Judge l.. d. Campbell has been
nominated for mayor of Tacoma
by the Republicans and A. V.
Fawcett has been named by the
Fuslonists. They will vote April
4th, and, it is expected, that Taco
ma will do Mr.. Fawcett brown as
he deserves. It seems that there
are no contending or disgruntled
factions in Tacoma among the
Republicans at present, and they
will meet the ''three winged"
enemy with a solid front phalanx
and won't do a thing to them.
Seattle and the Pie-maker hope to
see a Republican land slide like
unto that witnessed in the Queen
City March 9th instant.

Judging from the numerous
jabs that Senator Schoield is get
ting from the state press from
time to time he is far from being
a political hero, and, if his chances
for political promotion are left to
the state press, the Pie-maker is of
the opinion that, he has already
reached his zenith. Here is what
the Walla Walla Argus had to say
about him in it's last issue
'In his speech before the Lev
ties Friday night Hon. Judas
Iscariot Schofield Of Chehalis
county, the man who abandoned
John L. Wilson for Ankeny at the
last senatorial election after vot-
ing thirty times for the former,
made bad break that sent the
cold chills down the backs of the
faithful and made their teeth
chatter. He suggested Yakima
Jones for United States senator.
This was rank treason and base
ingratitude on the part Of man
who had been brought across the
state to boom the aspirations of
Mr.. Ankeny. But nothing better
could be expected of such a man,
with such a record Of treachery."
SWhom the Lord loveth He
chastens'' has been written in the
Holy Book and perhaps the
Senator feels the same as to the
press and himself.
1t is rumored that Will Ell.
Parry, Seattle councilman-at-
large, would like to be governor,
that Mayor Humes believes he
would make better congressman
than Frank Cushman, and that
Corporation Counsel Humphrey
thinks his presence is needed upon
the state supreme bench. All
three are good men, but it is diff
cult to see how they can all expect
to secure qualification Of their
ambitions.
Gubernatorial candidates at
Spokane, Walla Walla, Pomeroy
and other points on this side of
the mountains are not backward
about expressing their opinion
that the governorship should be
awarded to Eastern Washington.
Their best geographical reason is
found in thessfact that we never
have had governor. All three
Of the men who have run things at
Olympia during the years since
the admission Of the state have
been chosen from Western Wash
ington counties. Eastern Wash
ington has sent many men to the
national capital, but has been ac-
corded few honors at Olympia
Spokane Outburst.
W. j. Walker, editor of Free
mans Labor Journal, Spokane,
was in Centralia Saturday looking
up matters political. Mr.. Walker
is m1ddle-Of-the-rOad POpulist,
and a man Of considerable ability
as well as Of much influence among
his followers. This year he is ad-
vocatinga union" ticket and has
been looking over the state to see
how it lis taking" He says that
a straight Fusion ticket would be
defeated in the state, but that
union party, with one platform
and one ticket, can win. He
thinks that the proposition will be
carried out. The News did not
learn to what conclusion Mr..
Walker arrived concerning Lewis
county. But he says one thing
positively, and that is he don't
propose becoming a Democrat.
Perhaps Mr. Walker has found
many Democrats who refuse to
become Populists. 90 n tre ia
