THE Seattle Times seems to be good
deal more wrought UP about the ticket
to be nominated by the Republican
state convention than the Post-In
telligencer, which it represents TO
be a "Wilson organ" intent upon
the nomination of j. M. Frink for
governor and the election of state
ticket agreeable to ex-senator Wilson.
In the meantime the ex-senator him.
self is in Alaska, enjoying a pleasure
trip with his wife and daughter, while
the Humes-Ankeny heelers would
have it appear that he is putting ur
jobs in all parts of the state to carry
primaries and county conventions to
serve his own purposes. The probable
fly becomes stronger every day tina,
Mr.. Frink will be nominated for the
governorship, not because of his affilia
ton with any party faction, but be-
cause party leaders who are not tied tc
any faction and the thousands who
have little sympathy with the conten
lions which serve no other purpose
than the furtherance of personal ends
believe that Mr.. Frink if nominated
will not only be elected, but will be o
governor who will command the re-
epect Of all factions and be just to all
sections and interests SO far as lies with
in his power.
