Ballard, it is believed, will send
a solid Frink delegation. The
News Of that city, independent in
politics, is supporting the candi-
dacy of Senator Frink, while the
Union, heretofore Humes organ,
is rather inclined to Frink at this
time, which warrants the state
ment that Ballard will be a Frink
stronghold in the next primary
contest.

Speaking about outside aid for
King county there seems to be no
doubt whatever but that if Mr..
Frink gets King county's endorse
ment he will finally get the bulk
Of the southwest combination as
we'll as a heavy following from the
northwest. Pierce county can not
do other than support King
county's choice for governor, pro-
viding always that King county
herself is united, and she will be.
From eastern Washington Senator
Frink can reasonably expect Spo-
kane's cooperation for the COVER
norship, now that Judge Moore
has been completely silenced
A reasonable support from the
sections herein enumerated simply
means the nomination of J. M.
Frink beyond a question. Mr..
Ankeny may get some following in
the southwest for his choice for
governor and some in the north
west, but by no means enough to
offset the heavy vote that will 90
to King county's choice for gov
ernor, providing that choice is j.
M. Frink.
The local papers have had much
to say about an important confer
ence" that Levi Ankeny and E. G
Neufelder are to hold in the East,
which may result in Mr.. Ankeny
Withdrawing his support from
Honest Tom Humes and throwing
it to Little Guie, who made him
self famous in state politics by
boiling the regular Republican
caucus because that caucus did not
select a man for the United States
senate suitable to his wishes. The
Pie-maker attaches very little
importance to the supposed con-
ference, even though it is an
actuality, for what has Mr.. Neu-
fielder to deliver up to Mr.. Ankeny
from political point Of view?
Perhaps the precinct that Mr..
Neufelder lives in might be infu-
enced one way or the other bv his
change of fronts, but not another
precinct in the whole county
would give his opinion sober
second political thought re-
CARELESS of what candidate he en-
dorsed. No one, save few imme-
diate friends and admirers, know
E. G.. Neufelder from Adams off
OK, (this is said in all friendli-
ness, and his personel in cam
paign would be of no more conse-
quence, save among one or two
banker politicians, and would cut
no more political ice than would a
street laborer's, and not near SO
much as some Of them, who take
an active interest in ward politics.
Let Mr.. Neufelder boost either
Candidate Humes or Bolter Cute
and it will not hurt Mr.. Frink's
candidacy a single particle, aside
from his own personal vote.

The candidacy of Frank W.
Cushman has had no more ardent
advocate, even in Pierce county,
than The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN
has given it, and it is laughable in
the extreme to read the following
excerpt from the Northwest Re-
publican:
1t is the anti Wilson men that
al, along have been the friends of
Cushman and Jones, for if the
Wilson element could have done
SO there would have been a con-
gressional candidate from King
county. The conclusion snch
