Mutiny may be running riot in Russia, but it seems more in the newspapers than in the wilds. A double telephone system in any city is a nuisance and the same is equally applicable of a double street car system. It occurs to us that the methods of the King County News and the King County Republican Club are rather raw. The editor of this paper having been drawn on the September jury term leads him to think "the Lord takes care of his own." The count in the First ward was very crooked and those responsible for it should be arrested, and put on trial for the same. Yes, sent to the penitentiary. "Saw it in the Times? Damn lie." You of course saw it in the Times that Esther Mitchell was near death's door. Well, it was a ____. We suggest a ring and a couple of pairs of eight-ounce gloves as the most satisfactory way for Dr. Crichton and Hi Gill to settle their troubles. Who can deny that there was a "hot time" in Seattle last Wednesday forenoon when the circus band made music for the parade and two fires at one and the same time? Democracy in Idaho is dealing death blows to Mormonism with the hope of enlisting the support of the women voters, and it looks like it was a clever lead. Let's be thankful that the fire department succeeded in controlling the fire in the Washington block, stubborn at it was, for if it had not, half of Seattle would have gone up in the flames. Dancing the can-can is not only easy, but enjoyable on the part of Johnny Rockerfeller, he of Sunday school fame, when the other fellow is sending indictment shots at his feet. There will be some nominations in King county for the legislature that United States Senator Piles will not dictate even if he does throw his strength against them after the convention and defeat them at the polls. They can stand it if he can. Seattle's new health board proposes to institute a vigorous inspection of the bakeries of the city, which it is said is sadly needed. How strange that one man would wilfully sell to his fellowman food that he knows to be unclean. ```markdown ``` SEATTLLE, WASHINGTON, AUGUST 17, 1906. ROOT AND CROW WERE MALIGNED A few weeks ago the Union Record made a vicious attack on Judges Milo A. Root and Herman D. Crow by declaring they had gone out of their PETER H. BURKE way to injure the laboring man in their decisions on the bench. The Seattle Republican believing the attack unwarranted and prompted by some one other than a laboring man, has looked up the facts and found that both Root and Crow have proved to be the laboring man's true friend, which true friend, which MILO A. ROOT statement is borne out by their acts which are now of public record. During the comparatively short time that Judge Root has been on the bench—about a year and a half—he has written the opinions in the following personal injury damage cases, deciding them in favor of plaintiffs, toowit: Brennan vs. Seattle, 39 Wash., 640. Prior vs. Eggert, 39 Wash., 481. Shaw vs. Seattle, 39 Wash., 590. Carlson vs. White Star Steamship Co., 39 Wash., 395. Williams vs. Ballard Lumber Co., Vol. 2, No. 7, p. 401. Wash. Dec. Leason v. Saw Mill Phoenix, Vol. 2, No. 8, p. 469, Wash. Dec. Schulze vs. O. R. & N. Ry. Co., Vol. 2, No. 12, p. 614, Wash. Dec. Creamer v. Moran Bros., Vol. 2, No. 13, p. 630, Wash. Dec. Bell vs. McGrath, not reported, decided July 21, 1906. Probably other cases. It will be noticed that most of the foregoing cases were against wealthy and influential corporations. In the Brennan case his fairness and fearlessness were well shown. A poor woman was injured on a defective street in Seattle; hence on one side of the case was a woman without money, vote or influence, and on the other side Judge Root's home city, with its fifteen or twenty thousand votes. He decided the case favorable to the woman and used very plain and forcible language in so doing—language which it would be well for anybody to read who thinks Judge Root has no sympathy with poor people or is afraid to do his duty when strong influences are one the other side. His sympathy for helpless and unfortunate people is well shown in his opinion in the case of Landus vs. Wintermute, Vol. 2, No. 3, p. 103, Wash. Dec., and in his dissenting opinion in the case of Mann vs. Provident Life Ins. Co., 3 Wash., No. 10, p. 481, Wash. Dec. Since the decision of Hall vs. West & Slade Mill Co. (the case involving the question of assumed risk under the factory act of 1903), both Judge Root and Judge Crow have followed the majority opinion in that case, joining in the decisions in the following and other cases, towit: Drugless v. Northwestern Imp. Co., Vol. 2, No. 8, p. 450, Wash. Dec. Whelan v. Wash. Lmbr. Co., Vol. 2, No. 5, p. 255, Wash Dec. Hoveland v. Hall Bros. Ry. Co., Vol. 225, p. 263, Wash. Dec. Hanson v. Seattle Lmbr. Co., Vol. 2, No. 7, p. 10, Wash. Dec. That case has also been followed in several other cases. Both Judge Crow and Judge Root have joined in the decision of cases against the following big corporations: PRICE TEN CENTS. The labor unions and laboring men generally have always been much interested in the eight hour law. About a year ago an attempt was made to strike down this law. One of the superior court judges held the law unconstitutional. An appeal was taken to the supreme court. Judge Root wrote the opinion of that court, reversing the lower court and upholding the eight hour law. Judges Crow, Dunbar and Mount concurred in his opinion. This was the case of Normile v. Thompson, 37 Wash., 465. A few weeks ago another case came before the supreme court involving the eight hour law with reference to contractors working for counties. The lower court held that the law had been repealed, but Judge Crow, writing the opinion of the supreme court, reversed the lower court and held the eight hour law to still be in effect. Judge Root and three other judges concurred in Judge Crow's opinion. Two of the judges dissented. It will thus be seen that Judges Root and Crow wrote the opinion in two cases upholding the eight hour law, and that their votes were necessary for a majority of the court required to reverse the decision of the lower court in each case. Among the damage cases where the opinions were written by Judge Crow, favorable to the plaintiff, are the following: Davis v. Seattle, 79 Pac., 784; also 37 Wash., 223. Hart v. Cascade Timber Co., 39 Wash., 279; also 81 Pac. 38. Fowler v. Harrison, 39 Wash., 617. Cole v. Seattle R Renton Ry. Co., 85 Pac., 3. Woods v. Globe Navigation Co., 82 Pac., 44. Peterson v. Seattle, 82 Wash., 141. One of the above cases cited (Woods v. Globe Navigation Co.) was a case in which Judge Root was attorney for the defendant before going on the bench, and, of course, took no part in the supreme court. Judge Crow decided this case against the client of Judge Root. Judge Rudkin did the same thing in the case of Rector v. Bryant Lumber & Shingle Mill Co., and Judge Crow concurred in the opinion, the decision being against the client of Judge Rudkin. This is mentioned to show that the members of the court are controlled by what they believe right in a case, even if their associate members are involved. Certain cases that Judge Crow had before going upon the bench and cases decided by Judge Rudkin in the superior curt have been decided by the supreme court contrary to the views held by these judges in the lower court, Judge Root having written two or three of such cases himself. Judge Crow was a member of the state senate when much of the so-called labor legislation was enacted. The following are a few references to 1899 session, Senate bill No. 28, barbers' bill, Crow voted aye.—Journal, p. 284. Senate bill No. 78, by committee on labor, relating to coal mine inspector. Crow voted aye.—Journal, p. 430. Senate bill No. 152, to prevent blackmailing, Crow voted aye. Seattle Electric Company. Seattle & Renton Railway Company. White Star Steamship Company.

The record shows numerous other instances of his actively supporting legislation asked for by the labor unions and laboring men. In private life both Crow and Root have been identified with and liberal contributors to numerous charity organizations, hospitals and other institutions for the relief of the helpless, and nothing in their lives has manifested any disposition showing a lack of sympathy with working men, poor people or unfortunates of any kind. In view of the fact that the Negroes have not been disfranchised in this state we suggest to the Municipal Ownership Party that it would have been vote getting policy at least to have had one of them on that committee of seventy-five. If Buster Bryan desires to sit and listen at the debates in the House of Commons forever we willingly give our consent, and he may take Buster Blethen with him if he likes. People will spend their money to go to the circus. They look forward to and plan for it months ahead, hence it is an easy matter for the circus to pick up a small fortune in a two-day show business in Seattle. Only the "well behaved" will be allowed to go on the Chehalis rock pile. They will not have been there long before they will become very badly behaved if that will but relieve them from the rock pile. New heirs are constantly being manufactured for the John Sullivan estate, but why not? as the new ones would seem to have just as much right to the estate as the old ones. We believe there are no rightful heirs but the state of Washington and King county. And the Milwaukee is to be built down the Cedar River right-of-way. That should be quite a feather in Mr. Hughes' cap in the eyes of the company, as it will save the company many thousands of dollars in not having to purchase a right-of-way from the farmers. It pays to be smooth. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN SEATTLE WANTS THE WORLD From a suburban exchange, which is fighting annexation to Seattle, the following rather clever lines are reproduced : The shades of night were falling fast, As o'er a western prairie passed A youth of presence gaunt and thin (But vast the shoes he traveled in). He'd ridden ninety miles that day, Nor seen a shed where he could stay; "Oh, where am I?" at last he groaned; A passing stranger softly moaned: "Seattle." He sped through fields of luscious wheat Untrod for months by human feet; He roamed o'er pastures never mown, Through forests wild and overgrown; He forded rivers still unnamed, Saw dusky redskins, yet untamed! "Where am I now?" he madly cried. An Indian maiden sadly sighed— "Seattle." Still on he sped, nor stopped to gaze Upon the waiving fields of maize; Up rocky slopes he madly flew, Up peaks where naught but lichens grew— Land of eternal snow and hail— Ane read there: "City Lots For Sale !" "What place is this?" he wildly howled. A hungry grizzly fiercely growled: "Seattle," Half crazed, as by some unknown dread, He northward turned his horse's head; For many months he journeyed on To the icy land of the Midnight Sun; But at the very pole he found Them staking streets on the frozen ground He asked them why—this was the clew; "You see, they've just annexed us, to Seattle." There, on the ice, at break of day, Lifeless, but beautiful he lay, A bottle of poison in his grasp, A pen still in his frozen grasp, With which he'd traced upon the snow The words which follow here below: "Eureka! I have kept my vow; Forever, I've escaped thee now, Seattle." Much of the above is true, and it will give the stranger some idea of what the "Seattle Spirit" really is. It shows how energetic and untiring in her efforts to get there Seattle is. No greater compliment from so feeble a source could have been paid Seattle. John T. Mitchell aspires to go to the house of representatives of the next legislature from the forty-seventh legislative district, and a more deserving one, from a Republican standpoint, never announced his candidacy for office than he. John has helped everybody from time to time and now everybody should help him. SEATTE VS. CHICAGO Chicago now has 42 colored doctors. Among the leading colored doctors in Chicago are Dr. Mackey, Dr. A. A. Wesley, Dr. A. L. Smith, Dr. George C. Hall, Dr. Wilberforce A. Williams. We have now 37 colored lawyers and ten colored dentists in Chicago. Those that take high rank in the profession of dentistry are Dr. Charles E. Bently and Dr. W. T. Jefferson. There are now 35 colored churches. The colored population of Chicago is now 79,000. We have 60 colored men now on the police force as police officers.—Exchange. Seattle has a Negro population of only about 2, 000, and she has one physician and surgeon, Dr. D. T. Cardwell; four attorneys-at-law, one policeman, one pound master, two dog impounders and five employes in the postoffice, which beats Chicago out of sight in comparison to the population.

The chief object of the meeting will be to arrange for representation at the Negro Business Men's League to be held at Atlanta, Ga., August 29th, 30th and 31st. Some statistics concerning the Afro-Americans in Seattle as to their busienss, professions and property earnings in the city are to be compiled and a public address put forth to be presented to the League. Let every one who can attend and render whatever assistance possible to arriving at the property valuation of the Afro-American in the city and how many Afro-Americans in the city and county. Let's try to have a hall full and overflowing next Sunday. Meeting called to order at 4 o'clock p. m. BISHOP A. GRANT HERE. Bishop Grant, who is in the city will preach at Lee's Chapel Sunday at 11 o'clock a. m. and at 8 o'clock p. m. He will lecture at the church Monday evening on "Some of the Difficult Problems That Now Confront the American People." He will leave Tuesday morning for Tacoma where he will preside over the annual conference of the Puget Sound district of the A. M. E. Church. The district includes Washington, Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia, which is the largest district in the connection, yet the smallest as to actual membership. Pastors from Spokane, Seattle, Everett, Tacoma and Portland will be present. The conference will convene Wednesday and will be in session until Sunday evening, August 29th. An invitation has been extended to the Bishop to visit the Sunday Forum at 4 o'clock, but it is not known whether or not he will do so. REV. MR. SMALL TALKS. The Rev. Sam Small, who is holding evangelistic services in Indianapolis, has had something to say on the race question. We give quotation to a portion of an interview recently published in a daily paper: "The South? It is still Democratic and likely to remain so until we can shift a large part of our Negro population across the Potomac and Ohio rivers. The Negro problem in this country can not be permanently settled util the Negroes are as widely scattered through our whole territory as are other racial elements of our population." Eliminating the political aspect of his preachments, he struck the nail squarely on the head when he said: "The Negro problem in this country can not be permanently solved until the Negroes are as widely scattered through our whole territory as are other racial elements of our population." Disregarding the spirit in which this was said, and the motives actuating the reverend gentleman, it is a pretty safe proposition to govern the Negro in his future activities and relations. There is an expressive word picture in Holy Scripture: "The children of Joseph spake unto Joshua saying, what hast thou given me but one lot and one part of an inheritance." * * * And Joshua said unto them: "If thou be a great people, get thee up to the forests and cut down for thyself." In other words, if you want more territory go and win it; conquer it for yourself. Use the strength of which you boast; fight like men; do not whine like children; go and win your inheritance; cut down the forests; make room for yourselves. We prefer to take Joshua's advice to the children of Joseph rather than the Rev. Mr. Small's advice to the Negro. For we have more confidence in old Joshua than we have patience with the Rev. Mr. Small. However, the language of both contain wholesome advice for all who are regarding circumstances rather than opportunities. Let the new battle cry for the Negro be: "Scatter out and subdue the earth." It is noticeable from a sociological THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN standpoint that where Negroes live in large numbers prejudice and race hatred are his portion. On the other hand, where he is sparcely settled conditions are different. He is not admitted on terms of social equality—he does not seek that—but he is permitted to feel that he is a man. The messages of Sam Small and honest Joshua present the cue for the ever complaining Negro.—Indianapolis World. AMERICAN NOMENCLATURE By. E. P. Powell. Editrr And Author. Admitting Oklahoma and Indian Territory, and New Mexico and Arizona into two single states under the titles of Oklahoma and Arizona is a notably good movement in the way of nomenclature, which will be welcomed by every rational American. It is lamentable that our geat Empire state must forever wear the name of an English nobleman, who bears no relation to American history, and the commonwealth boasting of Trenton and Valley Forge must carry down through time the name of an island chiefly famous for its cows. Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Alabama, Mississippi, Vermont, Massachusetts and Oregon are not only pleasant to the ear, but they are also to the manner born. Kansas, Montana, Iowa, and Kentucky are good illustrations of what we can do. But wherever the naming of states and towns has fallen into the hands of learned committees, the result has been provoking tautology. Besides the Clintons in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, and a dozen other states, there are in New York state alone seventeen Clintons in various shades and forms. There is no reason why in our affectation for George Clinton and DeWitt, honorable governors and great leaders in their day, New York state should tolerate this sprinkling of their names over its postoffices and its townships. There is a commercial side to the question, for bushels of letters are carried astray every year. Those who suppose that Hastings-on-Hudson is a bit of affectation, will find that there is in the same state a Hastings and a Hastings Center o be taken account of in mailing their letters. Not a state in the Union but is suffering from this wretched lack of oversight on the part of our postoffice department. One of the worst illustrations of absurd and unmeaning naming of towns occurred in New York, when the classical dictionary was poured all over the central part of the state; dropping around the Oriskany Hills, the Mohawk Flats, and the Niagara and Ontario Valley, such un-American names as Utica, Syracuse, Rome, Homer, Claudius, Virgil, Manlius, Cicero, Carthage; to say nothing of Poland Russia, Mexico and other foreign titles—displacing sonorous Indian names and ignoring others either descriptive or commemorative. West Virginia should have been Kanawha. as was proposed at the time of its admission, and the noble name of Dakota should have been spared a prefix adjective giving the equally noble name of Cheyenna an honored place on our roll of states. SOUTHERN MAN IMPOSSIBLE CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENCY. A Southern paper, it seems, the Charleston News and Courrier, admits that no Southern man would have a "ghost of a show" for election as a Democratic candidate for the presidency. It also admits this is because of the Southern attitude on the suffrage for Colored men. On this point it says: "Let us suppose a Southern man nominated for president, and interrogated, as undoubtedly he would be, on this point. The Republicans would seize upon it at once, if for no other reason than to influence the Negro vote, which is large, in a number of Middle and Eastern States. What reply should we have? If the candidate attempted to dodge he would be counted as against the amend- ments, and if he recorded himself openly against them he would be asked about the oath of office which as president he would be required to take. How could he swear to "protect and defend the constitution" in the face of an opinion that a portion of it is not binding, and with the konwledge that it had been disregarded in his behalf as a candidate?" On this the Boston Herald says: "There is point in these suggestions. They may well give pause to the Southern men who are now glibly declaiming against the validity of the war amendments, or advocating their repeal, although the national Democratic party has formally accepted them as a settlement of the race questions that arose after emancipation. The nation believes in the validity of these amendments and any unpatriotic intention on the part of the Southerners to nullify them will be overwhelmingly condemned. John Sharp Williams, the Democratic leader in the house, has declared that he is tired of following Northern men to party defeat. But there has been no defeat of the Democratic party with a Northern candidate that would be comparable to the defeat it would invite by nominating a Southern man who holds that the war amendments are not binding, and refuses to give pledges to support them as a substantial part of the constitution, as commanding in their obligation as any other portions of the organic law of the land." Let the vaunting Vardaman take note. Thank God the white Southerners suffer a little disadvantage from violation of what the Herald so aptly called the "Liberty Amendments" to the constitution the tolerance of which by the Republican administration is simply scandalous.—Boston Guardian. A MILLIONAIRE NEGRESS. (For The Times-Democrat, New Orleans, Aug. 5, 1906.) The boundary lines which separate the lands of the Creek, Cherokee and Osage Indians converge to a point in the north central part of the new State of Oklahoma. A few miles south of this point, in the Creek Nation, lives a little Negro girl named Isabel Lewis, the daughter of a Negro who was formerly a Creek slave. This little girl owns eighty acres of land, part of her allotment, in the new "Glen Pool" oil district, which is giving her an income such as only millionaires can have. There are three oil wells on her land, each of which is producing 1,000 barrels of oil per day, and each of which is capable of having its daily capacity doubled. It is the announced intention of the company that has leased her land to put down seven more wells. If they each produce as much as those already drilled, and there is no reason to doubt it, her royalty of one-eighth of the entire amount produced at fifty-two cents per barrel, the present market price of oil, will give her a daily income of $650, or an annual income of $237,000. At 5 per cent that amount would be the interest on a capital of nearly $5,000,-000. Under the lease which Isabel Lewis has granted to the operators who have leased her land and which was approved by the Secretary of the Interior, the oil which is her daily share is turned into the pipe line of the Standard Oil Company and the money it represents is at once placed to her credit. Josephine Morrison, another little Negro girl, twelve years of age, the daughter of a Creek freedman, has an allotment of 160 acres in the oil-producing district, surrounded on all sides by flowing wells. The Morrison girl has her tract leased on a royalty of one-eighth of all oil produced. The lessees of this tract intend to drill at least twenty wells as fast as the oil can be taken care of by the Standard Oil people. The father of the Morrison, as well as the father of the Lewis girl, has been appointed guardian of his daughter. Their guardianship, however, is only nominal, for the reason that every act of the guardians must be approved by Secretary Hitchcock. This scrutiny of accounts, particularly in the expenditure of money, by the United States Secretary of the Interior can not help but result in making both the Morrison and Lewis girls very wealthy women when they arrive at legal age. Page 4 POLITICAL POT-PIE. A controversy has arrisen between the Republican Central Committee in Whitman county and the mem- bers of the Whitman County Editoral Association, in which the various nominees of the Republican party haye been drawn. The Central Committee members are inclined to believe that the various ed- itors have combined for the purpose of grafting the party, and they do not propose to scand for it, while the editors make bold to announce that they do not have to support the Republican party, and if they do support the party either the committee or the nomi- nees themselves will have to pay for it. Ifthe man seeks the office it is quite evident he has a selfish motive in doing so. He has a getting-olf place some- where, tor he is not seeking it for sweet charity’s sake, and therefore he wants the newspapers to help him get that office, through which he expects to ac- complist. certain ends, and he should be willing to pay for such support; for every liue of type that an editor has set up is juss so much money out of the pockets of the owner of the paper, and why should an office-seeker expect a newspaper man to take money out of his own pocket to help him get an of- fice? It isa noticable fact that as soon as an office- seeker realizes that he has no more show to hold the office he at once notifies the various weekly papers that he can no longer afford to subscribe for them, and to therefore discontinue sending the same to him at once. In the past, ‘‘office-seekers’”? have been able to play one paper off against another, by getting them to scrapping and thereby get all the support necessary for nothing; but the program in Whitman county has been changed, and now they are declar- ing that the newspapers have combined to graft them. Pay for what you get, if you would enjoy it, atid if you want a boost by a newspaper pay for it the same as if you would order a dinner from a restaurant or a dink of-whisky from a drain shop. THE DIRECT PRIMARY From many quarters the Oregonian receives in- quiries as to the effects produced by the primary law of Oregon on the course of polities in the state. It is difficult to say much, since the experiment is so new. One thing, however, is certain, namely, that the method of primary nomination, as tried thus far in Oregon, indicates effective suppression of the old machine methods of politics. A minority, and a small one, where there are many candidates for an office, may make a nomination not accept- able to a whole party; but party managers can no longer make nominations. Formerly the candi- dates were all, or nearly all, the candidates of the politicians. Now they may be the candidates of the people, or of a considerable body of them. To. one objection, however, our primary law is open; and it is a serious objection, It compels men who might be willing to take office to become office- seekers; to get out ‘‘petitions’’ and get them signed; to make direct appeal to the people for nomination; to trumpet their own merits and push their own claims.. This is a sorry busines. No reflection is intended on any; but office-seek- ing is a pursuit in which men of worth and sensibil- ity do not like to engage. It is felt, indeed, to speak plainly, that office-seeking is not the calling of a gentleman. There is something in the greed itself—or in the desire, if a softer word is wanted— and more in the immodesty of the declaration and effort, which make the man an object of critical re_ THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN A ‘. oo STEVE G. MEEK. Every man that has operated in King County politics for the past twenty years knows and fa- miliarly knows Steve Meek, and it can be said without fear of successful contradition that he has materially helped every Republican that has been nominated for an office since he has been a resident oi the county, and now that he him- self is a candidate for the nomination of county assessor it would seem that, those whom he has assisted would reciprocate. Mr. Meek has de* yoted not only his time and talent, but his money also for the success of the party, and the Sixth ward, where he has lived during all the years he has been in Seattle, has always done its part for the G..O, P. No man ever knew of Steve Meek deserting the party or its nominees or sulking in his tent, whether the candidates were personally pieasing to, him or not. In other words, he is wholly unselfish in his support of the Republican nominees. Should he be nominated and elected county assessor he would give a’ good account of himself in-that capacity.. Though always active in politics he has never been elected to a public office and only twice held deputyships under coun- ty officials. ss mark. And the sensitive man is hurt in his own es- timation. . I On the other side it is urged that-this is less an evil than that of contriving and scheming to control conventions, elect delegates and get nominations, in the old way, through the aid of machine organi- zations. ,Without attempting to reconcile differ- ences of opinion on the point, it may be said with certainty that the new system will stand in Oregon because, the advantages it brings seem to overbear all possible objections to it.. Of these advantages the chief one. is this, namely, that the new method breaks machines, smashes rings and puts the pro- fessional politician out of business. Against such a fact.no sentimental objection, thus far,. could have any weight with the body of the people. —Ore- gonian. BOSS CROCKER, THE JNION AND THE DIRECT PRIMARY The editorial in this morning’s issue of the Union Is the first announcement of the Crocker ma- chine organ on the question of a direct primary, and is a specious but weak and silly argument against the enactment of the proposed law, This was ex- pected. It is only natural that B. D. Crocker should object to a direct primary law. The high and mighty Tacoma boss would speedily be out of a SAMS USL Af, LIUU job if he allowed such a provision to be enacted. Of course he objects. 2 The direct primary gives the people the right to name party candidates. Under its provisions a ma- chine boss cannot call a few of his slavish sattelites about him and arrange a slate of the party through- out the state, from governor to game wardens and constables. When such a law is placed on our stat” ute books the best people only can hope to secure the endorsement of the people of their party for nomination to office. A candidate will be answer- able only to the people who have endorsed his can- didacy, and will not be the puppet of the boss who so graciously allowed him to have his name on a party ticket, Under sucha law the people name thair own candidates for office, and political bosses take to the woods. The Crocker organ does not attack the primary law directly, but begins by averring that it might support a good one if the people decide they want it. It is ever thus. Machine bosses usually have a good supply of brains, and it is never their eustom to openly advocate a bad law or directly attack a goodone. They are too wise. Lcng experience has taught them that a show of civic purity before the public better enables them to pursue their wicked ways in quietness and peace. The argument is advanced that the people should oppose a direct primary law because John L. Wil- son is favorable to its enactment. It would im- press its readers with the statement that but one law on the subject of a direct primary has ever been outlined or conceived by any individual in the great state of Washington, and that is a wicked bill gotten out by Wilson which he has persuaded all the people of the state to believe is the only possible law on the subject. The Union argues that there is not an honest advocate of primary re- form in the whole state, because they have all join- ed together to secure the enactment of the law, and John L. Wilson is one of those who have joined in the movement. Because Wilson’s paper favors the direct primary, every follower or believer in the reform movement in the state must necessarily be in league with the ex-senator to secure the adoption of a bad, wicked law. So argues Crock- er’s organ. The direct primary law is sure to come. The de tails of the measure can be safely left to the people If Crocker’s henchmen frame the bill it is: not rea- sonable or natural to expect a measure that will give the relief desired by the common people, but public sentiment in favor of a good law is so strong that it will be difficult for legislators to pass a bill that is not honestly drawn. B. D. Crocker’s or the Daily Union’s ideas of a good primary law would be curious indeed. But the boss nor his organ will be allowed to frame the measure. Its form will be such as to strike terror to the spinal cord of Mr. Crocker and his lieutenants, but it will meet the ap- proval of the people —Walla Walla Bulletin. My office and my official record are an open book and on them I rest my case for a renomination and election. I am a candidate to succeed myself as sheriff of King county, subject to the pleasure of the next Republican county convention. LOU C. SMITH. FOR COUNTY CLERK, Believing that I have the approval of every man, woman and child that have done business with the county clerk’s office the past eighteen months, as having done my duty and my whole duty without fear or favor, I hereby announce my candidacy for the nomination of county clerk, subject to the endorsement of the next Republican county convention. If nominate and elected my second term shall be like unto my first. OTTO A. CASE. August 17, 190 M. H. CHESTER EATON for county assessor is the only logical candidate that is in the field so far. Experience is the first quality in any business, and if combined with good common sense, generally wins. Mr. Eaton has the experience and also good common sense. He does not toot his own horn very much, and is of a quiet and sensitive disposition. But his friends all know that he is in the utmost sense perfectly qualified for the position of assessor, and that his word is as good as gold. There is no detail connected with the assessor's office that he does not know. He has the promise of fourfifths of all the county precincts and about one-half of Seattle for his support. Having made his home for the past 18 years in King county, he is very fortunately qualified for the place of assessor of King county. He is endorsed by many of the leading business firms of Seattle, who are perfectly willing to leave their interests in his hands as pertaining to assessments. The assessor's office has increased in importance the past few years and it requires a large amount of intelligence and experience which is absolutely necessary. Mr. Eaton possesses these attributes, as his many friends can testify, and if given a square deal will win out in the convention. [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie and a flower on his lapel]. W. G. POTTS. In seeking a renomination for state senator from the Thirty-fifth senatorial district, Senator W. G. Potts is in the hands of his friends and for their guidance he offers his record in the senate during the two terms he has already served as state senator from the district. His activity in the senate is readily seen from the number of bills he introduced and successfully piloted through both branches of the legislature, some of which THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN are considered the very important laws of this state. It can be truthfully said there was not a more popular member of the legislature than Billy Potts, and if he returns his usefulness as a legislator will be increased a hundredfold. "I shall make no combinations nor enter no schemes to secure a re-nomination," said the senator one day this week. "I am simply in the hands of the Republicans of the district to be done with, so far as a re-nomination is concerned, as they deem best. I desire the nomination and will gladly accept the same, but if my record is not sufficient recommendation for the party to give me a second nomination, as is the custom in Republican circles, when an official has done his duty, then I will not enter into any wild scramble for it, and most assuredly will not become a party to any underhanded schemes to succeed." It is very generally believed at this writing that Potts will receive the endorsement of the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth precincts of the Fifth ward in the primaries, which will practically be the unanimous endorsement of the district. Mr. Potts is not selecting the nominees to the house of representatives, that being a matter for the Republican voters to decide for themselves. FOR COUNTY TREASURER. Believing that the voters and taxpayers want even the men elected to office to give value received for the salaries they draw, and further believing that, the taxpayers and voters expect every employee in a county office to do his or her duty, and whole duty, the same as if they were working for a private person, concern or corporation, I have since assuming the duties of treasurer endeavored so to do. I hereby announce myself as a candidate for renomination, subject to the endorsement of the next Republican county convention. MATT. H. GORMLEY. FOR COUNTY CORONER. I hereby announce my candidacy for county coroner, subject to the will of the next Republican county convention. If renominated and elected I shall endeavor to act during my second term in the way of conducting the affairs of the office as I did during the time of my first term. F. M. CARROLL, M. D. FOR SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS. I am a candidate for superintendent of public schools of King county, to succeed myself, and rely on my work in that capacity for the past eighteen months as my chief recommendation for the renomination and election which I seek. My candidacy for the nomination is subject to the endorsement of the next Republican county convention. FOR COUNTY AUDITOR. In announcing my candidacy to succeed myself as county auditor, I do so, believing that my office has given general satisfaction to the public. No partisan, however, is greater than his party, and however pleased the public might be, the party workers might have reason to think otherwise, hence my candidacy for the nomination of county auditor is subject to the endorsement of the next Republican county convention. JAMES P. AGNEW. FOR PROSECUTING ATTORNEY. On the record that my administration of the office of prosecuting attorney has made for the past eighteen months, I again seek the nomination for prosecuting attorney of King county at the hands of the next Republican county convention. If nominated and elected, I hereby pledge to give to the voters and taxpayers just as economical administration in the affairs of the office for the ensuing two years as I will have in the past two years. KENNETH MACKINTOSH. FOR COUNTY ASSESSOR. I hereby announce myself as a candidate for the nomination for King county subject to the endorsement of the Republican county convention. If nominated and elected I pledge to give the county an economical administration of the affairs of the office without fear or favor. GEORGE V. GAU. Subject to the ratification and endorsement of the next Republican County Convention. FOR COUNTY ASSESSOR H. A. GOODFELLOW. Subject to the action of the Republican County Convention. FOR COUNTY ASSESSOR. At the request of a large number of taxpayers and business men of the county, I hereby announce my candidacy for the office of county assessor to succeed John W. Peter, for whom I acted as chief deputy during the four years he will have been assessor, subject to the ratification of the next Republican county convention. If nominated and elected I will, as in the past, give value received. FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER. After consulting with a very large percentage of the voters in the Third Commissioners' District I have decided to seek the nomination for county commissioner from the Third District, subject to the ratification of the next Republican county convention. If nominated and elected I will endeavor to carefully look into every contract let by the commissioners and use due diligence in protecting the taxpayers from being imposed upon in the letting of contracts. My vote shall always be cast for a judicious expenditure of all county funds. Call for Republican State Convention. A Republican state convention is hereby called, to be held at Seattle, Wash., on Wednesday, September 19, 1906, at the hour of 10 o'clock a. m., for the purpose of nominating three candidates for representative in congress and four candidates for supreme court judges, promulgating a party platform, selecting a state central committee, and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before said convention.

It is recommended that county conventions be held not later than Saturday, September 15, and that certified lists of delegates and alternates to the state convention and to joint or district conventions be promptly forwarded to the secretary of the state central committee by the secretaries of the respective county conventions. It is recommended that joint or district conventions be held at Seattle on the same date as the state convention. By order of the Republican state central committee, E. B. PALMER, Chairman.

Taylor, the author of plays and m@mager of the company now playing at the Third Avenue Theatre, has dowe*considérable good even if he had never written any other play than “From Rags to Riches.” It will benefit both boys and girls, mid- dle aged and old age to see this play. It contains an object lesson, and a marked one. It shows woman’s weak- ness, and her strength, and the power and object of an early training. “Flos- sie’s” appeal to the Cross, when cor- nered by the villain, is a very impres- sive object lesson; but her forgive ness for her tormentor in the end is a problem. Next week, lovers of sensationalism, will have a sufficiency at the Third Avenue Theatre. The play will be new and of a most fascinating char- acter to a great many people. It is called “Deadwood Dick,” after one of the famous characters of the West, and one that has furnished material enough for a large number of inter- esting stories written about it. The play has a number of sensational inci- dents in it, and a great deal of comedy; and best of all, it is natural through to the indiguous characters, and will be well presented by the Taylor Company.
