State Library SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. XV. NO. 2 POLITICAL POT PIE Lee A. Johnson, twice elected to the legislature from Yakima county, and a leading business man of the Sunnyside district, has announced that he will make a fight to succeed the Hon. Wesley L. Jones in the house of representatives in the congress of the United States. Mr. Johnson was one of the leaders of the house in both the ninth and tenth legislatures and was recognized by all of the members as an able and eloquent debater. Representing as he did the anti-drink side of the legislature he of course did not train with a majority of the members of the house of representatives, but despite that, he suceeeded in pulling as much out of the legislature for his constituents and for the general public welfare as any other member of the body. His local option bill was bitterly opposed by many of the members of the body, and in fact was twice defeated, nevertheless as soon as that measure was laid aside he ranked high on all other propositions, and whenever Lee Johnson rose to speak on any subject every body sat up and took notice. The manner in which he engineered the irrigation bill which resulted in the federal government taking hold of the irrigating ditch that feeds thousands and perhaps millions of acres in the Yakima valley showed the sagacity of the man as a legislator, and that of itself should land him in congress under the direct primary system. "It does not matter which side of the ditch one comes, just so he has the stuff in him to make a good representative and the chances are that he will be endorsed by the people," said a well known politician one day this week in talking about Mr. Johnson's announcement. "I mean by that, that the mere fact that Jones is a candidate for the senate and Mr. Johnson for the house of representative for congress and both practically from the same county, the voters will not stop to consider, nor will it hurt the chances of Mr. Jones being elected to the United States senate, which, in my opinion, cannot be stopped at this time by anything save an old fashioned cyclone." --- Who will succeed the Hon. Wesiey L. Jones in the house of representative of congress seems to be something of a puzzle just now as there are so many who seem to labor under the opinion that, they have been called for the arduous duty. Those who have announced themselves for the nomination are Thomas D. Rockwell, Harry Rosenhaupt and W. H. Ludden, Miles Poindexter, Spokane; Lee A. Johnson, Sunnyside; H. M. Boone, Colfax; M. E. Field, Chelan; Dr. M. Pretryzki, Dayton. --- W. H. Ludden has been more or less prominent in the political world of this section since the admission of the territory into the union. He was a member of the third legislature in the house and since then has served four years in the United States land office at Spokane. He is said to be an Ankeny booster and is being pushed by the Ankenyites. --- Rockwell is now a member of the state tax commission and is said to be one of the best campaigners in the state. He lead the fight in Eastern Washington in the Meade campaign, and it is claimed saved the day for him. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, Friday, June 5, 1908 As may be seen in the above Lee A. Johnson is from Yakima county and has been deservedly honored by his party. --- Harry Rosenhaupt besides being one of the leading business men of Spokane was a member of the sixth and seventh legislature in the house and is at present state senator, having served half of his term. --- H. M. Boone has served two terms in the senate being a member of the ninth and tenth legislatures. He is very popular in Whitman and the adjoining counties and it is claimed by his friends that, he will make a hard fight for the honor. --- M. E. Fields, who hails from Chelan county is exceedingly popular in that neck of the woods and thinks he will be able to swing the vote of Chelan, Okanogan, Douglas and Ferry counties for his candidacy and not make a bad showing in the other counties of the district. He was a member of the legislature in the house and made a fine record. * * * J. D. Bassett, who made such a splendid record in Olympia as a legislator in the ninth and tenth legislatures, has announced that he will seek the Republican nomination for joint senator from the eleventh senatorial district. Mr. Bassett is a resident of Ritzville, the county seat of Adams county, and has already received the endorsement of his county for the nomination. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN desires to say to the voters of the eleventh senatorial district that, they could not find a better man for the position in the entire district than he, and from a result standpoint not one half so good, as he has had the legislative experience and acquaintanceship among the legislators. No man at Olympia among the legislators stood higher in the estimation of the other legislators and the observing public than J. D. Bassett, and if that district wishes results from the the next two legislatures it would do well to nominate and elect him to the legislature from the eleventh senatorial district. KING COUMTY POLITICS There is nothing doing in local politics is the consensus of opinion among those who do politics for a business. The boys are waiting for Senator Sam Piles to come home that they may consult his wishes in selecting men to support for the various nominations for county offices. While the famous south district has decided to support Pete Smith for sheriff, yet he will not be a candidate if Senator Piles does not endorse him, so comes the report. Jim Agnew who thinks he has an immortal cinch on the nomination is laying low, but has given it out that if Senator Piles decides against him, he will run in spite of his protests. Dr. Hoye is keeping his own council, but is a candidate for sheriff and his friends say he will not pull out. Charley Phillipps is working away without giving the Piles side of the house much consideration. He seems to be of the opinion that, the senator has troubles of his own. Jack Stringer is likewise sawing wood and letting the other fellows do the rag chewing. "I am not pleased with any of the candi- --- PRICE TEN CENTS dates for sheriff," said a well known politician one day this week, "and I desire to see a new Richmond in the race, and I am of the opinion that a dark horse will be put in pretty soon and will sweep the field." --- A third candidate has not come forward to contest the place for the nomination for county auditor, which leaves the fight still between Case and Brier, neither of whom is wholly acceptable to the voters. It is hoped that some popular man will announce himself for the place and if he does he will go through like chain lightning. * * * Alexander H. Beebee, who was a member of the last legislature from the 47th representative district, the seventh and third wards of Seattle, has announced that he will seek to return to the legislature, and asks his party nomination to that effect. ** ** ** D. K. Sickles and Eddie Raine are still the only candidates for county clerk and a battle royal is promised. Sickles has been an office attache in the King county court house for the past twelve years and there are those in the county who entertain the opinion that, it is high time he was finding some other kind of employment. Raine it is said was given a dirty deal when kicked out of the office and Sickles given his place, but be that as it will or may, there is a feeling among the voters that the court house should get a new deal this year. * * * Thomas A. Parish, the county assessor is still without apparent opposition although there are many rumors afloat that he will meet with bitter opposition in the primaries. The business men of the city almost to a man seem to be against the renomination of Mr. Parish, and some of them are so outspoken against him that they declare that if he is nominated they will work against hs re-election. * * * The nomination for prosecuting attorney promises to be a mad scramble. George Vandeveer, chief deputy in that office at present, seems to be the leading candidate at this writing, not because more persons have spoken favorably of his nomination than any of the others, but because he has made more fuss about it than any one else. There was a banquet at one of the grill rooms last Saturday, to which the "400" was invited and they formed a club and promised each other to go down the line for Vandeveer. Frank S. Griffith is also a candidate and being an old timer in the county is moving heaven and earth to convince the voters that he is the best man for the place. Frank B. Sayre is also a candidate and he thinks his opportunities for getting the nomination are golden. Frank is a leading secret society man and is an old government employee and has many friends. Former State Senator O. A. Tucker is something of a candidate though he does not seem quite certain of it at this time. Tucker has a host of friends, but it occurs to the Pie-maker that he hurt his chances in the part he played in the late county and state conventions. Mr. Tucker, it is said, showed signs of wanting to continue the factionalism in the Republican party of this county, which was wholly uncalled for and may militate against him. There is room for others on this seat. Frank C. Jackson, who was a member from the same district, has also announced that he wants to succeed himself. This is the same Frank C. Jackson that opposed the local option plank in the late state convention, but who now announces that he will stand for it. ** William Conner of the third ward is after Frank C. Jackson's scalp and has already begun an active campaign for the nomination. Mr. Connor was sergeant-at-arms of the late state senate and has been more or less active in the politics of the county. ** It is currently reported that Edward B. Palmer, who was state senator from the seventh and third ward district for four years and was succeeded by Robert F. Booth, will be a candidate for the nomination of representative from the district to succeed Beebee. Palmer is one of the most active politicians that Seattle has ever seen and if he does enter the race, and he will, Mr. Beebee will have to remember that he has been in a political scrap when he shall have won the nomination, that is, if he ever does. 宋 宋 宋 Harry C. Gordon and Ben Levy are the only announced candidates for county treasurer, which means, unless some one else gets in, that Harry will be nominated hands down. Gordon has been in the office for the past four years and Levy has been in the office ever since it was an office as a deputy and yet tried every year to be elected to the office. It has been suggested that a new man from the people come forward and announce his candidacy for the nomination, and it is believed that he will beat both of them clean out of their boots. The disposition to make a clean sweep at the court house is gaining ground every day. * * * While the lamp holds out to burn the would be office holder may continue to announce himself a candidate for a nomination. The latest to seek state honors in the shape of a Republican nomination is W. T. Tanner of Seattle, who announces his intention to shy his castor into the race for the nomination of attorney general, thus increasing the number of would be nominees for state honors from King county to seven. Mr. Tanner is more or less prominent in the state craft of the party, he having twice served in the state senate as clerk of the judicary committee. At present he is practicing law in Seattle and is in the office of Harold Preston, who four years ago made the fight for United States senator. CURRENT COMMENT. If Japan has no intention of waging war against America in the near future, then all of the great adoo which many of our papers persist in making to convince the public that "Japan will not fight America," must strike the inhabitants of Japan as comical indeed. Congress has adjourned and what "my constituents" will do for something to read before the Congressional Record is published again is the question. Congress has done much toward reform legislation, for which the president personally thanked a THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN great many of the members for their work, but among those who received his congratulations the name of Washington's statesmen, who is seeking re-election this year, is not found. It seems that Senator Ankeny gets it at home and abroad but his friends explains this by saying, he is always taken a mean advantage of while his enemies say, it is largely because he has been weighed in a balance and found wanting. "Talk about Seattle Spirit," writes an Eastern man home to his wife, "why, its immense! When they have undersized infants out here, if there is no baby incubator handy they put them in chicken incubators, and they grow just the same. Their motto seems to be 'Never give up—life or anything else that you wish to attain.' My mind's made up, we'll settle here." While Oregon has gone Republican by an overwhelming majority, yet the Democratic nominee for United States senator has beaten the Republican nominee in the popular vote. Oregon evidently has as bad lot of political cut throats as the state of Washington, and they got in their work on H. M. Cake, the Republican nominee for senator just as the Washington political cut throats got in their work on J. M. Frink who was a candidate for governor some eight years ago. Whether or not the legislature, which is overwhelmingly Republican will stand for the election of a Democrat to the senate remains to be seen. Whether or not the moving of the six story brick block in Seattle back some ten feet was a great engineering feat or is any thihg new in the way of building reconstruction is a question, but the firm that moved the New York annex block is being praised by everybody in the city that has seen or heard of the work. After getting everything ready the building was moved back in a night and it has been so nicely fitted on to the other part of the block that no one could now detect that its foundation had over been tampered with. It is said that the Chicago firm that did the job was paid $30,000 for it and that it cleaned up something like $20,000, but the owners of the block say they got out of it cheap at that. A park is a place where elderly persons go for rest and quiet enjoyment while children go to skip and run and have a jolly good time generally. This being the case persons should not be disturbed or their lives endangered while therein. In Seattle several of our parks are so frequently used for automobile driveways—Volunteer Park especially, that it is dangerous to permit small children to go there unattended by older persons. Before crossing driveways in the parks elderly persons must look both ways and then make a hasty dive for the opposite side not much unlike crossing Second avenue, while in order to sit on the rustic benches placed there for the comfort of the public, one must constantly inhale unpleasant showers of gasoline odors, so that those who are able to ride in autos may spin around in the park. This too, regardless of the fact that there are many other pleasant driveways outside of the parks. If it is absolutely necessary that the parks must be used for automobile driveways at the sacrifice of elderly people's pleasure and children's safety, then there ought to be a special speed limit governing them while therein. Friday. June 5. 1908 This seems to be a strenuous stage in the history of America in all walks and avenues of life but a recent sermon delivered in Sharon, Pennsylvania, by Billy Sunday, the ex-baseball player, takes the lead. So vigorous were his gestures and so great his state of excitement that he collapsed from sheer exhaustion at the close of it. During the course of his sermon he pounded the pulpit to pieces, pulled off a large sliver of wood and grasping it as a player who is about to hit a ball does, pounded the air and pulpit. We are told that in the matter of preaching it is well "to put the cookies on the lower shelf so that the children all may eat," but we are unprepared as yet, to stoop and gather the cookies off the ground. The pulpit is one of the safegards of the republic and one of the effective sources of education along higher lines and nobler plane of thought. Then for a minister in Pennsylvania, Seattle, or any other place for that matter to continually, during his discourse, keep dropping from the sublime to the ridiculous, makes one tired from mentally bobbing up and down, if it does not first fill him with digust at the lack of finer discrimination in the speaker. The fact that thousands attended the auction sale of the personal effects of the Indiana murderess, Mrs. Belle Gunness, near Laporte, demonstrates a growing weakness of the American people. The craze for relics and the desire to collect souvenirs causes some people to overlook the principle for which many of the desired things stand. A fabulous sum for a woman's horse or dog to keep as a souvenir and then speak of the woman's life in disgust is not very consistent. Senator Allison, the veteran statesman of Iowa, who has been a member of the senate since 1873 has triumphantly defeated Gov. Cummings, who sought to turn the old hero down. The Cummings idea has become rather popular in political circles in the East, and he has been twice elected governor of the state on his hobby and he hoped the same tidal wave would sweep into the senate, but got left. One woman's lone cow may have started the great Chicago fire, but it is evident that no one woman's lone cow will start even a small amount of microbes in Seattle. From now on, the law which says that one or more than one cow is considered a dairy when the owner thereof sells all or a part of her milk will be enforced, and all such dairies will will come under the general state dairy laws. Governor Hughes told this story at the recent meeting of the Bar Association of New York state: "I was sitting in my office the other day," he said. "When a man pushed his way through the line, and sitting down beside me began to berate the authorities of Auburn prison. How many times have you been there?" I asked. He replied that he had been there twice, for burglarly and assisting another prisoner to escape. "When I got rid of him," concluded Mr. Hughes, "I called in the doorman of the executive office and chided him for letting the fellow inside. "It wasn't my fault, Governor." replied the attendant. "He looked just like an assemblyman to me, and I thought he might have an appointment." The Governor said that was a shocking libel. - American Lawyer. Friday.

In seeking to again be named as one of the members of the supreme bench of this state, Judge Root is asking no more than what he truly merits. For the four years or thereabouts that he has been a member of the court his opinions have been conspicuous for their soundness of law and common sense principles. His opinions have been quoted from ocean to ocean by law journals and magazines and recommended to the public for its guidance in all legal matters. While he is an ardent partisan, yet on the bench he knows no party, person or principle save that of law, which has made for him a reputation as one of the deepest thinkers on the bench. Judge Root is a candidate to succeed himself, and he being a King county man he will get the almost unanimous support of the county and will most assuredly get the unanimous support of the Seattle bar.

In signing the garbage ordinance the mayor of Seattle gave the Dago trust a jolt that will make its very Gill shiver. Candidates for county offices in King county have Piles of trouble ahead of them in the the Ankeny iron clad agreement Fourth of July is the next thing on tap, but Seattle will hardly celebrate the event, at least not with tinkling cymbal and sounding brass. Strange as it may seem Joe Easterday has refused to continue to pull down a big fat salary from the state. Has Joe gone stark mad? Teddy, the Terrible, and Taft, the Toiler, seem to have labored, and a national Republican convention as they like it is the result. In cleaning up a million and a half dollars for its winter's work, the Pioneer Mining Company demonstrates that, it pays to work the dirt. If Representative Jones is to make a speaking tour of the state what kind of a tour must Senator Ankeny make in order to counteract the brilliant speeches Yakima Jones will make? That Vandeveer club for the purposes of securing the Republican nomination for George Vandeveer for prosecuting attorney of King county seems to be the limit of this political club business. "Excitement Runs High," says a head line speaking about the corn market in Chicago, which was misleading for instead of excitement running high, it should have said, "Corn Runs High." President Roosevelt may have been very proud of the support of Senator Piles, but he is as silent as death about Senator Ankeny, but then Mr. Ankeny has a barrel and that is perhaps all the qualifications that he needs. Evelyn Thaw declares it all a mistake, she does not want a divorce from Harry, dear. No, Evelyn dear, instead of a divorce, you simply wanted the dough, and took that method of making Mama Thaw come through. Its all right to punish the old milk trust, but what we, the citizens of the city want, is to have the present milk trust also smashed into smithereens that we may get milk instead of chalk and water, and yet have to pay an enormous price for that --- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN JUDGE MID In seeking to again be named as one of this state, Judge Root is asking not the four years or thereabouts that his opinions have been conspicuous for the principles. His opinions have been quoted and magazines and recommended to matters. While he is an ardent partisan person or principle save that of law, as one of the deepest thinkers on the succeed himself, and he being a Kunanimous support of the county and support of the Seattle bar. A woman seventy years of age has been sentenced to eighteen months in prison at penal servitude in England. She was found guilty of perjury and her gray hairs did not save her from having to end her days in a felon's cell. It is to be regretted that Uncle Sam does not take a similar view of his criminally inclined. We suspect the reason for the Democrats wanting the municipal building of Greater New York to be the highest in the city is that they can rob the people without some busy body peering into the windows to see what is going on. Cayton's Campaign Compendium, by all who hove seen it, is pronounced one of the neatest and most ready hand books for politicians that has ever been issued in the state. It will be mailed to you for one dollar and ten cents. In the marriage of Joseph Antonio Maceo, a son of the famous Cuban general of that name, to Miss Isabelle Mackay, a white girl of high breeding, both of New York city, the work of the Cospomolitan club of that city, which proposes to bring about the amalgamation of the races, is having immediate results. All concerned are said to be happy. D. A. ROOT. One of the members of the supreme bench more than what he truly merits. For he has been a member of the court his fair soundness of law and common sense derived from ocean to ocean by law journals the public for its guidance in all legal man, yet on the bench he knows no party, which has made for him a reputation bench. Judge Root is a candidate to big county man he will get the almost will most assuredly get the unanimous The last of the Confederate generals passed away last Thursday in the person of Stephen D. Lee. When all of these old fellows shall have given up the ghost, in our opinion the South will then be truly a New South and will immediately take steps to fully affiliate with the Union. Bob La Follett has ruined his chances of ever becoming president of the United States and in fact about ruined his chances of continuing a factor in politics by trying to talk a bill to death. Such a thing has been repeatedly done in Congress, but the man or men that did it always went fluey, politically speaking, soon thereafter. For weeks the children of a certain school in Chicago lived in dread of Italian Anarchists blowing up the building, and the explosion of a pistol near by one day last week caused a panic among the children, which resulted in many of them being crippled and otherwise injured in their madness to leave the building. That is the result of too much emigration to this country. They are coming too fast and Uncle Sam would do well to call a halt until he can Amercanize some of the blooming bloody foreigners. --- Friday, June 5, 1908 [Name not provided] [Name not visible in the image] JUDGE HERMAN D. CROW. The fruit it bears, is a biblical injunction he renders; that being a fact is developing into one of the most place he is a ripe scholar and a bishop almost without effort on his part.agues he is an ardent Republican in an move to elect the judges of the affiliations. He is from Spokane share of the confidence of the general member of the bench are his chief Judge a tree by the fruit it bears, is a biblical injunction, and you judge a judge by the opinions he renders; that being a fact, it must be said of Judge Crow that he is developing into one of the most able jurists of the northwest. In the first place he is a ripe scholar and a hard student, and being of a judicial mind he almost without effort on his part became a profound judge. Like his colleagues he is an ardent Republican in politics, but hails with delight the non-partisan move to elect the judges of the state without regard to their former party affiliations. He is from Spokane, where he has always enjoyed more or less share of the confidence of the general public. His opinions since he has been a member of the bench are his chief recommendations for a re-election. Friday. June 5. 1908 PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS State Senator W. H. Paulhamus, of Sumner, spent last Sunday in Seattle. The Senator evidently took Sunday to visit the hub in order that he might shy clear of the politicians, who it is said are as thick in Seattle just now as the hairs on a dog's back, anticipating the return of Senator Piles to the city. Hon. Walter J. Reed, of North Yakima, has been sued for a breach of contract by a female, who has been twice before lead to the hymeneal altar, who having lost the opportunity to claim a widow's dowery in Mr. Reed's wealthy estate, is willing to have her unequited love soothed by a $15,-000 damage salve. Mr. Reed claims it a dirty dose of blackmail. Col. F. D. Heustist, the well known Olympia citizen, and who was for four years collector of customs at Port Townsend as well as otherwise prominent in the affairs of this state, has just returned from Chicago where he underwent a surgical operation. He lost eighty pounds while in the hospital. Judge Herman D. Crow, the well known jurist of our supreme court and a former regent of the University of Washington, will present the diplomas to the graduating class of the university. Judge Crow is one of the most polished speakers in the state and being a ripe scholar the students are in line to get the literary treat of their lives. Frank S. Southward, the well known Seattle attorney, who, by the way, will tip the beam at something like 275 pounds, has joined a walking club and on last Sunday the members thereof walked from Olympia to Tacoma, but Frank's avoirdupois continues to increase and if he is trying to get lean he will likewise have to join a hungry men's club. Cayton's Campaign Compendium is what you need as a ready reference hand book on territorial and state matters. You can prompt yourself on a legislator or an office holder quicker by it than you could by enquiring of an acquaintance over the telephone. Price $1, with 10 cents additional when mailed. 307 Epler Blk., Seattle, Wash. State Anditor Clausen has but a few days since returned from Eastern Washington whither he went to mingle with the politicians, which mingling made it necessary for him to spend some two weeks thereafter at Soap Lake. Hon. Claude C. Ramsey, who was away from Seattle for a number of months during the past winter and who returned a few days since, is not sure but that he will be a candidate to succeed himself in the forty-fourth representative district. Mr. Ramsey made a brilliant record in the legislature and if he decides to make a fight to succeed himself it will be a fight to a finish. Dr. John L. Neagle, who for three weeks was seriously ill in a Seattle hospital, is again at his office in the Bailey building. Dr. Neagle is the able and efficient assistant secretary of the Republican State Central Committee on whose shoulders a great deal of the detail work of the committee falls. He is greatly improved and hopes to soon be his former self. Dr. G. W. H. Sparling, of Newcastle, spent last Wednesday in the city and incidentally doing a little political work in the interest of his candidacy for coroner. "I do not know how strong the other fellow is, but I am endeavoring to see how strong I am and that keeps me busy.

He enjoyed more or less share of the confid since he has been a member of the be re-election. John Henry Schively, the deputy insurance commissioner, with headquarters at Olympia, was doing Seattle last Tuesday and as he passed up and down the street it was plain to be seen that he is a first-class campaigner. Mr. Schively recognizes in Col. Lamping a dangerous opponent, but thinks he will best him in every county in the state. Sam H. Nichols, secretary of state, who has been more or less ill for the past two months, passed through Seattle last Wednesday returning from Everett en route for Olympia. Mr. Nichols is a candidate to succeed himself and makes no bones in in saying, "my opponent gives me no worry." Charles S. and A. L. Parker, of Spokane, have begun the publishing of the Spokane Citizen. It made its initial bow last Saturday, May 30th, and was fairly well patronized by the business men. Mr. Parker is a practical printer while Mrs. Parker is an up-to-date business woman. E. C. McDonald, deputy attorney general, with headquarters in Spokane, spent last Tuesday in Seattle. "Not on any political mission," he chimed in as soon as he was seen, but from the amount of getting about he did, he must have been mistaken. this is a biblical injunction, and you judge what being a fact, it must be said of one of the most able jurists of the schollar and a hard student, and being effort on his part became a profoundent Republican in politics, but hails with the judges of the state without regard from Spokane, where he has alwaysince of the general public.

The big man next him, who was going to serve seven years for bigamy, said: "Aw, wotcher sniffflin' about?" "I'm—I'm—th-th-thinkin' about leavin' (sob) my—my family. Lea—leavin' my wife—" "Aw, cut it out! Look at me. I ain't cryin', am I? An' I'm leavin' two of 'em." When Theodore Roosevelt was police commissioner in New York he asked an applicant for a position on the force: "If you were orderd to disperse a mob, what would you do?" "Pass around the hat, sir," was the reply. "What are they moving the church for?" "Well, stranger, I'm mayor of these diggin's, an' I'm fer law enforcement. We've got an ordinance what says no saloon shall be nearer than three hundred feet from a church. I give 'em three days to move the church." 5 HUMOR OF THE LAW (From Central Law Journal) 6 IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE of Washington, for King County. J. A.
