Hen. S. G. Cosgrove, of this
city, has been looking over the
field, and, believing that his can
didacy might offer a common
ground upon which the Republi-
cans throughout the state could
unite, has concluded to be can
dldate for governor, before the
Republican state convention next
fall. He is SO well known to the
people in all parts of the state that
no introduction is necessary.
And it goes without saying that
anything he might ask at the
hands of his many influential
friends will be given respectful
consideration. His record as a
public-spirited citizen, his ability
as lawyer, and his invaluable
services as a campaign speaker,
have demonstrated his peculiar
fitness to make the race for the
high position to which he aspires.
He is widely known as a man of
ability and much force Of charac-
ter, and is finely equipped by
natural endowment, education and
training to serve the people with
distinction, and in the event of
his nomination he could be relied
upon to furnish the vital political
force necessary to keep Republi-
can principles to the front.-East

A Vancouver paper mentions N
B. Coffman, Of this city, as a poss-
IDLE candidate on the Republican
ticket for governor. It is whis-
pered in Chehalis that G. W. Nav
nard would like to have term in
the state treasury. It therefore
appears that Lewis county will
not be without candidates before
the Republican state convention
this fall, and why should it?
Lewis county is one Of the largest
counties In Western Washington.
yet 1t has never, so far as our
knowledge goes, had state Office.
Henry Long was at one time a
strong gubernatorial possibility.
but he never got so far as to receive
the nomination It is probable
that both Mr. Coffman andIMr
Maynard will be easily discourag-
ed IN their ambitions this wear,
but the time is not far distant
when such will not be the case.
especially with the former. NIB
Coffman is rapidly becoming a.
power in Republican state poll
tics and his ambitions are keeping
even pace with his influence. We
venture to make the prediction
that ii he fails of success this year
he will be the nominee of the Re-
publican party either for governor
or for congressman in 1904. If
the political wheel of fortune is
then favorable to the Republican
party, Lewis county will for the
first time be represented at the
state capital or in the national
halls OF congress. Ii it must be a
Republican the Advocate knows Of
no one better qualified to do honor
to his county and promote the well
fare OF his state.-Chehalis Advo-
cate.

a caution to see that his lamp did
