roosevelt's strong letter of acceptance the leading Democratic papers made bold to announce, "Parker's letter will be of that nature that will make you stop and think," but a sad disappointment came over them when the letter came, and they have nothing either editorially or otherwise to say for the able and political way (?) he handled the public issues. So far as Parker's letter is concerned there are no public issues in the present campaign. It is plain to be seen now that the Democrats have nominated the weakest man for president this year that they ever did in the history of the party. It would seem that there are others besides the editor of the Seattle Republican who view with alarm the practices and theories of the leaders of the South, and among those who do is Robert Treat Payne, Massachusetts' foremost Democrat. He recently said on announcing his intention of supporting Theodore Roosevelt for president: "I do not want to see a Vardaman, a Tillman or an ex-Gov. Brown, of Maryland, in the White House, nor a man of whom it may be suspected that he would treat a Negro in the White House as such men would treat the black man. I want a man for president who will terat all men alike on their merits as men. In this respect I think Roosevelt has been a godsend to this country, for he has displayed qualities that we have not seen in a president of the United States for many years. Eight years ago the country was torn by a conflict between classes, and Roosevelt has done more, and I believe will continue to do more, to dissipate the spirit of class hatred, which is about the worst thing that could befall the country, than any other man I know of. "We cannot hope to attain perfection, but we can strive to attain as closely to it as possible, and I am convinced that Roosevelt means to do the right thing, and do it to the best of his ability, and that is the sort of a president I want, and the sort of a president I believe the people of this country want." Mr. Payne has been his party's candidate for governor. He has been his party's ideal Democrat, and he was honored and respected by Republicans because he was honest, straightforward and differed from them on principle rather than on plunder. But when Democracy puts such reprobates and murderers as Tillman, Vardaman, John Sharp Williams, Jeff Davis and their ghoulish supporters to the front, the blood of his ancestors revolts and he shakes the very dust of Democracy off his feet. Let's hope that the spirit of the North will arouse itself in every liberty-loving man's breast and that the Southern fireflys will be snuffed out as it was in 1864. Thank God there is a Robert Treat Payne to set even Republicans to thinking. Roosevelt is being abused by the South just as was Lincoln. Roosevelt, like Lincoln, will be elected, and like Lincoln he will check the wild career of the South, only he will do so at once instead of prolonging it. The following from the Sunday Welcome is reproduced to inform the reading public that the interested parties are not Negroes, but are the "superior race" the Portland Welcome boasts so much about: Five girls and a boy, the children of Mr. and Mrs. Sacou Circle of Coos county, were received at the home of the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society yesterday afternoon, and one of the saddest stories ever made public here was unfolded. The father, aged 54 years, began serving a twenty-year term in the penitentiary recently; the mother is a county charge; the little ones have never set foot in a schoolhouse, and are at present clad in wretched garments. The pangs of hunger, they said, have often been felt at their home. "The children range in age from 2 to 14 years. The father was sent to the penitentiary for an assault on his daughter, Florence, the elder of the girls. Kind people, learning of the girl's pathetic case, have adopted her." The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a blank or heavily blurred background with no discernible content. CURBSTONE SKETCHES The war in the Orient has almost reached the nervous point. For the past seven days the Japanese have steadily moved against the strongholds around Port Arthur until it seems almost impossible for the city to live much longer as a Russian stronghold. The war between Russia and Japan has been a fierce one from the very start, and both sides have lost very heavily, with the odds of losing, it is generally believed, on the Russian side of the fight. So far as Japan is concerned, it is a case of establishing herself among the powers of the earth. In other words, while Japan is making war only on Russia, she is serving notice on the world in general that in its greed for territory grabbing in the Far East Japan must be reckoned with. Russia is fighting for more territory. She is fighting to maintain the precedent that she has already established, a heartless territory greed grabbing nation to country that belongs to a weaker power, for the sake of getting it. It is but another case of the big bully lording over the little fellows because he has the physical power to do so. Japan has the sympathy of the civilized world with her, and if she did not belong to a race of brown men she would have the outward support of the civilized world. Influential men in America and European countries remain silent because of their race prejudice, but despite that Japan is coming out victorious and the world will be the better for it. --- Punch and Judy Bailey, one of the illegal misfits of the United States senate, who hails from Texas, makes the assertion that, "the Democratic candidate for president stood with his foot on the sword and the Constitution in his hands, while Roosevelt stood just the opposite." Well, if Parker ever had the constitution of the United States in his hand that's a great deal more than Joe Bailey ever had in his, for he made his debut into public life by making good his boast of having killed more Negroes than any one else of his ilk in his native county. Joe Bailey was first nominated for presidential elector in 1884 on the Cleveland first term ticket from Capiah county, Mississippi, and he was nominated more for the deviltry that he had done than for the real merit in the man as a good citizen. The editor of this paper was reared within a few miles of where Joe Baily was, and so far as the Negroes were concerned he was the terror of the community. He killed the men and ruined the women and little girls. The New York Sun says well, when it tells its readers that, "Once Mr. Bailey lived in Copiah county, Mississippi, and went electioneering with bullets. Indeed, he went on Klu-Klux raids and terrorized and outraged peaceable citizens and glorified in his unlawful and bloody work." The Sun could have gone a step further and said, "peaceable and innocent men were not the only ones he outraged and terrorized, but innocent and virtuous women as well. If Joe Bailey is a type of the "Defenders of the Constitution," better for it that it go undefended, for he and his ilk are worse by far than the cannibals of the islands of the sea and the Constitution they could consistently defend would be one regulating Dead Men's Gulch. --- Judge Alton B. Parker's letter of acceptance has been made public, and it is remarkable only for what it did not say. He replied to Roosevelt's arraignment of the Democratic party by either saying nothing or mumbling a lot of inaudible sounds, which was the same as having said nothing. Evidently Judge Parker has a telegram up his sleeve, which he expects to send as soon as the committee has sufficiently digested the awful dose of political rot, which will throw some light on the situation. Parker now goes down in history as the silent candidate of the Democratic party, as he neither talked before nor after his nomination, but is relying solely on a telegram to win his election, and to say that his party is sadly disappointed in him is mildly putting it. Even Democratic papers are sadly disappointed, --- VOL. XI.

"What more natural than that the maiden should come to regard marriage as the great purpose of her life? That being the case, does any wise man dream that she will sit still and wait for the years to pass in order that she may acquire sufficient maturity to be judicious? If the man be reasonably good-looking, wears fine clothes and spends money liberally, he must not be allowed to escape. To marry at 20 or under is the ambition of nearly every girl of the period. 'Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.' To wait might mean to lose a dozen good chances. "As for the young men, what is there left for them but to take the goods the gods provide? If they do not, some one else will. And when the rosy sirens set themselves earnestly to the task of securing husbands, he is a resolute brother, indeed, who escapes. Marrying young and learning later that they could have done better will probably continue to be the fate of many youths and maidens. Probably, even in the present circumstances, the percentage of successful marriages is quite as great as it would be if people waited to find out their own minds. The court records seem to show that men are never too old to be fools in regard to women." --- The modern newspaper contains a great deal of advice to the young which is read eagerly by the old, who wonder why the young men don't take it. The New York Sun discusses the matter as follows: "The advice receltny offered to young persons by a clever man not to marry till they had reached years of sufficient maturity to make them wise judges of partners for life will probably not meet with widesprad approval among those for whom it was intnded. While it is generally believed that bachelor girls, as they are called, are more numerous now than they ever were before, nevertheless the average girl looks forward to a husband and a home. This is well; for if it is not good for man to be alone, it certainly is no better for woman. 'But the typical mother yearns to see her daughter make a 'good match.' A good match, as everyone knows, demands as its prime essential a man with a substantial income. From the combination of these the young woman is to expect a life of comfort and even luxury. She is to have pretty gowns to wear and she is not to do any work. She is to have jewels and trinkets wherewith to adorn herself, and WHEN TO MARRY. (New York Sun.) THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN [Name] HON. A. E. MEAD NEXT GOVERNOR OF WASHINGTON --- FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1904 1830 --- FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 30. 1904 POLITICAL POT=PIE After carefully going over the political situation in this state so far as the state ticket is concerned and watching the drift of public sentiment as has been crystalized by the newspapers and campaign spellbinders, the Pie-maker feels safe in predicting that, the Hon. A. E. Meade, will carry the state over Judge George Turner by between 5,000 and 10,000 plurality, and that, too, if Turner should come to the top of the mountains with a plurality of 10,000, which he can not possibly do. King county alone will give Mr. Meade 7,000 plurality and every county in the northwest will give him a more or less majority and his home county will not fall short of 3,000, and Snohomish will not be far behind that mark. The southwest will give him splendid majorities in every county, which justifies the allegation that he will beat Judge Turner by 5,000 plurality, if the Judge comes to the top of the mountains with 10,000 plurality. In Eastern Washington the situation is growing better every day of the campaign, and while we are in no position to make any predictions as to the exact outcome in Eastern Washington, there is no doubt of the fact, and even Judge Turner now admits it, he will not have that section of the state by as large a vote as had been promised him. The close political friends of Judge Turner do not hesitate in saying that he made the political mistake of his life in accepting the Democratic nomination for governor, for he will be defeated and he will have lost his control of the Democratic party and will have lost whatever hold he had in national politics. * * * The Pie-maker is in a predicting humor this issue, and he therefore is prepared to predict, and that, too, without fear of successful contradiction, that Lou Smith is going to be elected sheriff of King county by not less than 2,000 plurality over Jack Williams, the Democratic nominee for the same office. We feel absolutely safe in making this prediction, because search as diligently as you will or may you will find no organized effort among the Republicans of the county to fight Smith at the polls. There is no denying the fact that some Republicans will vote against him, but by no means enough to cost him his election. Even those men who say they are nielined to vote against him, and even those who say they intend to vote against him, when asked, "Do you think Lou Smith is dishonest?" will promptly reply, "I do not, though he may have been indiscreet." If you do not think the man is dishonest, why vote against him? Why do you as a Republican want to vote for a Democrat? What advantage has it been to King county to have had a Democratic sheriff for the past four years? Would not a Republican have served the county just as well? Let's stop and reason together for a minute as Republicans, and it is barely possible we will discover that it is much better to keep Republicans in office than Democrats. Let's for once rid the county of Republican factions at the polls. We have had enough of it. Let's call it off. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Commissioner Smith's political opponents have fallen back in disorder, having failed utterly to show any flaw in his qualification for the office of county sheriff. In fact his cause has been greatly strengthened by the light thrown on his official career as county commissioner. Not one of his detractors have been able to point a finger at any dishonorable act or abuse of his office. Attempts have been made to show incapacity or poor judgment in administering the affairs of the county. Such attempts have simply added to his support, for no sensible man would care to assume a criticism which would expose his own ignorance.—Enum-claw Courier. * * * The Daily Belzebub—Lord of the Dung—fairly outdid its ownself last Snuday in its attempt to throw political odium on the Hon. John L. Wilson, who recently left for an Eastern trip to take his daughter to school. Those who saw the article, if they were not aware of the fact "to see it in the Times is a damn lie," might have concluded that John L. Wilson was IT in the Republican party of this state, and no one else save him had sufficient influence with the Big Republican bosses in the East to get a cent of money for this state, providing it is needed. Senator Levy Ankeny is not only the national committeeman, but is the junior United States senator, and Addison G. Foster is senior senator, and if any one could get any money for the state central committee they and not Mr. Wilson would be the ones to get it. The joke on the Belzebub in the article is it admitted the very thing it has repeatedly denied. "Wilson is a dead one," is its daily cry, and yet last Sunday it declared "the Republican party was in desperate straits and all eyes had turned to Wilson to save the party from being captured by the Democrats." You liar of many colors! Are you not expecting a good deal of a dead man? The stand taken by the Belzebub in this, however, is no more inconsistent than that it has taken in a hundred and one other instances. In fact it never tells the truth, and if it does so by mistake it denies it the next day in big red type. * * * A few weeks ago it was said in these columns that Prof. Girard, the Democratic candidate for superintendent of public education on the state ticket, was the son of a Confederate soldier and that his birthplace was in Texas. Hon. O. D. Colvin, a friend of both Prof. Girard as well as The Republican, wrote this office correcting the error, and said: "Prof. Girard's father was a Missourian and the professor was born in that state. The father took no active part in the war and was well liked by both white and colored folk throughout the county. While I do not know the young man as well as the father, I am inclined to think he is as loyal a citizen as the country boasts of." The above is given space to, for it is not the intention of the management of this paper to do any one a wilful wrong. But in this connection we desire to call the attention of the voters to the fact that, though Prof. Girard was nominated on the Democratic ticket and on its platform, he is now wabbling between the two parties, bidding for votes from both sides. In short, he is out for the office pure and simple, and is trying to play both parties for support—more vulgarly speaking, blowing hot and cold. There is a Republican nominee and a Democratic nominee for the office of school superintendent and for all the other offices, and they were all nominated by their respective partisan conventions, and neither of those conventions recognized any non-partisan candidates for any office, and therefore Prof. Girard should stand flat-footedly on his party platform and rise or fall as does his party. Wabbling between the Republicans and Democrats on the part of any partisan candidate shows weakness as a partisan and anything to get the office. * * * You will excuse us if the Times seemed to stand on its head last night. Really, there was so much news demanding a position on the first page that we had to go through our presses sidewise.—The Belzebub. Bless my soul, brer, you are more often on your head than on your heels, and especially when "Port Arthur Falls," or "Chairman Palmer Breaks Postal Laws," or "Wilson Puts Coon Off of the Republican Ticket," or "Farrel Races to Tacoma to Nominate Meade for Governor," or "The Government is Discriminating Against the Puget Sound Navy Yard," or "The Republican Party is Made Up of Thieves and Thugs," or "John H. McGraw Robbed King County When Her Sheriff and Subsequently Became a Perjurer and an Absconder." "On your head!" Why, you miserable old Belzebub—Lord of the Dung-you are always either on your head or out of your head. * * * Editor Ryan of the Tacoma Forum is now a diner at the Turner table. He, so goes the story, has been invited to dine with the former master of Le Roi, and has been handsomely paid to take a seat. Ryan is something after Turner's own heart from a political viewpoint, for he has been Republican, Populist, Democrat, Republican and is now Democrat again, and it would seem that the man has been and is always ready to do any kind of a "political stunt" that is presented to him, if there is only a little money in it. He declared the Forum to be Republican under the influence of the much-beloved Ed Hamilton, and the "influence" that weighed the heaviest with Editor Ryan was the money Hamilton put up to start the paper and his promise to make business men advertise in its columns. Ryan, in short, is a political turn-coat and is supporting Turner because he got a bigger piece of money than he seemed to be able to blackmail Chairman Palmer into giving him. Republicanism in losing the Forum is well rid of a bad dose of journalistic nuisance. * * * Chairman Palmer has issued a call for the assembling of the State Central Committee October 7th to fill the vacancy made by the resigning of of Hon. J. M. Fish for presidential elector. Mr. Fish himself is out with an endorsement of Dr. W. G. Parker of Kettle Falls, Ferry county, for the nomination, and vouches for him being one of the most popular Republicans in Eastern Washington. The Seattle Republican Established May, 1894 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. Gambling games are now being raided by the police. If you believe in honest politics vote the Republican ticket straight. The rainy season will open on lots of unfinished grading contracts in this city. Red-headed may not be indicative of hot-headed, but it looks it just the same. Seattle furnishes amusement for everybody now, and sparring matches are as well patronized as any. Judge Parker's letter of acceptance stamps him as a very poor politician, regardless of his ability as a judge. Never in the history of Seattle since the fire have the police had the criminal element under more perfect control. Under the Roosevelt administration there are thirteen Afro-Americans in the diplomatic and consular service. Slowly but surely Seattle is putting on metropolitan style, and by January 1st the smoke nuisance is to be abated. It ought to be an easy matter to tap the Main artery of the legal lore of the State University with John F. as prognosticator. Sam Piles' waistband was materially reduced during his recent illness, which his friends think will improve his running ability. Scotty Ferguson should be driven out of town without either ceremony or eclat. He has no rights that decent citizens should respect. Wayward Republicans are returning to the fold just now in Piles, which means that Mead will get a 7,000 plurality in King county. There are 1,891 Afro-Americans employed by the district government at Washington, D. C., and their salaries aggregate about $850,000. We are pleased to note that the rivalry between the coast cities has disappeared and the supremacy of Seattle is everywhere acknowledged. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN The Afro-American people know too well what Democratic success means to be beguiled by the smooth talk of the Democratic spellbinders. While it is no doubt true that Judge Turner at one time declared himself a Populist, his enemies have not yet accused him of being a single taxer. Under the Roosevelt administration there are more than 5,000 Afro-Americans in the public service of the country, and they receive about $3,000,000 in salaries. It takes from five to seven million dollars to run a presidential campaign. The national speakers get paid for their work, while the county boys work for nothing. The Afro-Americans will never turn from the Republican party and go over to the Democrats, who are daily murdering the people of their race in the South. Granted a real shark has been seen in Elliott Bay, it is no more than can be seen on our streets every day. The one swims in water, while the other floats in the air. "Can you write a story?" asks the Mail and Herald. If we can not you can, and by some people it is not called story, but a more everyday, businesslike term is given it. Candidate Parker recently acted as a pall bearer. Is the Esopus mute training himself for the time when he will be called upn to act as a pall bearer for the Democratic party? The Second avenue regrade is moving along quite rapidly now. A few years hence, when the regrade contracts shall have been completed, the city will be very much improved. As soon as McKinley was elected in 1896 confidence was restored and we have had prosperity ever since. Vote for Roosevelt and Fairbanks and let the good times continue. Parker has little to say, but if elected, his acts will be in accord with the wishes of the men who made him a presidential possibility, and these men are all against the AfroAmerican. "Democratic Papers Universally Approve of Judge Parker's Letter," says the Belzebub. Well, if Democratic papers do not approve of it, where the devil would he get any approval? Fifty Japanese families have settled in Louisiana, where they will start rice farms. They were welcomed by the local Democrats, who are great admirers of colored men from the Orient. Our people can now notice the difference between a well-governed city and Tom Hume's wide-open policy. Few indeed are the people who would wish to return to the ex-mayor's policy. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1904 Hon. J. Milton Turner, ex-Minister to Liberia, who has been a Democrat for many years, has returned to the Republican fold. Turner says there is no place in the Democratic party for the black man. Redmond may be correct in declaring the "Irish race is dying out," but we are at a loss to know how he figures it out, as there has been no international assembling of the Irish race in a great many years. Democrats have been claiming undisputed ownership to Eastern Washington, but the Republican campaigners think there must be either a flaw in the title or the farmers have their masters mixed all up with their observers. Many of the men who wore tin roosters upon their hats in 1892, and then wore Cleveland patches upon the seats of their breeches for four years, voted for McKinley in 1896 and 1900, and they'll vote for Roosevelt this year. Bob Moran is home from Europe and he hurried hither to see the Nebraska, the dream of his life, slide into the water, which, when done, will immortalize the name of Moran Bros. It's an honor, worthy of any man's fondest hopes. Our dear Col. James Hamilton Lewis from way off Paris predicts the election of Parker. The Colonel was a mighty poor political guesser in Seattle and we have no reason to believe any improvement has befallen the red-whiskered hero. In South Carolina in 1900 nearly all of the votes cast were counted for Tillman's man Bryan. The Afro-Americans were not allowed to poll 10 per cent of their voting strength. That's Tillman's idea of the "consent of the governed." J. Alden went to New York to feel the political pulse, and some are unkind enough to say "tap the barrel." He telegraphed to the "boys" that everything was lovely. The chief push on the evening paper is a wonder when it comes to forecasting political events. The recent races were not a success from a financial standpoint. There was much quiet complaint from the owners of horses, and, whether justified or not, it has injured the sport and will prevent many from returning at future meetings. A thin, cadaverous fellow met MacLeod, the county jailer, on First avenue a few days ago, and tapping him on the stomach, said: "I wish I had one like that." Mac's prompt reply was that "a bay window would not look well on a water closet." Louie Long and Charlie Neary, two mighty scrappers, will meet in the square on Friday night, and those familiar with that calss of amusement say that there will be "fast hurrying to and fro." Neary is a stocky little fellow and has never yet met with defeat. --- Because a woman was elected justice of the peace in Colorado it does not stand to reason that that commonwealth is headed for hadese, as thinks the Patriarch. If the woman does anything at all she will be away ahead of some men holding a similar position. It is still giving the Belzebub an awful pain over Chairman Palmer's mismanagement of the Republican campaign. First thing you know the Democrats will be brought to the realization that, the Belzebub after all is more interested in Republican than Democratic success. It is claimed that American sympathy is shifting from the Japanese to the Russians. The Japs treated the foreign correspondents in such a lying, shabby manner that the change is not astonishing. Japanese success has sweled their heads and increased their lying ability. Some of the Southern journals are discussing the question: "Was the Fourteenth Amendment Ever Adopted?" When Roosevelt and a Republican congress are elected they will be shown that the Fourteenth Amendment was not only adopted, but that it wil be enforced. Tom Watson struck a Negro hack driver for putting a Negro woman in a hack with him one day last week. Evidently Tom is getting "nice nasty" in his old age. For, if that is not an almost every night occurrence with Tom, then he greatly differs from the average Southern Anglo-Saxon. As soon as the battleship is launched one hundred thousand dollars is due the Moran Bros. on the promissory notes given by the citizens to that firm prior to the acceptance of the contract. It will strike some where they live, for money is always a little close during the year of a presidential election. Fourteen years ago the Topeka was the principal Alaska flyer. The good old boat now lies on the bottom of the bay and many regret the misfortune to the stanch old ship. She will, however, soon be raised and continue in the Alaska trade for her owners, for whom she has made many fortunes. "Our martyred president, William McKinley," in Parker's letter, reminds us of Judas Iscarriot betraying his Saviour with a kiss. When McKinley was a presidential candidate Parker's party was branding him a tyrant, a usurper and an oppressor of the common people. Ye gods, such consistency. The "mighty" scrap between the Republicans and Democrats in King county will be at fever heat in a few days, and Salt river will soon be strewn with victims of conceit and misplaced confidence. It is astonishing how many men there are who overestimate their ability in running for office. It's amusing to hear Democrats charge Roosevelt with not having the proper re- gard for "the supreme law of the land." Dirty, cowardly criminals! There is not a law on the statute books of this land that has not been wilfully, flagrantly and defiantly broken by the Demorcats, both singly and collectively. Seattle's hundred eyed monster must have failed to get what it demanded is why it thinks Lou Smith has not satisfactorily explained the Eaton case, for it to support him for sheriff. That money monster never gets things satisfactorily explained unless $ $ $ by the bag full are dumped on its desk. It takes $ $ $ to explain to professional blackmailers. Parker's letter of acceptance, we quite agree with a Democratic organ, "breathes the spirit of the old time Democracy." Yes, that old time Democratic spirit that domineered the party from 1861 to 1864, when Democracy in the South was trying to shoot the Constitution to death and Democracy in the North was resoluting, "the war is a failure." Oh, yes, the Parker Democracy has a familiar ring. A writer in the Manufacturers' Record of recent date predicts that the automobile will soon take the place of the street cars. The poor fellow don't seem to understand that the auto, like the bicycle and roller skates, is a fad, and will in a few years be replaced by something else, the Lord only knows what. The auto is a rich man's plaything, and until the fad wears out will be popular among those who can afford to own it. The fundamental law of the United States prohibits slavery and involuntary servitude, but in portions of the South, where the Democrats rule, lawless people have taken advantage of the lax observance of civil rights as applied to the Afro-American and have held their darker-hued brethren in a state of peonage. This practice was very common until the Department of Justice under the Roosevelt administration started an investigation of the matter, which resulted in sending some of the scoundrels to the penitentiary. Peonage is not so popular as it used to be, and with Roosevelt as president it will be wiped out entirely during the next four years. "I have just returned from a visit through a number of Eastern states and New York in particular," said C. A. Riddle, a well-known Seattle attorney, "and I am absolutely certain that Roosevelt will be elected and that he will carry New York by a larger plurality than did McKinley in either 1896 or 1900. There is no enthusiasm among the Democrats, while everybody you meet is talking Roosevelt. I predict that Roosevelt will get the largest popular vote of any one ever elected to the presidency. Republicans all through the East are a unit for Roosevelt's election, and in those states where there is to be found local party strife all factions are for Roosevelt. In the Western states nothing but Roosevelt is talked, and if he does not carry every state west of the Mississippi river I will be greatly surprised." Mr. Riddle is a very careful and conservative observer and does not make statements without having something tangible on which to base his conclusions. PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION. State of Washington, Office of the Secretary of State. To whom it may concern: In obedience to an act of the legislature, approved March 16, 1903, entitled as follows, An act to provide for voting on a constitutional amendment at the general election to be held in November, 1904, relative to amending the state constitution relative to power of legislature to employ chaplains for state penal and reformatory institutions, there is herewith published for the consideration of the voters of the state of Washington the following proposed amendment to the constitution of said state: Sec. 11, Article 1, of the constitution of the state of Washington shall be amended to read as follows: Sec. 11. Absolute freedom of conscience in all matters of religious sentiment, belief and worship shall be guaranteed to every individual and no one shall be molested or disturbed in person or property on account of religion; but the liberty of conscience hereby secured shall not be so construed as to excuse acts of licentiousness or justify practices inconsistent with the peace and safety of the state. No public money or property shall be appropriated for or applied to any religious worship, exercise or instruction, or the support of any religious establishment. Provided, however, that this article shall not be so construed as to forbid the employment by the state of a champlain for the state penitentiary, and for such of the state reformatories as in the discretion of the legislature may seem justified. No religious qualifications shall be required for any public office or employment, nor shall any person be incompetent as a witness or juror in consequence of his opinion on matters of religion, or be questioned in any court of justice touching his religious belief to affect the weight of his testimony. That there shall be printed on all ballots supplied to said election the words: "For the proposed amendment of section eleven (11), of article one (1) of the constitution, giving to the legislature of the state of Washington the power of supplying chaplains for state penal and reformatory institutions," and "Against said proposed amendment to section eleven (11), of article one (1) of the constitution, giving to the legislature of the state of Washington the power of employing chaplains for the state penal and reformatory institutions." In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the state of Washington. Done at Olympia, this first day of August, A. D. 1904. (State Seal) SAM H. NICHOLS, Secretary of State for the State of Washington. To the voters: You are hereby advised to place an X after the question "For the amendment," etc., or "Against the amendment," etc., as the case may be so as to express more clearly your affirmative or negative vote.

Hawkins and Mr. Frank Bellamy are in the Olmpic mountains looking for deer. The Roosevelt Invincible Club, of which Andrew R. Black is president, met for consultation last Monday evening. Winter will soon set in and as there will be more or less social club meetings as well as clubs of a literary nature the Seattle Republican would be glad to have some member of each club or organization, make a regular report of their respective proceedings to its office.
