appreciation of the wty in which the Re-
me in this fight.
I'm looking over the returns from King
county ! am much gratiied... feel more
kindly than ever towards the rank and
file OF the King county voters.
1T is now. as 1t always has been. my in
tention to work for the interests Of all
sections of this state, and certainly have
ing to all the interests OF Seattle / hope
to prove that by my actions, both In Of
fetal and private life. during my coming
term
1T is my constant aim to bear in mind
while working at the capital that l am
the representative of no locality, but OF
the entire state. Inc needS OF This part
of the country are many and it is my
endeavor to do all in my power to further
the passage OF measures that will be of
benefit to the commonwealth.
THE citizens of Seattle may be assured
thst VIII make an honest and spirited
fight 10 secure, among other improve
ments. large appropriation for first
class public building In that city, and this
year have great hopes that we may be
able to accomplish II.
III at any time Seattle wants any,
thing done at Washington her citizens
have only to write me. and | will take
great pleasure In aiding them in any rea-
sonable matter. and I will do all In my
power to further their interests.
1T is to the advantage of the entire
state when an appropriation is made for
the erection of a building, or the con-
struction of any Improvement. at any
point within it's borders. Such proceed
ing results In benefits to the tradesman
the manufacturer, the skilled mechanic,
and the laborer. 1t increases the trade
not only OF the immediate localitv where
the work is in progress, but OF the en-
tire state, and In addition 1t causes tho
skilled workmen of adjacent states to
remove their homes TO the location where
such employment may be found.
Il hope to go to Seattle before leaving
for Washington, and thus get an oppor-
tunity to personally thank the many who
have so splendidly supported me in this
night. IL Is my intention to leave for the
East November IA or Is. 1 am compelled
to stop day or two at points on the
road, and desire to be In Washington by
the end of November In order that may
have an opportunity to attend to num-
Der of matters and get everything ready
for effective work before the session
opens.
= still have hopes that Mr.. Frink may
gull through, AS some counties which may
materially change the present situation
are yet to be heard from. l have done
all In my power to elect him. and sim
cerely hope to see him made the chief
executive of the state of Washington.
I addressed meeting here on the last
evening OF the campaign, and then urged
the voters to cast their ballots for Mr.
Frink. | made thar plea In all earnest
ness. and II is very much to be regretted
that there Is any possibility of Mr.. frink
defeat.
However, the balance of the state
ticket Is undoubtedly elected which
pleases me greatly, and a legislature al
most entirely Republican will aid the Of
ficials in their work of building up the
state OF Washington"
