The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1900-04-06

OBJECT to knowing TO whom he
refers in ''my people"

Ii E. Hester Guie is not nomi-
mated for some high political office
some time in the near future, it
will be no fault of his. He has
been doing, it would appear, much
political work to get into office
here of late and his friends are
pushing him with a vengeance.

Attorney e. E. Cushman Of Ia
coma spent Monday in Seattle and
rumor has it that Ed was looking
after Brother Franks political in
terest. Ii such be true, he was in
Seattle on good cause, for who
would be expected to look after
brothers interest with more
earnestness than a brother?

Bert Taylor makes a splendid
secretary of convention, but the
important air he assumes when in
the performance of that duty,
would impress one that he was the
presidents private secretary.
Years ago friends Of Mr.. Taylor
charged him with being troubled
very much with the "swell head"
but it was probably not SO, they
just did not understand him.
There seems to be no probabi-
lily of gambling opening again
soon in Seattle. According to
street report, the gamblers lost an
important point, so far as they
were concerned, by not letting well
enough alone.
Col. James Hamilton Lewis
crysanthiums never shown off to
a better advantage than did they
at the Bryan banquet. He made
some happy hits and on the whole
was quite credit to Seattle.

For logic, profound reasoning
and lots of good hard horse sense
Governor Rogers toast, Our state,
was the speech Of the evening at
the banquet. It bristIed with
points of rare interest to the state
and was totally devoid Of flowers
and fancies. Bryan would have
done better had he borrowed some
OF the governors reasoning powers.

The Republican state convention
at Ellensburg to elect eight dele
gates to the National convention
was the next order of the week.
It assembled April 4th according
to the call, but adjourned over
until the 9th to give all an oppor-
tunity to be on hand. There was
but little for it to do and after
meeting and forming a permanent
organization with E. FL. Guie-
as chairman and J. Will Tyson as
secretary, the committee on reso-
lstions and other business were
quickly named and had soon per-
formed their duties and were
ready to report. The following
well known Republicans were
selected as delegates to the Ma
tional convention:
Levi Ankeny of Walla Walla.
DR.. L. M. Sims of Cowlitz.
E. G. Neufelder Of King.
G. Ell. Baker, Klickitat.
j. M. Ashton of Pierce.
n. B. Cofman Of Lewis.
Herbert S. Conner of Skagit.
Fred J. Hayfeld of Whitman.
The alternates are as follows:
DIR. j. W. Bean, L. A. Kennedy,
Adams; Chas. E. Coon, Jefferson
is. Miers, Ferry; s. G.. Cogsgrove,
Garfield; e. Baumeister, Asotin;
M. E. Hay; Lincoln; A. S. Lind
say, Chelan.
1t is also agreed that Senator
George FL. Baker is to be the
national committeeman.

Dewey's proclamation that he is
a Democrat makes his presidential
nomination and election all the
more hopeless.
u q u
EX-Speaker E. Ell. Guie returns
from the state convention and forth
with announces his candidacy for
the governorship Of this state.
There will be Others.
Uuu
Pennsylvania has endorsed
Bryan for president and that too
while Dewey was declaring him.
self Democrat.
1t is not at all probable that Sam
FL. Piles will any longer tie to the
Piper outfit.
