Speaking about this mayoralty
nomination, the Pie-maker met Col
Lewis one day this week, and in
mentioning the affair to him Mr.
Lewis frankly said: 81 am not a

any other office in this state. There
are but two Offices in the whole
United States that / want-one is
to be president Of the United States,
that | can give all my friends fed

1t is quietly reported that Herman
W. Craven will be a candidate for
the nomination Of prosecuting at
torney before the next Republican
county convention, and if he is ne
will get support for the same that
he has never before gotten. The
Pie-maker is quite certain that he
will make the best fight next year
that he has ever before made for this
office.
The smiling countenance Of Coun-
ty Clerk Koepfi is again seen at the
clerks office. Mr.. Koepfi has just
recovered from an appendicitis ope-
ration, and is looking unusually
well considering his painful expert
ence. No King county official is
held in higher esteem by both his
employees and the general public
than Mr.. Koepfi, and all are more
than doubly proud to see him at his
post of duty fully restored to health.
c. A. Koepfi is one Of Seattle's most
popular business men, and is per

To the surprise of number OF
leading citizens of this community
the legislature, which was assembled
by Governor Rogers last Tuesday,
quickly did its work and adjourned
sine die last Wednesday night. Many
important things it was thought the
legislature would take up, but it re-
fused to do so, and when the con-
ditions were ripe it adjourned as
quietly as it had assembled. 1t re-
pealed the Rands bill and amended
the jury bill, passed four bills over
the governors veto and then adj
journed. 1t was a sad rebuke
that was administered to Governor
Rogers and one that he will remem-
Der for a good many days to come.
He had vetoed some measures that
he hoped would be the end of them,
but the legislature having unexpect-
eddy assembled only a few months
after he had exercised his vetoing
right, the measures were passed over
his objections, and now in spite of
him they will take their place in the
statute books of this state.

Madam Rumor has it that the rea-
son that Mr.. Hopkins has been Of
fered the marshalship is that a po-
itical difference has arisen between
Senator Foster and his friends on
one side and Mr. Levi Ankeny and
his friends on the other side. Mr..
Ankeny, believing that Mr.. Foster
was sufficiently obligated to him to
make any appointments that he
would recommend, demanded much
more than Senator Foster felt called

Last Mondays Associated Press
dispatches announced that John D.
Rockefeller, the Standard Oil mag
nate, had informed Prof. Booker 7.
Washington that he would con-
tribute the money for the erection
Of large dormitory for that school,
and that Mr.. Washington might
draw on him for the necessary
amount as soon as he liked. This is
a .God-send in way to the Tuskee-
gee school, and it will relieve it very
materially in its future accommoda-
lions for the hundreds Of students
who wish to attend that school Of
industry, but who had to be turned
away on account Of a lack Of accom-
modations. Tuskegee may not have
struck natural oil, but it has struck
a geyser Of Standard Oil.

If there is any one man in the
state of Washington that can kick
up furry that man is James Ham
ilton Lewis. While a member IF
congress he kicked up more legisla-
tive furries than any other man in
the house. 1t was James Hamilton
Lewis who set the war department
Of this country on fire by smelling
bacon by permit" and from one
thing to another he constantly keeps
the public in a state Of expectancy
as to what is next. The last legisla-
ture passed a bill referring to the
hanging Of murderers,- and Mr..
Lewis having a client that was af-
fected by the measure, came to the
front and discovered flaw in the
law and kicked up such muss that
the governor was compelled to call
an extra session of the Legislature to
remedy the evil, which had been
pointed out by Mr. Lewis. If this
law is remedied the public will wait
with bated breath to know what step
he will next take to save the neck OF
Nordstrom, the ten-years convicted
criminal that now awaits execution
in the King county jail.

According to political gossipers,
{. b. Hopkins, OF Spokane, has been
rendered the appointment of United
States marshal Of this district by
Senator Foster. This fact has been
6trenuously denied by Mr.. George H.
Baker, who has been considered the
leading candidate for the place ever
since the election of Senator Foster.
Mr. Baker was in Seattle one day
this week and gave it out that there
vas no truth in the Hopkins story,
and that he did not doubt for min
ute but that he would receive the ap-
pointment at the proper time, but
this story does not coincide with the
story given out by the friends of Mr..
Baker and the close personal friends
OF Senator Foster, who declare that
Mr.. Hopkins has been rendered the
place and is now considering the ad-
visibility OF accepting the same.

Much speculation is being in
dulged in among the Democrats at
present as to who they will nomi-
nate for their mayor. A few days
prior a number Of leading Democrats
we're mentioned in this connection,
and among the names was that Of
James Hamilton Lewis, the ex-con-
gresham from this state. Mr.. Lewis
has many friends in this city and
many of them would be glad to see
him take the nomination, as they
feel certain he would be elected,
while others equally friendly to him
would prefer he not take the nomi-
nation, as they think it too small a
job for the man. Mr.. J. w. Goodwin
is also spoken Of in connection with
the nomination, and, if nominated,
will be a strong candidate.

If any other question is considered
before the present legislature the
direct primary bill will likewise be
considered, and its most ardent ad-
vocates believe that it will be passed
if it is taken up. This measure
lacked but one vote in passing at
the last session Of the legislature,
and its advocates believe that the
members have been sufficiently edu-
Gated since that time on the measure
that they are now ready and willing
to pass it practically without any OPP
position.

upon to give, and this resulted in a
complete breakup between the two,
SO the story goes, and Senator Foster
at once said to Mr.. Ankeny very
frankly, ''You go your way and |
will 60 mine, and hereafter we will
travel in different political coaches"
Whether this be true or not, both the
friends and enemies of Mr.. Ankeny
are talking it On the streets and
about the legislatures, which are now
in session. Time, however, will
prove the correctness of these ru-
more, but whether it does or does
not, some steps should be taken by
the Republicans to harmonic the
differences that now exist in the
party.

POLITICAL P0T-PIE


Among important happenings
that have transpired since the last
issue of The Republican was the as
sembling of the legislature by the
governor to consider the Rands bill,
which was passed by the last legisla-
ture. After it was discovered that
the bill was defective, in that it prac-
tically turned loose all of the crimi-
mails convicted of murder in the first
degree in this state who were await
ing execution, the governor at once
decided to call the legislature to-
gether and to have the act either
dOctored or repealed in toto. It was
given out that no politics would
figure in this affair. and both parties
expressed desire that this only
measure be discussed at the extra
session. However, the secretary Of
state felt that it was his duty from a
legal standpoint to present the late
vetoes Of the governor to the legisla-
ture for their consideration, which
was done as soon as the body had
been assembled and organized. Ow-
ing to the fact that many Of the SEN
ators had expressed themselves in
the belief that the Rands law was
not defective, it was thought that
nothing would be. accomplished in
the assembling Of the legislature
along this line, but the contrary was
the result, for the senate was the
first to repeal the law.
Now that the legislature is in SEES
sion, there is no law preventing the
extending of the session as long as
it desires, almost indefinite, and it
can pass and act upon any measure
that it sees fit, though it is generally
supposed that only those things that
require the immediate care. of that
body will be considered. Perhaps
after the Rands bill has been dis
posed of, the next important thing
that will be before that body is the
districting of the state for the cleo
ton of three congressman. Many Of
the most eminent constitutional law
yers of this state have already ex-
pressed an opinion that there was a
possibility of Washington not being
represented in the lower house of the
next congress, because the state was
not districted according to the Unit
ed States laws, which regulates such
things. If this measure is taken up,
then politics will show itself in good
shape, and it will not only show it.
self from Republican and Demo-
cratic standpoint, but it will show
itself from Republican factional
standpoint, and as there will be
many conflicting interests to be con-
sidered in the congressional district
ing of this state a bitter fight may
be looked for.

In Leigh, England. After announcing
the name and other particulars of the
