The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1901-10-25
POLITICAL POT-PIE


The Pie-maker notes the activity
of Paul Hedrick, the political report
er Of the Times, in bringing out
mayoralty candidates. While there
is some truth in some things Paul
says, the most of it is dream SINH
lar to those Dave Larimer used to
publish in the Times as political
prophesy. Notwithstanding this,
there is quite a bit Of casting about
for mayoralty timber for next spring,
such as would best Tom Humes in
the primary election by the Republi-
cans. Who that man will be at the
present time is unforeseen, and no
one, however sagacious and shrewd a
politician he may be, can name him
or even intimate his name. It is
rather amusing to see the active in
terest that the Times takes in finding
a political Moses for the Republican
party, and especially since there is so
much need of Moses to be found in
the Democratic party to oppose the
Republican nominee in the coming
spring contest, whoever he may be-.

Judge J. A. Stratton is being talk
ed Of by a few Of the more indepen-
dent radical Republicans, and like
wise by the strong voting element
commonly known as the church ele-
ment. They are especially support
ing Mr.. Stratton on account Of his
decision Of character, his positive
ness as either being for OF against
any measure that might come before
him. While they do not believe that
he Will favor the church element any
more SO than any other element Of
voters in the city, yet he will enfor ce
the laws as he finds them on the
statute and ordinance books. Judge
Stratton has not indicated either by
word or action that he would accept
the nomination, if it was rendered to
him, and it is all speculation on the
part Of those supporting him in the
advocacy Of his nomination.

Speaking about the various candi-
dates for the mayoralty Of this city
among the Republicans reminds the
Pie-maker that there have been quite
a few persons correctly named in
connection with the next mayoralty
contest who are in about the same
condition as was Barkus, perfectly
willingto be sacrificed for the good Of
his party. Among those more prom
inently spoken Of, coming from the
Republicans are, Hon. E. L. Blaine.
Judge G. G. Austin, County Com
missioner George N. Gibson, Judge
J. A. Stratton, Mr.. G. II. Lilly
Thomas Humes and others. Among
the Democrats those most favorably
spoken Of are Judge W. H. Moore,
Hon. J. W. Goodwin, Mr.. William
Pigott and others.

the mayoralty chair. Some time ago
it was stated in these columns that
George Piper, the notorious tramp
from Oregon, had decided to fight
the further ambitions Of Tom
Humes, the Levi Ankeny stalking
horse, but subsequent developments
contradict this statement, as the
slippery George is now at work in
behalf of Tom Humes. Evidently
Mr.. Ankeny has supplied George
with another batch Of sinews Of war
and has promised Tom Humes an
other fat position if he will only
keep up confusion in the Republican
ranks Of Seattle. But be that as it
will or may, there is no doubt Of the
fact that Humes is a candidate and
that Piper is working for him.

Mr.. c. III. Lilly, the business mems
candidate, has considered it stroke
Of good business policy to refuse to
become a candidate for the position.
Mr.. Lilly, the Pie-maker wishes to
say, would have made an ideal can
didate for the nomination and cleo
ton, but it is doubtful if he would
have made an ideal mayor, simply
because he is not a politician, and
the ward heelers and political buns
Of the city would have taken advan-
tage of his political inexperience and
caused him to make plumbers that
would have all but ruined him in a
business way. He acted very wisely
when he refused to consider the
nomination for a single moment.
However, had he decided to take the
nomination, as said above, he would
have been an ideal candidate, as all
factions would have supported him
with vengeance.

Tom Humes, the perennial candi-
date for something, will again ask the
voters of Seattle for their suffrage to
make him mayor. Already his strik-
ers are out singing his praise and
telling what a glorious administra-
ton his has been and why he should
be renominated and elected. AS US
ual, the vicious element in the city
IS taking the lead in shaping the po-
litical destinies Of Honest Tom
Humes, 50 as to land him again into

between the Goodwin and Moore fac
tons, but at this writing he has not
consented to do so. He is a popular
business man in this city and head of
one Of the largest firms herein, but
he deVotes his entire time to his bust
ness, and like Mr. G. IL. Lilly on the
Republican side Of the house, if
he should ever be nominated and
elected his inexperience would be
taken advantage of by the tinhorn
politicians, and he might be served
to a similar dose as that served to J.
L. Ronald, the Democratic mayor of
this city, elected some ten years ago.
Other Democrats have been asked
to aspire for this nomination, but
none save a few politicians have
shown any desire to accept it. James
Hamilton Lewis was asked to become
a candidate, but he unqualifedly re-
fused L. Q. Gilman has also been
asked to become candidate, but he
likewise refused; In fact, the Demo-
Gratis are in similar boat to that oc-
cupied by the Republicans, looking
for a Moses to lead them to success.
Ii DR.. Hermon T. Titus is respon-
slble for the utterance Of |'Uncle
Sam" in the Socialist paper then he
is a most excellent @ subject to oc-
cupy the position Of school director
in this city. In the last issue Of the
Socialist Uncle Sam" used the fol-
lowing language: statistics prove
that there is more prostitution with
III the marriage bond than out Of it,
for the woman who submits to the
lust Of her husband for the sake Of
getting bonnet or a dress is no bet
ter than the prostitute who receives
cash" Whoever is responsible for
the publication Of such language is
a fiend incarnate, and the men of
this city should rise up and drive
such monsters into the bay God
forbid that the voters Of Seattle
should ever so far forget themselves
as to elect such a BLACKBOARD as the
writer Of this language as a director
OF the public schools where the lit
tie children are compelled to attend.
Ralph Ross, who misappropriated
some 81 300 of government funds
while clerk in the internal revenue
office, has been indicted, arraigned
IN court, plead guilty and sentenced
to SIX months imprisonment by
Judge Hanford He has already
served five months Of the time in the
county jail, and will have but one
month more to serve at McNeill's ISL
land. Ross can consider himself
lucky in receiving such a light SEN
tence as this, for, had he been some
one else besides whom he really is.
he would have received not less than
ten years confinement in the United
States penitentiary
j. Pierpont Morgan and a party Of
New York capitalists visited Seattle
last Sunday and spent a few hours

man in the United States, if not the
world.

Among the Republicans the Pie
maker is of the opinion that Mr.. E.
L. Blaine will under no circum-
stances make the fight. He is backed
primarily and principally by the
church element, though he has some
strong friends among the business
men Of the city Mr.. Blaine would
make an able and efficient mayor if
he were ever nominated and elected,
but it is feared that even though he
should succeed in getting the nomi-
nation, he would be defeated at the
polls, owing to the fact that the ten
derloin element would fight him to
the bitter end on account Of his
the bitter end on account
of his pronounced church
views. For this reason il
can be almost positively stated that
Mr.. Blaine will not be a candidate
for mayor and would not accept the
nomination even though it was ten
dered him by the unanimous vote OF
the convention.

George N. ellison, county commits
sioner, has decided to enter the may
orally cantest and proposes to make a
clean, straight fight for the nomina-
ton Mr. Gibson early announces
that he is no mans candidate and
no factional tool; that he at the
proper time will be a candidate for
the mayorship, and hopes to succeed
both at the primaries and at the
polls. Should he be elected, he does
not intend to take any part In the
coming senatorial contest one way or
the other. He proposes to attend to
the municipal affairs Of Seattle
strictly and let the senatorship and
goyernorship take care Of themselves.
Owing to the position that Mr. Gil
son has taken, he will probably COM
mand a large amount Of strength
from both the Humes and the Viii
son factions, as already number Of
Humes men who have deserted the
Humes camp, have decided to work
for Mr.. Gilson's nomination. It
might also be said at this point that
there are a number Of strong Wilson
men who will likewise work for Mr..
Gilson's nomination. The Wilson
faction has no candidate for mayor
and wants none. They are willing to
support any good Republican that is
selected by the city convention.
That Mr.. ellison is going to prove a
formidable candidate for all corners
goes without saying. He is strong in

Now, as to the Democratic candi-
dates, Hon. J. w. Goodwin seems to
be in the lead for that nomination.
There may be others who aspire to
the honor besides those herein NAM
ed, but these are the most active and
pronounced candidates, and of this
trio Mr.. Goodwin seems to be strong
est, Goodwin is a simon-pure Demo-
crat, and his election means a Dem
ocratic triumph pure and simple, but
there are a whole lot Of Republicans
who will not support Tom Humes
should he be nominated by his
party, and if Goodwin is nOmin-
ated by the Democrats and Hume8
by the Republicans, the odds for
Goodwin being elected are two to one
over those Of Tom Humes. The
Democrats realize that Goodwin is
their strong man, and while they
have factions among themselves, one
Of which in particular does not favor
Goodwin, yet even that faction will
see the handwriting on the wall and
support Goodwin in order to get a
Democratic mayor once more. He is
a clean politician, free from scandal
and a first-class business man; can
not be charged with being an ex-
IRENE religionists or an extreme anti
religionist. For that reason a great
many Republicans will support him,
believing, as has been said above,
that he would be quite an improve
ment over the wide-open policy Of
Tom Humes.
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1901-10-25

Judge G. G. Austin, who was for
two terms justice of the peace of this
city, and who was a terror to evil
doors, is also announced as a candi-
date for the position Of mayor. He
is good strong man and should he
be nominated would make a splendid
fight for the election; in short, he
would certainly be elected over
either Judge Moore or Mr.. Goodwin.
Mr. Austin's trouble in becoming
mayor of this city lies in his weak
ness at the primaries, rather than at
the polls. He has not authorized his
name to be used in this connection
by any one as yet, but should he de-
eide to make the fight he will make
it interesting even at the primaries
for his opponents. On the quiet
quiet Judge Austin was a candidate
last spring a year ago for the same
position and would have been nomi-
mated had the Clancies toted fair.
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1901-10-25

There is another faction in the
Democratic party in this city in
which ex-Judge W. H. Moore is
found, and if it be possible this fac
ton will nominate Mr.. Moore for
mayor Mr. Moore, like his Demo-
cratic opponent, Mr.. Goodwin, is a
clean politician, and would give Sc
attic a splendid administration, but,
as said above, it would be almost i'm
possible for him to ever be elected,
on account Of the dissensions that
exist in his own party, and then
again, it is very doubtful whether
Judge Moore would be as successful
in capturing Republican votes as
Mr.. Goodwin. It is therefore
surmised that Of the two men Mr..
Goodwin is by far the stronger.
Mr. Pigott has been asked to be-
mayor, as a compromise candidate

The Raw Food Habit.

Just now the raw food diet threatens
TO become a fad. Certainly many peo-
pie are experimenting with the new d.
et1c idea. 1t woull be far better for the
average man or woman to adopt an
absolutely raw diet. and eat everything
which he could possibly eat or relish in
perfectly raw state, than to swallow
into his stomach the horrible messes
which are concocted by the average
cook. 1t is safer, on the whole, for
man to take his food as he finds it in
it, natural state than to take it as he
finds 1t on the table Of the average
boarding house or hotel In other
words, it is safer for man to take his
food straight from the hands Of his
Maker than from the hands ola French

Never Was There Such Excitement
-Physiclans' Association Trying
to Explain.
Ottawa, Canada, Nov 25th.-This city
is stirred up as never before. Some
seven years ago the local papers pub
lished an account of man named
George Fl. Kent of 408 Gilmour street,
who was dying of Bright's Disease, and
who, at the very last moment, after
several of the best physicians had de-
clared he couldn't live twelve hours,
was saved by Dodd's Kidney Pills.
People who know how low Mr.. Kent
was refused to believe that he was
cured permanently, and the other day,
in order to clinch the matter, the pa
pers published the whole case over
again and backed up their story by
sworn statements made by Mr.. Kent,
in which he declares most positively
that in 1894 he was given up by the
doctors, and that Dodds Kidney Pills,
and nothing else, saved him, and fur
Their, that since the day that Dodd's
Kidney Pills sent him back to work,
seven years ago, he has not lost sin
gle minute from his work. (He is
printer in the American Bank Note
Printing Company
Mr.. Kent is kept quite busy during
his spare hours answering inquiries,
personally and by letter, but he is so
grateful that he counts the time we'll
spent. Indeed, he and his wife have
shown their gratitude to Dodd's Kidney
Pills in very striking way by having
their little girl-born in 1296-christened
by the name of "Dodds."
Altogether, it is the most sensational
case that has ever occurred in the his
tory of medicine in Canada, and the
perfect substantiation of every detail
leaves no room to doubt either the COM
pleteness or the permanency of the
cure.
The local physicians have made the
case of Kent and Dodd's Kidney Pills
the subject of discussion at several of
the private meetings of their associa-
ton.
