Avote for Cute Is a Vote for Humes

Mr.. Cute has entered a modest dis
claimer of fusion with the interests of
Mayor Humes. In a local article we
give some facts of record which show
how singularly Mr.. Cute. in naming
candidates at the caucuses to represent
him. relies upon the fidelity of Humes'
supporters; men who are as openly
committed to the mayors candidacy as
any leader who win go to the conven-
ton from the First ward. IL we are to
accept Mr.. Guie's word. then we fear
that he is too innocent and unsophisti-
Gated for the guileful world Of politics.
For those supporters Of his whom we
have distinguished by mention care
nothing whatever for Mr.. Guie except
as they can swing votes to Humes
under his name.
There is one point which we wish the
voters to understand clearly: and that
is. that vote for the Humes candidate
for chairman OF the county convention
is vote for Humes as candidate for
governor. 1t is on the organization of
the convention that the test of strength
will be made. and by that the event will
be decided. II Humes man is chosen,
he will be instructed to name the dele
gates, and every one Of them will be
a Humes man. openly or secretly
pledged TO his support.
The trick has been used extensively,
in the precincts opposed to Mayor
Humes. of urging voters to support
Cute Instead. They are filed with the
idea that they can help Mr.. Cute by
voting for his delegates, and that
somewhere or at some time the votes
In the convention will be cast directly
for Frink, Humes and Cute respective
ly. Nothing OF the sort will happen.
The representatives Of Mr.. Guile will
vote for the Humes candidate for
chairman: II he IL successful there will
be no escape from a Humes delegation.
For this reason. perfectly plain to any
one who knows convention procedure,
perfectly proved II Cute delegate is
obliged to declare whether he viii vote
with the Frink men or the Humes men
in the organization. 1t 10 proved that
a vote for Guile is a vote for Humes.
Let there be no deception and no mis-
understanding on this point.

Has Earned His denomination.

So much Is said and heard of the
fight in this county for the nomination
for governor that less attention is given
to a contest as earnest and as hotly
fought for the sherifrs ONCE. The
friends Of the two candidates are put
ting forth their utmost efforts In every
district in the county and the struggle
has been hot one.
There are two reasons either OF which
should decide the voters of King county
to give their support to Sheriff Van De
vanter. One Is that the wooding ma
chine and the Humes machine and the
Ankeny machine are all closely con-
plan. The managers of John Wooding
are supporting him, as they are sup
porting Mayor Humes. to capture the
control OF the party organization for the
banker who would be senator. To this
pass has II come: not only that King
county cannot name candidate for
governor unless he is first stamped zap
proved" by the Ankeny machine. but
that 1t cannot nominate a sheriff un-
less he comes with letter of introduce
ton from the same august body There
fore Sheriff Van De yanter should be
renomiuated, because he is the candi-
date opposed to this foreign and obnox-
ious dictation in King county politics.
He should be renominated. in the
second place, because he has been an
efficient officer. II Is the custom in
this county to give a second term TO
men who have approved themselves TO
the public by faithful and competent
service. Not even his enemies viii deny
this tribute to Sheriff Van DE vanter.
He is strong man, shrewd to plan,
prompt 10 execute. faithful to his party.
loyal TO the community, terror to
evll-doers This is the very best OF all
reasons why he should have the peo-
Pies support. because he has served
them capabiy and we'll 1t Is to the
best interests Of King county that he
should have the recognition that he has
fairly earned.

The Beers who believe that II Bryan

election is too slim to be the basis Of
any intelligent action: and If he were

hottest benefit to the cause Of the Beers.

fortunes with an organization that was
to be permanent factor in American
politics. The craze died out, however.
just as all crazes do. and the most of
those who were once jealous in the
cause Of fiat money now smile at their
delusion.
The Populists have run a course sim
liar to that OF the rag money advo-
Gates. They believed that they had
come to stay. and some of them still
hold to the idea that their party is to
remain a positive force in the political
campaign of the future. But the dis
Indignation is coming faster than they
are aware of: in fact, it is already at
an advanced stage. There is little or
no Populism in the East: the Populist
party is practically extinct In the
South; and in the West where It at
tanned its greatest power It is kept
alive only through receiving nourish-
ment at the breast of fusion. With the
awakening of the real Democracy from
this end-of- the-century nightmare. and
an abandonment of the demoralizing
practice OF cheap alliances, the Popul-
list party will wither like a fallen leaf.
There is not enough behind the pro-
posed party of the Ants to warrant
their hoping that they are launching
an organization that viii be in any
sense permanent. If they are in favor
Of sound money they should vote the
Republican ticket; IL they are against
It and expansion they should sup
port Bryan. Their own independent
ticket will receive no support worth
mentioning, and IL they desire that
their votes represent protest against
the two old parties and they cast them
for their own candidates. they will be
surprised to learn In November how
feeble that protest has been.
