feated for reelection in King
county in 1896, when all Republi.
cans, whether good or bad, fell
before the great free silver tidal
wave. It comes to the Pie-make1
that teachers from all parts of the
state have already written Prof
Layhue offering their aid to help
him to secure the nomination, and
will work for his election without
regard to party affiliations. This
means much for the success of the
Republican party, and it would be
the right and proper thing for it to
nominate such popular candidates
for all of its offices.

'ETom Humes will receive the
nomination for governor of this
state whether he does or does not
receive the endorsement of King
county, and, if Tom Humes is not
nominated for governor no one
else from King county will be on
the Republican ticket" is what a
few claquers of the Humes-Piper-
Ankeny combine are daily crack
ing on the streets these days.
Those fellows realize that they
have lost King county and they
take this particular way Of trying
to brow beat the opposition to
Humes into DESERVING their can
didate and supporting Humes,
believing that fate has decreed
that King county will have to
stand for Humes or get nothing at
the hands of tie state convention.
Perhaps other sections of this
state are SO much enamored with
Tom Humes as to go to him
whether he has or has not any
thing to return for their coming,
but it is by no means probable.
LII the other sections of the state
have decided that King county is
to have the governorship it is un-
reasonable to suppose that they
will say it must be this or that
man. They will say, "settle it
among your selves and come to
the state convention as unit for
your choice and he will receive our
most favorable consideration"
Pretty nearly every section in
this state has some favorite candi-
date for state office, and to land
their man they will go to that
faction that can give them the
largest number of votes in return.
IL Tom Humes fails to get
King county even Mr.. Ankeny
himself will desert him. All that
talk of Mr.. Humes' popularity
among the voters of this state is
buncom pure and simple, for, if he
is so popular he would have long
ago been nominated for state
office as he has been candidate
for some one Of them ever since
he has been in the state. In 1891
he was candidate for supreme
judge and had the united support
of the King county delegation, and
yet it is officially said that he did
not get g. vote outside of the King
county delegation. In the late
senatorial scrap he did not get a
single bona fide vote outside Of
King county and even those votes
he got from King county we're
bogus ones, as they never intended
to do anything but go to Ankeny
at the proper time. Neither Of
the twelve statesmen twelve"
wanted to see Tom Humes elected
to the senate and they did not
prop ose to permit it.

Perhaps the scalest trick that has
been turned in Seattle for a good
many moons, was turned last Mon
day evening, when the board Of
health, at the behest of the Piper
Humes combine, decapitated FL. L.
Emery, as deputy health inspector,
to make room for one A. G. Rumble,
one of the most abomable political
hangers-on in the county. Rumble
knows no more about the business
