JOHN 3. WILSON.

John B. Wilson, by profession a
civil engineer, is candidate for repre-
sentative in the Twelfth district, Wal
la Walla county. He was born in
Mills county, Iowa, October 4, 1866.
In 1868 he came with his family to
Walla Walla county and has resided
continuously in the wheat belt ever
since that time. After coming to Wash
ington and finishing an early educa-
tiOn he taught school and studded
civil engineering, finally graduating in
that branch. He married Miss HUI
dab Reed and has two daughters. For
five years he was city engineer of
Walla Walla, and has been elected
county surveyor and assessor at diff
ferent times. For four years he was
employed as surveyor and engineer
Off the Oregon Railroad & Naviga-
tiOn Company, and at times did con-
siderable government surveying. Mr..
Wilson has been active in Republican
politics for many years, and served
term as chairman of the Republican
central committee, disseminating the
work when he recently purchased a
house-furnishing establishment in
Walla Walla, which he is now manag-
ing successfully.

in the schools of Dry Greek and Walla
Walla. Until 1898 he resided on a
farm, and left the old home only to
take up the work as sheriff of his home
county. In 1891 he married Miss Su-
san M. StetsOn, and one child, a girl,
has come to the home Mr.. KEGS pa
rents came west in 1859, locating in
the Willamette valley. They removed
to this county the following year, and
have resided here continuously. Mr..
KEGS was chosen sheriff in November.
1898, and was reelected by a large
increased majority in 1900. He was
recently chosen chairman of the Re
publican central committee, and is a
leader in many public matters. Mr..
KEGS is at the heead of the Repub-
lican county organization and is con-
Quoting the campaign personally in
Walla Walla county.

When the name of Will Ingliss was
sprung On the late Republican county
convention in opposition to that of
G. A. Koepfli, who was aspiring for a
second nomination, as were others in
that convention, and who had made
a most efficient official, it was done
supposedly at the instigation of George
B. Lamping, who himself had just
been unanimously nominated for his
second term, but who desired to see
Mr.. Koepfi defeated and one of his
clerks nominated in lieu thereof.
There is no doubt in the minds of all
Republicans in this county but that
the scheme to nominate Will Ingliss
at the expense of Mr. Koepf1i was well
understood by George B. Lamping,
George U. Piper and others of that
ilk Of politicians. The scheme, how
ever did not work and Mr.. Koepfli
was nominated in spite of them, but
the friends of Mr. Koepfli have not for
gotten that proposition and the Pie
maker would not be surprised if
George B. Lamping did not lose four
or five votes on that account, and per-
haps that four Of five votes might be
multiplied into four or five hundred
Mr.. Koepfli had made a. splendid Of
fetal and the Republicans saw no rea-
son why he should not get a second
nomination, if others, and among them
George B. Lamping, got a second NOM
ination. This is the kind of a man
that is now seeking q reelection at
the hands of the Republican party, a
man who will sacrifice everything and
everybody for his own selfish inter
ests.

say a word for the county ticket and
a Republican meeting, too, or sup
posed to be. 1t was purported to be
called under the auspices of the Young
Mems Republican Club. Why is the
governor SO solicitous about Walla
Walla county? King county did not
declare for the commission bill, nor did
Snohomish. Messrs. Wilson, Denton
and KEGS, Republican legislative nom
inees, will no doubt prove themselves
worthy of every confidence repOsed
in them. They are too well known
to be injured by imputation, or do
they need any eulOgising. Senator
Cornwall voted against the last com
mission bill and up to this time has
survived the action taken by him any
many other gentlemen, nor has the
senator's social or commercial stand
ing been impaired by reason of that
act. True, the senator or any Of his
colleagues from this county will not
vote for the Hon. Harold Preston. It
is also true they would refuse to vote
for the governor for the same position
OF events or his ambition forced him
into the senatorial fight. Is the Sc
lection of either of the gentlemen
to the perpetuity of Repub-
Iican party or it's principles? The ma
jOrity of the citizens Of this county
realize that they now have an Oppor-
tunity to secure a United State senator
and they are leaving no stone unturned
to accomplish it, either. Favorable
reports are being received from other
parts of the state relative to Mr.
candidacy and this spurns
them on to greater effort.
1t will interest the citizens of Spo-
kane to know that there are several
we'll known Spokaneites here, among
whom are Weber, the harnessmaker;

WALLA WALLA POLITICS AND
PERSONALS.

The political pot at this time is
boiling at whie heat in this county.
To defeat Hon. Levi Ankeny for the
senate is the hope of a few disgruntled
Republicans, aided, of course, by the
regular organized Democratic party.
With this in view the governor was
invited to speak without the knowl-
edge of the regular organized cam
paign committee. There is no doubt
that the Democrats were fully advised
as to the Importance of the meeting
and were out in force. The trick was
really so raw that what effect the
speech might have had was Offset after
the real motive was analyZed. When
the governor that he (the governor)
would urge the election of the entire
face of Mcbride. That there was a
we'll defined significance in that facial
expression subsequent events proved.
The meeting was held in the opera
house at about 2.S0 p. m. The gov
ernor arrived, accompanied by his man

were reserved for Senator Turner.

In closing the campaign The Seattle
Republican is 10th to do so without
at least saying a few parting words
in behalf Of the reelection of Mr..
Heinrich from the 33d senatorial dis
trict. Four years ago, when Mr.. Hem
rich was first elected, he was then an
untried and inexperienced man, but
now he has four years legislative ex-
perience to which he can point with
pride as an evidence that he is emf
nently fitted for the position which he

had done in his official capacity.

Mr.. Denton's early educational advan-

thirteen years of age, when he was
compelled to discontinue his studies
and go to work. On March IA, 1868,
he enlisted in Company G, Ninth Kan

ed two years later. Then for three
years he drove a team on the Santa
re trail from Fort Leavenworth and
Kansas City to Fort Union and Den

county, Oregon. After spending some
time in Oregon he removed to Wood

Again the Pie-m .aker wishes to call
your attention to the fact that you
must vote for three members of con-
gress instead of two, as in the past
The candidates on the Republican
ticket are Wesley l.. Jones, Francis
W. Cushman and Will E. Humphrey
Just who are the candidates on the
Democratic ticket the Pie-maker is not
prepared to say, inasmuch as there
have been SO many changes along that
line since the Democratic state con-
vention adjourned. They, however,
will not get corporars guard of votes
and of course will not give the Re-
publican candidates any serious con-
Germ. The Pie-maker predicts at this
time tnat the state will go Repub-
lican to the tune of at least Is, 900
majority next election and there is
not going to be more than 500 votes

Sheriff Cudihee agrees to give col
ored man regular employment in his
Office.

Notwithstanding the fact that The
Seattle Republican has stood ready at
any time to open its columns to George
B. Lamping to deny the charges made
against him as to his remarks about
the Negroes, he has neither taken
advantage of these columns or availed
himself of an opportunity to deny them
in the columns of any other paper,
and he, therefore, has practically pied
guilty to the charges. The Republi-
cans of this county cannot afford to
elect such a man to Office. 1t simply
won't do. If they do the very old
Nick will be to pay in the future.
The P1e-maker, therefore, advises each
and every good and honest Republican,
whether he be white or black, to
vote against Lamping and right the
wrong which he has committed.

A LAMPING FOR LAMPING.
Lamping has made a poor public
servant.
Lamping has spent the most of the
past two years out of his office.
Lamping is an official sinecure and
a public parasite.
Lamping does not respect persons of
his own nationality after election day.
Lamping is non persona gratis to
even those who were most RESPONSE
bic for his first election.
Lamping does not keep his politi-
cal promises after he has been elected
to an Office
Lamping has recklessly insulted the
Negro voters, which is hurtfuI to the
Republican party
Lamping is charged with boasting
of having shot Filipinos for target
practice while Philippine soldier.
Lamping was willfully shooting
Catholics when he was shooting Fill
pinos out of cocoanut trees.
Lamping is fast and furious liver
and such persons sooner or later come
to no good end.
Lamping's man Friday, Will Inglis
came very near splitting the Republi
can party in the last convention.
Lamping is kind of a Republican
that does not want colored votes -
he's Republican nit.

persons work in his office lest the

Unless the Pie-maker is sadly mis-
taken there is an air of overcon1dence
anon gthe Republicans in this county,
which may cost them great many
votes. The assumption that the Re
publican ticket is going to win hands
down may prove true, but occasionally
such an assumption gets badly slipped
up upon and the opposition elects
their ticket instead of your ticket win
ming. Republicans by the wholesale
are contemplating not going to the
polls, believing that the county is so
overwhelmingly Republican that their
votes will not be necessary in the
coming contest This spirit of apathy
was seen in the registration, as hun
dreds of Republican voters failed to
register in due season in order to as
sure them a vote next November. In
times of peace it is well to prepare
for war, and unless the Republicans
begin at once to prepare for war they
will find that next November they will
| be weighed in a balance and found
wanting. The senatorial ticket in this
county is to be especially attacked all
down the line and it behooves the Re
publicans to keep sharp lookout for
such flank movement.

of the labor measures that were in
trOduced in the two sessions of the
legislature of which he was a member,
but neither the facts nor the figures
substantiate Mir. Conway's allegations
along this line. Senator Heinrich is
now and has been for a number of
years employing in the neighbOrhOod
of 800 laborers, all Of whom belong to
labor organizations, and with whom he
has had no difficulty whatever No
strikes or misunderstanding between
employer and employee have ever
been reported from the concern of
which Mr.. Heinrich is president. The
labOring men of Mr.. Hemrich's dis
trict will vote for him as freely as
they will for Mr.. Conway, if not more
so, because Of the fact that he gives
them employment, and that is more
than his opponent can say. The Sc
attic Republican advises its readers in
that district to give him their votes
and if so he will be elected, and over
whelmingly.

In closing this campaign the Pie
maker wishes to say one word in favor
of Chairman Knickerbocker, who has
worked faithfully and hard for the sue
cess of the Republican ticket Mr.
KnickerbOcker has had difficulties to
confront that few other persons oc-
cupying the same position in the past
had to meet, but he has acted nobly
and conducted the campaign in a most
diplomatic manner He has not been
selfish, but has worked for the inter-
ests of every nominee on the ticket
Other chairmen have done as much,
but Mr.. Knickerbocker has had some
trying things to meet in the campaign
now closing His associates declare
that he has been as fair and square in
the conducting OF the campaign as any
man with whom they have ever had
political dealings, and it is to be re-
gretted that he had to be thrown up
against such difficulties as he has
been.

The rally of the season will be held
at the Armory hall tOmOrroy (Satur-
day. evening, and Chairman Morrison
of the Republican state central com
mittee hopes that a large attendance
will be present to hear Congressman
Cushman and Governor Mcbride, who
will address the voters of King county
on that occasion. Mr. Cushman is
undoubtedly one of the best campaign
speakers on the Pacific coast at pres
ent and will do his audience justice
on that occasion. Persons who were
fortunate enough to hear Mr.. Cush-
man speak at the last Republican state
convention will agree with the above
statement. Ii, therefore, you wish
to hear splendid speech and perhaps
the best of the entire campaign, you
are invited to be present at the ArmOry

Speaking about Mr. Cushman being
in Seattle next Saturday reminds the
Pie-maker that there has been some
silly talk going about the state to the
effect that the Republicans of King
county were going to cut Cushman and
vote for COtterill on the grounds that
Cushman was an enemy to Seattle.
That such is political rot and clap
trap, eminating only in the office of
the Seattle Daily Times, is foregone
conclusion. Mr.. Cushman will not run
one hundred votes behind Mr.. Hum
phrey in King county, and that is say
ing a good deal, because Mr.. Hum
phrey is quite popular at his home.
The Republicans are going to vote a
straight ticket so far as the state is
concerned and the business men of
Seattle are not going to deliberately
give Mr.. Cushman a club with which
to hammer them over the head. They
wanted a representative in congress
and the state convention gave them
that, and they are not going to be
foolish enough to demand three places
in congress instead of one. Mr. Hum
phrey will be elected to congress next
Tuesday. If the Republicans should
likewise vote for Mr.. Cotterill and
elect him they would then have two
congressman, and what in heavens
name would be the chances Of Harold
Preston being elected to the United
States senate under such conditions
If the Republicans Of King county
knife Frank Cushman next Tuesday
they will hear from that days work
again when Harold Preston comes be-
fore the legislature for the United
States senatorship next January.

Hon. Will E. Humphrey, the Repub

it is the duty of the King county
voters to give him the grandest recep-
tion that he has received at any other
place in the state. A phOphet may
be without honor in his own country,
but the maker is going to predict
that Will Humphrey is going to be
hOnOred next Monday evening in his
own county and by his own people.
If there is anything that King county
can boast Of it is her loyalty to her
own representative men. 1t, therefore,
behoOves every voter to turn out next
Monday and fill Armory hall to it's
utmost that the balance of the state
may read in the P.-I. the next morning
of the grand reception that was tend
cred to King cOunty's candidate for

Humphrey has made a splendid cam
paign; he has attracted attention and
favorable comment at every point
where he has spoken and this should
be an incentive for the people of
King county to turn out in great num-
bers to hear him close the campaign.
George B. Lamping has not himself
proven to be trustworthy and capable
official He has been burden to the
taxpayers. He has not attended to

PROSPERITY FROM TARIFF.
Canada Is Enjoying Good Times
without RcSortinE to the Repub-
Iicaa Method of Protection.

The United States and Canada are
two great countries with a border
line 5000 miles long. Naturally it
might be supposed that an economic
system that would benefit one would
also benefit the other. Such, how
ever, does not appear to be the case,
if the statesmen in charge are TO be
believed.
The republicans who are it in
the management of our trust ridden
government are perfectly certain
that the prosperity which they talk
so much about Ito make sure that
we have it, is due to our high pro-
lection policy, inaugurated five years
ago. Canada lowered her tariff du-
ties about the time we raised ours.
and the statesmen there are nUs
crediting their prosperity to these
lower duties. \ recent issue of the
Toronto Globe says:
IF under any scale of duties the
industries of a country are prosper
ing. higher duties cannot be justified
even on grounds Of expediency. The
country has now been for five years
under a tariff very considerably low
er than that which prevailed in the
previous Il years, period amply
sufficient to test the efficacy Of high
protection. The prosperity of our
industries under the low tariff has
far exceeded that enjoyed under the
high tariff. The result is that the
extreme protectionists are forced
back upon the idea of retaliation
pure and simple. The United States

will not buy our goods rs freely as
we buy theirs Therefore we must
cut down our American imports un-
til something like equality is estab-
lished. Germany has made some
foolish determinations against Ca
madam wheat; we must, therefore.
aim to strike blow at Germany. In
this way the word protection loses its
meaning. What is sought is not the
protection of our own industries. but
the injury of somebody else's."
This high tariff produces prosper
ity in the United States and low
tariff produces prosperity in Cam
ada. Let we'll enough alone and
don't touch the high tariff" say our
republican statesmen. let well
enough alone and don't touch the
low tariff" say the Canadian states
men.
Verify this is queer world and
the tariff is perpleXing question,
Is it possible that five years of good
crops in both these countries and
poor crops in Europe have anything
to do with our prosperity? Is it
certain that we are prosperous at
all, outside of the protected trusts
and the farming sections of the
west? VIII not the trusts soon have
gobbled up all of the surplus pros
perity even of these western farm
ers?
