THEY LIKE THEIR PASTOR.
Westminster Church Would Retain
Rev. A. G.. WardlaW.

Rev. Albert G. Wardlaw, formerly
pastor of the Presbyterian Church
here and now pastor Of the Westmin.
ter Presbyterian Church in Charleston,
recently accepted a call to the church
in Union, and resigned from Westmin-
ster. The congregation Of Westmin-
ster a few nights ago declined to con
sent to the dissolution of the pastoral
relation. This action of the Westmin-
ster people is highly complimentary to
Mr.. Wardlaw, showing that his worth
and services are appreciated as they
should be. The matter will now be
determined in the Presbytery. Mr..
State and whatever church secures him
will be fortunate.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

By local application as they cannot
reached the diseased portion Of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that Is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
inHamed condition of the mucous lin.
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube Is infamed you have q rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to it's normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is
nothing but an inhamed condiditon of
the uco surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any cas- of Deafness caused by
catarrh that cannot be cured by Halls

CONVENTION CATCHES.

Did the convention rush the Can?
Half the number of delegates would
have done equally well.
he convention had Piles of advice
wnen it wandered from the straight
and narrow way.
In future the country delegates
should stay in their seats until the
convention adjourns.
The Hart of the convention still pal
pilates from Democratic ulsease.
Inc omnipresent Smith family was
well represented.
AS predicted by the Republican, W.
T. Scott was a convention favorite.
Inc Clancys may not be Republican
bosses, but they. did not loose many of
the men they advocated.
If Billy Inglis resigned his position
to be a candidate for county clerk, he
can now resign himself to his fate.
In selecting Dr. Burdett as sergeant
alarms the proposition certainly car
ried weight with it.
Dr. Carroll was not nominated, but
DR.. Hoye now knows he is not as popu-
lar as he thought he was.
No king was to be coronated, but
the convention favored Knickerbock-
er's way of doing things.
For Matching up new combinations
Josiah Collins is an adept
The conventions Stewart objected to
giving the guests what he himself pre-
pared for them.
Fewer drinks between acts might
have been productive of better results.
It's to be regretted that the P.-I's
red headed reporter could not be fair
in his report.

a success in spite Oh the Stewards op-
position
Sunday School Lewis made it work
in the convention, but there is trouble
ahead for him.

Political Pot Pie

The second political gun of the sea-
son has been fired in the work of the
King County Republican convention.
It did its work well and followed in
the wake of the Walla Walla Repub-
lican convention by indorsing the
home candidates for state hOnOrS-
Harold Preston for United States SEN
ator and Will E. Humphrey for con-
gress The Walla Walla convention
indorsed Levi Ankeny for United
States senator, and now the state of
Washington has two full-fedged sena-
torial candidates, who are already on
the highways and byways making
turns wherever they can with outside
counties for support for their respec-
tive causes. At this stage Of the game
it is utterly impossible to compare
the relative strength of the two candi-
dates thus announced If Mr.. Ankeny
can capture the delegations from ma
jority of the counties Of Eastern
Washington he will go to the next
state convention and legislature with
a strong following, as he has consider
able strength in Eastern Washington
If, on the other hand, Mr.. Preston can
go to Eastern Washington and muster
something of following, he will go to
the state convention and the next
legislature with even a stronger fol
lowing than Mr.. Ankeny, because he
will be able to command considerable
strength in the northwest as we'll as
some in the southwest, which, COM
bined with that of King County, will
make him a powerful factor in the
party councils. Spokane, which, by
the way, is the largest county in East
ern Washington, has not as yet held
it's convention, but it will do so on
the 18th of July; and should it indOrse
John L. Wilson for United States SEN
atOr the senatorial contest would re-
solve itself into a three-cornered fight,
and it is thought that Mr.. Wilson
would draw strength froh both Preston
and Ankeny; and whichever one of the
candidates he would decide to throw
his influence to that one would be
successful in way. From legisla
tive standpoint the Seattle Argus
which is an anti Wilson paper, claims
that Mr. Wilson has ten out of the
twenty-five nominees for the legisla
ture from this county with him, an6
if this be true, then Mr.. Wilson is go
ing to have a strong following in the
next state convention and legislature
and he may be able to do as he did il
1899-name the successful candidate
or do better still, succeed in having
himself elected to the United Statel
senate.
Though the last county convention
The Seattle Republican., 1902-07-04

Some complaint has been registered
to the effect that Judge T. H. Cam
did not receive a majority of the votes
cast in the late convention for justice
of the peace, and therefore was illegal
ly declared the nominee of the con-
VentiOn. How remarkably strange
that the very same thing should have
occurred two years ago when Judge
Cam was given the nomination for
justice of the peace over Judge G. G..
Austin. The matter then was taken
to the courts for adjudication, and
from the secretary's figures it was
plain to be seen that Judge Austin
did receive a majority of the votes
cast and clearly defeated Judge Cam,
and the court so held, but while the
superior court ruled in favor of Judge
Austin the supreme court held that
there was no power to go behind the
decision of the chairman of a regular
convention, and that Judge Cam was
the rightful nominee, although he may
not have technically received a ma
jority of the votes cast. In the mat
ter at issue at present the complain
ant does not claim that he received a
majority of the votes cast or that he
received more votes than did Judge
Cam, but he does claim that no one
was elected and that he might have
been elected if another ballot had been
taken. Whether this case would come
under the rulings Of the supreme court
as parallel one to the case two years
ago is question, but it is very strange
that Judge Cam should always receive
the nomination by either a scratch or
a mistake, for certainly Judge Cam

voters Of King County. There is no

rallied against him and succeeded in
Debating him. Mr.. Allen had no ex-
cuses for making that brutal attack
on the P.-I. that night, and The Re
publican pointed out that fact in it's
subsequent issue, and now Mr.. Allen
knows that he made a mistake, be-
cause he paid the penalty by being
defeated for a nomination on which he
had set his heart.

| this is neither problematical nor pos
sible, owing to the fact that King
County is all the way from 5000 to
5000 majority Republican, and there
is nor was any serious objection to
Mr. Wooding being the nominee among
the King County Republicans. The
Republican party in King County is a
unit as to the present ticket, and that
being a fact the defeat of any of the
candidates thereon is out Of the ques-
ton.
There is no denying the fact that
the workers in the Republican party
in King County, as well as the voters,
are wildly enthusiastic over the propo-
sition to have a United States senator
from King County at the hands of the
next legislature. The convention was
unit in it's Endorsement of Harold
Preston, and it was utterly impossible
for any legislative aspirant to be nomi-
mated until he had pledged himself alb
solutely to the support of Harold Pres
ton for United States senator. The
Harold Preston idea ramified itself
throughout every legislative district,
and in the convention strong resolu-
tions were passed indorsing Harold
| Preston, and in many instances the
candidates were requested to sign
written pledges to the effect that they
would support Mr.. Preston until he
voluntarily released them from such
support. The Preston influence, how
ever, does not bind any of the mem
bers of the legislature as to what they
would do in case there was no show
for Mr.. Preston to be elected. In other
words, they are their own free agents
when Mr.. Preston says he cannot be
elected; but the legislators from King
County should go to Olympia next
January honestly striving to elect Har-
old Preston because they will have
been nominated and elected so far as
a United States senator is concerned
absolutely for that purpose
When the late county convention in
structed her ninety-four delegates to
go to Tacoma in September and use all
honorable means to secure the nomina-
ton Of Hon. Will E. Humphrey for
congress, it made no mistake, for Mr.
Mr. Humphrey is worthy of the honor
conferred upon him. His friends
throughout this county rallied to his
support when he announced his can
didacy for congressman, and at the
county convention he had practically
ninety-five per cent of all the dele
gates present as his supporters. If {
test vote had been taken it would
have been found that Mr.. Humphre!
) would have prevailed at the cOnVen
: ton by a three-to-one vote over hi
, opponent, Mr.. Albertson. Now if th
Republican politicians Of the state o
Washington desire to give King Coun
! ty one Of the three congressional nomi
nees they can do so, and do so know
) ing that they are pleasing an ovel

There is no denying the fact that
the Afro-Americans Of King County
were given no place on the county
ticket, nevertheless, from a political
standpoint, the race was most admira-
bly, honored by the late Republican
convention. In electing II. r. CaytOn
secretary Of the convention the Re-
publicans did something that has
never been done before in the history
of any state in the West: elect a col
ored man temporary and permanent
secretary of so large a county cOnven-
ton as the one just held. That con-
vention did more than elect Mr.. Cayton
it's secretary; it elected J. E. Hawkins
as central committeeman at large for
the next two years, and it likewise
elected Dr. Samuel Burdett as SER
geant-at-arms, all of which show very
plainly that the Republicans, and es-
pecially those of King County, are
going to do the right thing by their
brother in black" The honors con-
ferred upon the Afro-Americans by
the Republicans in convention assem-
bled are highly appreciated by all col
ored men of this state and county,
whether they be friendly or otherwise
to those colored men that were espe-
cially honored by that convention.
