The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1904-11-12

Mrs. Buxto was the only candi-
date defeated on the Republican
ticket. 1t was fully expected that
Miss Sweeney would carry this pre-
cinct and the valley by large MAORI
ties. She was born on this island,
her home has always been here and
she is well known and respected by
old and young alike. She has OBJ
tanned an education by sheer force of
character and determination and is
ambitious to excel in the art of music
for which she has developed excep-
tional talent. The knowledge of these
facts accounts for her large vote on
this island. Mrs. Buxton fully ex-
pected that Ter worthy competor
would be thus complimented at home
but she had right also to expect
that she herself would be more loyal
ly supported in her own home pre-
cinct and the other precincts of Orcas
island. She was defeated by ma
jority of 81 votes A change of
twenty-sevenv votes would have turned
the scale in her favor. In her home
precinct (East SounD the Republi-
can vote for governor was ", while
her vote was only 81, loss of 21. In
Orcas precinct she ran 19 votes be-

hind Mead and in Olga Is votes be-
hind "a total of 50 votes behind her
ticket on Orcas island Her defeat,
therefore, may properly be attrib-
uted to Orcas island rather than to
San Juan.
The Socialist vote for electors was
g.; Socialist Labor, 8; Prohibition, %;
Populist, 5.
Notwithstanding the very strong
efforts made to defeat Sheriff Nc
Crary he was elected by la plurality
of 1876 notes over Sutton and ma
jority of 46 votes over both Sutton
and Smoots. Nearly all the votes
received by Smoots would under or
binary conditions have been given to
the Republican candidate.
Mr.. Shultz also has reason to feel
gratifed over his majority of 157
votes over Mr.. Void, who is now, .as
he has been for many years, one of
the most prominent and popular
Democrats in the county.
Mr.. Sandwith, for commissioner Of
the first district, who had for his
opponent one of the most upright
and honorable citizens of the county,
Frank Guard, who enjoys the respect
and confidence of all who know him,
was elected by plurality of 1871 and
Mr.. Donahue, in the second district,
defeated Mr.. Woolard by 1875.
l. justice to Judge Lichtenberg it
should be stated that he was not in
any proper sense candidate, having
declined to accept a nomination from
the Democratic convention. ''Stick-
ers'' were used for him in some pre-
cincts without his consent and in spite
of his declaration that he would not
qualify for the Office if elected.
Mr.. Kirby's vote for auditor was
575; Mr. Courts for assessor, 574;
Mr.. Paine's for treasurer, 568; Mr..
Won Gohren's for surveyor, 535-
none of these gentlemen having any
opposition.

attorney.

The editor of the ISLANDER holds
to what may possibly be the old fash
ioned notion that every man who
processes to believe in party govern
ment and majority rule and who par
ticipates in the work of convention
and acquiesces in the nominations
made is under strong moral obliga-
tion to support his party's nominees.

AS usual Texas has gone Demo
cratic and San Juan county Republi-
can. Interest in the result attaches
only to the size of the majorities
The total vote of the county was
795, of which number the Roose-
velt electors received 554 and
the Parker electors 112, making
Roosevelt's plurality 442, much the
largest ever given in this county for
any president. The vote for Mead
for governor was 521 and for Turner
157. Mead's plurality being 1854. The
difference between the vote for the
Roosevelt electors and the vote for
Mead, viz, 33, may fairly be consid-
cred as representing the number of
Democrats who voted for Roosevelt
1t is a well deserved compliment to
Mr.. Mead that he polled practically
his full party vote throughout the
county. Judge Joiner, against whom
Judge Houser, his opponent, made d
personal canvass, won by the large
majority of 29O. The vote for the
various candidates on the county
ticket for contested Offices was as
follows:
For representative, Shultz, 438,
Void, 281; for sheriff, McCrary, 382,
Sutton, 226, Smoots, 10; for attor-
ney, Wynn, $40, Lichtenberg, 125;
for school superintendent, Mrs. Bux-
ton, 331, Nellie Sweeney, 1888; for
commissioner, first district, Sand
with, 400, Frank Guard, 272, Harpst,
33; for commissioner, second district,
Donahue, 446, Woolard 233.
The vote by precincts for Roose-
velt, Parker, Mead and Turner was
as follows:

In the national election Tuesday
President Roosevelt received the
stupendous plurality of 100000

dent MrKinley's plurality four
years ago. Roosevelt and Fair
banks will have at lest 325 votes
in the electoral college out of a
total Of 476. The Republicans will
have at least 90 majority in the
next house of representatives.
Mead is elected governor by plu-
rality of over $4,000 over Turner
and the legislature is overwhelm-
ingly Republican.

Tom Nawn and his company have proved the most acceptable headliners We have had in a number of weeks at the Jacques, "Pat and the Genii," as presented by them, being about the most original and daintily conceived bit of Irish comedy seen on this stage. This statement is made, too, with full realization of the big hit that Callahan and Mack made some weeks ago in '"The Old Neighborhood. It is an act that no lover of genuinely good Irish comedy can afford to miss seeing. The rest of the show has enough comedy and old fashioned vaudeville to com mend the performance as one of the really good ones of the season. Prices are 10, 20 and 80 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10. Next week the Four Lukens.

Curling fin America.

The tide of immigration had scarcely passed over the skirtlands of Canada before the game was well es- tablished In the United States, and by the early part of the nineteenth cen tury had become the winter sport of the Red River valley. By the time the railroad had made possible gath eaings from faraway clubs at 8 conn mon center, "bonspdels," lasting sew eral days, were participated in by hundreds of players
 The example of Winnipeg, which had its first great gathering of curl CTS in 1877, was quickly followed. Within four years the border line has been ignored, and the players of Manitoba met in friendly rivalry at St Paul the clubs of that city and of Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Chicago. On both sides of the line the game spread rapidly. To-day each coun- try has its national association and annual contests of players hailins from the Gulf of St Lawrence to Pu- get Sound, and from Winnipeg to Pennsylvania.
 A game so virile and aggressive must needs have sterling merits; and tt has.

 In the next place. it is q game which costs little money. A pair of granite stones and broom are the individual players whole outfit. True, the stones of to-day differ from tho@a picked out from some mountain stream and used without handles, having only a finger and thumb nick, which the early players used. They are now cut precise and polished, and are of blue Mennick, white Portsoy, gray Bur noel, or green gray Ailsa- Craig. They may have ivory handles but even then their cost Is unimportant.
 Furthermore, it is q game which has no restrictions of age. At re""''' "bonspiel" saw two excellent players relatively grandfather and grandson v and 22-had met in friendly rival ry.
