The Seattle Republican., 1902-08-08

The second ticket in Spokane coun-
ty has been nominated 1t is the
ticket of the PrOhibitionists. which
was placed in nomination by a mass
convention last week. The ticket is
fairly good and will draw the full party
vote. Some of the supporters think it
will draw much more than the party
vote. 1t may draw slightly from the
other parties, but certainly not heav-
lily. Many who now look with favor
upon 1T, when the election comes, will
not throw their votes away on what
they call principle, when they know
their votes so cast cannot possibly
elect. Those persons who sometimes
vote the prohibition ticket because
they say the men nominated for GER
tain offices by both the other parties
are not good men admit they have no
excuse for doing so this year, for it
is admitted by all that the Republi-
cans have upt up men Of exemplary
character and reputation for all the Of
fees, and the Democrats seem deter
mined to do just as well this year.
The campaign in Spokane county
probably will not be opened by either
party till after the state conventions
in September. The Republican county
central committee does not expect to
be called together till after the con
ventions. 1t still is an unsettled uues-
tion who will be chairman of the Re
publican campaign committee. D. T.
Ham is almost the universal choice
but it is not known whether he will
accept. If he fatty refuses Alonzo
M. Murphy may be persuaded to take
it. POPCORN.

WhatcOm county is one Of the coun-
ties referred to, and why it's actions
will be important on the actions of
the state convention will be that she
has a candidate for supreme judge,
and, being one Of the largest counties
IN the northwest, will exercise some
influence over the smaller counties of
that section and may be able to unite
them in the support of both Judge
Hadley for the supreme bench and
Frank Brownell for congressman.
This, however, under the circum-
stances, is going to be a hard PROPOSE
tion for Whatcom because Of the fact
that if the northwest should be sue
cessful in nominating Judge Hadley
and Frank BrOwnell twO-thirds of the
state officials would hail from that
portion Of the state, and the balance
Of the state would not stand for it
fer single minute. There are at
pI CoOAI HUN IIlG uOGIuW0Sl prominent
in the states official roster: Governor
Henry G. Mcbride from Skagit county.
State Land Commissioner S. A. Cal
vert from Whatcom county, Secretary
of State S. H. Nicholas from Sno-
homish county, and Judge Hadley and
Frank BrOwnell. In addition to these
the governor has made the most of
his state appointments from the
northwest, and Senator Foster has
likewise selected one or two of his
prominent appointments from the
same section. 1t will thus be seen
that, politically speaking, the north
west is already top heavy, and the Re
publicans will hardly stand for any
more nominations from there, not even
to the nomination of Judge Hadley.

and confronted with the allegation of
not wanting to be fair to corporations
and institutions that are doing more
for the upbuiding Of the state than all
CT the farmers combined. If the rep
resentatives Of the farmers do not
tavOrably consider the railroad propo-
sitiOns ,.lat have been made, then it
will be up to the commercial enter
prise of the state to act in harmony
with the railroads, and thus the rail-
read combination will be forced into
politics and must either act with one
or the other faction of the Republican
party or must affiliate with either the
Democratic or Republican party in
carrying out their plans for the
upbuilding of the state of Washington.
The three counties in the state of
Washington that have not as yet held
their conventions, and which cOun-
ties will have considerable bearing
on the final outcome of the state con-
ventiOn and its nominees, have fixed
the holding of their conventions for
the 23rd Of the present month. While
the largest counties, as has been pre-
viously said in these columns, have
held their conventions, nevertheless
the actions Of the three county con-
VentiOnS herein referred to will be
anXiCusly awaited by the politicians
throughout the state.

Speaking about the state convention
reminds the Pie-maker that Hon. Ellis
Morrison is a candidate for the chair
manship of the state central commit
tee. How strong Mr.. Morrison is re-
mains to be seen, but it is here pre-
dictetd that he is going to make a
good hard pull for the place. The Pie
maker has been quietly informed that
he is backed by both the Ankeny and
the Preston men, and, if he will prom
ise to be good to all of the senatorial
aspirants, he will find no great opposi-
ton among the Wilson men. If such
be the actual conditions, Mr.. Morrison
will be chosen chairman Of the state
central committee hands down.
1t is known that the supreme court
has not as yet handed down any de-
cision as to the number of judges to
be elected to the supreme court this
fall nor as to whether or not the state
is to elect governor in lieu of the
present lieutenant governor, who is
acting as governor, owing to the fact
that the governor died in office. 1t is
very generally believed that the su-
preme court will hold against all of
these propositions, nevertheless there
is a most decided feeling of uneasi-
ness as to what the decision will be.
lest the supreme court declare that
three judges and a governor must be
elected. In that case a nasty political
fight would be the result.

That branch of the party which calls
itself the better element declares it
will be impossible for tie Byrne-C Cof
feen men to capture the primaries and
the convention. They think the rank
and file of Democracy will not submit
to it, but as one Of the prominent men
OF the party, who is not supporter of
either faction, said this week. Il am
not so sure that the Populists will
not capture the convention OF course
it does not seem reasonable, but |
remember it did not seem reasonable
two years ago, but they did so. The
old time leaders the Democratic
party said the Populists could not get
control. They laughed at the idea.
Yet | remember they did do it; but |
never could see how it was done. 1t
was still more pronounced in the city
convention of the Democratic party
last year. The old time Democrats
were Outgeneraled in some manner.

After all there seems to be at least
one redeeming feature in the United
States taking possession of the Philip
pine Islands as recent reports from
that place declare that in the interior
of one of the islands lives pure eau
caSian tribe of natives, who hold them
selves aloOf from all outside asso-
ciates, and who are semi-civilized in
their customs and habits Those who
have argued in the past that the Unit
ed States had erred in assuming pos
session of these islands on the grounds
that it had a black elephant on it's
hands can now modify their state
ments and look forward to the select
ing of rulers from this tribe, which is
estimated to number in the neighbor-

SPOKANE, Aug 4-Bitterness be-
tween the rival Democratic factions
has grown in intensity during the past
few days. The Byrne men are angry
beyond measure at the conduct of the
old line Democrats. On the other
hand, those Democrats who were Dem
Ocrats before there was such a thing
as the Populist party declare they
will no longer submit to the Populists
controlling their convention as they
have done in the last two instances.
If the Populists will come in and be
Democrats and support real Demo
Gratis for the offices they will be well
come, but they will not again permit
such men as Mayor Byrne and his
POpulistic followers to control the
Democratic convention and nominate
POpulists for office under the name
OF the Democratic party. Senator Tur-
ner is urging and pleading with the
different factions to get together to
compromise or to agree upon some
plan which will give them chance to
win in the November election. The
senator, however, is more anxious to
compromise than are any of the lead
ers of either the POpulist wing of the
party or the stalwart side The Byrne
men declare they will fight to the bit
ter end. If they should be defeated
at the primaries they say openly they
will continue the fight till after the
ballots are counted. They say their
opponents can offer them no induce
mentS which will content them to al
low the stalwarts to control the con-
vention. They declare the Democrats
have done everything in their power
to injure the city administration of
Mayor Byrne. Instead of supporting
him and assisting him to gain control
of the affairs of the city hall they have
permitted Republicans to remain in
office month after month rather than
to confirm in the city council the per-
sons whom the mayor has named for
places.

The Tacoma convention, which has
been set for the 18th of this month.
is also attracting much attention
among politicians at present. Tacoma
has candidate for reelection to con-
gress, and, as in Mr.. Jones case, the
entire state is anxious that Mr.. Cush-
man be renOminated, and it believes
that Pierce county will enthusiast
cally indOrse his denomination. No
light whatever is being openly made
against Mr.. Cushman in Pierce county
and yet it is generally understood that
Senator Foster and Ben Groscup would
be heartily glad if it should so han
pen that Mr.. Cushman would be de-
teated for denomination. Senator Fos-
ter believes that the denomination of
Mr. Cushman will injure the chances
OF his reelection two years from now.
and for that reason he wants Cush-
man defeated in the next state con-
Yention. OF course he will make nc
open fight for the nomination of FaIk-
nor, but the senator is willing, SO it is
said, to make terms with Falknor in

That the POpulist branch of the
party is playing politics is quite evil
dent. In the past week they sprung
a surprise that all politicians still are
talking about. The Populist county
central committee has not been in ses-
sion for years. That such an organiza-
tion existed had been forgotten. But
the Byrne men hunted up the secre-
tary and had him call a meeting of the
committee for the OstensibIe purpose
OF calling a Populist convention to
name a POpulist ticket or to treat
with the Democrats for a division of
the offices in the good old way when
fusion was popular The Democrats
say this is only a bluff, and probably
they are right as far as a POpulist
ticket is concerned. But the Byrne
men evidently intend to strengthen
their position, and it is quite likely
they will succeed. At any rate they
are playing politics, while their oppon-
ents seem to be doing little but kick
ing about it.

Call for Republican State Convention.
The Republican state convention
for Washington is hereby called to
meet at the city of Tacoma on We'd
nesday, September 10, 1902, at the
hour OF 10 o'clock a. M, for the pur-
pose of placing in nomination three
candidates for Congress and one can

and for the transaction Of such other
business as may properly come before

The basis Of representation will be
two delegates at large for each county
and one delegate for each 100 votes
or fraction of so or more cast in each
county for J. M. F'rink, Republican
candidate for governor at the general
election OF 1900, the apportionment for
each county being as follows:

Acting Secretary.

1t can be said, without fear of sue
cessful contradiction, that the three
transcontinental railroads that pass
through the state Of Washington have
formally entered the political arena
Of this state, and in future the poll
ticians have got to either cut bait or
throw up the sponge. The proposition
that Mr.. Hill, Mr. Mellen and Mr.
MOhler made to the farmers of East
ern Washington during the past week
must be acted upon by them or they
will meet the issue at the polls
and at the legislature in the future

ThurstOn county has likewise de-
cided to hold it's convention August
23rd, and it, too, has a candidate for
congress in the person of A. J. Falk-
nor, and in case Mr.. Falknor succeeds
in getting Thurston county it is highly
probable that he will be able TO make
terms with the old southwest com
bine" and come to the state CONVEX

can prevent Mr.. Cushman from break
ing into the southwest combine there
is no denying the fact that he will
give Mr. Cushman hard fight for his
money, but as in the case of Mr.. Jones
OF North Yakima, it is not believed
that Mr.. Falknor can command any
strength in any county outside CT
ThurstOn, and it is not believed in
political circles that he will even be
abe to capture Thurston county to the
extent OF using it as a trade COM
modify, and in case he does not do
that, then he stands no show what

cred for the nomination to congress at

Foraker Is Willing.

In an interview with a Cincinnati
paper not long since, Senator j. b.
Foraker, who is second in political
power in the state of Ohio, gives it
out that Theodore Roosevelt without
opposition can have the next presiden-
tial nomination. The interview in part
is as follows: Are you correctly quot
ed as to the Republican candidate of
1904, that nobody is seriously thought
of but President Roosevelt"
Yes; the statement published is
correct and the fact is as there stated.
Roosevelt is the only man who is SER
iOusly thought of by the great masses
of the people. There are a few flick
ering flames that some ambitious par
tisans are trying to fan into a blaze,
but they cannot make them burn stead
lily, and they must all go out in due
time, extinquished by the fire damp
of American politics"

On to Oyster Bay.

On to Oyster Bay.
All roads now lead to Oyster Bay,
where, during the summer months,
President Roosevelt is enjoying his
vacation. While political matters are
not extensively gone into by the presi-
dent at this time, nevertheless, quite
a few persons journey to Oyster Bay
with the view of interesting the presi-
dent in some political way. Between
the Office-seeking politician and the
newspaper reporter with kodak in hand
the presidents time is almost as much
taken up as when he was at the White
House attending to his official duties.
Regardless Of him being on a vacation
there are two very important legisla-
tive measures that the president is en-
deavoring to keep an eye on during the
summer vacation and first and for
most of them is Cuban reciprocity,
which the last Congress failed to pass.
Secondly, the Panama canal PROPOSE

interested and which he hopes to
bring to a high state of perfection be-
fore he retires from the presidential

North Yakima has decided to hole
its convention August 23rd, and it's
actions will be watched with much
interest owing to the fact that it will
either indOrse the denomination of
Hon. w. l.. Jones or it will not do So.
Mr.. Jones is a candidate for renomina-
tion, and the balance of the state is
anxious that he be renominated, but a
fight has been started in North Yak
ina, backed by Walter J. Reed, who
has begun the publication of a weekly
newspaper for the express purpose of
defeating Mr.. Jones, and if Mr.. Reed
should happen to succeed in snatching
the county from Mr. Jones it is highly
probable that Mr.. Jones would not be
nominated by the state convention.
But such a state of affairs is not ex-
pected to happen. 1t is believed all
over the state that Mr.. Jones will have
Yakima county hands down and that
Eastern Washington will give him a
unanimous vote in the state conven-
ton and that he will have no opposi-
ton whatever in Western Washington
under such circumstances.
