nounce that they want the office be-
cause the charter now allows the

friends claim that their candidate is
strong not only in the Second ward,
from whence he comes, but is strong
all over the city, and they feel GER
tain that he will be nominated on the
first ballot, Notwithstanding the fact
that there will be a multiplicity of
other candidates seeking the same

Speaking about voting reminds the
Pie-maker that unless you register
you cannot vote. The registration
books have been open now since the
first of January, but the voters are
very slow in taking advantage of it,
which means that at the latter end
there will be a jam almost to suffo-
cation for the privilege of register
ing, and when the books will have
closed a great number will not have
succeeded in getting registered. Now
it matters not what you are doing,
take fifteen or twenty minutes time
and go and register, and save your
self much worry and bother later on.

COUNCILMAN JED G. BLAKE.

Councilman Jed G. Blake has not
lost much of his former popularity by
serving as member of the city coun-
Gil for the past two years Mr. Blake
was the popular candidate of the Sew
enth ward two years ago by a very
large majority, and he WILL in all hui
man probability, stand equally as we'll
at the next convention as he did two
years ago. Blake is a bully good
fellow, and has many friends, and it is
avery generally believed that he has
made more political friends since he
has been in office than he did before
being elected to the position, which
he has so ably filed for the past two
years. Men who two years ago fought
his nomination in the Seventh ward
are now doing all in their power to
have him renominated, simply be-

COUNCILMAN r. M. MuLDooN.

COUNCILMAN r. M. MULDOON.
In announcing the candidacy of
Councilman-at-Large F. M. Muldoon,
the name Of a man experienced in
municipal affairs is presented to the
voters of the city of Seattle Four
years ago Mr. Muldoon, after. an ex-
citing contest in the city convention,
was nominated by a large majority
over a number of other prominent
Republican aspirants for the position,
and at the polls was elected by a big
majority. 1t was claimed by many
at the time that he would be defeat
ed at the polls, owing to the fact
that the street car men and a num-
Der of other labor organizations would
fight him to the bitter end. This
statement was not borne out at the
polls, for, as said above, he held his
own on the ticket. During his incum-
bency of the office Mr.. MuldoOn has
made a most excellent councilman
At present there seems to be no well
organized opposition to his re-elec-
tion, notwithstanding the fact that
there are other candidates out for the
nomination. The ether candidates do
not charge him with being derelict

was one of the most dastardly out
RACES that has ever been committed
III local politics in this city, and
though it may give Mr.. Humes the
nomination for Mayor at the hands of
the next convention. it will do him
no good at the polls ten days there
after. The actions of the Central
Committee simply turned the city
over to the complete control of the
vicious element herein The First
ward, which gave Humes an over
whelming majority in March, gave
Bryan as big a majority in Novem-
Der, has been given by the Central
Committee siXty-siX delegates in the
next municipal convention, a fifth of
the entire convention, and the Repub-
llcan wards with twice as many votes
have been given not to exceed forty
five votes. If the Central Committee
wanted fair basis from a local stand
point, why did it not make the ap-
portlonment on Comptroller PauI's
vote, Treasurer Rathbun's or Coun-
cilman-at-Large Parry's vote? But
no, they took Mr.. Humes, who ran
1900 votes behind his ticket and
based the apportionment on his vote
because the vicious element wherever
they were collected gave him over
whelming majorities and they in turn
will give that same element an over
Whelming vote over the better class
OF citizens in the coming primary
fight. If there ever was any dispo-

For the first time in a good many
years the Republicans of the Fourth
ward will be given an opportunity at
the primaries to vote for a genuine
business man for the nomination of
city councilman from that ward, and
the business man referred to in this
connection is none other than A. A.
Seagraves, the popular proprietor of
the Occidental hotel, located at 7O7
Third Avenue. The Fourth ward has
been represented by the same man
for the past ten years or more, and it

POhITICAA POT PIE

The situation as to the federal of
hce-holders in this state is still in a
chaotic condition, and no one seems
to know where the other fellow is at.
A week ago it was generally thought
that Collector Huestis would retire
from the Collectorship and would be
succeeded by Marshal Ide, but this
theory has all been upset and the
department at Washington City has
asked Mr.. Huestis to accept the Col
lectOrship for another four years, and
he has wired his acceptance of the
same. 1t can be said without fear of
successful contradiction that Mr.
Huestis has made one of the best Col
lectors, if not the very best, that the
Port Townsend Custom House ever
had. and the President having been
informed of Mr.. Huestis' ideal record
in the office, almost forced him to
accept a second term. In just what
position this leaves the Ide-Hopkins
fight no one in the state of Washing
ton at present seems to know, but
there is a general feeling among the
politicians to the effect that Wilson
has won out and that Ide is going to
succeed himself, which, like the Hues-
tis appointment, would be a most ex-
cellent one, as Mr.. Ide has made
Marshal for the past four years that
the government can justly feel ex-
ceedingly proud of.
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1902-01-24

that he has every detail thereabouts
at his fingers ends. Captain CORN
ley Is very popular in his ward, and
is likewise very popular throughout
the city. Not so much from the fact,
az has been currently reported, be-
cause he is a veteran of the Philip
pine war, but from the fact that he
is a general favorite with those who
have had occasion to deal with him in
either business way as well as those
who have met him in a social way
He has been very conservative as to
the political warfares that have been
going on among the various factions
in the city for the past year or more,
and for that reason he expects to be
supported as warmly by one faction
as the other. The city charter speci-
fies that no one can hold the office Of
City Treasurer but one term at a
time, and Captain Gorm1ey having
served as Chief Deputy under the
present incumbent, is certainly more
fitted to fill the office for the next
two years than a new man. And
though his candidacy has been an
nOunced for good many weeks prior
to this, no opposition has as yet come
forward to contest the nomination
with him, which is very conclusive
evidence that he is very popular in
municipal politics at present. Should
he be nominated, and it looks as
though he will, there is no doubt but
that he will be overwhelmingly elect
ed, regardless of whom the opposing
party may name for the position
against him.

HON. ELLIS MORRISON.

AS was predicted by The Repub-
lican some weeks ago, Hon. Ellis Nor
risOn has authorized this paper to
announce his candidacy for the nom
ination of councilman from the Fifth
ward, subject to the ratification of a
majority of the members of the ward.
Mr. Morrison is no stranger to the
political denizens of this city, and,
owing to his popularity among all
classes of Republicans, he stands a
most excellent show Of being nomi-
mated for this position Whether or
not a majority of the Republicans of
the Fifth ward will see fit to cast
their votes in the convention for Mr
Morrison remains to be seen, but there
is one thing certain. he has a num-
Der Of strong supporters, who are
working day and night for him. and
they claim that he will be landed by
a two-thirds majority Of the conven-
ton. The friends of Mr. Morrison
claim that he did not decide to be-
come a candidate until solicited by a
number of property. owners in the
Fifth ward; in fact, he rather resent
ed it when it was first mentioned to
him by his close political friends. but
after the property owners almost in
a body asked him to become a candi-
date for the position, he consented
to allow the use of his name. Mr.
Morrison was at one time speaker of
the House of Representative of this

ton, no clique nor no select few are
boosting Mr.. Seagraves nomination,
but the people are, and, it is here
predicted that the people will win
out at the coming primary election,
and that A. A. Seagraves will be
overwhelmingly nominated. He is
we'll and favorably known in Seattle
simply because he has been first and
foremost in every public enterprise
and undertaking that has been
brought forward by public-spirited
men. He has given more to charities
and religious causes than any other
man in that district, and so far as
his opponent is concerned, he has
given dollars to his dimes, for, it is
very currently reported that the pres.
ent councilman has never given any
| thing for charitable purposes. It
should be genuine pleasure for ev-
! cry good, loyal, true American citi-
zen in the Fourth ward to go to the

man not on his own volition, but at
the earnest solicitation of hundreds of
his fellow citizens, and he accepts
over the opposition of his family, ev.
cry member of whom are bitterly op-
posed to him going into politics.
While Mr.. Seagraves has conducted a
hotel ever since he has been in the
city, he has never permitted It to be-
come the resort for well known char
acters about the city, and while he
has made no pretension to being q
Sunday school scholar, nevertheless
he has never at any time allowed a
saloon bar to be run in connection
with his hotel. He is a winning can
didate, and that he will win in this
fight is the prediction of The Seattle
Republican.

cause he has made a good official,
and they see no good and sufficient
reason for turning down a good Of
fetal just to get change. Many
measures have come before the coun-
Gil since Mr.. Blake has been council
man in which the city was vitally In
terested, for settlement, and on all
these questions it will be found that
he voted right, that he has always
taken the course that would rebound
to the city's very best interest No
one can charge Councilman Blake
with having betrayed the city's best
interest or the confidence imposed
in him by his constituents IN the Sew

announced.

Speaking about the new apportion-
ment, which was made by the Repub-
ican Central Committee, it has been
the town talk during the entire week.
and while some Of the more enthusi-
astic anti-Humes Republicans still
cling to the belief that Humes can be
defeated, yet it was very generally
conceded by the more conservative
anti-Humes Republicans that it pracs
tically gave Humes the convention.
1t is very generally believed that he
will get the entire sixty-siX votes from
the First ward, and as the apportions
ment now stands, he will get major.

make heavy inroads on some of the
other wards, ali because this new ap-
portionment, based on his own vote
two years ago, has been permitted to
become a law. Much bitter feeling
has been worked up over the matter,
and if the anti-Humes Republicans
can find no other way to right the
wrong, it is very generally supposed
from the talk they openly indulge in
on the streets, that they will right the
wrong at the polls in March.

sioner, which position has been filed
for the past four years or more by
A. c. Little, has finally been settled
by Governor Mcbride, and T. R. Ker-
shaw, of Whatcom, has been the sue
cessful candidate. Mr.. Kershaw was
backed by the leading Republicans
of the Northwest without regard to
faction, and it is not very generally
supposed that this appointment cuts
any figure whatever in the senatorial
contest, which is playing such a con-
spicuous part in state politics at pres

There seems to be no doubt at this
writing but that j. w. Goodwin will be
nominated by the Democrats for
Mayor without any opposition. The
efforts on the part of those opposed
to Godwin's nomination who strug-
gled to bring out William Pigott, S.
S. Bailey and other prominent Demo
Gratis as opponents to Goodwin, have
failed thus far and Mr.. Pigott
and Mr.. Bailey openly say now
that they will not be candi-
dates, they will make no efforts
whatever to measure arms with Mr..
Goodwin in the fight, and their names
cannot be used in connection with the
Democratic nomination for Mayor.
This leaves Mr.. Goodwin a clear field
and he will be nominated by una
nous vote, and the Democrats cous&
not do better thing.

One hundred thousand dollars is
quite sum of money to add to the
bank account of the city of Seattle,
but if the citizens Of this city will
vote for the increase of license on sa-
looms at the next election it will mean
that this amount of money will be
forthcoming to the city over and above
what it is now getting, and that
amount of money would go a long
way toward improving the city AS
has been said in another column
hereof, if the saloon people are able
to spend thousands of dollars in or
namenting their places with the most
costly fixtures and furniture, they can
pay the city $1,000 per annum for the
privilege of a license to rob those who
paUronize. them. Whether the city
gets this increase of license or not,

every man north of Yesler Way will
vote for this license, and he would
have no objections to having those
south of Yesler Way also voting for
it, but it is not supposed that they
will do so. 1t is, however, supposed
that the voters who represent wives
and children will vote for it, and
that the proposition will be carried

1t having been decided that Mr.

promises to be between Humes and
