The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1900-11-02

With this issue The Seattle Re
publican closes its work in the pres
ent campaign, as before it again ap-
pears the American people will have
spoken and said in words of no I'M
certain sound or significance who
will direct the destinies of the Uni
ted States for the next four wears.
In some phase or another The Re-
publican has been actively engaged
in hot political campaign for the
past ten months or more and it is
pleased to note the end. If on next
Tuesday the Republican national,
state and county tickets are triumph
antly elected this paper will feel that
it has many reasons to be exceed
ingly glad over the humble but per
sistent part it has played in the long
campaign. We believe the Repub-
lican party all over this country will
win by such majorities as it has
never before won by This is not
party enthusiasm, but from careful
observation. Some weeks ago the
Democrats were claiming this state
by 10000 majority for their ticket,
now they claim it by only 5000,
which is but admitting that they
have lost the state by $4,000 ma
jority. King county will give the
Republican ticket $500 majority,
