Write it 1906. How about the water wagon? Who will be Seattle's next mayor? Echo, answer. The Alaska exposition for Seattle in 1907 should be the watch word. During the year 1905 Seattle did not lose a single lawyer by death. The good die. Let's make Seattle a hummer in 1906 by a hard pull and an all pulling together. "We'll drink no more nor buy nor sell away, away the bowl, The tipplers offer we'll repel away, away the bowl." Otis M. Moore has swapped the White River Journal with Dean for the Daily Hoquiam. Both men wanted and needed a change. According to a letter from a prominent Mississippi Negro unless that state is replenished by immigration from some where farming will be done only in spots, as the Negro is rapidly leaving the state. Too much lynching of the Negro men and seducing the Negro women under Vardeman influence accounts for it. "My friend, if you have any idea of having your home fitted up to burn gas and have any idea of burning it after it has been so fitted up, you are warned against committing such a blunder. A friend of mine did that and he paid dearly for his experience," said a well known citizen one day this week. "He had been using electricity and thought he was paying too much for it, and he was doubtless quite right. He read a gas advertisement one day, which informed him the using of gas instead of electricity was a great economy, and so he had his electric lights taken out and installed gas lights throughout his house. This installation cost him something like $40. The lights looked beautiful and for a while the whole --- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1905 family was delighted with the change. In a month's time, however, it began to dawn upon them that a grave mistake had been made. The gas bill came in and it was just as high as the electric light bill. A number of mantels and chimneys had been broken during the month, which proved to be of a monthly occurrence, and when the breakage was added to the other regular gas bill it was considerably more than the electric light bill for the month. The home had been recently papered with expensive wall paper and in two months' time that showed signs of being smoked, and in one instance the paper had been actually scorched. So smoked did the paper soon become that the house had to be repapered, which of itself cost more than the electric light bill for a whole year. Then the meter man read the meter just as well without seeing it as he did when he did see it. If the family were away and the reader came to read the meter he read it just the same or he reported it read. Six months of this was sufficient to convince my friend he was losing too much money to continue using gas, and so he ordered it taken out immediately, if not sooner. The city lighting plant is rapidly covering all parts of the city, and if you have that service put in your home you not only get cheaper lights, but get a square deal in the reading of the meter, a thing that you seldom ever get from private companies furnishing either gas or electric lights. With the city service one can light their home ten times better and pay for a third to half less money per month for that lighting service. The city lighting plant is another spoke in the municipal ownership idea, and if you are having your house lighted with either gas or electricity and desire to save money in doing so you will have those private concerns cut their wires and have the city wires put in. NEWS OF THE WEEK Saturday. Christmas shopping runs riot. Two men in custody of a constable near Mt. Carmel, Ill., attempted to escape. A bloody battle resulted in which the constable and both of the prisoners were killed. Russian riots continue and the Czar has been warned to flee the country. Czar Nicholas now blames Witte for the chaotic state of the country. The jury that will try the beef trust was completed late last night and accepted by both sides. Twenty-one persons and corporations will be tried on charges of conspiracy against the government. Joseph H. Choate, who has already won fame as a diplomat, is to be chairman of the American delegation to the second The Hague conference. Henry Bush, a Vladivostok merchant, in an interview at Victoria, B. C., declares that in the recent riots there property to the value of $20,000,000 was destroyed and hundreds of lives were lost. BLICAN The jury that tried G. D. Collins, the man who made such a fight against being extradited from British Columbia last summer, after twenty-four hours deliberation agreed to disagree and was discharged, which means Collins is the same as clear now. Sunday. A fierce battle is raging in the streets of Moscow, Russia, today and bloodshed and murder are in evidence on every hand. Some 25,000 soldiers are fighting the rioters, who are being mowed down by the score. The shoot to kill order has been issued to the soldiers and they never seem to lose an opportunity to carry out their instructions. Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock has withdrawn from public entry 250,000 acres of land in the Yakima valley. There is quite a controversy going on over some of this land between Secretary Hitchcock and the Washington state authorities which is attracting more or less notice among prospective homesteaders. Bob Fitzsimmons, who was recently defeated in the ring, was today notified by his attorneys that his wife had deserted him and would sue for divorce. The loss of both at the same time was more than the pugilist could stand and he broke down and cried like a child. Mining experts estimate that the gross output in ore in British Columbia for the year 1905 was $20,000,000, which is $2,000,-000 more than in 1904. G. H. Hale, a resident of Alaska, predicts that Seward will be the Seattle of Alaska. Seward is the seaport town of the Alaska Central railway and J. E. Ballaine and his brother of Seattle own a great deal of property in the town site. Monday. "Peace on earth, good will to men." Christmas with an unusual amount of good cheer reigns throughout the land. Business in every avenue is practically suspended. Every home seems to be full and overflowing with prosperity. The morning papers report a $200,000 hotel fire in Los Angeles, Cal. Six of the firemen were injured by a falling wall. Many of the guests lost all of their personal effects, but no fatalities are reported. Riots in Russia continue and many lives are lost. Whether or not there will be a general civil strife and uprising throughout the country depends very largely on whether the soldiers will stand pat with the government. A bulletin recently issued by the Washington city statistician says: "Our exports to China for the past ten months aggregate $50,000,000, against $20,000,000 for the same months in 1904. Our exports to Japan for the past ten months aggregate $46,500,000, against $22,000,000 for the same months in 1904, and $13,000,000 in 1903. An auto accident is reported from New York in which Jas. E. Martin was instantly killed. While endeavoring to make a quick run to the city the auto went down in soft PERSONAL Dr. Cardwell leaves for Spokane next Saturday to take the medical examination. This paper was in error as to Mr. R. A. Clark being employed as shipping clerk for a dry goods house in town. Mr. and Mrs. John Robinson hope to be in their new home the latter part of January. Mrs. Julius Johnson and son, of Roslyn, are visiting in the city. A social hop at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John T. Gayton is on for this (Friday) evening. NOGIFT LIKETHE CHICKERING PIANO!

S. Johnston & Co., Sherman, Clay & Co. and the Bon Marche. Afro-Americans might remember this when they are out shopping. Providing a suitable place for meeting can be secured at a nominal cost, there is talk of organizing a Sunday Club among the Afro-American men of the city. "A Jolly American Tramp" has been so popular all week with Third Avenue Theatre audiences that the capacity of the theatre has been tested at every performance. The engagement will close Saturday night. One of the most pretentious scenic productions that toured the country last season was "Her Marriage Vow," which will be given for the first time in this city on next Sunday evening at the matinee at the Third Avenue Theatre, where it will fill an engagement of one week. The play met with brilliant success, and its production here will, no doubt, add new laurels to its fame. A special effort was made in the construction of the railroad scene in the third act, which is said to be a marvel of stage mechanism. Two full sized express trains, each two hundred feet long, coming from opposite directions and running at great speed, pass in plain view of the audience. Charles A. Taylor, the well known melodramatic author and producer, has given this production his special attention and a performance of unusual excellence is promised. The Innocent Maids will give two farewell performances at the Seattle on Saturday. Sunday matinee, December 31, the Dreamland Burlesquers begin their engagement of one week. This will be one of the big hits of the burlesque year. In all it is an attraction calculated to please the most fastidious lover of burlesque, music and vaudeville, and is really stupendous in its mechanical building, including scenery, while its costumes cannot be approached for beauty. The girls are most captivating. Calve seats are now selling by mail through the box office of the Grand Opera House. The date of the great singer's local concert is January 19. Mme. Helen Modjeska will be seen at the Grand next Monday and Tuesday nights in "Macbeth" and "Mary Stuart." Superb in every role which she ever undertook, it is as Lady Macbeth, Beatrice and Mary Queen of Scots that she has won her greatest triumphs. Therefore, it was fitting that she should select these as the parts in which she should appear before her friends throughout the country for the ```markdown ``` THIRD AVENUE.

Moreover, in this instance, the woman is as much the thing as the play. It is Modjeska the people will go to see this time, rather than the great works of Shakespeare and Schiller.

Miss Alice Roosevelt, who is to be married in the very near future, is to be the recipient of valuable presents from all the crown heads and potentates throughout Europe and the Sultan of Sulu will not be outdone. Tuesday. In Eastern Oregon a move has been set on foot to raise $800,000 with which wedding presents will be bought for Miss Alice Roosevelt on the day she and Representative Nicholas Longworth are married. Subscription papers are to be opened in every state in the Union. Frank Poston, a prominent attorney at law in Memphis, Tenn., was shot and almost instantly killed by a number of Christmas enthusiasts, who were promiscuously firing off their revolvers. Shooting with guns, revolvers, fire works and other explosives are indulged in throughout the South on Christmas the same as it is in the North on the Fourth of July, which accounts for the accident. Poston was white and the shooters were black, which explains why the accident was made an Associated Press article. The Associated Press declares that the casualties in the bloody Moscow conflict are not less than 19,000. The soldiers, the Czar has been informed, will remain loyal to the government. Of the 19,000 casualties 5,000 were fatal. Owing to a spirit of "good will to men" in a charitable form 200,000 poor persons ate sumptuous Christmas dinners in Greater New York at the various missions and other charitable institutions. During the year 1905 there were imported into the United States diamonds and other precious stones to the value of $36,000,000, which surpasses the figures of any previous year. Americans are great spenders and the year closing seems to be the banner one for spending money for costly jewelry. Wednesday. Viscount Suezo Aoki has been appointed Japanese ambassador to this country. An American ambassador to Japan will be appointed by President Roosevelt in the near future. The new Japanese ambassador is a noted diplomat, and his appointment gives general satisfaction at Washington City. Today's reports declare that the battle in Moscow is still raging in all its fury. The rioters, though considerably worsted, show no disposition to surrender. The political eyes of the entire country are turned toward New York, where a fierce battle is raging between President Roosevelt and Governor Higgins on one side and Boss Odell on the other. James W. Wadsworth is the candidate of the former and E. A. Merritt of the latter for speaker of the House of Representatives of the legislative assembly of New York Merritt is trying to create sympathy for his candidacy by spreading the report that the president is trying to control all the state legislatures, which is being vigorously denied. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Count Dubassoff informs Emperor Nicholas and Premier Witte that the revolt at Moscow has spent its force and the government is master of the situation. Russia's new electoral laws do not grant universal suffrage, as was previously reported. In the cities all working men in factories and mills, every owner of real estate paying taxes, persons conducting enterprises, persons paying a lodging tax or occupying separate lodgings and persons in the government service, including railroads, are entitled to vote at all elections. Thursday. The revolution at Moscow, instead of abating, is growing worse. Many women have joined the ranks of the rioters. The soldiers have done bloody work and a rioter is shot down on sight. The manager of Sarah Barnhardt has appealed to the French ambassador because the theatrical syndicate has barred Sarah from the leading theatres. The appeal will be thoroughly investigated by him, and if he finds she has been discriminated against some international complications may be the result. The advocates of a barge canal across the state of New York will ask the legislature for an appropriation of $40,000,000. Large sums will also be demanded for state road improvements. Secretary Hitchcock, in his annual report, recommends that the salaries of clerks in first and second class postoffices be increased. At present the $600 annual salary paid to such clerks is so small that good men will not enter the service. Reports from China seem to indicate that the boycott against the United States is spreading and that Chinamen in the rural districts are avoiding American goods. PEOPLE OF RUSSIA.

"GUILTY AFTER THE FACT" The Seattle Republican is publishing today a picture of the bench and bar of Seattle, which was taken some five years ago. That the newcomers to the bar may get an idea of who ran things before they came upon the scene they are invited to study it well. "I really believe," said a lawyer as he sat looking at the group of attorneys, that no community has a more brainy set of lawyers on a whole than is found there. They not only average well as men, but they have won distinction as barristers and many of them have made fortunes practicing the profession and that too on their merit. It would be useless for me to try to name the good lawyers among the bunch for there are ten good lawyers to every poor one among them, and each and every one is a fair representative of the legal profession and would rank way up whether in Seattle, San Francisco or New York." The Seattle Republican takes pleasure in publishing a picture in which represents so many talented men who on the whole wields such an influence in public affairs. The lawyer is always to the front in every public enterprise and he carries the secrets of more men and women in his mind than any other class of men in the world. While many new lawyers have come to town since the above picture was taken, yet an overwhelming majority of the above faces are still in Seattle and quite hold their own. Solon T. Williams, a well known attorney at law and erstwhile politician, was at the court house last Saturday, presumably attending to some court matter, and while waiting to get a whack at the particular judge before whom his business would come, told a story at his own expense: "After I had finished up my course at school I did not have very much money left, and while the president of the school had pronounced me an 'attorney at law,' I was by no means a lawyer, and I soon saw that if I expected to eat three squares a day I would have to get out and do something to earn it. As most young fellows do, I got a school to teach, and while I thought I was fairly successful, one of the directors took an aversion to me and gave me all kinds of trouble. I was compelled to mandamus him to get my money, and always had to wear a scowl on my face that would have stopped a clock whenever he was about lest he take an idea in his head that he could really lick me and try it. When my school was out and I had my money I went to town and took up my law studies, that I might begin active practice. One day while sitting at the window of my office, which was in a two-story building, my old antagonist drove under the window and reined up his horses when he saw me and laconically asked: 'Are you going to be a lawyer?' I replied yes, when he retorted: 'Well, I'll bet you will make a gosh darn poor one.' I have never forgotten the old fellow's prediction, and whenever I lose a case I always think the old hayseed was pretty nearly right after all.' "I am told," said a well known attorney one day this week that, "Bill Gay is one THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN of the best lawyers in the city. I have never butted up against him myself, but I have talked to fellows that have and I get my information from them, and they got theirs from sad experience. Well, some years ago, so a friend of mine told me the other day, Gay and himself were pitted against each other in the trial of a case. When Gay showed up in court it was plain to be seen, he continued, that he had taken one or two drinks more than was good for him. The court smiled, as did the clerk and the other bailiffs, and my friend confessed that he was rather pleased to see him with his bits on for it meant a big victory for him. He did not seem to care who was on the jury, though he did dismiss one or two of them, not because he cared anything about it, but to do something to make his client think he was earning his money. He accepted the jury almost without question, and this made my friend feel still better at his prospects for success. They began to take the testimony and it was there that he discovered that he had reckoned without his host and that, if he won the case he would have to hustle. To make a long story short my friend made one mistake in examining a witness and one in his argument, and Gay took up the two mistakes and handled them with such adroitness that he not only saved his client from having a judgment recorded against him, but the jury actually gave his client a judgment against the plaintiff. An appeal to the supreme court was threatened by the plaintiff. There had been no stenographer employed to report the case and so the attorneys and the litigants were called into consultation to make up a statement of facts and there he learned that Gay knew more about what was said during the trial than any one else connected with the case. Even the judge was surprised when Gay related the evidence on both sides almost like he had taken stenographic notes of it. Gay either feigned intoxication or he knows more when under the influence of intoxicants than does the average lawyer who is a temperance crank." Most everybody in Seattle, that is if they have been here for three years or more, remembers Lee Hart. If you happen not to know Lee it might be an easy way to introduce you to him by saying he is a brother of John B. Hart, one of the most successful lawyers in this county. Well, Lee was not only a lawyer, but a politician as well and, I am inclined to think, he was a lawyer only for reasons best known to himself. Once Lee was in a big Democratic convention in Seattle and he was the high cockalorium there. He nominated such men for the various county offices as suited his fancy. There were other "big" men in the convention, but they had to "go way back and sit down" when Lee commanded them to do so. Lee's committee on resolutions was sent to the committee rooms after he had given his trusted lieutenant careful instructions as to what to report. On the committee was Will H. Thompson, who at that time was something of a Democratic politician himself, and when Lee's chief henchman on the committee pulled out a set of resolutions that had been previously prepared by him and began to read them to the other members a smile played about the lips of the others and they looked at each other knowingly with as much to say, I told you so. The last resolutions closed with: "And we are in favor of turning the rascals out." Now, Thompson was something of a politician, too, and he offered an amendment to the resolution and the amendment ran like this: "And we are not in favor of turning any other rascals in." The committee scrapped considerably over its adoption, but it seemed innocent and so it was reported. Lee saw the point as soon as it was read and he jumped four feet in the air. He fought it to a perfect standstill. Thompson worked equally hard for its adoption, but the Harts were in control and voted it down. The nominees of that convention were elected and in "turning the rascals out" some pretty tough rascals were turned in. "Have you moved?" was asked of a well known lawyer one day this week. "Not if I know anything about it," promptly came in reply. "Probably I will have to move before very long," he, however, soliloquized. In reply to why he replied: "Well, the landlord was in my office trying to collect rent yesterday and when I told him I did not have any money he reminded me that I had not paid my rent for a number of months. No, I replied. Well, the building in which my office is, is one of the poorest in the city and it occurred to me that I had a splendid opportunity to tell him about how poorly it was kept and so I looked up at him and said: Well, sir, if I had money to pay rent, do you think I would stay in this miserable block? It must have hit him hard, for he turned and walked out of my office without saying another word. He looks daggers at me every time he sees me now, and I would not be surprised if he did not serve notice on me in a few days more to pay up my rent in three days or pick up my duds and go." --- "Lawyers as a general thing are not lucky, but I think Mayor R. A. Ballinger is the luckiest lawyer that ever went into public life," said a well known lawyer one day this week. He was elected mayor of Seattle in spite of bitter opposition. He cleaned the town up from a moral standpoint when the business men of the city doubted the advisability of attempting such a thing. He is now being pursued by both the business men and the gambling element to accept a nomination for a second term, to which he turns a deaf ear. But the luckiest thing of all is the three leading daily papers of the city are all personal supporters of his and such a coincident would not happen again in a quarter or a half of a century. The Post-Intelligencer management is not unfriendly to him and then the paper is his party organ and must commend his public acts. Blethen of the Times is a warm personal friend of the mayor and never loses an opportunity to say something nice about him, and the mayor is the attorney for the Star Publishing Company, hence it never has anything but kind words for him. I would not be afraid to bet my interest in Hades that another coincident like it would not happen in a century, especially in a Western town Continued on Page 6 THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN FRIDAY, DEC. 29, 1905.

A great majority of the voters of this city want to see Ballinger's ideas continued, but it will be a hard matter for his successor to do so, for even if his policy is continued by his successor such successor will be severely criticised by one or the other of those daily papers and perhaps two of them. I therefore repeat, Dick Ballinger is the luckiest lawyer that ever went down the pike. The superior court of this county having taken a week's vacation for the Christmas holidays the county commissioners took time by the forelock and are endeavoring to put the court rooms in a condition where more light could be thrown on the legal tangles that are constantly coming before the presiding judges. That there has been grave needs of additional light on the legal problems up for disposal from time to time even the judges themselves have publicly admitted and so the electricians decided they could help them out and have been busy this week stringing electric lights in the court rooms that in the future the gorgeous chandeliers in the various rooms would shine forth in all their radiant glory and be useful as well as ornamental. The six judges have been contending as to which of the number would occupy the court room on the second floor just over the jail and in close proximity to the jail kitchen. None of them wanted the place and all because that they are compelled to smell corn beef and cabbage while they are trying their case, which is an annoying sensation. To smell corn beef and cabbage and cannot get to it, is like the country boy's love poem, "It's nice to love, but oh how bitter to love a gal and then can't git her," and the judges are quite right in not wanting to hold court in that particular room. This objection on the part of the judges reminds the writer of a man who lived quite a ways in the country and went to a neighboring store to get a jug of whisky for sickness and snake bites. On his way home he sampled the contents of the jug quite freely and when he reached a certain high stake and ridered fence he was pretty well loaded, and not being able to get over with the jug in his arms he threw it over and thought he would be able to pull himself over, but he was not. In throwing the jug over the stopper flew out and the whisky began running out of the mouth of the jug and giving forth the gutteral sound of "good, good, good, good." He leaned up against the fence and looked wistful at it and finally said in a disgusted response to its "good." "Yes, I know you are good, but I can't get to you." That corn beef and cabbage is good, but the judge can't get to it and it must make him feel like saying, "dam it." THE HAPPY FAMILY. Our dear Republican friends just now seem to have ran up against a sea of troubles at many places in the state. At Walla Walla dissension is rife; in the Western Washington insane asylum, at the Orting Soldiers' Home, at the Chehalis reform school and at THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN the Vancouver institution for defective youth trouble has been brewing or is in an active stage of ferment. The last of these is the rupture at Vancouver, when a member of the board of control last Sunday demanded a resignation from James Watson, superintendent of the school. This order was not complied with, and it is not the first time Watson has successfully opposed attempts of former administrations to remove him from the position. He has held it 18 years, does about as he pleases, and his self-imposed duties consist merely of those of a looker-on and general director. The board has thought that he might assist in the class work and be his own steward and accountant. This Mr. Watson refuses to do. They think also that he should follow instructions with regard to supplies, and purchase them at stated intervals in sufficient quantity to get wholesale rates. This advice is ignored, and he now, it is said, proposes to ascertain whether it may not be possible for himself, as tail, to wholly waggle the dog he has kept running in a circle so long. It is more than probable, however, he will fail in the attempt and break his neck in the dull thud that will soon strike the public ear. W. N. Marshall, now temporarily in charge, is a man of considerable experience in this and a similar institution of another state.—Colfax Commoner. POLITICAL POT-PIE It is currently reported that Eugene Lorton, the recently deposed editor of the Ankeny organ at Walla Walla, will start a paper in opposition to the Union, which will be backed by the Walla Walla Boxers. Among those who have and are now opposing Senator Ankeny in that locality is ex-Governor Miles C. Moore, and being a man of considerable means, if he decides to organize the Boxers, back a daily paper as their organ and put Mr. Lorton at its head they will make it very uncomfortable for the man who spent a million dollars to have himself elected to the United States Senate. Should such a paper be started the Boxers of Whitman county might think well the proposition and a very influential paper be built up on very short notice. There is something of a field in that section for a good morning paper that would be anti-Ankeny in policy, and no one need be surprised to see it put in its appearance. * * * There is much casting about for a candidate for the United States Senate in opposition to Senator Ankeny, and if a Moses is found there will be something doing. Representative Jones is the logical candidate, but he is a man of no money and therefore could not give the move the proper financial nourishment. He already has the moral support of the entire eastern part of the state, but to make a senatorial campaign in this day and age it takes more than moral support it takes money support. There are two available men in that section who might make the fight, and they are Charley Sweeny of Spokane and Miles C. Moore of Walla Walla. Either one of them have sufficient money to make it interesting for either Senator Ankeny of any one he might back. If one or FRIDAY, DEC. 29, 1905. the other of these two men would actively get into the fight, and if they could get the moral support of Representative Jones, it can be said without fear of successful contradiction that Senator Ankeny would not get a dozen votes in the next senatorial campaign. *** The mayoralty puzzle in Seattle is no nearer solution this week than last. No Moses has shown up as yet, though the stock of John F. Miller has moved forward a couple of notches. It is believed by a great many folk in Seattle that Mr. Miller, if elected, would re-establish the Tom Humes policy. If, therefore, he really desires the nomination for mayor, it is up to him to in some way disabuse their minds of that mistake, for mistake it is, in the opinion of the Pie-maker. No other candidate is even being talked of in Republican circles. The Democrats are holding off with the view of profiting by any mistake the Republicans may make. * * * The Republican city central committee will meet the first Saturday in January to make the apportionment of delegates to the various wards and precincts, and this promises to be a very interesting meeting. In most of the wards new precincts have been created, and it is utterly impossible to tell which precinct is entitled to the most delegates and which the less. The various ward committeemen will have the say, and their say must be ratified by the entire committee. There will be considerable squabbling in the Second, the Third, the Seventh, the Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh wards, and the squabbling may be so severe as to almost cause a split in the party, especially in those wards where the rivalry for the nomination for councilman will be sharp. This will be especially true of the Second and Seventh wards, where two bitter fights are already being waged for the Republican nomination to the council. * * * Mayor Ballinger has made his annual appointments. City Engineer Thomson is to be continued on the board of public works and his appointment is hailed with general satisfaction. It is a fact that no city in the entire West boasts of as competent a city engineer as Mr. Thomson, and it is a shame that the city council does not raise his salary in proportion to the services he renders the city. The mayor did not see fit to reappoint F. F. Randolph on the civil service board, and there is no weeping on account of it. Randolph ought to have been let out years ago. F. A. McDonald, one of the most honorable gentlemen in the city, is named on the civil service board, instead of Randolph. Dr. I. M. Harrison is given a place on the board of health. * * * Last week's Pie-maker said Francis Sawyer of the Fourth ward was a candidate for mayor, which was incorrect. Mr. Sawyer is a candidate for the nomination of ward councilman and thus far no opposition has developed against him. *** "It's a mistake," said a Fourth ward politician, "that Irving T. Cole has withdrawn from the mayoralty race. He is still very much a candidate and will use every honorable means to secure the nomination.
