THE BLACK CELL.

What is this feel of the road to which

A Trireme for the Coronation.

The Rev. E. Ware, the head master of
Eton, is an enthusiast on everythin con-

especially interested in the subject Of an
cient naval architecture. He Is proposing
to build classic ship. probably a trireme
of the best Punic or best Attic period, and
to moor 1t in the Thames opposite the ter
race of the houses Of parliament during
the coronation week. 1t would seem more
appropriate that such a vessel should take
part in the great coronation naval review
and thus allow Englishmen to compare q
man-of-war of ancient Greece with a mod

The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1902-08-22

The compromise on an elective COM
mission was made at the suggestion
of State Senator Ed S. Hamilton, who
declared he would be willing to accept
an elective commission. When the
convention had turned down a strong
Mcbride resolution instructing the
members of the legislature from this
county to vote in favor of commits
sion bill, Jesse Jones offered resolu-
ton in favor of an elective commits
sion and Senator Hamilton promptly
seconded the motion, which passed.
Since the convention considerable
feeling has been shown on the part OF
anti-McBride men who made this con-
cession to Congressman Cushman 1t
is a notable fact that though the COM
mission men made long arguments the
anti-McBride men did not speak on
the question They had gone into the
convention loaded with information
and prepared to show the commission
scheme was a shrewd political man
euver which would work against Pierce
county, but after CUshman's appeal
to stand by him they decided not to
insist upon a complete overthrow Of
the commission idea. Since the con-
vention, however, Congressman Cush-
man has announced the names of the
twenty-four delegates he was permit
ted to select Not one of these men
were taken from the ranks of the anti
Mcbride workers. This faction be-
lieved it was entitled to some recog-
milton in view of the fact that it had
conceded so much to CuShman.
The convention was notable for the
complete victory of anti-administratiOn
leaders in the legislative districts.
There a question regarding the
position of one representative, but
aside from this man all the other nom
inees were picked by anti-McBride
men; and though the fight in certain
districts was sharp, they won out
handily.
In the Twenty-fifth senatorial dis
trict Mcbride men were in control
but it is a question whether more than
one of the nominees will be with the
governor. In the Twenty sixth dis
trict State Senator Ed S. Hamilton had
things his own way. He had formed
one of the most complete organizations
ever perfected in this county to go
into a political fight. His friends were
organized in each precinct, and when
the convention met he had the entire
district with him so solidly that he
was not only renominated for the SEN
ate, but Representatives Mark White
and E. R. York were carried through.
State Senator Stanton Waburton, in
the Twenty-seventh district, attempted
to carry the legislative ticket for Nc
Bride. He is the recognized Mcbride
leader in this county and had promised

POLITICAL POT PIE

TTTTTTTTg~TsS''S
Congressman Jones, who was recent
ly in Seattle, and who more recently
has been in most of the counties in
Western Washington, is advocating,
so it is said, that Jones and Cushman
be nominated by the next state con-
vention by acclamatiOn, but that the
nomination for the third congress-
man be free-for-all fight, and then
Jones can stand on a pedestal and
watch it from afar. From a w. L.
Jones standpoint there is no doubt
but such a course on the part of the
state convention would be highly graft
lying, but Mr.. Jones should not over
look the fact that he has troubles of
his own, and whether or not he has
troubles of his own at home, the state
of Washington as a whole does not
feel in duty bound to give him the NOM
ination without his working for it any
more than anyone else. If any unani-
nous nominations are to be made for
congressman, then the Pie-maker
wants them all unanimously made. Let
the steering committee go in and de-
eide who are to be the nominees and
then let them be unanimously nomin-
ated. Perhaps it will be Mr.. Jones,
and perhaps not; but there is no need
of making fish of one and fowl of an
other. There are number of can
didates for congress in this state, and
those candidates are not particular
whether they get Mr.. JONES' Mr.. Cush-
man or the third place-they simply
want nomination and they are not
caring who gets left SO long as they
succeed. 1t therefore behOoves Con-
gressman Jones to bring in his del
egation and go in the steering COM
mittee room and solve the problem,
and when it is solved let three con-
gressmen be unanimously nominated
by the convention. If there is any
effort to shut King county out of one
of the congressman on the part of
Mr.. Jones and his friends there is
going to be a hot time in the old
town from the time the nominations
are made until the election, and then
perhaps somebody won't go back to
congress who thought they would do

this committee refused to put it on the
