SERIOUS ILLNESS OF COsGROvE ALARMS
REPUBLICANS.

Continued ill-health of Hon. S. g. Cosgrove carr
dldate for governor has alarmed the republican
newspapers. They are issuing denials that any
serious complaint has taken hold of their nominee
The latest bulletin of that kind appears In this
mornings Post -lntelligencer. 1t is signed by DR..
John Gilbert who heralds himself Cosgrove ply
Slclan
Although attempting to encourage the republi-
readers of the P.-I, DR.. Gilbert admits that his
patient is not strOng[n fact, is in poor health.
He acknowledges that COsgrove is ''much worn
OUT DIR. Gilbert then tries to create favorable
impression by saying that the republican candidate
"has never been confined to his bed.'
AS has already been stated in The Times, there
certain incontrovertble facts deporable they
may be, in reference to Mr. Cosgrove. The voter
has right to know them. They

in advanced stage Dr. Gilbert does not deny
it. In that condition medicine will not help him.
(2) Cosgrcve was much debilitated early as
the republican state convention in Spokane last May.
Every delegate to that convention knows such to be
the truth
(3) Later Cosgrove became so badly used
up that he obliged to abandon his campaign at
the most critical moment and to leave his headquar
ters in Seattle ten days before the primaries Sep

nomination.

his democratic opponent, Pattison, and has let his
end of the campaign go completely by default.

place if COsgrove not, indeed, sick man?
co. Even if elected, which is extremely doubt
full, Cosgrove will not be able to act governor
1O) In that event the affairs of state would be
nominay entrusted tot M. b. Hay, lieutenant COVER
nor, but actually would be controlled by the Odous
Wilson gang whose servile and compaisant tool Hay
has repeatedly shown himself to be.
The foregoing summary contains the facts. Any
body can read them and grasp their import to this
state.
1t is up to the voters of Washington to take no
tice.
Will they vote for John Pattison, the upright
and able citizen of Colfax? Or will they vote to put
Hay the Wilson satellite, into the governor chair?
That is the question involved no matter to what
desperate measures the Wilson press may resort to
pull the wool over the eyes of the people.
If The Times understands the temper of the
voters Hon. John Pattison will be the next governor
His triumphant election would settle this question
to the best interests of all concerned Seattle Times,

day that the selection Of Secretary Of

the First Oneida district to the Republi-
can State convention at Saratoga was
made at the request and personal solici-
tatiOn Of President Roosevelt.
The President. it is said. was quite
anxious that Mr. Root should 90 TO the
convention from upstate instead Of from

and expressed this wish to Representative

tial candidate. when the latter was at
Oyster Bay a few weeks ago
At first it was planned that Mr.. Root
should head the delegation from the
Second Oneida district. but the First
district leaders. when they heard from
Oyster Bay, decided Immediately to get
busy. They did so. and placed Mr.. Roots
name at the top Of their list Of delegates.
