BERT BARNES cRAMER.
The Seattle Republican., 1904-12-09
POLITICAL POT=PIE
AN APPEAL TO YOU.

1t is with difficulty that the average week
ly newspaper exists at all, even when run
by one among persons of his or her own blood
but when conducted by one of different
blood than those who must be his patrons,
and yet who fought his way through the sea
of CASTE and despite considerable preju-
dice and mountains Of apathy, has succeed
ed in issuing his paper regular every week,
the task is all but superhuman. Such is the
condition surrounding the issuing of The
Seattle Republican, which has now been
done without the loss of an issue for nearly
eleven years. It's readers and patrons are
among the best, the most influential and the
most progressive citizens of this common
wealth, and many of whom often speak in
fulsome praise of it's columns, but that said
they Immediately relapse into an apathetic
state to it's further concern as though that
would pay it's bills Such is highly apprecia-
tive and certainly most pleasing to hear, but
in lieu of something more substantial to pro-
vide for family necessities the man at the
helm has to look the other way to conceal
what he would like the other fellow to know,
yet without the courage to tell him. You
and each Of must have some faint idea of
the difficult task it is for the management of
The Seattle Republican to keep it afoat. If
you have not then permit us to take you into
our confidence and inform you that we have
the devils own time to pay the weekly bills.
If therefore you are indebted to The Seattle
Republican for measy subscription it will
will remit the same We make this personal
appeal to YOU because we need whatever
amount you owe and again let us take you
into our confidence and inform you we need
it very badly.

nothing definite will be done by either those
who met in Portland or any of the Others
until the legislature assemblies There are
other things besides the election of a sena-
tor that might call a number Of the mem
bers together and this perhaps explains the
Portland meeting.
The senatorial situation has become so
alarming, so far as Senator Foster is con-
cerned, that he has decided to spend no
more time at Washington City, even at the
expense of important committees he is on
until he has either been reelected or defeat
ed He will be home within the next week
and will assume the personal management of
his political affairs There is no doubt of the
fact that it begins to look dangerous for
Foster.
The Ankeny push in the next legislature
seem to be very much between the devil and
the deep sea. Some Of them swear that
Sweeney shall not be elected, others of them
declare that Foster is not the man to tie
The Seattle Republican., 1904-12-09

The Hon. j. g. Megler father of the Wash
ington state legislature, is a candidate for
speaker of the next house of representatives
of the legislature, and the odds are in favor
of him being elected, and that, too, without
regard to his senatorial beliefs. The state
of Washington has no more honorable man
within her limits than Mr.. Megler, and it IS
very generally believed that he will be
very acceptable compromise candidate for
that place by all of the contending senatorial
factions He halls from one of the smallest
counties in the state, but it is barely possible
that he already has more pledged votes than
any other candidate yet mentioned in that
connection
Among the politicians of the state the
senatorial question is still the all absorbing
one and many line ups between this and
that section of the state and this and that
click of politicians are reported. Some
twenty odd members of the next legislature
assembled in Portland few days ago for a
conference and all kinds Of reports of what
took place and what was actually said has
been in circulation ever SINCE but it is barely
possible that nothing definite was done and

while still others are working for Piles not
that they believe he can be elected but with
a view Of making terms with some strong
man who will protect Ankeny's interests in
the future.
The Columbian has no candidate for
United States senator from this state This
paper believes that the legislature, which
is strongly Republican, will be able to handle
this matter without the aid or advice of this
journal. The members of the legislative
body are men of ability and no doubt will
elect gentleman of experience and ability
in matters which may affect the state 1t is
considered part of inconsistency to meddle
with the business Of electing a senator If
Clarke county were to be directly benefited
by some particular selection, then it would
be correct to jump in and tell the legislature
what man to select; as it is that body can
select any good Republican and receive the

BAILEYS PANAMA VOTE.
He Gave Two Reasons for Speaking on It.

Crockett, Tex, Sept. 19.-Sen-
ator ]. ". Bailey spoke here this
afternoon to about fifteen hundred
people. His address was well re-
ceived and listened to with atten-
ton.
He spoke for nearly three hours
and the major portion of his time
was occupied with a discussion of
the legislation affecting the Panama
Canal and explaining his reason
for voting against the ratification of
the treaty. This explanation, as
he expressed it, was made for two
reasons: First, to vindicate him
self, and second, to denounce the
course President Roosevelt had taken
in the matter
He briefly mentioned the tariff
question and also the proposed new
National banking law.
In all his remarks were we'll re-
ceived and he made it sufficiently
plain why Judge Parker was the
most logical candidate for Presid-
ent.

OPAL, FRIDAY AND 70.
Mr.. Galbraith Tells Of What He Owes
Combination.

Suggestions? Bah, said Gen
eral Live Stock Agent Galbraith of
the Katy, as he mopped the dust
from a big opal scarfpin that he
wears.
Superstition is all bosh. I
bought this opal on Friday, the
18th of a month. I kept it thir-
teen weeks and had It set by a
jeweler whose place of business
was No. 1913 Thirteenth street in
a city in a central State. On that
day I had just SIS balance at my
bank. I was one of thirteen en-
ployes on a certain division of the
Katy. l had thirteen times as much
work to do as any one man could
perform, and I lived next doer to
a man who had thirteen children,
all living. Thirteen days after I
had gotten this pin from the jewel
Ct I made a trade that Melted me
$500 in two months and thirteen
days after I first started the trade.
I bought three colts that were thir-
teen hands high at the time I
bought them paid S50.13 a piece
for them. In thirteen months time
I sold them for Sis each.
Ever since I have owned this
opal pin, I have had a good posi-
ton and have never been fiat broke.
I now weigh thirteen more pounds
than did when 1 first began wear
ing it, and I have received thirteen
promotions with the KATY. l would
not take SIS, 600 for this pin this
day, which simply shows that there
IS absolutely nothing IN being SD
perstitions at all. Houston Post.

PARKER MANAGERS PLANS.


AIN and Sheehan Prepare to End Tam
many'S War ON Their Candidate.
Utica. N. Y, July 1.-Former Senator
David II. Hill, former Lieutenant Gov
| ernor William F. Sheehan, Jacob A.
Canter, Eliot Darforth and other ad-
herents of Chief Judge Alton B. Par
ker. while en- route to the Democratic
National Convention are perfecting
plans for a complete destruction OF
Tammany's opposition to their candi-
date.
Senator Hill professed to believe to-
night that Judge Parker would be
nominated on the second ballot II not
on the first and that the nomination
would be effected Friday. 1t was
learned that Mr.. Sheehan carries in his
pocket four proxies Of National Com
mftteemen who cannot be present at
the meeting scheduled early in the
week and that he expects to use them
IN perfecting the temporary organiza-
ton in favor of Judge Parker. This
will be great advantage gained, for
the seating temporarily of delegates
from contesting States favorable to
Judge Parker would give them the
naming of members of the Committee
on Credentials who will make the per-
manent vote controlling the defega-
ton.
The death OF the National Committee
man from Nevada, IT was noted today,
also removed a vote against Judge
Parker's friends on temporary organi-
cation.
There is a general feeling on the
train that the Tammany opposition
cannot amount to much at st. Louis.
