The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1900-06-15


the Tacoma papers will bear a
swift witness and which fact Mr..
Cushman himself has more than
} once acknowledged to this paper
over his own signature, and the
attempt of the above miserable
little sheet to pervert the truth
shows the rotten stuff it's editor
is made out Of.
politics is rather hot tomalie
IN Seattle" jocularly remarked
Senator Sargent of Buckley one
day this week as he shook hands
with the Pie-maker. Well, yes, [
am Informed that the law firm of
Crowley & Groscup is supporting
the candidacy Of E. Holster Guie,
as he is pleased to term himself.
but the rank and file of the voters
OF Pierce county favor the candi-
dacy OF Hon. J. M. Frink, and, if
he is endorsed by the Republican
county convention of King, he will
get the support Of the Pierce
county delegation. Mr.. Frink's
candidacy is very popular among
the voters of my section and we
sincerely trust that he will receive
the endorsement of King. The
candidacy of Mr.. Humes is gen.
orally considered that of greedy
politician who is never satisfied at
what he is given by his constitu-
ents.
Eyes it is true that [ am a can
didate for sheriff of Pierce county
and | feel absolutely certain of
getting the nomination. J. c..
Taylor is also a candidate for the
same office and he halls from the
same district as [ do, but / do not
fear but that | will get a majority
OF the delegates and that will
settle it so far as he is concerned.

mated l am certain of election

Frink headquarters have been
fitted up in the Star-Boyd bull
ding, room 33l, where you are
welcome to visit at anv time
through the day. Mr.. Frank Fl.
Paul spends the most of the after
moons there consulting with
friends.
Apropos the announcement of
ex-State Senator Sargent to the
effect that, ''the Northern Pacific
OF Tacoma is backing the candi-
dacy of B. Hester Guie," comes
the report from another source
that the law firm of Crowley &
Groscup, Northern Pacific attor-
neys, have sent word over to a
number Of leading Seattle politi-
clans to the effect that, unless
King county endorsed Guie for
governor King county would get
nothing at the hands of the next
Republican state convention.
That is putting it pretty strong
and 1t was news to the Republi-
cans Of King county to learn that
Crowley & Groscup owned the Re
publican party of this state to the
extent as to say who it would
nominate for this or that office.
The Pie-maker is of the opinion
that the state of Washington has
no two other men within her con-
fines, who have less political in
fuence, save among a few Pierce
county politicians, than Crowley
& Groscup, and there seems to be
no doubt but that the state never
had two men with less political
gratitude in them than those two
men. Hon. Edward B. Palmer
and DIR. r. M. Eames, who made
ii possible for the election of
Blundering Foster to the United
States senate, were told by Gros-
cup the next day after the election,
that Guie and his followers, after
all, were the men from King
county to be thanked for the
election of Foster. It is useless
to add that Mr.. Palmer pro-
nounced Mr.. Groscnp the most
