To the Voters of King County.

To the voters OF King county,
hereby announce myself as an independent
candidate for the Authorship of King county at
the ensuing election in November next. The
following are some of my reasons for doing SO:
FIRsr-Since the action of the {" Peoples Con-
vention," on the 9th inst, have been made
known, have been solicited by many voters
both in the City and from the country, to run
Independent.
SEcoNp-I believe that said Convention was
controlled by q " clique" or =" ring"-wAs NOT A
FAIR EXPRESSION OF THE PEoPIE-and that am
not bound by its actions.
THrRD-It is well-known fact that I receiv-
ed in said Convention nearly the entire
votes Of the Country Delegation; and all OF the
City votes not previously pledged or influenced
by said ring"
FouRTH-That in consequence OF sickness In
ythis Summer, and other misfortunes
which have met in Seattle, am out Of busi-
ness or employment, and desire the office Is a
source of living.
am under no obligations to any man clique.
or party, and. if elected will attend to the bus
mess myself, and endeavor to do justice to all.
without fear or favor from any. 1 have many
reasons for believing that the "ring" win resort
to and use every means in their power to defeat
my election; no matter how low or unjust those
means may be; and hereby call on my friends

opposed to cliques and rings running the az

awaiting only little muscle, energy
and perseverance on the part of those
who would possess themselves of good
homes. But, We find that even with
these prerequisites and all other mod
ern appliances that are usually brought
to bear to make fine farms and rich far>
mers, We need in connection with
these natural advantages and present
developements and inducements, active.
energetic, enterprising business men,
who can see the facilities the country af-
fords for building up good business
and assisting the farmer at the same
time. Those WHO are engaged dyking.
draining, ploughing and sowing, deserve
the highest encouragement. They are
demonstrating the feasibility of the
former work dyking and showing the
value and richness of the soil. and the
abundant and never failing crops. A
market for his produce is the question
with the farmers here, ~ elsewhere.
No section of the country offers 80
fine an opening to man or company
Of mon to engage in the milling bust
ness. Flour and ground feed should be
produced here to supply tho whole
Sound. Here is where the wheat, oats
and harley are grown, which is even
now being shipped to an already over
stocked market, the same must be re-
shipped. manufactured ready for con.
sumption, for we cannot do without
them. Is this business, gentlemen? 1t
certainly is not paying business to the
farmers.
On the Indian Reservation. opposite
the Swinomish proper, is one of the
finest springs of clear, cold water running
to waste, pouring the same column the
year round into the salt water of the
slough, which forms the chief channel
for navigation when the tide is in. A
large steamer can pass through this
channel when the tide is favorable.
Communication with Seattle and Bel
lingham Bay is had through this slough,
which, but for its dependence upon the
tides. might be called the LABEL river.
A company could secure lease of this
land from the Government, utilize this
water power, aid the farmers, establish
a permanent and growing business for
themselves and secure centre for trade
and commerce. As the climate and sell
is especially adapted to cereals, such
vast stretches of level country invite the
most improved machinery; the soil SO
deep and rich; centuries will not i'm
poverish it. Already the largest Grange
is formed in this locality and farmers
signify willingness to give substantial
aid to reliable persons who will visit
this place with view to manufacturing.
Lumber is needed and beet sugar in
time will be one of the articles of cx-
port, but for the present Il grist mill
would answer the prays Of the Swino-
mishites.
