Speaking about voting reminds the
Pie-maker that unless you register
you cannot vote The registration
books have been open now since the
first Of January, but the voters are
very slow in taking advantage of it.,
which means that at the latter end
there will be a jam almost to suffo-
cation for the privilege of register
ing, and when the books will have
closed a great number will not have
succeeded in getting registered. Now
it matters not what you are doing,
take fifteen or twenty minutes time
and go and register, and save your
self much worry and bother later on.

they claim that he viii b. landed by

claim that he did not decide to be

Fifth ward; in fact, he rather resent

him by his close political friends. but
after the property owners almost in

IN local politics in this city, and
though it may give Mr.. Humes the
nomination for Mayor at the hands of

no good at the polls ten days there
after. The actions Of the Central

no, they took Mr. Humes, who ran

In announcing the candidacy Of
COuncilman-atLarge F. NJ MuldoOn,
the name of a man experienced i'll

voters Of the city of Seattle. Four

that the street car men and a mum

fight him to the bitter end. This
statement was not borne out at the
polls, for, as said above, he held his
own on the ticket. During his incum-

POLITICAL POT PIE

The situation as to the federal of
chaotic condition, and no one seems
to know where the other fellow is at.
A week ago it was generally thought
that Collector Huestis would retire
from the Collectorship and would be
succeeded by Marshal lde. but this
theory has all been upset and the
department at Washington City has
asked Mr.. Huestis to accept the Col
lectOrship for another four years, and
he has wired his acceptance OF the
same. 1t can be said without fear of
successful contradiction that Mr..
Huestis has made one Of the best Col
lectors, if not the very best, that the
Port Townsend Custom House ever
had. and the President having been
informed of Mr. Huestis' ideal record
in the office almost forced him to
accept a second term In Just what
position this leaves the Ide-HOpkins
fight no one in the state Of Washing
ton at present seems to know, but
there is a general feeling among the
politicians to the effect that Wilson
has won out and that Ide is going to
succeed himself. which. like the Hues-
It's appointment, would be a most eX-
cellent one, as Mr.. Ide has made a
Marshal for the past four years that
the government can justly feel ex-
ceedingly proud of

ton, no clique nor no select few are
boosting Mr.. Seagraves' nomination,
but the people are and, it is here
predicted that the people will win
out at the coming primary election,
and that A. A. Seagraves will be
overwhelmingly nominated He is
we'll and favorabIy known in Seattle
simply because he has been first and
foremost in every public enterprise
and undertaking that has been
brought forward by public-spirited
men. He has given more to charities
and religious causes than any other
man in that district, and so far as
his opponent is concerned, he has
given dollars to his dimes, for, it is
very currently reported that the pres.
ent councilman has never given any
thing for charitable purposes It
should be a genuine pleasure for ev-
cry good loyal, true American citi-
zen in the Fourth ward to go to the
pOIlS anu support A A. SeagraVeS,
who is a candidate for city council
man not on his own volition, but at
the earnest solicitation of hundreds of
his fellow citizens, and he accepts
over the opposition of his family. ev-
cry member of whom are bitterly op-
posed to him going into politics.
While Mr.. Seagraves has conducted
hotel ever since he has been in the
city, he has never permitted 1t to be-
come the resort for we'll known char
acters about the city, and while he
has made no pretension to being a
Sunday school scholar, nevertheless
he has never at any time allowed
saloon bar to be run in connection
with his hotel. He is a winning can
didate, and that he will win in this
fight is the prediction Of The Seattle
Republican.

that he has every detail whereabouts
at his fingers ends Captain CORN
/ ley IS very popular in his ward, and
Is likewise very popular throughout
the city. Not SO much from the fact,
az has been currently reported, be-
cause he is a veteran of the Philip
pine war, but from the fact that he
is a general favOrite with those who
have had occasion to deal with him in
either business way as we'll as those
who have met him in a social way.
He has been very conservative as to
the political warfares that have been
going on among the various factions
in the city for the past year or more,
and for that reason he expects to be
supper ted as warmly by one faction
as the other. The city charter speci-
7 fies that no one can hold the office Of
City Treasurer but one term at a
I time, and Captain GOrmley having
! served as Chief Deputy under the
( present incumbent, is certainly more
fitted to fill the office for the next
| two years than a new man And
! though his candidacy has been an
nOunced for a good many weeks prior
to this, no opposition has as yet come
forward to contest the nomination
with him, which is very conclusive
evidence that he is very popular in
municipal politics at present. Should
he be nominated, and it looks as
though he will, there is no doubt but
that he will be overwhelmingly elect
ed, regardless Of whom the opposing
party may name for the position
| against him.

cause he has made a good official,
and they see no good and sufficient
reason for turning down a good Of
fetal just to get a change. Many
measures have come before the coun-
Gil since Mr.. Blake has been council
man in which the city was vitality In
terested, for settlement, and on all
these questions it will be found that
he voted right, that he has always
taken the course that would rebound
to the city's very best interest. No
one can charge Councilman Blake
with having betrayed the citys best
interest or the confidence imposed
in him by his constituents in the Sev-
enth ward since he has been council
man, and such men are deserving Of
second terms when they so desire 1t,
and Mr.. Blake desires it, and his can
didacy for a second term is herewith
announced.

siOner, which position has been filled
for the past four years or more by
4. c. Little, has finally been settled
by Governor Mcbride, and T. R. Ker-
shaw, Of Whatcom has been the sue
cessful candidate. Mr., Kershaw was
backed by the leading Republicans
Of the Northwest without regard to
faction, and it is not very generally
supposed that this appointment cuts
any figure whatever in the senatorial
contest, which is playing such a con-
spicuous part in state politics at pres
ent.

Speaking about the new apportiou-
ment, which was made by the Repub-
ican Central Committee it has been
the town talk during the entire week.
and while some of the more enthusI-
astic anti-Humes Republicans still
cling to the belief that Humes can be
defeated, yet it was very generally
conceded by the more conservative
anti-Humes Republicans that it prac-
ticaIiy gave Humes the convention.
1t is very generally believed that he
will get the entire siXty-siX votes from
the First ward, and as the apportion-
ment now stands. he will get a major
10y OF the Fifth ward the Ninth and
make heavy inrOads on some of the
other wards. all because this new ap-
p0rtOnment. based on his own vote
TWO years ago, has been permitted to
become law. Much bitter feeling
has been worked up over the matter.
and if the anti-Humes Republicans
can find no other way to right the
wrong, it is very generally supposed
from the talk they openly indulge in
on the streets, that they will right the
wrong at the polls in March.

cides to make a change in the per-
sonnet of that board in the near fu-
ture. For years Senator Taylor has
been a conspicuous figure in Pierce
County politics, and has a strong fol-
lowing among the leading politicians
of that section of the state. His last
effort to break into politics was to
get the nomination for sheriff Of
Pierce County, but he was beaten in
the convention. Mr.. Taylor would
make a most excellent member Of
the board, and the Governor would

case he makes the change to favor

COUNCILMAN JED G. BLAKE.

Councilman Jed c. Blake has not
lost much Of his former popularity by
serving as a member of the city cOun-
Gil for the past two years. Mr. Blake
was the popular candidate Of the Sew
enth ward two years ago by a very
large majority. and he will, in all hui
man probability, stand equally as we'll
at the next convention as he did two
years ago. Blake is a bully good
fellow. and has many friends, and it is
very generally believed that he has
maze more political friends since he
has been in office than he did before
being elected to the position, which
he has so ably filled for the past two
years. Men who two years ago fought
his nomination in the Seventh ward
are now doing all in their power to
have him renOminated, simply be-

years the Republicans Of the Fourth

One hundred thousand dollars is
quite sum of money to add to the
bank account Of the city Of Seattle,
but if the citizens Of this city will
vote for the increase of license on sa-
looms at the next election it will mean
that this amount of money will be
forthcoming to the city over and above
what it is now getting, and that
amount Of money would go a long
way toward improving the city. AS
has been said in another column
hereof, if the saloon people are able
to spend thousands of dollars in or
namenting their places with the most
costly fixtures and furniture, they can
pay the city $1,000 per annum for the
privilege Of a license to rob those who
pauonize them. Whether the city
gets this increase of license or not,
the saloons will continue to rob in
way it's patrons and the citizens
should look at the matter in bust
ness way. and vote for the increase
Of license. The Pie-maker hopes that
every man north of Yesler Way will
vote for this license, and he would
have no objections to having those
south of Yesler Way also voting for
it, but it is not supposed that they
will do so. 1t is, however, supposed
that the voters who represent wives
and children will vote for it, and
that the proposition will be carried
by an overwhelming majority.

There seems to be no doubt at this
writing but that J. w. Goodwin will be
nominated by the Democrats for
Mayor without any opposition The
efforts on the part of those opposed
to GOdwin's nomination who strug-
gled to bring out William Pigott, s.
S. Bailey and other prominent Demo
Gratis as opponents to Goodwin, have
failed thus far and Mr. Pigott
and Mr. Bailey openly say now
that they will not be candi-
dates, they will make no efforts
whatever to measure arms with Mr..
Goodwin in the fight, and their names
cannot be used in connection with the
Democratic nomination for Mayor
This leaves Mr.. Goodwin clear field
and he will be nominated by a unaA
nous vote, and the Democrats c6uS&
not do a better thing.
