The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1902-06-27

One OF the hard fights for nomina-
ton is being made for the place of
auditor on the Republican ticket. H.
H. Hubbard, present incumbent, has
served two terms and is therefore in
eligible for third nomination. C. G.
Carpenter, however, one of his chief
deputies is an aspirant for the place.
His experience in the office probably
will get him votes, but at the same
time the fact that he is one of the
present force in the Office will lose
him some support. There is feel
ing that it would be we'll to give other
worthy Republicans positions in this
office in place Of those who already
have served some of them for four
years. Some are opposed to Mr.. Car
penter because it has been thought
that he would keep the same force in
the office. 1t is said he has denied
this and has said that he would keep
but very few, or perhaps none at all.
This, however, does not seem to have
helped matters much, for the boys in
the office have heard that Mr.. Car
penter has made this statement and
now they are opposing him. In this
way he is meeting with opposition
which is quite undeserved, for he is
universally considered a good man for
the place.

The activity on the part of the can
didates for Office cannot be greater
after the convention than it is now
Dozens of them are travelling the
county over talking in their own in
terests and seeking support. The po-
litical haunts in the city, too, are
quite populous these days. Button
hOling is persistent, but up to date
there has been no great bitterness en-
gendered. The only difference there
will be after the convention will be
that the defeated aspirants will have
dropped out leaving fewer to do the
same work which now is being done
by the many From now on it is not
expected there will be many new can
didates come into the field for the en-
dorsement of the Republican conven-
ton. For most of the offices there
are several candidates who have thor
oughly canVassed the county and who
have done so much work that it is
doubtful if new men entering the field
would have much chance of securing
nominations. This is true both Of
county and legislative positions. It
is probably true that about every nom
ination will be secured by some one
already in the field.

The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1902-06-27

Frank Bracht, president of the
board of county commissioners, is an
other candidate for the position Of
auditor. He has been in the field for
some time and probably will have
good support in the convention. 1t is
said some of the employees of the au-
ter would not give them employment
are for Mr.. Bracht. Mr. Bracht, how
ever, is handicapped by the feeling
that some new men ought to go into
the court house and that the old Off
Gals who are barred by law from
seeking third terms for the same po-
sition ought not to attempt to go from
enc position to another in order to
keep in the public employ. There is
quite general feeling that if most
of the present court house officials
who have served in their present
places for four years sWop about and
take other court house positions in
order to continue in Office contrary to
the evident intent of the law the en-
tire Republican ticket will be weaken
ed. This is working against Mr..
Bracht. His friends, however, say it
should not do so; that to give him
the position of auditor is only a de-
served promotion warranted by the
service he has given as president of
the board of commissioners.
There is still a third candidate for
the Republican nomination of auditor,
and he seems to be without the draw
backs which hinder the chances of
both Mr.. Carpenter and Mr. Bracht.
He is lack Stewart, formerly county
superintendent of schools, and at pres
ent principal in one of the public
schools of the city. He has a large
acquaintance especially in the coun-
try, and is universally popular

DEMANDS ATTENTION.

"Of course" he said, "the senators
on the Republican side are not in
terested, I could hardly hope to reach
on such subject the minds and
hearts of the calloused majority
the commercialized, money grabbing,
money loving majority, as such
subject is not in consonance with the
miserable, canting, damnable attitude
which that party Is now assuming.,'
By the time he concluded this lin
guistic diversion Mr.. Tillman had the
attention Of all the senators present.
Mr.. Tillman declared it was the
history of all conquering armies when
prosecuting such q struggle as the
British pressed against the revolu-
tionary colonists, and which is now
being carried on by the British in
South Africa that they committed
cruelties and trampled upon all the
obligations Of humanity.
"And I would ask the majority in
this chamber" he said, "if, in trying
to force the Filipinos to accept our
government without a promise, they
are not inviting the evaporation OF
the natives and spirit of perpetual
insurrection."

January 31.-The senate today

formed early in the week and held
two sessions, morning aud night. At
the morning session, after lively

compulsory education was killed by
a vote of Is to Is. The bill to re-
quire railroads to furnish spittoons
in passenger cars passed its second
reading with only one dissenting
vote.

panion bill providing for biennial
sessions which was passed Wednes.
day. There was no debate on the
bill. By a vote of 81 to Is the
house agreed to the hill to make the
term four years. This was just one
vote more than the necessary num-
Der. One or two members who had
voted against the bill changed their
votes or it would have failed, per-
haps.
By a vote of 81 to II thu house
adopted MIR. Efrd's other proposed
amendment to the constitution pro-
viding that the governor may fill va

Mr. Richards offered a resolution
to the effect that the general assem-

consider the resolution and it went

his anti pistol law passed at the last
session. The law provides that after

Mr.. Cooper explained that the bill
merely corrects q verbal error in the
act.
Mr.. Rucker has bill to repeal the

on it last year, 4G to IS, and h'
thought the act was passed under a

Washington, Jan. 3O.-Today's
session Of the senate was entirely de
void of the tumultuous scenes which
characterized the sessions of the past
three days. After the Philippine
tariff measure was taken up at z
o'clock Mr.. Tillman delivered a
speech, devoted almost entirely to a
discussion of the part bis State took
in the war for the independence of
the colonies. Incidentally he refer
red occasionally to the pending bill,
drawing morals, as he said, for the
benefit of the majority, that they
might be applied to the present
trouble in the Philippines and to this
governments treatment Of the Fill
ipino.
The South Carolina senator said
he had little intention to discuss, ex-
cept in an Incidental way, the Phili-
ippine tariff bill. He desired, he
said, to continue the discussion of
the "very interesting historical sub
iect" which had been brought to the
attention of the senate by Mr.. Money
of Mississippi. He would have some
thing to say about the matter yester-
day had not Mr.. Lodge employed
what he considered ungraclous tac-
tics. These tactics were supple
mented by other Republican Sena-
tors, he said, and "my gallant young
friend from Indiana (Mr. Beveridge)
leaped into the arena and charged
the minority with conspiracy and OBJ
struction."
"The PHILIPPINE tariff bill," he con-
tinued, ''is very important from the
standpoint of those who propose to
pursue relentlessly and remorsely
the present Philippine policy, al
though the senator from Utah (Mr.
Rawlins) has shown that there is
now over there plenty of money for
the csrpetbaggers to spend"
JABs M'IAURIN.
Discussing the historical subject
raised yesterday Mr.. Tillman said:
81 am glad that Massachusetts has
one representative in this chamber
even if South Carolina has only one"
he interpolated significantly, "Who
stands for the principles upon which
this government was founded, those
principles which constitute the true
road to liberty"
He then entered upon an elabor-
ate account of the part South Caro-
lima took in the war for the independ-
ence of the colonies although he said
he was i'll prepared to do so great a
subject justice.
While Mr.. Tillman was speaking
several senators engaged in conver'
sation among themselves. To this
Mr. Tillman objected because OF the
interruption aud he requested thai
those engaged to retire to the CLOAK
rooms. For once he was, he said
making a speech for home consump
tion.

DO YOU CHEW TOBACCO?
Senator Ilderton's bill to require
railroads to furnish spittoons in pas
senger cars then came up for dis
cussion, and Senator Dean moved to
strike out the enacting words.
On the motion t. strike out the en-
acting words, Senator Dean was the
only member voting afirmatl7ely,
and the bill was then given It's Sec
ond reading.
Senator Ilderton's bill fixing the
term of Office of railroad commits
sioner was then given its second
reading. There was no discussion
on 1t. The bill requ res that they
shall be elected every two years.
AS TO CANNON CRACKERS.
Mr.. Wells bill to prevent the sale
of cannon crackers Of more than
three inches in length was then tax
en- up. Senator Sullivan moved to
strike out the enacting words.
Senator Ilderton supported it. The
large cannon crackers are not only
dangerous, but are exceedingly an
noying to all people and in7alios.
They also frighten horses.
Senator Graydon also favored the
bill. The making of large fire crack
ers has been carried to excess. He
cited one instance were a young lady
in Abbeville had been SCARED for
life by one of these large fire crack
ers.
Senator Sullivan opposed the bill
on the ground that it would not cor
rect the evil complained of. For in
stance, fire cracker might be three
inches long and SIX inches in diane
ter. We simply can't regulate
Christmas festivities.
The motion to strike out the en-
acting words YVES lost and Senator
Applet offered an amendment to
make the legal fire cracker one and
a half inch in diameter. This was
adopted.
Senator Barnwell then offered an
amendment that fines for violations
should not exceed 500, and this, too,
was adopted. The bill then passed
it's second reading.
TO AID OLD SOLDIERS.
Senator Douglass bill to author
ize county commissioners to give cash
aid to INDECENT Confederate veterans
at their homes, instead Of receiving
them into the county poor houses,
was then given its second reading
without discussion.
This action is significant, as it was
bill proposed IN opposition to the
soldiers home bill.

"chattels, as CATTLE" he said, was
"damnable," and he charged the ma
jority side with being the "real MUIR
derers of our troops in the Philip
pines"
"But," he asserted, shaking his
finger at the Republican side, "if we
can gag you and force down your
throats scintilla or small dose Of
the principles which actuated the
men of Massachusetts in 1776 we
will have done our duty to the coun-
try and to humanity"
In brief colloquy with Mr.. Bur-
ton of Kansas, an allusion was made
to the remark of Mr.. Tillman yester-
day about the burning of negroes in
Kansas. Mr.. Burton said that no
one in Kansas was proud of commit
ting murder and Mr.. Tillman re-
torted, "they preferred to murder
them in the Philippines"
Commenting upon
THE sEDITIoN LAWS.
promulgated by the Philippine COM
mission, Mr.. Tillman expressed doubt
whether he would be allowed to 60
at large in the Philippines, if those
laws were enforced. In this connec-
tion, he inquired of Mr.. Hoar wheth-
er the Springfield Republican, which
he said, was opposed to the republi-
can "imperialistlc policy" would
under those laws, be permitted to be
circulated in the Philippines.
81 Decline" said Mr.. Hosr, ito be
drawn into a discussion of Mas
sachusetts newspapers"
eff dip into this bucket for any
more light" said Mr.. Tillman,
laughingly, II am afraid I'll not get
it."
"While I decline to enter upon
anv discussion of Massachusetts,
newspapers" said Mr.. Hoar, II will
say to the senator that if he wants
to know my opinion of the commls-
sioner's order, I will give it to him.
I think it is an abominable order"
"In the absence of anything spe-
cifc," Mr.. Tillman replied, "we will
take that end of it."
In conclusion Mr.. Tillman said the
pending Philippine tariff bill as
proposition to erect a tariff wall be-
tween the United States and another
part of the domestic territory was
departure from every principle
that had brought this country to the
pinnacle of greatness and made it
the cynosure of the eyes of the
world as ''the land of the free and
the home of the brave"

senate adjourned.

TOWNSHIP ASSESSORS.

There was a long discussion over
Senator Sullivan's proposition to
give township assessors 81 per day,
but it was defeated. This is the pro-
vision for the township assessors.
"That the township assessors of
the various counties Of the State
shall each receive, as compensation
for their services, the sum of 81 per
day for the time actually employed,
not to exceed three days in any one
year, except in those years when
real estate is to be assessed, when
the number OF days charged for shall
not not exceed five"
COUNTY BOARDS OF EQUALIZATION.
This is the provision for the coun-
ty bosrd of equalization:
"That the members of the county
boards of equalization of the various
counties Of this State shall each re-
ceive as compensation for services the
sum of s. per day for the time actu-
ally engaged and cents per mile for
necessary travel, the number Of days
charged for in any ono year not ex-
ceeding five, except in those years
when real estate is to be assessed,
when the number of days charged
for shall not extend ten"
