The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1900-06-08

"Say, landlord, what kind of
game is that being played all over
town, where one fellow hollos,
keno and the other fellows says,
oh HE'LL innocently asked an
Eastern tenderfoot in a Montana
town. The tenderfoot afterwards
himself learned how to say "hell'
just the same as the other fel ows,
and in the very same spirit. Now
there is ching loose in this
city, that is shouting on every
street corner, "Humes must be the
next governor Of this state,'' and,
invariably, when he says it to
crowd, he gets, ooh, hell"
81 am for some Olympia man
for governor of this state. [ do
not care who that man is just so
he is a thorough Republican"
came from Mr.. Dexter Horton, the
old millionaire pioneer of Seattle,
one day this week. Seattle wants
a member Of congress, and, If she
can not get that, she does not need
anything. Had it not been for
''our present beloved mayor,
Seattle would now have United
States senator, but his greed for
Office has caused Seattle to lose
many thousand dollars. Such
men should be- set down on, and, [
am willing to see them set down
on, even though Seattle does not
get the governorship of this state %

"There was time when / was
for Tom Humes for most any old
thing he wanted, " said Mr.. Angus
W. Young, "but [ am now un-
equivically in favor Of King county
endorsing the candidacy of Hon.
j. M. Frink for the governorship
of the Evergreen state. If he
does not carry the Eighth ward it
will be no fault of mine, and, [ am
Of the opinion, that there are a
good many others, who in the past
have supported Tom Humes, that
are of like opinion regarding the
candidacy of J. M. Frink.

81 am not in Seattle to discuss
politics nor anything bearing on
politics." remarked Hon. S. G..
Cosgrove of Pomeroy one day this
week, who is delegate to the
annual Odd Fellows conclave that
is being held in the city this week.
However, I learn from the Pie
maker that King county is not
very unanimous in its choice for
a gubernatorial nominee, which
fact does not give me very much
inward pain, since there are
others besides those IN King
county, who are likewise candidates
for the higher honor that Mr..
Frink, Mr.. Humes and Mr.. Guie
aspire to capture"
'Let not your heart be troubled"
came from a Fifth ward politician,
who is quite next to himself as to
the county situation on the guber-
Material question, "for J. M. Frink
will carry the next primaries Of
King county over Tom Humes by
not less than two to one, and things
are continuing to come Frink's
way. In my opinion Tom Humes
will draw out of the race before
another month more, but, il he
does not, he is all the same beat
now. King county wants a bust
ness man to represent her and not
a professional politician that has
done naught else since he has been
in the state but ask for first one
Office and then another. / repeat,
never fear, for Frink's candidacy
is q winner"

It is said that the Piper-Humes
factions are advocating that King
county hold its convention some
time during the present month or
early in July. What either side
would gain by such a move is
more than the Pie-maker is able
