The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1903-07-24


Its like gaul and wormwood to the Colfax Gazette
to think of the governor of the state coming from
Seattle and it relieves itself of the following piece of
billingsgate:
"a Seattle paper is boosting John E. Humphres of
that city for the gubernatoria nomination on the
publican ticket year. It will be we'll for the poll
tcians of Seattle and the Sound country to remember
that they defeated the railroad commission bill in the
last legislature. 1t will also be we'll for them to
member that the issues of the next campaign will be
named by Eastern Washington men and that the
double cross" which the farmers of this country
ceived last session cannot be repeated again. And
while they remembering those things, will
offer the suggestion that they think that they have
any coming than they have already received they
had better confer with the "east side" just little
before cutting the pie. Seattle may be able to do
things of the time, but she must not conceive
the idea that she do all of the things all of the
time
Seattle has all coming that she can get and with
oneth of the delegates in the next state convention
you will find she has good deal coming.
Whenever some of the little two by four quacking
papers of the state desire to do candidate
local harm because forsooth they have another, they
spring that old chestnut 'hes railroad candidate.
The following from the Cotton News Letter will of
itself more fully explain what is wanted to be brought
out in, this connection than volume of words:
1t is amusing to note the anxiety of the railroad
wing of the Republican party to find some suitable
candidate for governor Now it's Hunt and again its
Humphries, and yet again other The
east and sides of the state clashng on this
question already but dare carry the thing too far
faor # md
their not too forces Meantime the rank and
file keep on endorsing Henry Mcbride.
Mr. Humphres is as far from being railroad can
didate as is Governor Mcbride, and yet Mr.. Humph-
res if elected will be just fair toward the railroads
as toward the farmers. He will have special favors
for either. -~.- ;.
Not disturbed in any ways agtated as to the
number of prospective gubernatorial candidates. ac-
cordng to the Olympia Capital, Governor Mcbride
moves on in the tenor of his way. The Capital
says:
The sound of the Seattle Republican horn it an
nounces its regular weekly gubernatorial candidate
does not interfere with the steady of sawdust
which flows from Governor McBride's steadily vbrat-
ing wood-saw"
Time and time again do persons pungs head1ong
the great Niagara rapids because they will not
heed the danger horn signal warning them that the
rapids below. When is late then they strain
their every nerve to prevent awful destruction,
but the hour of grace has passed and over they CO.
leaving but a wreck behind. Tell your friend that
there is something doing in gubernatoral circles and
he had better get on himself or he won't be
in it,
1t is barely possible that Editor w. D. Mays en-
thusiasm has gotten the better of his judgment when
he makes of the following thoughts:
"That paper published by a Negro at Seattle is
edited with distinguished ability showing large brain
behind it. 1t is little daft politics. but such man
should be encouraged"
AS has been repeatedly sad in these columns it is
the aim and object of the management of The Seattle
Republican to give to the public weekly paper that
will be readable by everybody without regard to their
color nationality, and if Brer Mays is to be be-
