even with millions at his back. Then
should he try and fail at that time
there would not be another election
four four years more, and by that
time the conditions Of the state
would have changed to such an ex-
tent as to make it impossible for
him to succeed 1t, therefore, can
be readily seen that he must win in
1903 or forever lose When Mr.. An
keny shall have ended his coming
senatorial campaign in 1903 and will
have failed as fatty as he has in the
past, he will have rounded out four
distinct senatorial campaigns, which
will have cost him nearly that many
million dollars, and it will leave him
no nearer the goal than when he
first began. He has already opened
his campaign for the coming contest,
and selected as his manager George
Stevenson, whom, it is said, is one
of the shremdest political manipula-
tors and lobbyists in the Northwest.
Whether a measure be good or bad,
if Mr. Stevenson was its advocate
for passage by the legislature it al
ways came pretty near passing, and
all because he knew how to use the
dollars and cents that had been plac-
ed in his hands for the passage of
the same. Mr.. Ankeny has evident
ly kept weather eye on the actions
of this prince Of lobbyists, which
has prompted him to employ him to
make this, his last fight for the
United States senate. Mr.. Steven
son does not work without money,
and it can be safely said that be-
tween now and the adjournment of
the legislature in 1903 Mr.. Ankeny
will have dropped in the neighbor-
hood Of half a million dollars in his
efforts to be United States senator.
From an Eastern paper it is learn
ed the Hon. Henry L. Wilson, at
present United States minister to
Chill, is to soon retire from office
and devote his time and talent to
commercial enterprises in the South
American republics. During a re-
cent visit Of Mr.. Wilson's to this
city, he was very enthusiastic over
the commercial conditions of Chill
and other South American republics,
and believed that they had a future
equal to the United States in store
for them. He was likewise very en-
thusiastic over the cultivation Of
friendly relations between the Unit
ed States and those countries. He
believes that the United States
would eventually convince those re-
publics that she had no intention Of

Congressman W. L. Jones was in
Seattle one day this week and shook
hands with many Of the leading bus
mess men and politicians Of this
city. Mr. Jones is not discussing
politics these days, but he is very
favorably impressed with the pros
porous condition Of everybody and
Of every industry in the state of
Washington. This he does not know
from hearsay, but from actual OBJ
servation, for since he returned from
Washington city, he has visited ev-
cry nook and corner Of the entire
state, and he has spent but two
weeks in his home town during all
of this time. Prosperity is to be
seen stalking about in every place in
this commonwealth, and the Repub-
lican party is responsible for such a
condition of affairs. No wonder even
the Democrats and the Populists are
congratulating the Republican lar'
makers for bringing about such
happy condition Of affairs, and no
wonder that all manner of men, If
respective of his politics, were unan-
imous in their condemnation Of the
assassination of President Mckinley
and mourn without comfort over his
great loss
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1901-09-27

Speaking about the martyred
president brings to my mind that
this country is troubled with a soci-
ETY. of anarchists whose duty, so far
as they seem to see it, is to murder
presidents and high officials. Some
thing will be done toward suppress
ing them by the next congress. Just
what that something will be is more
than | am able to say at present.
Congress can pass a law making it a
crime punishable by death for any
one to attempt to do either the pres
ident or any of the members Of his
cabinet any great bodily harm. Such
a law would act just as well as a law
for treason. While the latter would
be preferable, [ am inclined to think
that it is out Of the jurisdiction Of
congress to pass such a law. Every
state in the Union should take up
this question Of anarchism and pass
laws making the teaching of anarchy
a crime against the state and either
punishable by death or by long
term in prison. | suggest that a law
be passed by congress banishing ev-
cry well known anarchist to some OF
the islands and there let them get
along as best they can either with OF
without form Of law. If they
think they can live without law let
them have a dose Of it."

trying to absorb them and when they
had been thus convinced they would
be ready and willing to enter into
trade relations with the United
States, which would be reciprocated
by the United States and thus bind
the republics Of the south to the
United States even more closely
than if they were absorbed by our
government. The friends Of Mr..
Wilson in this state are not aware
Of the fact that he had intended to
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1901-09-27

resign his post Of duty and this will
be something of surprise to them.
He has made an excellent official
and the government at Washington
city is well pleased with his work in
Chill, and the Pie-maker is inclined
to believe that President Roosevelt
will not accept his resignation with
out first importuning him to remain
as the representative Of the United
States at the Chilian capital.
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1901-09-27

The Pie-maker is inclined to be-
lieve that the pretended candidacy
of Harold Preston for the United
States senate is but another side
show Of the candidacy Of Levi An
keny for the United States senate.
In other words, Preston is to play
the same part in the coming senator
ial scrap as did Tom Humes in 1899.
The voters Of King county are to
be appealed to through the medium
Of their local pride to support a
home candidate, and when they will
have done so and a delegation leect-
ed to the legislature with a view Of
supporting this pretended home
candidate, then this home candidate
is to take his delegtion, bag and
breeches, to Levi Ankeny, just as
was done in 1899. Tom Humes was
never supported by the politicians
with the view or hope of him being
elected to the United States senate.
He well knew this in the very out
set of the campaign, but being very
greedy politician, when he thought
he had gotten his candidacy where
the Levi Ankeny managers could
not call it off, he got bull headed
and would not withdraw until every
member Of the legislature from King
county left him all by his lone. 1t
is very apparent to the average voter
of this section that Mr.. Preston's
candidacy Will be a repetition of
that campaign, and will prove the
same kind Of a political fiasco as did
the Humes candidacy. Now all of
the people Of King county can be
hoodwinked some Of the time, but
they cannot be hoodwinked all of
the time, Mr.. Preston, and they con-
slider that they owe the few willy pol
iticians who tried to deliver King
county over to Levi Ankeny in 1899
molens volens, absolutely nothing.
King county is ready to support a
candidate for the United States SEN
ate with a vengeance, and not only
ready to do so, but is willing to dc
so; however, she is not willing tC
support some man who is the crea-
ture of a few political boilers, a;

ture of 1899 with the exception OF

Speaking about the candidacy Of
Levi Ankeny reminds the Pie-makel
that Mr. Ankeny must win in this
coming campaign or lose forever. Hi
age is fast telling on him, and if h
should lose in the coming campaign
it would be almost impossible fol
him to win two years later, as h
would be considered a perennial can
didate, with no qualification or abil
ity to succeed at the game Of polite
