Why Sixteen to One?

One often hears the question, s'why
sixteen to one?" raised by Republicans.
A few nights ago in the Arlington
House some San Francisco people got
in to q discussion with some Nevada
Silver men and the question was sneer-
ingly asked. "Will some one tell me,
why sixteen to one?''
A Nevada Silver man answered:
eyes, will tell you. God Almighty
placed just about sixteen times as much
silver in the world as gold, and this
fact undisputed for centuries establish
ed the ratio which was accepted by
the world, and the Constitution Of the
United States made gold and silver
legal tender, and Congress endorsed
the: ratio. In '73 Republican Con-
gress overruled the ratio established
by God Almighty, and the American
people are now ranging on the side OF
the Lord to get it back again.
well" said the San Francisco man,
IF the Republican party can reverse
the Lord it must be q pretty strong
party
It's strength is nothing to brag of,
and you will discover in November
that the Lord is not one wko will re-
main long overruled."
"Well, now lets leave the Lord out
of the question and give some real
good earthly and sensible reason" was
the next remark OF the San Francisco
Republican,
'Well, it is this. If l stole sixteen
dollars OF you in '73, and you were
now in a position to make me refund,
you would be surprised to hear me ask
| the question, why sixteen dollars?
You stole the sixteen to one ratio, and
We want the property back in the same
prororjion
The San Francisco man seemed to
have no more questions and the Silver
man continued:
| u he Constitution of the United
! States recog Dized, and stu recognizes,
| gold and silver as legal tender. and
| the clause never having been repealed,
the act Of % demonetizing silver is
! clearly unconstitutional.

Not in many months has there been as
much political gossip among Republican
workers and leaders as yesterday when
on the street corners, IN ofrices, restau-
rants and other public places the deteat
sustained by the Humes forces at We'd
nesday's meeting of the county commit
tee was discussed. Many opinions were
expressed as TO the probable outcome or
the action of the county committee, and
no criticisms were passed on the course
of the committee save from some OF the
most ardent supporters OF Mayor Humes'
gubernatorial boom.
There was a gathering of the Humes
men in the Seattle yesterday. From the
southwest came Charles Dalton. who is
relied on by Mayor Humes and his man
ayers to bring up a delegation from that
section of the state favorable to the
mayor From Island county came A. J.
NJ Hosom. another warm Humes support
err and Tom Payne, OF Whatcom, was
prominent figure in the gathering. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Dalton came all the
way from Pacific to help the Humes men
celebrate what they expected would be
victory. Mr.. Hosom came for the same
purpose.
At any rate, there was no celebration
by the Humes men yesterday. They look
ed happy, smiled and good naturedly stood
a lot OF ''joshing."

Mr.. Dalton pleasantly, when asked why
the Humes men were gathered in a bunch

win. l miss my guess. Any way, We've
got a candidate in the southwest. you
know"
The mayor himself was In evidence but
for short time yesterday afternoon. In
his office, however. he received his sup
porters who gathered to consult him about
the future.
There was more or less gossip yesterday
regarding the results of the victory won
in the committee meeting by the Frink-
Van De Vanter men. The latter were
naturally receiving congratulations and
feeling joyful over the result. This
means the certain nomination OF Mr..
Frink," said one. Another said; THE
King county Republicans may have their
differences once in while, but they'll
get together and have a King county man
nominated for governor, and he will be
J. NJ. Frink."
Among the adherents on both sides there
was much speculation as to the probable
effect on Mayor Humes' candidacy of his
crushing defeat Wednesday. II was talk
ed Of that the mayor might even with
draw from the race, and If possible throw
his strength to Mr.. Guie. The latter's
friends asserted that the mayor would not
be in the race when the convention IA
held.
Some OF the aspirants for places on the
county ticket who have heretofore been
part of the Humes- W ooding slate were
yesterday quietly sizing the situation up
and getting the drift OF party senti-
ment. More than one was anxiously max
ing inquiries as to the strength OF the
HumesW ooding followers betraying no
little uneasiuess at the result Of the Wed
nesday meeting.
