fee Of license inspector a thorny one. He was

Judge Elmon Scott, whose term as one of the
justices of the supreme court will expire next
January, will be warmly urged for renomina-
ton by his friends. His services on the bench
have been highly satisfactory to the bar and the
people OF the state and, If renomnated Judge
Scott will prove a strong candidate. Other
strong men will be urged for the position, how
ever. Among them, it is said, are A. W. Frater,
OF Snohomish, who served with so much credit
in the last legislature, and Judge Joseph Robin
son, of Thurston county.
The Slaughter Sun has this to say of the candi-
dacy of Mr.. J. II. Lewis for governor: alt now
seems reasonably certain that Colonel James
Hamilton Lewis. of Seattle, will be the Demo-
cratic nominee for governor this fall. The Sun,
however. can scarcely believe that the rank and
file of the Democrats OF this great state of Wash
ington will place in nomination and attempt 10
elect to the highest Office within the gift OF the
people man who prides himself upon being
dude-a masher, as it were. Nearly everybody
knows "Dude" Lewis, and whenever he passes
along the streets OF his home town people turn
their heads and crane their necks to get better
look at the man who parts his whskers in the
middle and pays more att ntion to the set of
his trousers than any other man in the state OF
Washington. The Seattle Telegraph one of the
fairest Bourbon papers in the state does not, we
feel certain, favor the candidacy of dude law
yer for governor. There is other and better
timber"
