might have been injected into the
Preston campaign was smothered out
by the reception given them on ar
irving at Olympia and that, too, by
the very man and men in whose in
terest they were there.
lack of enthusiasm in the Preston
campaign was because he has been
hooked up to the Mcbride railroad
commission bill and permitted his
election to the senate to become only
a kite to the governors pet hobby.

his most loyal and enthusiastic sup
porters. and be expressed the situa-
ton fully. Delegations sent from Sc
attic to advise with the King county
Legislators, who urged the election of
Mr. Preston, when asked did they
want railroad commission, did not
mince words in answering in the mega
tive. I'VE want Preston for senator,
because he is a King county man,
but we are not in favor of any rail
road commission bill under any con-
dition," were their final decision in the
matter. If men could show any spirit
of enthusiasm under such circum
stance you must go further than here
for your information.
More political information the year

attic Republican each week than any
other weekly paper published in or

With the election of Levi Ankeny
and the defeat of the railroad commits
sion bill in sight the railroad people
are strictly in luck, but it is up to
them to decide after getting all they
have gone after, if in doing so they
have not killed the hen that laid the
golden egg. In getting all they want
ed have they not so badly comprom-
ised the Republican party that defeat
even at this stage of the game is star
ing it in the face. However favorable
Western Washington voters may be
to the railroad interest it is very
evident that Eastern Washington vot.
ers do not entertain similar views and
will vote their views at the next op-
portunity. The Fusion party was de-
feated two years after it's sweeping
victory in 1896 because it did not full
fill its pledges and promises to the
people made on the stump. If the
Demo-Pops had have passed the anti
railroad measures that they promised
in their Ellensburg convention to do,
the party in all probability would now
be in power in this state, the national
Republican prosperity to the contrary
Notwithstanding. In convention as
sembled the Republicans made GER
tain promises like unto those made
by the Demo-Pops, and like that ag-
gregation will go back on them in the
legislature. Now will history con-
tinue to repeat itself and the Repub-
lican party be defeated as were the
Demo-Pops. The railroad commission
bill from a Seattle-Tacoma stand
point is a very bad measure, but after
all these two big counties lack great
deal of casting enough Republican
votes to stem the storm in case a
squall hits the grand old party. Let
Republican not overlook the fact

Teller Told True.

The legislative squabble in Colorado
has ended in the election of Henry M.
Teller as United States senator. The
struggle might have been prolonged
but Mr.. Wolcott withdrew from fur
ther participation in the contest and
nothing more could be done but to
acknowledge Mr.. Teller the winner.
Stormy times prevailed in Denver dur
ing the height of the senatorial excite
ment, but luckily for all concerned no
blood was shed, as was generally
thought would be done before the
struggle finally ended. Mr.. Wolcott
claims that the collapse, so far as he
was concerned, was brought about by
the treachery of a number of Repub-
licans. He, however, paid a glowing
tribute to Senator Teller's honesty, up
rightness and ability.

! that their party is first and it's sacred
rights should be carefully guarded
and protected.
Patrickhenryw the fosilitic-
political acrobat, who is fearful lest
the Negro of this country become his
equal at the ballot box, has departed
from Olympia after a two weeks
struggle with the Legislature on
various matters. The old fossil must
have been thoroughly convinced be-
fore he left the state capital that the
intelligent members of that august
body thought him no better political
adviser than the most unpretentious
Sambo anywhere to be found in the
lagoons of the South. In whatever
gathering he is to be found he unfor-
tunately always gives himself dead
away by talking too much out of his
mouth, and it takes his hearers but a
few minutes to discover that through
the aperture in his Uranium only wind
and gas spontaneously wheezes
through which produces grating
noises, which, to some extent, resem-
bles the human voice.
Whether the King county delega-
ton should or should not have con-
sented to a caucus is still the burn
ing question at Olympia among the
members and lobby in general and
the King county delegation in partic-
ular. There was never enough
votes in the legislature opposed to
Ankeny even if they had have had all
combined to have elected Preston
without Democratic assistance and
that was far fetched and very uncer-
Gratis had have split up on
Republican candidates it's dol
lars to doughtnuts that Ankeny would
have gotten more than Preston. I'm
der such conditions the King county
delegation could not have hoped to
do more than to bring about dead
lock" preventing the election of any
one-and King only being a county
in the state of Washington it is very
doubtful if her representatives would
have done her any political service
by permitting the legislature to ad-
journ without electing a senator when
her candidate was the minority one.
Levi Ankeny had majority of the
Republican Legislators ever since the
session convened and that too not in
Guiding King and by all the rules of
political precedent he was entitled to
the election un.ess he got that ma
jority by questionable methods, and
no one seemed inclined to go on the
stand and swear that he did. With
these facts looming up in front of
them like Rainier it is absolute rot
to charge the King county delegation
as being traitors and rascals because
majority of them favored caucus
that the senatorial question might be
settled, and needed legislation might
be fastened. 1t is to be regretted
that King county is once more in the
soup, but it is not the Seattle spirit
to sit down and whine over adversely,
but rather to profit from experience
with the view of succeeding the next
time and in the past she has always
done so.

Oklahoma worlds fair building.
Although the weather was very cold, .
said Governor Ferguson, I'VE had de-
lightful time There were present fifty
one residents OF the territory, and while
they may scrap a little at home, they
are all loyal to Oklahoma when abroad.
The building is perfectly satisfactory-un-
doubtediy the best on the grounds for
the money-and the dedicatory services
were carried out according to program.

lis all in readiness for the exposition. It
could commence tomorrow and the terri
tory would open the doors of her new
building and show to the world as fine
an exhibit as can be produced in the west.
Fruits of all kinds are in cold storage
in abundance; agricultural products that
will be unequaled are there; the glass jar
exhibits and other displays are in the
building, and I consider it remarkable and
highly creditable to the territory's enter
prise that Oklahoma, the last child of
the Louisiana purchase, should be the
first to complete her building and get
her exhibits in readiness.
THE building is sIaendidly located. 1t

trance, and has New York, Iowa and

The governor was asked il he had read
the text of the bill for statehood that
Delegate Mcclure has introduced in con-
gress and replied that he had only read
the summary contairsd in the Eagle Of

printed were along the line of the decla-
