With a viea0 of tGirag the time and place
of holding the neat state convention and to
decide qUbet7er one or teO0 conventions be
held, Hon. Ellas Morrison, chairman state
central committee, has requested the MEM
berS of the state central committee to assem-
Bile IN this city February 18Th neat to con-
slider both propositions The one co'aven-
tiom idea must not prevail. 1t IS contrary to
precedent and against the aOashes of ninety
per cent of the Republicans of the state,
hence, 1t is repeated, 1t must not be done,
and If 1T is there aOiW be trouble.
Months ago the Pie-maker made bold to an
nounce that John D. Atkinson would in all hu-
man probability be the compromise guberna-
torial candidate Owing to the factional differ
ences between the Mcbride forces and the Fos-
r-Ankeny-Railro forces. 1t was plain to
be seen even at that early stage OF the game
that neither side would have strength enough
to name their man and, if the railroad folk had
strength enough to do so they would not, for
if they did the Mcbride crowd would certainly
bolt the party nominee and more than likely
defeat such nominee at the polls, hence some
kind of a compromise had to come. cOmpro
mise candidate for governor that would be able
to harmonic both factions would be the nat
ural order of things, and owing to the popu
larity of Mr. Atkinson in Eastern Washington;
and, owing to him not being identified with
either faction, he seemed to be the man. Mr..
Atkinson gave the matter no thought at that
time, but since then he has been so frequently
importuned by leading politicians all over the
state that he has decided to allow them to use
his name inconnection with the gubernatorial
nomination, and to that end his candidacy is
herewith announced, subject to the ratification
of the next regular nominating Republican con-
vention
Few men in Eastern Washington more
popular than Oliver Hall, and in suggesting his
name for lieutenant governor it is done with
the view of giving that section of the state sub
stantial recognition and in positions where
legislation can be more or less Influenced IN its
favor If Senator Hall is nominated and elected
railroad legislation can be forced by him as pre-
siding officer of the senate. His nomination will
guarantee an overwhelming Republican ma
iority from that section of the state and a
twenty thousand Republican majority for the

If Hurd succeeds, and his chances seem very
favorable there is lots of trouble ahead for the
governor.
1t seems fOregOne conclusion that, II JOhn
D. Atkinson gets out of the authorship race
the gang of slate fxers have decided to nomi-
nate James III. Davis for auditor. That will
give Pierce county two places on the ticket, and
will be quite sufficient inducement for that
county to lend the aid of its delegation to the
putting through the slate as herein mapped
out
In selecting E. w Ross for the state land
commissioner who halls from the southwest
it is to be done with the view of giving that
section some recognition There seems to be
no great anxiety the minds of the leading
Republicans of either faction to renOmlnate
Judge S. A. Calvert, for there are few mys-
teries about that office which may come to light
in case he is renominated which would put the
party on the defensive, but more anon
this point. E. W. Ross stands well in his Sec
ton and will certainly lend the combination
much strength. a
Neither faction will try to defeat Judge Full
lerton but the combination handling the above
ticket believes that by taking up Ell. D. Crow
Spokane county can be pulled away from Nc
Bride. Grow is very popular and it seems that
Spokane will have no other candidate for state
honors, but Grow with the exception of Col.
Ridpath, who it is not believed, will be able to
carry a single precinct in Spokane county.
Hon. John Il. Wilson sails January 19 for
Europe and will be gone until next May.

three months in Europe ON a bridal tour, have

Governor Henry Mcbride and his private sec
retary spent the greater part Of the past week
in Seattle laying wires for the capture of the
King county delegation for himself. The Seat
tie Argus is the only Republican newspaper in
the county that is supporting him, and the edi-
tor Of the Argus declares him to be the best
governor the Evergreen State has ever had, and
is doing the political stunt in good shape for
him.
Should Henry Mcbride succeed in his polit-
cal aspirations this year he will do so with the
He, however, has the solid backing of the Dem
ocratic press.
In speaking about Col Ridpath s candidacy
for governor, the Kettle River Journal advises
him 'to please don IT, We want to see clean

of you to intimate that the Colonel has shady

Should G. W. Clausen be nomi-
mated, and it seems that he surely
will be, it will justly recognize
the Scandinavian vote all over the state, and it
will strengthen the ticket, not in this section
or that section of the state but in every nook
and corner, for the state of Washington is full
of voters of Mr.. Clausen's nationality who will
vote for the party that will give them recog-
milton. Kitsap county has never been given
recognition on the state ticket and now is
most excellent time to begin.

Az this age the normal after lifetime
Is about ~ years, so that the real
loss Of life covered, measured In time,
Is represented by 100000 years per
annu,n. II we assume that the net
value Of q year oi human life after
the age OF 30 Ii at least $50, the real
less TO the nation resulting from the
disease "a large proportion OF which
Is known to be neeiless) may be es.
timated at $24o,000.00O per annum.
These astounding and almost incom.
prehensible tigureg are far from being
an exaggera.on; but let us assume
that only one-half Of this morality is
preyentable, and we have net nos
sible saving 10 the nati6n OF $l20 600
600 per annum. This estimate does
not take into account the social, NOR
al and sentimental value Of at least
100000 lives, which, under different
conditions, might reasonably hope to
continue for many years. The NOR
talty from tuberculosis il, therefore,
a problem compared with which all
other social problems of medical
character sink into inslgnificance, and
1t Is safe to say that the possible pre-
@ention Of large portion of the NOR
tality from this disease justly de-
serves the solicitude. the active per-
sonal interest and liberal pecuniary
support Of all who have he real well

heart.

OF $23,0o00o0; ana that the nation az

THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

Mr.. Bryan. in one Of his speeches,

paramount issue of this campaign.
We are inclined to think that Mr..
Bryan is mistaken. The paramount
isue Of this campaign is the constitu-
lion OF the United States-shall II be
enforced or nullified; the trusts, ex-
travagance In the public service, and
the dangerous personality Of Roose-
velt-his impnlsiye. erratic. rash and
unsafe temperament. his dangerous
policies. the big Stick" and lastly.

sue. Mr.. Bryan lost his own cam
paign in 1900 on hat question. That
entire campaign was fought on the
question Of expansion. and the battle
was overwhelmingly lost. The
only imperialism that can be safely
attacked by the Democrats is the i'm
perialism of the presidents own will,
