The Seattle Republican., 1903-09-11

with Cushman and Mcbride, which will give the lat
ter Pierce county in the next state convention.
"Shoud Pierce county send Mcbride delegation
to the state convention and should this be the
of nominating the Governor and should he be elected
and should there be show for Foster there would
not be, assuming that it would be he and not Hamil
ton who will combine with the man-McBride
forces then Frank Cushman who would have been
previously reelected to Congress- would at be-
come formidable candidate for the senatorshp, pro-
vidng always the Governor, after casting the
situation would be convinced that there was no show
for his election To say the least this is going
see royal mix-up before the United States
ator has been elected"
The John D. Atkinson gubernatoria talk is still
being heard 81 know of no who has been spoken
of in connection with the next Republican guberna-
toral nomination that could be rallied round by all
factions so consistently John D. Atkinson" said
prominent politician from Eastern Washington. "If
Governor Mcbride looses the nomination, and I think
he will the farmers and business Of that section
almost as unit would naturally turn to Atkinson
their candidate. The railroad folk have objection
to him and therefore he stands most excellent op-
portunity of getting the nomination"
It is said that Charles Sweeny of Spokane, the mil

Dr. w. H. Hare has just returned from the Sound
country and when quizzed by the Washingtonian
man he freely discussed the political situation here
and elsewhere. We asked to the talk about his be-
ing in the gubernatoria race, he laughed and said:
ooh pshaW the fellows have to have somebody to talk
about, and that is perhaps why my name has been
mentioned. But, frankly to my mind the winning
candidate has yet been named but he be brought
out later I convinced of this fact, namely: That
the next Republican nominee will come from east OF
the mountains We have had two-the last two beat
en- and was from Seattle and the other was from
Tacoma and now those people want it to come over
this way" Doc does mnce words when he gets
to talking about Governor Mcbride and his political
aspirations "McBrde poses the anti-lobbyst and
such like while it is we'll known fact that at the last
meeting of the legislature he had the biggest lobby
of them all. But he's lmpossbil1ty as candidate
for governor and this is becoming more evident every
day. Gradually he is losing his hold if ever he had
any, He is not good politician, for he makes entirely
too many breaks You may agree with him on prac-
tcaly everything, except some minor matter, and
then it is all off, To my way of thinking it is going to
take candidate who is not out-and-out antrail-
road man. nor should he be too favorable to those in
terests Such man win out and such man will
sooner or later be brought into the race confidently

Not much as yet has been said on this subject despite
