tional staff. ". M. Scott Of Atlanta,

KING COUNTY POLITICS

There is nothing doing in local politics
is the consensus of opinion among those
who do politics for a business. The boys
are waiting for Senator Sam Piles to come
home that they may consult his wishes in
selecting men to support for the various
nominations for county offices. While the
famous south district has decided to sup
port Pete Smith for sheriff, yet he will not
be candidate if Senator Piles does not en-
dorse him, so comes the report. Jim Ag-
new who thinks he has an immortal cinch
on the nomination is laying low but has
given it out that if Senator Piles decides
against him. he will run in spite of his pro-
tests. DR.. Hoye is keeping his own coun-
Gil, but is candidate for sheriff and his
friends say he will not pull out. Charley
Phillips is working away without giving
the Piles side of the house much consider
alton. He seems to be of the opinion that,
the senator has troubles of his own. Jack
Stringer is likewise saving wood and let
ting the other fellows do the rag chewing.

been deservedly honored by his party.
The Seattle Republican., 1908-06-05
POLITICAL POT PIE

Lee "A. Johnson, Twice el0CCeu 10 Cne
legislature from Yakima county, and
leading business man of the Sunnyside dis
trict, has announced that he will make
fight to succeed the Hon. Wesley L. Jones
in the house of representatives in the con-
gress of the United States. Mr.. Johnson
was one of the leaders of the house in both
the ninth and tenth legislatures and was
recognized by all of the members as an able
and eloquent debater. Representing as he
did the anti-drink side of the legislature he
of course did not train with majority
of the members Of the house of represent
atives, but despite that, he succeeded in
pulling as much out of the legislature for
his constituents and for the general public
welfare as any other member of the body.
His local option bill was bitterly opposed
by many of the members of the body and
in fact was twice defeated, nevertheless as
soon as that measure was laid aside he
ranked high on all other propositions and
whenever Lee Johnson rose to speak on
any subject every body sat up and took
notice. The manner in which he engineer
ed the irrigation bill which resulted in the
federal government taking hold of the irri-
eating ditch that feeds thousands and per-
haps millions of acres in the Yakima val
ley showed the sagacity of the man as
legislator, and that of itself should land
him in congress under the direct primary
system. It does not matter which side
of the ditch one comes, just SO he has the
stuff in him to make good representative
and the chances are that ne will be endors
ed by the people," said well known poll
tician one day this week in talking about
MIR. Johnsons announcement. Il mean
by that, that the mere fact that Jones is
candidate for the senate and Mr.. Johnson
for the house of representative for congress
and both practically from the same county,
the voters will not stop to consider, nor
will it hurt the chances of Mr.. Jones being
elected to the United States senate, which,
in my opinion, cannot be stopped at this
time by anything save an old fashioned cy-
clone"
Who will succeed the Hon. Wesley L.
Jones in the house Of representative of con-
gress seems to be something of puzzle
labor under the opinion that, they have
been called for the arduous duty. Those
who have announced themselves for the
nomination are Thomas D. Rockwell Harry
Rosenhaupt and w. H. Ludden, Miles
Poindexter, Spokane; Lee A. johnson, Sun
nyside; H. M. Boone, Colfax; M E. Field,
Chelan; DR.. M. Pretryzki, Dayton.
w. H. Ludden has been more or less
prominent in the political world of this Sec
tion since the admission of the territory in
to the union. He was member of the
third legislature in the house and since
then has served four years in the United
States land office at Spokane. He is said
to be an Ankeny booster and is being
pushed by the Ankenyites.
Rockwell is now member of the state
tax commission and is said to be one of the
best campaigners in the state. He lead
the fOht in Eastern WaShinpton in the
The Seattle Republican., 1908-06-05

The nomination for prosecuting attor-
ney promises to be mad scramble. George
Vandeveer, chief deputy in that office at
present, seems to be the leading candidate
at this writing, not because more persons
have spoken favorably of his nomination
than any of the others, but because he has
made more fuss about it than any one else.
There was banquet at one of the grill
rooms last Saturday, to which the "400''
was invited and they formed a club and
promised each other to go down the line for
Vandeveer. Frank S. Griffith is also can
didate and being an old timer in the county
is moving heaven and earth to convince
the voters that he is the best man for the
place. Frank B. Sayre is also candidate
and he thinks his opportunities for getting
the nomination are golden. Frank is a
leading secret society man and is an old
government employe and has many friends.
Former State Senator O. A. Tucker is
something of a candidate though he does
not seem quite certain of it at this time
Tucker has host of friends, but it occurs
to the Pie-maker that he hurt his chances
in the part he played in the late county and
state conventions. Mr.. Tucker, it is said,
showed signs of wanting to continue the
factionalism in the Republican party of this
county, which was wholly uncalled for and
may initiate against him. There is room
for others on this seat.

Harry Rosenhaupt besides being one of

member of the sixth and seventh legisla-
ture in the house and is at present state
senator, having served half of his term.
H. M. Boone has served two terms in
the senate being member of the ninth and
tenth legislatures. He is very popular IN
Whitman and the adjoining counties
and it is claimed by his friends that,
he will make hard fight for the honor.
M E. Fields, who halls from Chelan
county is exceedingly popular in that neck
of the woods and thinks he will be able to
swing the vote of Chelan, Okanogan,
Douglas and Ferry counties for his candi-
dacy and not make bad showing in the
other counties of the district. He was a
member of the legislature in the house and
made fine record.
J. D. Bassett, who made such splen-
did record in Olympia as legislator in the
ninth and tenth legislatures, has announc-
ed that he will seek the Republican nomin-
alton for Joint senator from the eleventh
senatorial district. Mr. Bassett is resi-
dent of Ritzville, the county seat of Adams
county, and has already received the en-
dorsement of his county for the nomina-
ton. The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN desires
to say to the voters of the eleventh senate
rial district that, they could not find bet
ter man for the position in the entire dis
trict than he, and from result standpoint
not one half so good, as he has had the leg
islative experience and acquaintanceship
among the legislators. No man at Olym-
pia among the legislators stood higher in
the observing public than J. D. Bassett,
and if that district wishes results from the
the next two legislatures it would do well
to nominate and elect him to the legislat-
ure from the eleventh senatorial district

Thomas A. Parish, the county assessor.
is still without apparent opposition although
there are many rumors afoat that he will
meet with bitter opposition in the prim-
aries. The business men of the city almost
to man seem to be against the renomina-
ton of Mr. Parish, and some of them are
so outspoken against him that they declare
that if he is nominated they will work
against hs reelection.
The Seattle Republican., 1908-06-05

A third candidate has not come forward
to contest the place for the nomination for
county auditor, which leaves the fight still
between Case and Brier, neither of whom
is wholly acceptable to the voters. 1t is
hoped that some popular man will announce
himself for the place and if he does he
will go through like chain lightning.

an office attache in the King county court
house for the past twelve years and there

said was given dirty deal when kicked
out of the office and Sickles given his place,
