REPUBLICANS FULL OF HOPE.
Indications Point to an Overwhelming
Victory on Tuesday.

The effects OF the work done By the Repub-
hcans during the last three or four days were
clearly shown by the drift: OF public opinion
yesterday. The streets were crowded from
morning until night, and politics was
the main subject of conversation on
every hand Men gathered AZ the corners
and eagerly discussed the situation, while
the headquarters OF both parties were
filed 10 overlooking. In the afternoon the
speakers of the Peoples party talked from a
rostrum on Pioneer place, and though several
hundred people gathered, most OF them paid no
attention to the orators, but instead debated the
chances OF John Leary ami J. T. Ronald
The opinion grew stronger eaCa hour that J
7, Ronald had no chance of winning the cleo
tioa. and the fact that the Democrats are no
longer willing To bet on their fayorite indicates
that his case may now fairly be considered
homeless

ADVICE OF A LABORING MAN.

BOULEVARD, March 6. lse2
To The EDITOR: Now tina. election time is
a. hand /, a laborer, wish 10 appeal to the
workingmen Of Seattle, in the name Of what
we all hold most dear-our faInilies-to stop one
moment and consider wha: you are about to do
before you cast your voter. and then cast them
in the right direction What is the right direc-
ton? That is the question l want you TO de-
eide for yourselves before you vote one wav or
the other. You know which party has helped
you through the present hard times which
every one in the city has felt. That party has
given work TO Us tina. has enabled US TO supply
the necessaries OF life TO ourselves and our
families. Do not rely on promises for the fu-
ture from other sources, but judge by past
actions, and vote for the party that has helped
you through the hardes. times Seattle has ever
experienced in late years. 50 bird in the hand
is worth two in the bush" Many of nv fell
low laborers have told me that had it not been
for the city giving them employment they
would not have been able to pay their taxes
WHAT do few dollars taxes amount TO when
the public works for which those taxes were
levied give Us months of employment? Right
here let me quote some from a speech made by
Mr.. Leary last Friday night. It is exactly to
the point He said:
LET me call your attention to the fact that
the city paid laboring men sl6,I40 during the
month OF February. That sum would buy 1000
barrels Of -four, 1000 pounds OF beef, 10000 OF
sugar 9UyO OF butter, 600 OF tea 1000 OF coffee
and stu have s2,540 for other expenditures
Who says that the city was ex.ravsgant in en-
ploying that labor and applying that amount OF
food for those in need?'
There is another thing / want 70 mention
The Democratic,csmpaign speakers and the TEL
egrdpR are Claiming that men have been dis
charged from the forces at work on the public
Improvements on account OF their politics, but
am safe in saying that there are IS many Demo-
Gratis employed by the city today as there are
Republicans, and Street Commissioner Alexan-
der mas made no removals for political reasons
Before closing want to call 10 your notice the
city bond election Monday. The proposition to
Dond the cltys Indebtedness is q good one
Vote for it. 1t will be the means of continuing
the present improvements in charging the svs-
TEN OF water-works, in building sewers in grad
ing streets, and all these things will give you
employment. Yours truly.

General O. o. Howard is preparing to

he was in Louisville, where he went to
consult General Thomas Taylor regard

court record fixing the date, of the cere-
mony on June 10, 1916, and found also
the log house on the bank of Harrod's

formed.

bility to register more than a thousand
the coming week. Who and where are
all these unregistered 5000? we may well
inquire. Republican aldermen have
heretofore controlled the lists, and lie
publican assessors have rendered the
names. Can it be with truth assert
ed that one-third or one-fourth OF the
voters of Portland are indifferently re-
fusing to exercise their right of SUFFRAGE,
So large an unregistered balance VIII
continue to excite the gravest Suspicion
against the old list.
As we know, the Republican party is
we'll organized and skilled in electloneer-
ing appliances, but it gives me pleasure
to say that the Democracy are punlshlng
the authors by registering a larger Dem
ocratic vote than that thrown by them
last spring, which was 1850, and believed
to be, out of the total 5000 already regis
tered, fully equal and probably in excess
of the Republican registration.
Now what we must do is to
complete our organization, call home the
absent, and above all keep the registra-
ton of the hundreds of Democrats who
have been putting it off, going on all the
next week, day and evening, until the
board closes at o'clock Saturday after
noon. Let no man say his vote counts
only one. Elections have been gained or
lost by one vote. l have full confidence
in a sweeping victory, if we only exert
our own strength unitedly and energetic
ally and poll a full vote.

For the past three years the roads
leading over the mountains between
Salmon City, Ida, and the Montana
line have been infested with band Of
highwaymen who have stopped stage
after stage, and have not yet been
caught by the officers or prevented from
continuing their work. The band has
worked little differently from most of
the western highwaymen, and have al
ways made such show Of numbers
that resistance has been impossible.
Never has a robbery been committed
that there were not at least six people
in it, and in several instances there have
been eight. All efforts to find the head
quarters Of the band have proved una
yaiiiIg. $
One popularity has been noticed, and
that Is ih,t a shot had never been fired
dnring any Of the raids Of these robbers.
A stage on the road from this city to
Boise City was robbed short time
ago, and one Of the messengers declares
two of the robbers were women dressed
as men. This may solve the whole prob
lem, for it is possible that the deeds are
done by women, and the sheriff has set
to work on this clue. There is ranch
about half way between here and the
state line where stages stop both ways
to get dinner, and this ranch is run by
man named Harvey. who is assisted by
his wife and six daughters. 1t is now
the intention to set close watch on this
ranch.--Cor. St. Louis Globe-Democrat
