The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1900-07-13

Prof. Taylor and his candidacy
Prof. Joseph Marion Taylor, Of Seat
tie, man well known in educational
circles on the Pacific coast, mas an
nounced his candidacy for superin-
tendent Of public instruction at the
hands Of the Republican state con
corner one day this week stood Sher-
yention. 1t has been our privilege to
know the gentleman very well for the
past twenty years and We take much
pleasure in recommending him to the
Adams county delegation as a most
worthy and highly qualified person
for the position. No name could bet
ter grace the state ticket, and no
honor can be bestowed upon him that
would bring regret to the people of
Washington. With broad views,
long experience and extended ac-
quaintance over the state, this peer
less young man would be a pillar of
strength before the people in the
coming campaign.
1t would appear that the late chief
clerk of the house Of representatives
Of the Washington legislature, who
strutted about the hall while that
body was in session like unto a great
stuffed frog whose brains were some
where slowed away in its belly, is not
the whole thing for truth and verac-
ity after all. Here is what the Wash
ington Independent has to say about
him: That lying W. T. Dillon de-
clares reform politics in Eastern
Washington are mixed and against
the denomination Of Governor Rog-
erS. Ananias was gentleman enough
to kill himself for lying and betray-
ing trust, but this man Dillon still
lives and is in a fair way to lie on to
the end Of his life. Thus the breed
Of liars is deteriorating and refuse to
Kill themselves as they are in duty
bound to the community to do.

Telling tales out of school" is just
what Judge W. Ell. Moore and Editor
Tom Church are now doing. The
former has sued the latter for small
sum of money, which he was COM
PEELED to pay some months ago to
keep from getting sued himself, and
now the two are telling some very
unpleasant party condolences to the
public as to the cause of the mote"
and the subsequent law suit for the
collection Of the same. One thing is
certain, that if politicians would sue
every newspaper and CRATER that
gets money from them during cleo
ton times they would have a good
many law suits to look after. The
Pie-maker suggests to Moore and
Church that they had better settle
their differences out of court and not
make campaign fodder for the other
party, and if the principals to the af-
fair will not settle it, then the Sec
onds had better take it into their
hands and order it settled instanter.
1t would be too bad to have to refer
those gentlemen to the old adage.
"When thieves fall out honest men
get their own"

A communication from a leading
churchman Of this section of the
state to the Pie-maker on the guber-
material situation spoke out very
plainly as to Mayor Humes being
nominated for governor by the Re
publicans: ''If Mr.. Humes is nomin-
ated the churches will make a body
blow to defeat him at the polls. The
fight will be taken to every voting
precinct in the state and will be
taken up by every preacher in the
state. They do not propose to reach
the voters through the partisan news
papers, but by actual canvas. The
Republicans will make a great mis-
take if they nominate that man
Humes for the governorship. In the
late city election not less than 1900
