POLITICAL P0T-PIE

Since the formal announcement Of
Levi Ankeny as a candidate for the
United states senate in 1902 has
been made much speculation as to
the real outcome of that contest has
been INDUCED in by the citizens of
Seattle. Said one gentleman who
was strong Wilson man in 1898:
q would not be surprised to see
Levi Ankeny elected to the United
States senate in 1908. He has his
friends well organized, and they are
continuing to organize in those Sec
tions where he has not already or
ganized. I may be mistaken, but [
am of the opinion that the majority
Of the present hold-over senators
will favor the election of Ankeny,
and if that be true, and | don't doubt
ii, it viii give him strong founda-
ton on which to begin operations.
He will have an equal show at get
ting his share Of the senators that
will be elected in the fall Of 1909,
and there is no doubt but that he
viii have a strong following among
the Republican representatives Of
the. lower house that will be elected
at the same time. Then it must not
be overlooked that Mr.. Ankeny,
though banker, has something Of a
following among the Populists Of
this state. [ feel certain if he had |
gotten. enough votes, lacking two or
three, to have elected him to the
United States senate in 1898, he
would at once have gotten enough |
Populist votes to more than have
elected him. Those opposed to Mr..
Ankeny's election were quite aware
Of that fact, and that is why they |
struggled so hard to prevent him
from getting within four or five
votes of election. Remembering all
this, | am constrained to believe that
Levi Ankeny is and will be the
strongest senatorial candidate that
will hang his single out at the leg
islature in Olympia in 1908"

Mr.. Rosenhaupt, being from Spo-
kane, and being the only candidate
that Will come from Eastern Wash
ington, appears to be the logical
candidate, and the odds for election
are quite in his favor. The Pie
maker does not know what faction, if
any, is pulling for Mr.. Rosenhaupt,
but he does know, or he has reason
to believe that he knows, that East
ern Washington will be almost a unit
for the election of Mr.. Rosenhaupt.
If it is and the combination is made
with the southwest, it is more than
likely that he will be elected by an
overwhelming majority. Mr.. AL
bertson, of King county, has the
King county delegation at his back,
and the Pie-maker is Of the opinion
that they will stand for his election
as long as there any hopes, which
will not be very long, but to even
think Of success, it will require quite
a number Of combinations with other
sections Of the state to bring it
about, and this, it is feared, neither
Mr. Albertson nor his friends can
not do.

ell Co., 716 First avenue.

The speakership contest for the
next legislature is still on, and many
of the state papers are still discuss
ing the most plausible candidate for
that position. AS said some time ago,
there are four avowed candidates for
the place, viz: Hon. A. J. Falknor,
Of Olympia; Hon. J. H. yesterday,
Of Tacoma; Hon. Harry Rosen-
haupt, Of Spokane, and Hon. R. B.
Albertson, Of Seattle. The Pie
maker still believes that there will
be other candidates, and that the
northwest and southwest will each
have candidates for the speakership,
and that the man who will be elected
has not as yet been agreed upon.
While Mr.. Falknor would make an
ideal candidate, his location in the
state hurts his chances for election.
He halls from the southwest, and
this section of the state has already
had three officers elect and it GER
tainly cannot expect any more.

''The general public is quite well
informed as to the ability of James
A. Kerr to represent the state OF
Washington in either branch of con-
gress, and, if our candid opinions
were to be given on oath, we would
say Mr.. Kerr would prove to be the
strongest and most effective worker
Of the three. During his campaign
ing in this state he has made a most
favorable impression upon all classes
Of voters, and with him as a candi-
date King county would have a
standard bearer around whom it
could rally and to whom many out
side counties would come with a
rush. It might be said Of Judge
Burke that he has too long affiliated
with the Democratic party to ever be
a successful Republican candidate.
Judge Burke has never as yet an
nounced that he is a Republican
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1900-12-14

AS to Mr. yesterdays being a
candidate, he is in about the same
boat as that Of Mr.. Falknor. Hail
ing from Tacoma as he does, that
city and county cannot expect any
more state fayors than it already has.
Tacoma has a United States senator
and congressman and the Pie-maker
is of the opinion that the balance Of
the state will say to Tacoma when
the legislature conveneS, You al
ready have quite enough without
asking for more

tendency However, on the spur Of
the moment, Lewis would come pref
ty near capturing the Democratic
legislature if he declared himself an
avowed and persistent candidate.
But such is only idle speculation, for
there is no probability Of there being
a Democratic or Populist legislature
in this state for the next decade or
more. Fusionism has been COM
pletely routed, hip and thigh, horse
and dragon, and to that extent it
will be impossible for it to ever gain
sufficient strength for the next ten
years at least to put up decent fight
against Republicanism and Republi-
can nominees.
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1900-12-14

Others commented on the senator
ial situation more favorable to Seat
tie at least than that above men
toned, which was to the effect that
King county was deserving Of the
next United States senator and if
the voters of King county, irrespec-
tive of party, would fight to that
end, there is no doubt but that the
man elected to the United States
senate in 1903 from this state would
be King county man from start to
finish. The Republicans may not
be exactly united on what man they
will support, but they are united on
supporting a King county man.
Quite a number Of prominent Re-
publicans are spoken of in this con-
nection, and it is more than likely
that the leaders Of King county in
the Republican party will get to-
gether before many months, and for
mulate a plan whereby they can all
unite on some man who will be
prominent and popular all over King
county as well as other counties and
communities of this state. A man
around whose candidacy they can.
successfully rally, and man who
will bring strength to the cause
rather than weaken it. Said a
group Of politicians to the Pie-maker
this week: eve have in our minds
three men who will make ideal can
didates for the United States senate.
Just now we are not prepared to say
as to which of them we will support,
if either, for the place, but if either
of them is decided upon, he would
prove very formidable candidate.
We have no hesitancy in naming the
three men we have in mind, and
have no objection to their names APP
peaTing in print in this connection.
Whlle we nave not consulted them
as to whether they would permit
their names to be used or not, they
would be splendid political draw
ing cards. The names Of the men we
have in mind are Ex-senator
John B. Allen, Hon. James A. Kerr
and Judge Thomas Burke. No man
that the state Of Washington could
elect would be Of more service to the
state and do Seattle more good than
Mr.. Allen. In this we speak from
experience, as during his term as
United States senator, he ably and
conscientiously represented the state
Of Washington, not in part, but in
toto.
