And now the name Of Thomas
Jefferson Humes is being quietly
whispered in connection with the
Republican gubernatorial nomina-
ton. Any man that can be re-
elected to the mayoralty in Seattle
is worthy of a nomination for
governor, reasons the street poll
tician, and, Tom Humes has done
that very thing, and Seattle should
whoop it up for him. The Pie
maker must admit that, it is quite
a political feat to be reelected to
the mayoralty in Seattle, and he
does not believe it can be done
unless the person who does it, first
hypnotizes the voters, as has
Honest %, Tom Humes but he
considers it a dangerous PROPOSE
ton to go before the entire state
on the hypnotic idea. It may be
easy enough to hypnotic all
Seattle and even King county, but
it might not win all over the state.
The Pie-maker predicted that
should Humes be reelected he
would announce himself for some
other Office before two weeks
would pass, and now, here it is.
Since Levi Ankeny is candidate
for the same job it would appear
that this brace Of statesmen for
Office will fatally collide, politi-
cally speaking, before they will
have travelled very far on the gu
bernatorial road. Levi may have
paid the freight for Toms senate
rial campaign but he will hardly
pay it for his gubernatorial cam
paign even with the prospects of
losing King county.

A noticeable feature about the
White River journal is, every
week itnever looses an opportunity
to tell about the entire preambu-
lations Of Superintendent Public
Schools Merideth. When and
where he visited the week prior is
always to be found in the columns
OF the Journal every week. Now
there is no way for the Journal to
find out all such except Mr.. Meri-
deth reports it himself and the
journal therefore must have a
financial understanding with him
for SO much news, each which is
simply SO much advertising matter.
What queer ways some people
take to get themselves politically
advertised. It is said on the cute
that Mr.. Merideth will be candi-
date for state superintendent Of
public schools on the Anti-Repub-
lican ticket or tickets next fall, and
he has arranged with the Journal
to allow him SO much space each
week to tell his constituents what
a great work he is doing. Well, if
this be true, all the Pie-maker has
to say, there are others in the self
advertising business like unto that
of Mr.. Merideth.
"Truth crushed to the ground
will rise again." is maxim that
many of the would be politicians
that think they have the horse
laugh on those politicians that
fought the denomination of Mayor
Humes, had better think about
while in their merry glee. Those
men thought they were right, and,
while they may have been exceed
ingly bitter in their accommodation
of the man before the convention
met, yet they did the proper thing
after he had been nominated by
loyalty supporting him. That
there are two great factions in the
Republican party in this county at
there is no denying, and,
that there is danger of either one
of them exploding at any time,
