Who was political manager of Scott

is department manager i'll the Denny
Coryell Printing Co., who has been
an active politician in King county for
the past fifteen years, who is a frm
friend OF organized labor and who
stands we'll among all classe OF citi-
zens, herewith announces his intention
to stand>for the nomination for one Of
the representatives from the 45th leg

from the very first no other place has
been thought Of in this connection.
Responding to this suggestion the
friends of Mr.. John w. Peter, a prom
inent attorney of Ballard, have placed
his name in the field as a candidate
subject to the choice of the Republican
county convention. This action was
taken in the early part of the cam
paign and it is so far conceded that
he is the universal choice of the Re
publicans of the county, that no op-
position has been heard from amy
source. Mr.. Peter is a pioneer of Bal
lard and during his residence here has
been actively engaged in the practice
of his profession, always taking a lead
ing part in Republican politics. His
experience as deputy assessor in this
county ~ is augmented by thorough
knowledge Of the history, growth and
development of the county. His can
didacy is looked upon by all who know
him as eminently fit and proper, and
since the country has entrusted the
selection to Ballard, the people of the
city have felt the responsibility and
discharged it fully in making Mr..
Peter their choice. He has a broad
business knowledge, keen perception,
good judgment and is not lacking in
ability to meet the requirements of
this the most important office in the
county. In view of all these facts, his
nomination will be one that can not
help but meet the approval of a large
majority of voters at the coming cleo
tion, and from business point of view
overreach even political lines.

THIRD AVENUE THEATRE.

Next week two plays will be pro-
duced. ''Just Before Dawn" will be
the opening attraction on Sunday night
and will run until Wednesday. The
play is on the same lines as Lost
Paradise" and deals with the differ
ence between capital and labor. A
beautiful love story runs throughout
the play and the character parts are
some of the strongest ever witnessed
in theatrical performance.
The latter part of the week, com
mencing on Thursday night, will be
given over to the old favorite, East
Lynne" Comment on this best of all
emotional dramas would seem super
f1uous. Miss Elizabeth Hale, who plays
the part of Lady Isabelle" will be seen
in one Of her strongest roles as she
has appeared in it many times with
marked success. Everybody should
see East Lynne"

1t is the duty of the Republicans to

In New York recently the leaders Of
Afro-American society gave a perform
ance OF GOunOd's Faust with a dark
skinned Mephistopheles, a drab Mar
guerite, and Colorado maduro Faust.
Afro-American society turned out in
force, and the Lexington avenue opera
house, wherein the performance was
given, was crowded to the doors by
the colored haut ton. The opera was
an enormous success. AS the ballet
proceeded and they warmed I'D, the
popularity of their rhythmic swaying
become more pronounced, and then of
a sudden there was a gigantic outburst
OF frenzied applause, and the audience
arose en- masse. Feet were stamped
and the gallery fell to Whistling. The

can be said without fear of successful
contradiction that Mr.. McCOnnaughey
has conducted this Office more sys-
tematically than it has ever before
been conducted, or at least for many
years. Under the administration of
two former officials in this Office a
great deal of adverse criticism was
made, and perhaps none of it without
foundation; but not a disparaging
word one way or the other has been
said or published concerning the con-
duct of the office under it's present
management, and when Mr.. McCOn-
naughey will have been renominated,
reelected and served out his full four
years he will retire from the Office
with the same honors that he is now
crowned with At the close of every
day he has been able to tell anyone
on a moments notice the exact condi-
ton of the Office, which thing could
not have been done under either of
the two previous administrations.
Such men are always deserving of re-
nomination and reelection as long as
the public can consistently do so.
AS was predicted by the Republican
last week, tie other gentlemen who
had intended to be candidates for
Congress from King county have with
drawn from the race, or will do so be-
fore the next county convention con-
ven4s, leaving the field clear to Will
E. Humphrey whom King county will
endorse and send ninety-four delegates
to the state convention asking that he
be nominated. The candidacy of Mr.
Humphrey in comparison with the
other gentlemen was the survival of
the fittest, and the strong man has
won out, and he will be nominated by
the state convention.
Frank B. Weistling says the Pie
maker was in error last week when
he said not single man in Seattle
was advocating the nomination of Mr..
Weistling. On the contrary, Mr.. Weist-
ling says Frank B. Weistling is man,
resident of Seattle and a qualified
voter and he is ardently advocating
the nomination of Mr.. Weistling,
though he quietly admitted to the Pie
maker he appeared to be the only one
that was doing so.
Ballard has a candidate for county
honors this year in the person of John
w. Peter, who aspires to be county as
sessor Mr.. Peter will be backed by
united delegation from Ballard,
which will mean his nomination be-
yond reasonable doubt. He will be
without opposition it is now thought,
as no one else seems to be developing
enough strength to even make the race
an interesting one to him.
One of the leading candidates for
! legislative honors in the As legislative
districts is H. Rief of the fourth pre-
cinct of the Fifth ward. If Mr. Rief
, is successful in landing his delegation
there will be nothing more to it, for it
matters not what candidate controls
the senatorial situation, he will have to
do business with Rief in order to win

While Harold Preston was swinging

of the coal mines in eastern Washing

impromptu meeting. Prior to his be-

past two years that one is George B.

been more successfully conducted
from start to finish than has Mr.. Lamp
