" J. REED WANTS CONGRESSMAN W. l. JONES' OFFICIAL SCALP

bic with this has been the fact that we are all
the time changing representatives in congress,
simply to satisfy the ambition of inflated politicians
Jones and Cushman have represented this state for
six years. Both men have made commendabe records,
and for the good of the should be kept there
Cushman's election records worth studying over
too He has led his ticket in the last two elections
by good plurality and if the politicians of Pierce
any attempt to down him. they may find trouble;
any rate the Tribune predicts that they will know
he is in the fght-Snohomsh Tribune
Senator Foster is seeking reelection and he has
already begun his campaign in Eastern Washington
When interrogated by the Spokesman Review about
his candidacy, he spoke follows:
"Will you be a candidate for re-election?" was
asked
"Yes was the reply, when the time comes will
be candidate for reelection 1t is good while off,
it is true, but my intention will not change"
"It is announced that State Senator Edward S.
Hamilton has concluded not to be candidate, but
that he will support you for reelection. What can
you say about that" was asked
Senator Hamilton is out of the state now,' an
swered the senator, and don't like to discuss the
matter in his absence I have seen his public state
published in the Oregonian and from what
I know of him. and of the situation generally I have
absolutely doubt that Senator Hamilton will be
loyal IN every respect and at every turn in the road
"Will Congressman Cushman get the support of
Pierce county for denomination? :" was asked.
81 don't know anything about the congressional
situation,' was the senator's diplomatic reply.
The senator's side step when questioned about
Frank Cushmans candidacy shows that he is in the
deal to defeat Cushman but this should create no COM

his election possible hours after he had been elect

Foster has not yet found him If he does not knife
Hamilton at the first opportunity, the unexpected will
happen.

POLITICAL.

Quite number of the leading politicians of the
Kitttas and Yakima valleys have been urging Hon.
Walter J. Reed to allow the use of his name in CON
nection with the Republican nomination for member
of the lower house congress before the next con-
ventlon and there seems to be doubt but that he
has finally consented to make the against Con-
gresham Jones' 1t will be remembered that Mr. Reed
made feeble effort along this line last year but
started too late in the game to make any very great
headWay. In this instance, however, he will take time
by the foreock and start in plenty of time to get his
candidacy under headway before the primaries in the
various counties pulled off. In speaking about Mr.
Reeds candidacy for congress a prominent Kittitas
county said to the Pie-maker one day this week;
"Why shouldn't Mr. Reed or Mr. Anyone Else be
candidate against Mr. Jones? do know that Mr..
Jones has any mortgage the office and he has been
three times honored by nomination and election and
I reason why he should not be willing to step
down and out and support Mr. Reed, who halls from
the same section of the state does he. Then again,
l have been credtably informed that Mr.. Jones is a
candidate for the United States senate and if that
be true he has claim the voters for a reelection
to the position he holds 1t is right for one
hold to fat office and his official in
fuence to help him get another, and all the time work
the idea do not get it I will still have the one
in my possession to fall back on shall do whatever
l can to nominate Walter ], Reed for congress, and I
believe voice the sentiment of 90 per cent of every
voter in Kitttas county, and pretty nearly many
in Yakima county in my undertaking.
As was predicted by the Pie-maker in the last
issue of The Republican, Governor Mcbride has not
strengthened himself in King county by supplanting
Superintendent Westendorf OF the Chehalis reform
school, with c. S. Reed. The appointment has been
discussed length by the politicians of King county
and it has been universally condemned. King county
has eight hold-over senators before whom Mr.. Reeds
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1903-06-26

confirmation will come and a one of that number
will vote for his confirmation. The senators do not
mince words the matter and they speak right out
in meeting and say Charley Reed will get their
VOTE and they say that, too regardless of the fact
that he, Reed claims King county his legal resi-
dence lust how the fellow expects to get through
with what is staring him in the face is what
puzzles the Pie-maker, and just what Governor Nc
Bride expects to get out OF his appointment is
more puzzng than the former.
Speaking about Kittitas county reminds the Pie
maker that it is going to be something Of battle
ground for the politicians year owing the fact
that three members of the next legislature are be
elected from there-a senator and two members of
the lower house-and already much sparrng be-
tween the friends of the senatorial candidates 60
ing for the nominations. Kitttas county is by
great many politicians considered Foster county but
by the anti Foster folk it is by considered
hopeless1y So and a fight will be made to at least
divide the delegation The railroad influence in that
county is strong factor and especially in the prim
aries owing to the fact that great many railroad men
work and vote in the county, and that of will be
voted in the interest of Senator Foster but the farm
does not always think does the railroad vote,
and hence battle royal between the two factions is
promised. Rosyn, which is of the largest pre-
cncts in the county will have the balance of power
in the county convention, and already the railroad
politicians are bestirring themselves to control that
precinct and thereby make certain all three of the
nominations The fight may not be as bitter
intense the that is promised in Pierce county
nevertheless it will be hot number

Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, Sept %
Big receipts In the local market was the feature
in wheat this morning. Against 246 cars on this
date last year there were $50 cars in this morn

cars against $50, and Chicago received rs against
261. The three markets had 1888 cars against
$685. which was rather bearish at the least.
With this there the report Of the secretary 8
office showing that for the first half of the
week the increase in local wheat stocks totals
about $4,000 bu. Good receipts are predicted
for the remaining days Of this week, and so far
as the movement Is concerned the situation pre-
