The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1900-12-28

Realizing that there are two dam
gerous factions in the Republican
party, that is, dangerous so far as
the future success of the Republican
party is concerned, a number of the
leading Republicans of this city are
bending their every energy toward
uniting the party in King county,
and toward uniting the party
throughout the entire state. It was
only last week that the Pie-makeI
quoted from a number Of leading
Republicans to the effect that Re-
publican club be formed in King
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1900-12-28

On the other hand, the originators
find it impossible to name an execu-
tive committee which is satisfactory
to the different factions. They had
about as much trouble to choose Off
GERS. To get man prominent in
either faction would never do, and
it was almost impossible to find a
politician of recognized ability who
had not been identified with the fac
lions if he had been a resident of
Spokane for any length Of time, So
finally the choice settled upon Mr..
Charles T. Uhlmann Of the Palace
market. He is a man Of unlimited
political acquaintance in Spokane
and not prominently identified with
any faction. But he is an old-time
Republican Of Tacoma and a man Of
recognized political ability.
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1900-12-28

The political event Of the week
was the organization of the Spokane
County Republican Club on last
Wednesday evening. 1t was the sub
ject of heated discussion before the
meeting, of warm debate during the
meeting and of decided differences
of opinion since the meeting. Some
believe the motives of the promoters
are selfish and bad, Others are con-
WINGED the originators desire only
what they claim to want-"har-
mOny." The meeting was well at
tended. Some, however, came only
to object. They can not be convinc-
ed it is not organized to promote the
interests of certain of the prime
movers-to be plain-to put certain
people into office and to put Others
in a position where they can secure
nominations in the future. Some
say as soon as the executive commit
tee is published it will be seen who
the men are who are to be favored.

not known. The ten men have been
selected, but the list may be changed
before the next meeting. The men
who would have been named at last
Wednesdays meeting had they been
called for are c. B. Hopkins, A. NJ.
Murphey, J. z. Moore, Jake Blake,
S. A. Wells, M. T. Harrison, Harl ].
Cook, Governor Black, W. S. Nc
Crea and DR.. Morrison. One or two
of these would like to be left off the
committee, therefore there may be
changes But this list of well-known
Republicans is the best evidence that
has been offered to prove that the
whole affair is on the square"
The legislature of the state will
convene January 18th, and already
the members thereof are securing
places to stay during the term. The
respective members Of the legislature
are being importuned almost unpre-
cedentedly by persons who want to
serve in the legislature as clerks and
helpers in general. Each of them it
is said has received large numbers Of
letters every day, either from appi-
cants or from persons indorsing the
applicants for this and that place |
That it has become annoying in the
extreme is seen on being introduced
to one of the members, when he at
once asks you if it is position in
the legislature you want, and, if so,
you had better file your application T
and it will be considered in the reg
ular routine. There are instances
where persons holding splendid posi-
tons that last the year around who
are anxious to leave them and 90 to
the legislature to get a position
which lasts not to exceed sixty DAYS
and more often not more than fifty
days. For this they get from three
to four dollars day, sometimes five,
which, to say the least, does not net
them over two hundred dollars, and
out of this they have to pay board
and lodging while there, which will
take the most of one hundred dol
lar bill to cover It will thus be seen
that the person getting fifty dollars
4 month steadily loses money to quit
their position and get work at the
hands of the legislature for two
months, though they may get at the
rate of five dollars per day.
Monday, January 18th, will mean
grand change around among coun-
y officials at the county court house,
not only in King county, but at
every court house in the state Of
Washington. On that day the Of
icers elected last November will take
charge of the respective offices they
we're elected to fl Land they, for the
most part, will install new deputies |
n the various departments in those
offices. In King county there was
out one county official that was re-
elected to the position that he has
Tiled for the past two years, and that
vas Assessor Bailey. There will be
40 changes in his office and things
Will move on after the 14th just the :
same as before.

county, and the leading spirits there
in be taken from both Of the two
great factions in King county, and
that those persons that have so bit
terly antagonized each other in the
past step aside and allow the party
to get together for future harmony
and party success. This has met the
approval of the most of the leading
Republican politicians and many
amens have been said during the
past week to the spirit and purport
Of the article. Now, let those gen.
tlemen make the first effort and cali
a club meeting at an early date of
the coming year and century and let
them start the Republican party off
on the right foot in the new cen
fury. When properly organized
there is no reason why the Republi-
can party cannot win in King coun-
ty and the state Of Washington i'll
general for the next quarter Of a
century. The sentiment Of the state
is overwhelmingly Republican, and
grow as it will or may, it is bound to
continue so for the next two decades
or more.
