POLITICAL P0T=PIE

The political sensation of the day is the defeat of
the Levi Ankeny municipal ticket in Wala Walla last
Monday by the Miles C. Moore anti-Ankeny Republ
Ordinarily speaking the results of that election
would have no political significance whatever the
politics of the state but in view of the fact that
a rebellion from the Ankeny regime, which has held
undisputed sway that county for the past ten years
it means whole lot and may be far-reachng enough
to be felt in the next state convention For the past
decade the political wishes of Levi Ankeny have
been carried to the letter. and every official within
the county of Walla Wala, from sheriff to constable
and health officer and even the teachers in the public
schools have been selected at Mr. Ankenys approval
but in this instance revolution broke out and though
all of the old-time vigor of the Ankeny machine was
brought play against the Boxers the old regime lost
the day and now CONSERVATION reigns supreme in the
Ankeny camp.
The defeat of the Ankeny ticket may mean that
the Boxers will control the next county convention
and completely overthrow the Ankenyltes but be that
it will may, it does mean that the people will
not tolerate those whom they have honored to
high and dignifed political POSITIONS meddlng into
their local affairs Mr.. Ankeny had reached the goal
of his political ambition by being elected to the United
States senate his duty to leave local political
battles to be fought by others and not in any way
mix in with any faction either in out of his county
Levi Ankeny of himself is doubtless just popular in
Walla Wal1a as he ever was, but Levi Ankeny, the
political boss and Dictator has signal defeat and
his power is rapidly the wane. The Pie-maker
would like to suggest to Senator Ankeny that he take
last Mondays gentle jar warning, and from now
on wash his hands of local political scraps and look
after national politics. It's utterly impossible for one
to continue being United States senator and at the
same time be a ward and precinct politician. You
have sufficient money at your command, Mr.. Ankeny'
to make an able and efficient senator, but you have
not got either sufficient amount of money or brains
to be both senator and local peanut politician at
one and the same time. This is not said in an un-
friendly spirit Mr.. Ankeny but it is said in positive
spirit and it is truly hoped that you will give up
local politics and be United States senator

OF possible 10000 at least to decide the question of
an issue OF 100000 bonds for charging and improv
ing the ctys school facilities is the farce that will
be enacted in this city tomorrow, l. e. only 32o per-
sons registered thereby qualifying themselves for the
duty of balloting this important matter. How
many of these will actually vote remains yet to be
seen. 1t is disgrace to the intelligence and accred--
tied public spirit of Seattle citizens that there has
been SO little interest taken. The Seattle Republican
is heartily in favor of the bonds but it is not right
that few voters should decide the matter 1t seems
to be that nothing but election with office stake
will stir the people to shake themselves from bust
and social entanglements to do the duty they
owe to themselves and the community. A continu-
ance in this way will soon community to die
of senile decay else place it in the hands of de-
signing few be used for ends that for the
greatest good for the greatest number We believe
the bonds will be voted and that the money raised
will be properly expended, but it is sad commentary
our public spirit We believe the people generally
in favor of the measure but how few votes it will
take to defeat it, if be those registered op-
posed. Surely this lethargy is not right. Where is
our boasted Seattle spirit?

Local politics both in the city of Seattle as we'll
as in King County is warming UP pretty fast consider
ing the fact that it will be months before the
next city convention will be held and over twelve
months before the next county convention will be
held The number OF aspirans for the mayoralty has
not increased since the matter last gone by
the Pie-maker in fact it seems to be in stau quo.
Mayor Humes will be candidate for reelection and
succeeding in that he will be ull-hedged senatorial
aspirant asking the county convention to endorse his
candidacy it did former occasion. Hon.
Ellis Morrison will be a candidate for the mayoralty
nomination, and it is said that w. H. Lewis will also
aspire to the honor.
As of yore Mayor Humes will be a candidate
for the wide-open policy people who will rally to his
support and in the past they will spend their money
freely for him. Ellis Morrison will pose the liberal
candidates. that is to say he will that the law is
carried OUT and yet he will not stand for any undue
'pnching" of the gang just because it is vile. w.
H. Lewis will represent what is generally known
the moral element of the city and will do Sunday
School politics. Each OF the three men has some
thing of positive strength, but neither of them
be said to be personally popular among all classes.
Humes has the gambling fraternity Morrison is popu
lar among the professional politicians while Lewis is
very popular with the members of the Pilgrim Sunday
school,
There are a hundred and candidates for the
various county Offices but many who now
ddates will think better of it before the next county
convention is called.
The withdrawing of John E. Humphries from the
supreme bench the signal for number of
aspirants to bob up for that honor. John K. Brown
is already an avowed candidate. 1t is also claimed
that Arthur E. Griffin or Judge Billie Pell will be
candidate for the honor They to draw straws to
see which one is to be the candidate

Again last night the representative OF
The News was on the street as on the
previous days but unlike the former occa-
sions none OF the many who greeted him
was successful in winning the S. reward.
Mr.. Charles f. Hunter. whose residence
Is 1890 Broadway was the gentleman out
with the receipt in his pocket. He travel
cd the district outlined for him. stopping
at several very prominent places but OF
all the number who accosted him there
was not one who had the proper creden-
tials for an introduction. Mr.. Hunter said
that there were any number OF persons
who met him and greeted him but In the
majority of cases they had forgotten TO
carry a copy OF The News In their pock-
cts.
At the hour scheduled Mr. Hunter left
The News office and journeyed to Turks
head TO begin his promenade. From there
he began his walk and remained out all
the time that was allowed him. He did
not hide himself but the people were not
able 10 spot him though he says there
were a number he thought were going to
greet him but when he neared them they
seemed TO have lost the courage mani
tested at distance.
Among those who appeared TO take an
interest in him were some young ladies
whom he passed at the corner Of Dor
rance street.
AS he passed them one of their number
was heard to say. That looks like the
man with The News. Let's go and ask
