A Most Unusual
Compliment N t

Ed. Delaney spent q few days Wis
iting friends in Seattle this week.
Ed is the candidate for sheriff ON the
Republican ticket, having been NOM
mated without his knowledge and in
spite of the fact that he has always
been a Democrat. His nominal tion
was fitting recognition of his es-
pecial fitness for the Office which he
has been asked to take and which he
did not in any sense seek. His bro
ther, the late Thos. Delaney, was for
many years one of the most efficient
men in the customs service of this dis
trict and was generally recognized as
the most efficient and popular chief OF
police which the city Of Seattle ever
had. Every true Democrat should
look upon his unsought nomination as
a most unusual compliment and should
give him their hearty support, as
every Republican should do who re-
cognizes the Importance of temper
ance, fearlessness, firmness and fair
ness in the sheriff's Office.
