be known that any but the regular

Home Savings bank are IN the same
building as the Chicago National

street and fifty feet west to the corner
of La Sale street. q large detail Of
policemen was in evidence and the
assurance of those who had received
their money and the officials Of the
bank that everybody would be paid
allayed all excitement. All claims
were paid as quickly as pass books
were presented.
In the Chicago National bank there
was no outward evidence OF a run,
although money was being drawn out
with great rapidly Many business
men who called were told that checks
for the amount of their balances
would be accepted as deposits at other
banks. and they departed with out
small depositors asked for their
money. and in every instance it was
handed to them at once.
It was announced at II o'clock that
Comptroller RidgIey would in a short
time issue a statement declaring that
the Walsh assets would be liquidated
and should cover the indebtedness. .
At the other banks of the city there
was no apparent excitement and no
/ evidence of a run on any Of them.

The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1905-04-14

One year ahead of time municipal politics
is being discussed, and that too, with
vengeance. Some one has wrung confess
sion out of Mayor Ballinger to the effect that,
as the chief executive of Seattle, he has had
plenty, more as plenty, more as he could
want, " and that under no circumstances will
he stand for denomination, and that he pro-
posed to stand aside for some good man. -
Mr. Ballinger has made a splendid executive
and, for the most part, it seemed that the
law-abding citizens were well pleased with
his official acts, but if this be true, and it is,
then the mayor for the year he has already
served must have had the devils own time
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1905-04-14

these combined against him, the chances of
success for him would be extremely doubtful
Mr. Cole has had more legislative experience
than any of the other names mentioned here
in and for that very reason would make an
efficient official but qualifications count for
nothing when the professional politicians
greedy grafters and franchise fends unite
even at this early stage of the game that Mr.
Cole will not be very much in the mayoralty
fight

Seattle, at any salary between that gotten

A number of names as SUCCESSORS to Mayor
Balinger have already appeared in print,
but none Of those mentioned will talk one
way or the other on the subject. Those whose
names have been mentioned are John Rip
linger, Irving T. Cole, H. c. Gill, Frank NJ.
Mullen and S. F. Rathbun
There is hardly any doubt but that if Rip
linger would let loose and make fight
for the nomination, he would get it hands
down, but Riplinger is being urged to remain
where he is, which he will probably do, more,
perhaps, to please his friends, who think he
need not hurry, than for himself. Then,
again, to be mayor Of Seattle is trying or
deal and it generally means political death
to him who gets it, and Riplinger is too pop
ular to blight all future political prospects
which now look so bright for him by ac-
cepting the mayOralty nomination.
Councilman Cole is good man; yet, so
good that the street mOngers say ''he is too
good to be mayor" He would have a strong
following in the resident portions of the city,
but would be very weak among the poiti-
clans, grafters and tenderloiners, and with

Many a young man, possess
ed of a desire for the higher ed
ucation, but apparently lacking
the means to attend a first rate
institution, either gives up his
college purpose entirely, or
allows himself to spend four of
the best years of his life in an
unworthy school. In order to
give such young men, rich in
mind and character, but limit
ed in means, an opportunity to
gain for themselves the finest
training and the largest culture
Western Reserve University
proposes to grant to two stud
ents of this county a scholar
ship of the value of one humid
red and twenty dollars for the
college course of four years.

|ceptional opportunities for self
supporting students in the
great city of Cleveland, makes
it possible for the young man
who has the proper preparation
to begin and complete success
fully a college course.
These scholarships will be
granted upon the basis of high
class standing and general mer-
it, as indicated in letters from
teachers and principals. APP
plications and papers should be
su omitted by the LIST of June,

where you were from the de-
scription. After all the trips
had been read, the judges,
