A dozen or more people were interviewed
this morning, on the fight for city treas
urer. None of them wanted their name.
published, but here is the gist of what
they said:
Louis F. Henderson is theregularnomi
nee for state treasurer OF the citizens con
vention held last Thursday night and
ought to be elected" said a well known
merchant. "He is a clean cut business
man, of honesty and integrity, big prop
erty owner, and will make a good officer, .
he continued.
II shall not support either Joseph Chill
berg or A. d. Glover, because they were
candidates before the convention against
Henderson and failed to get the nomina-
ton" said another. 81 am friend of Mr..
Glover, and would like to see him in the
office, but Henderson won the nomination
fairly and is entitled to the suHrages of
those who like fair play"
Il am against Chilberg for the Office of
city treasurer" said an old citizen, "be
cause he is hardly ever in his office when
he is wanted besides that, do not think
he did the sqaare thing when he failed, af-
ter the fire here, some years ago. His cred
itors offered to settle for fifty cents
on dollar. He offered thirty cents
on dollar and finally paid nothing. His
work for the capital location was paid for by
other peoples money, and he deserves no
more credit on that score than anybody
else"
Il am going to vote for Glover because /
don't like either Chilberg or Henderson, 2
remarked a property holder. "Glover is an
old timer and us old timers ought to hang
together. 1 am also going to vote for
Murphy and Grainger."
Don't put my name in the paper,''
said Main street business men, 'ebut /
tell you we ought to stand by Henderson.
the regular nominee Of the convention for
city treasurer"
Il am for Chilberg,' said gentleman
interested in one Of the banks this morn
ing. "Why2" was asked Because he
has built big brick building on Main
street and Henderson built little one"
II am for Henderson," said another,
because he is going to build big brick
block in the spring on his Main street
that will overtop the Chilberg
block"
81 am going to vote for Glover, as buy
pretty good coal from him, . said house
keeper, 'and | know he keeps his accounts
pretty good for he always sends me a bill
on the first of the month"
II don't care darn which of these is
elected, said an old soldier "I wanted
Hartman, but he wasn't nominated. am
going to vote for Henderson, however"
eff the people of Olympia want their
funds kept in straight business-like
manner by frst-class accountant of ap-
proved integrity, let them elect Louis r..
Henderson, said workingman this morn
ing. 81 have known Mr.. Henderson for
years. He will pay strict attention to his
duties and deal out equal and exact justice
to all in handling the peoples funds"
81 think the whole thing is badly
mixed, /" said well known collector who
was around today, the wind and rain fail
ing to keep him in doors "I havn't made
up my mind who to vote for yet"
"Some people say that Chilberg is a tenn
perance crank. This is not true" said a
groceryman. "He is a temperance man
himself and has a right to be, but he is no
crank on the subject, and we have never
seen him attempting to force his ideas
upon the community in this respect. ii
would not hurt the city if we had few
more temperance men,"
"Chilberg," says a friend of that gentle
man, tmade mistake in losing his temper
when he learned that he was charged with
having put up ten dollars with a saloon
keeper ''to gin up the boys with" It was
only intended as joke at first, but was
peddled about so extensively that some
easily influenced people began to believe
there was something in it. Chilberg's Wig.
orous denial Of the charge angered the
saloon men, and they are fighting him
hard !"
Phil Hiltz, retired capitalist Of the Sec
ond ward, says he wants new treasurer 80
that the books can be examined
Tom Heacock says the FORMERS" seem
to have good deal to say in the election
for treasurer. Tom is strictly in the Goa
business and out Of politics.
"The greatest political rounder Of The
Second ward, Mr.. Hiltz, (" says well know
citizen, "thinks Mr.. Chilberg should be de
feated for treasurer. He thinks he is show
ing altogether too much enterprisein build
ing such a fine brick building, intimating
ofcourse, that the city's funds from til,
empty treasury have been put into thu
building. He knows better. and so doe,
look over the books for ten minutes. Ou
upon such politics The great rounde
talks toe much. He may get himself int
trouble"
"Chilberg is the man that locked I'd hi
Office for weeks, when business was good
and went out to fight for Olympia for stat,
capital. | shall vote for him and show my
appreciation of a man who has devoted
years of his time laboring for the advance
ment OF the city," said an old timor.
II am going to vote for Mr.. Henderson
because he is by far the ablest and mos
| competent of the three candidates" said
well known dry goods dealer this morning
think will vote for Henderson" SAT-
a well known republican. "He got tn
regular nomination, and as all three of th
candidates are democrats, [ shall 20 for tn
regular nominee. Henderson suits me fo
1 treasurer"
"a vote for Chilberg means an endorse
ment of competent, faithful officer VIII
has served the city when the labor wa
arduous and the remuneration small' sal
a lady. "If had a vote 1 would vote fo
/ him."
''The election of ChiIberg will mean tina
the people intend to recognize service
