The Seattle Republican., 1905-03-10
(South Seattle News. }

John L. Wilson scored a personal victory
when he was able to deliver the Governors
veto on the capitol removal bill. No insinua-
ton is here intended that any improper in
ducements or arguments threats or promises
were made to the Governor by Wilson to Sc
cure the veto. The victory achieved by Will
son is due to his sagacity in determining the
state of the public mind, and his ability to
show the true condition Of affairs to the lead
ers of the party. AS maker of platforms
or as formuator Of policies that will win
approval and stand partisan contests John
L. Wilson has no peer in the state The lead
ers of the state Legislature can afford to listen
to the advice of John L. Wilson. He may have
lost personal prestige by his successive de-
feats for the U. S. senatorship, but he has
not lost his powers of constructive and mill
tant craftsmanship.
It now looks that the destructive corrupt
and i'll advised Republican forces Of the leg
islature were beaten to cover and some bene-
fetal legislation will be enacted that will
rebound to the benefit of the people Of the
state and strengthen the party for the future,
and Wilson and the P-I. are in the front OF
those that demand the redemption of party
pledges and the enactment of enlightened
laws.
Kitsap county is now judicial district all
by her lonely and j. B. Yakeq has been ap-
pointed judge until the next general election.
Kitsap, like many other judicial districts in
this state, will not have sufficient business to
keep judge busy tenth of his time, and
therefore the state would make money if
some Of their idle time was put in helping
to relieve the congested conditions OF the
courts of King and Pierce counties.

was tower of strength in keeping the King
county delegation from going to Wilson and
thereby causing a stampede in his favor.
Harper's candidate was elected and he is to
receive the place that Senator Wilson turned
him down for, more to show the irony Of fate
than for his real desire for the position.

Senator John L. Wilson promised it to him,
but Col Fred. Hustist got the place, which

thing Of the past, did great many good
things, and likewise did a great many bad
things all Of which will be discussed from
time to time in these columns without fear
or favor During it's life there seems to have
been more symptoms of petit graft for the
benefit of some one individual than ever be-
fore seen in a legislature in this state
There was no $350000 railroad sack
for distribution; in fact, practically no
dollars, hence the personal gratis were
given much consideration and prom
inence on the calendar For an exam
pie, the meat inspection bill, the fremen's
bill, the plumbers bill, and hundred and
one others.
The Lord was refused admission to the
late state Senate, lest the morals Of the mem
bers thereof be corrupted thereby, and yet
the most of the members were taught at a
dear old mothers knees to look to the Lord
for life everlasting. However, had this par
ticular Lord gained admission to the cham
ber when the legislators were celebrating
from moral viewpoint it would have been
a. true case of Greek meet Greek, diamond
cut diamond, two Of kind. Notwithstand-
ing his shut-out, the banking bill went his
way and for another two years he will have
absolute control of million dollars state
funds without having to pay cent for It's
use.
In the failure Of the legislature to pass the
direct primary law as was majority OF
the members instructed to do by their con-
stituents, party pledge was broken that
will be instrumental in either actually de-
feating many Of the members for a renOmlna-
ton and election or giving them an alfred
amount of political trouble. There was no
excuse for the failure of the measure, unless
it would mean the retiring from the leader
ship a few unscrupulous politicians.
Before Addison G. Fosters term expired
he made terms with the powers that be, which
succeeded in having Thomas Sammons, who
for the past six years has been his private
secretary. nominated and confirmed as consul
to Chinese post Do not overlook the TACT,
dear reader, that Senator Foster, after all,
came very near landing those whom he want
ed to hold federal positions. In spite OF An
keny s opposition, he landed George NJ Stew
art in the postoffce of Seattle 3. ?. Kings
bury as surveyor general at Olympia and
Thomas SammOns in the diplomatic service.
AS in these cases, so has he succeeded since
his second year in the Senate. On account OF
Senator Ankeny's inability to prevent these
onnoin+ments and confrmatons his former
friends are beginning to demur at his re-
election.
Political rumor has it that Hon. Fred. =.
Harper will at no very distant date be named
for the position of collector of customs OF the
Puget Sound district, with headquarters at
