q gentleman, who at one time was
conspicuous in Democratic and Pop

subsequently had a whole lou OF
trouble in one way or another, Whlch

him at this time The person in ques-
tion is none other than w. H. Heaton,
who was at once time county commls-
sioner of King County, and, as SAID
above prominent in Populist and Dem
ocratic politics. For some time past
Mr. Heaton has been trying to get hold
of a newspaper in which perhaps to

had stored away since he was traduced
and bounded to ruin by certain Dem

has finally succeeded, as Geo. b.

Frank FL. Paul for Mayor

The Republican is prepared to an
nounce today that Frank H. Paul has
withdrawn from the fight for a re-
nomination of city comptroller and
has positively announced himself as
a candidate for the nomination of
mayor, subject to the actions of the
Republican convention. The candi-
dacy of Mr.. Paul has been brewing for
g number of weeks, and it has been in
the hands of we'll known business men
of Seattle and his immediate friends.
For some time he fought it with
vengeance, not wishing to be can
didate for the place, but his friends
finally prevailed on him to such an ex-
tent that he yielded and is now full
fledged candidate in opposition to
Thomas Jefferson Humes. The Repub
lican, like the business men of this
city. has nothing but the highest
praise for Mr.. Paul, and can pay him
no higher compliment than that he
has been one of the most successful
officials that ever held an office in
Seattle. That he is popular to the let
ter is plain to be seen, for when he
decided that he wanted a renomina
ton for comptroller no one would en-
ter the race against him, owing to the
fact that he was so popular, not only
among the voters, but among the Re
publican office seekers. Should the

It is learned from an Olympia paper
that ex-Secretary of State James H.
Price, formerly of Pierce County, but
now of Thurston, and, by the way, a
member of the city council of Olym-
pia. is a candidate for the wardenship
of the state penitentiary. Jim Price
is a pretty good fellow and can give
you the best con talk for your support
for him to get a political office that
you ever heard in this or any other
community. Price is one of those
everlasting office seekers. He never
gets enough of holding office and he
is always wanting an office. Electing
him to one office and then give him
a second term to the same comes no
nearer satisfying him than if he was
never elected at ALL Apparently he
has made up his mind that he cannot
live without an office, and if it is not
a big office that he can get, let it be
a little one, just so it is an office. From
constable of Pierce County he rose to
Secretary of State and from Secretary
of State he has fallen to a ward coun-
Gilman of Olympia, but it is an office
and that to some extent satisfies the

In withdrawing from the comptroller
fight Mr.. Paul opens up new fields for
conouest and Samuel H. Rathbun, the
nresent efficient city treasurer, here
with announces his candidacy for the
nomination of city comptroller. Early
in the season a number Of Mr.. Ratn-
hun's friends earnestly solicited him
to become a candidate for mayor
against Mr.. Humes, but he would not
listen to the proposition. Il do not
want the mayorship and l Will not
have it and if you force the nomlna-
tion on me l will leave the city rather
than fill the Office" was the plain
statement made by him to those So
liciting him to take the nomination.
For while he contemplated enter
ing the city comptroller fight, but I'm
allv gave away to Mr.. Paul because
his friends believed that Paul was de-
serving of a second nomination. NOW
he is a full fiedged candidate for the

urer counts for anything he will be

and was subsequently appointed chief
deputy by him. He gave way to him
however, in the convention after the
voting had taken place, but it will he
remembered by those who attended
that convention that Mr.. RipIinger was
the strongest candidate against Mr.

ent for the place is a very strong and
popular gentleman, it is thought bv
tnose who are managing his campaign
tnat ne is going to be a hard man to
peat. Ii he comes into the convention

Two years ago it will not take much
trading on the part of his managers to
secure the nomination for him. AS
an accountant and financier Mr.. Rim
hnger is said to be one Of the hest that
thls city boasts of. He served for a
number of years under CITY Comm
troller Will H. Parry and the splen-
did system that Mr.. Parry had in
vogue while comptroller is said to be
the product Of John Riplinger's brain.
He has been most valuable assist
ant to Mr. Paul and all of these quail
tications will lend much to his present
popularity and make him almost
undefeatable. He is brilliant voung
man and the public would make no
mistake in putting him at the head of
the office.

S. T. Rathbun for Comptroller

hard man to beat. Sam Rathbun, as
he is known among the boys is a
very popular young man and one that
always makes friends, and it is be-
lieved that he has made sufficient
number of new friends to warrant him
making this coming fight and he be-
lieving the same way has cast the
die. For the past two years he has
held the office of city treasurer and
he would hold it for the next two
had not the city charter fixed one term
as the limit for any and all persons
elected to that position. "The boys"
are out in full force for his nOmin-
alton for city comptroller and they be-
lieve that without a doubt he will re-
ceive the nomination by an over
whelming majority. He does not think
of his strength as coming from this or
that ward in particular, but from ev-
cry ward and the results of the last
convention and his record as city
treasurer warrants him in so think
ing.

w. Fl. Vincent for Councilman

W. H. Vincent was born in Illinois
in 1868 and removed from there to
Wisconsin in 1865, where he attended
common school and one year at Car
roll College, Waukisha, Wisconsin. At
the age of nineteen he entered the en-
ployment of the National Exchange
bank of that place, remaining with
them nine years, holding the respon-
sible position Of book-keeper, paying
and receiving teller and was twice ap-
pointed town treasurer. He removed
to Seattle in 1891. Mr.. Vincent opened
the first rental agency in this city and
by careful management and upright
business methods from year to year
has succeeded, and at the present
time is considered one of the
staunchest rental, loan, real es-
tate and insurance dealers on
the Sound. Two years ago he was
urged to accept the nomination for

Seventh ward, where he has built him
a new home and from there he as
pires to become councilman-a -at-large,
believing that his friends in the Sew
enth ward without regard to faction,
will give him the ward solid and be-
lieving on account of his long resi-
dence in the Fifth that the delegation
from there will also give him unani-
nous vote, which will give him a
strong following in the convention on
the first ballot. During the time Mr.
Mullen has resided in the Seventh
ward he has been proprietor of the
Abbott House, one of the best known
hotels on Pike street. Recently a
local paper published that Mr.. Null
len was proprietor of a saloon, which
is a mistake. He has never been con-
nected with a saloon in any shape.

in this city and his house is free from
the sale of intoxicant drinks, though
Mr.. Mullen makes no bones in being
an anti-temperance worker. In the
past he has contributed literally or
his private funds to help out the cam
paigns and on election days was al
ways out during the entire time rush
ing men to the polls, and in many in
stances spending his own money to
accomplish that end. He has been
faithful party worker and now asks a

H. Paul. If there be a man in Sc
attic that is loyal to his friends with
out rebuking his enemies that man is
Frank H. Paul. In short, Frank Paul
is an ideal Republican politician and
the Pie-maker believes that he will
beat Mr.. Humes in the Republican con-
ventiOn despite the fact that the
friends of Mr.. Humes have gerryman-
dered the apportionment of delegates
to Mr.. Humes, own personal and po-
litical interests. Wherever you are
let the watchword go forth that Frank
Paul is clean handed and will make
Seattle an ideal mayor. Not one stain
or blot is to be found On either his
political or private escutcheon, and it
is here predicted that when he will
have served two years as mayor of
Seattle he will be in the same spot
less condition Mr.. Paul is being
backed as enthusiastically by men
who two years ago supported Mr.
Humes, as by those men who have
been his friends since he has been
in the city. When such men as E..
H. Guie, E. G. Neufelder, P. D. Hughes
and Frank P. Lewis join hands with
such men as John H. Powell, Will H
Morris, E. L. Blaine and others of the
same political stripe to push PauPs
candidacy it stands to reason that he
is the coming man.

The Populists of Seattle have decid-
ed to not fuse with the Democrats
and the Silver Republicans any more,
but on the contrary will name a full
municipal ticket for the coming elec-
tion The Pie-makeT is not prepared
to say what has prompted this move
on the part Of the supposed Populist
corpse, but if it succeeds in gathering
any following whatever it will do moth
more than re-commission one of the
vilest and most corrupted administra-
tions that ever existed in a municipal
ity west of the Missouri River for an
other two years lease of life. The Pie
maker is not inclined to dictate to
either the Populists, to the Demo-
Gratis or to the Republicans, but it is
inclined to say that the god citizens
should be very careful or they will
have a city worse by hundred per
cent. than ever was Greater New York
under Tammany's vilest and most cor
rupted chief. Now is the time to
clean out the political pothouses and
pests that have infested this city since
the present Mayor has been at it's
head and it is hoped that the Republi-
cans, Democrats and Populists who
have any respect for the rising gen.
GRAFTON will join hands in doing so.

even if they have to do so at odds.
A mass meeting is being talked of

they should by all means not overlook

councilman of the Second ward, where
he had lived continually for eleven
years, and was elected by handsome
majority, majority larger than ever
given any candidate from the Second
ward on any previous occasion. One
of the first matters taken up by him
after his election was the abatement
of nuisance caused by open sewage
in the southern part of his ward. For
years the sewage and drainage from
other parts of the city were dumped
into this ward in many instances caus-
ing fever and sickness, but by his
push and energy he has abated this
nuisance, closing up those open sew
ers and drains and turning them into
the south sewer tunnel, built nearly
ten years ago for that purpose, and
there has been general cleaning up
of odds and ends under his admins
tration. New cross walks have been

Probably he thinks he is in line for
promotion again, and so he holds on
to an office however small it may be
in fond expectancy. Perhaps he
would make an ideal warden for the
state penitentiary because he seems
tc have faculty of handling prison
ers, but the Pie-maker is of the opin-
ion that there are others in the state
of Washington who might fill the po-
sition with as much ability as Mr.
Price and who have not necessarily
held an office ever since they have
been in the state.

Douglas County, this state, has i'm
posed a license of $1,000 per year on
every saloon that does business in
that county. Now that Douglas Coun-
ty has taken a stand like that why
cannot Seattle do so as well? The
saloonkeepers are just as able to pay
81 900 in Seattle as they are over in
Douglas County, where they do not
get third of the trade that they do

The Young Mems Republican Club
Of this city gave their initial banquet
last Friday night and on the whole it
was a most excellent affair. The menu
served by the proprietress of the Lin
coin Cafe was most excellent one
and the Pie-maker is inclined to think
that it was enjoyed by every one pres
ent as they all seemed to have gone
there prepared to do justice to the
menu. The program for the evening
was carried out as printed with one
exception and the tq4sts pere apro-
pirate and well received. The presi-
dent of the club, Mr.. Geo. w. Dilling,
was the first speaker of the evening
and his remarks were loudly cheered
by every one present. President Dill
ling then introduced the POSTMASTER
Of the evening in the person of Scott
Calhoun. Mr.. Calhoun did honor to
himself in this capacity as we'll as to
his club. To the toast "Our Club"
Mr.. Geo. B. Lamping responded and
handled his subject with neatness and
dispatch. "Our President" was not
toasted as Mr.. D. c. Conover was sick
and unable to be present at the meet
ing. Our Governor" by Walter A.
Mcclure was heartily cheered by those

which Mr.. William M. Inglis, so wit
tily told the guests about, was the
hit of the evening. No one thought
that Will could talk, but he did it
just the same. "Our Soldier Boys"

descendant of Senator Allison, who
was recently elected to the United
States Senate from Iowa for the sixth
term. National Guards" a splendid
subject, but Lieutenant J. Howard

bull of the evening. Just why Mr..
Allen should have tried to hurt mems
feelings, who were there smoking the
pipe Of peace, nobody but Plenny AL
len could tell. In future it is sug-
gested that the club read Mr.. AL
lens speeches before he delivers them,
especially on public occasions. "Our
Duty to the Party" responded to by
Robert Wright, was all right and was
well received until it spun out too
long. Mr.. Wright was right for a
while and then he got wrong by say
ing the right thing at the wrong time
The Piemaker has offered this in the
shape of a criticism, not that he has
anything personal against any of the
participants, but because he has the
good of the club at heart. He is of
the opinion that the club would do
well to either expel or muzzle one P.
L. Allen and then on future occasions
he would not compromise it as he did
at their first banquet.
