DEPOSITS FROM $tOO UP TAKEN.

How much can the American ma
tion save. by wearing its old clothes
this year? asks the New York Even
ing Post. The report of the Census
Of Manufactures for 1905 shows that
the factory product of mems cloth
Ing for the year was valued at $685.
796,571. One-third of this, or con-
siderably less than one-third on the
basis Of retail prices, would more
than equal the entire balance of trade
in this country's favor for the month
of December.

CANDIDATE FROM WHITMAN COUNTY
2. n. Kipp Enters the Lists for the NOmlna-
tiOn for Attorney General

Mr.. R. H. Kipp, prosecuting attorney
for Whitman county, has announced that
he will be candidate at the coming prim-
aries for the office of attorney general.
Mr.. Kipp was born in Iowa in 1876, and for
twenty-one years of his thirty-two he has
been a resident of Lincoln, Spokane and
Whitman counties, being almost equally
well and favorably known to all three.
He is now serving his fourth year as prose-
cutting attorney for Whitman county, and
is the only prosecuting attorney to be re-
elected to that office in the history of the
county.
The Seattle Republican., 1908-05-01

Mr.. Kipp is the only candidate for
state office from Whitman county, whose
commercial and political Importance, backed
by Mr.. Kipp's legal and executive ability,
should in the opinion of his many friends
and supporters, carry sufficient weight at
the primaries to easily make him the Re
publican nominee for attorney general.
He has an extended acquaintance IN East
ern Washington and large following on
the west side, and in the event OF his cleo
ton the state could be assured of thor
oroughly business-like and economical ad-
ministration of its legal business.
And now comes the wise one, who de-
clares that, the mysterious person, who IS
skulking around over the state buying up
newspapers and Immediately converting
them into rabid Ankeny sheets; and, who
is also supplying the Times with the Ank-
env benevolent dope, is none other than
Horace Mcclure, who was induced by Ser
ator Ankeny to give up most lucrative po-
sition at Washington d. G. to come back
to this state to act as his press agent. 1t
is said that this same Horace Mcclure has
been having w. A. Carle in tow for some
time. with view of landing both himself
and his paper in support of Senator Ank-
env. in which he has been eminently sue
cessful On general principles the Times
is political guerilla and in Horace Mcclure
it has most excellent advance agent. All
of those letters which appear in the Times
from time to time as to the wonderful
amount of benevolent charity Levi
Ankeny has been burdened with for
all these years, are manufactured in the
rather versatile brain of Horace Mcclure
az he cits ar his mahogany desk in Seattle
for the salary that there is in it for him.
The Seattle Republican., 1908-05-01

And now comes a rather enthusiastic
Republican, who was Miller man in the
late municipal contest and says he is for the
Hon. William Pitt Trimble for one of the
the presidential electors. He made nice
fight for the nomination of mayor and was
beaten on account of being supported by
the Times and it would be nice thing for
the Republicans to do to pay him that hon
or for the fight he made.
The Seattle Republican., 1908-05-01

J. Hamilton Lewis, former congress.
Chicago, would like to be governor of Illi-
inois. He has novel plan of conducting
primaries and elections. He would have
no primaries, as such, but would combine
election and primary, let the voters name
their men and the persons receiving the
highest number of votes at any regular
election would be declared elected to office.
It would certainly do away with lot of red
tape and might put few million political
workers out of business. Colorado Springs

The Seattle Republican., 1908-05-01

Indications point to the nomination of
S. c. Cosgrove for governor at the coming
primaries. Mr. Cosgrove is not candi-
date of the railroads, the corporations or
any other tainted outfit and if he gets the
nomination it will be by the vote of those
citizens who want vigor and honesty in the
executive chair Mead was placed in NOM
ination four years ago by corporate inf1u-
ences which he was restrained in some de-
gree from serving by strong public senti-
ment. The corporations therefore, don't
want him, and Lord knows, the people
don't AS for Mr.. Mcbride, he once had
the loyal support of the people of Eastern
Washington until he played into the hands
of the railroad companies in the nomina-
ton of Mead for governor while pretend
Bride will not know that he has been in
race in Eastern Washington when the votes
are counted Columbia Dispatch.
Speaking about Senator Wilson going to
Spokane as chairman of the King county
delegation recalls to the writer few re-
marks he himself made on the subject at
a luncheon one day last week. II want to
see the county convention name 1872 dele
gates who will go to the state convention
who will make showing. do not think
it wise or polite to select number of del
egates to the convention just for political
pap's sake, none of whom will think of
making the actual trip to Spokane, but Sc
lect such men, who, when the convention
is called to order, will be in their seats
on the convention floor and work for the
best interests of King county"
The open advocacy of r. A. Ballinger
as one Of the delegates at large by the
Swillbarrel is done for no other purpose
than it believes Senator Wilson also favor
ed Judge Ballinger, and if it got in and
whooped it up for him for once it would ap-
pear to the public the Times had won a
point How hard the Colonel tried to be
somebody, and how hard he is turned
down, which enough to drive him to drink.

WHY THE EAST is FOR BRYAN

Several reasons may be offered,
each potent in its way, for the be-
lief that the East will give Bryan
greater support this year than in any
previous campaign. The strongest
argument, however, may be found
in financial conditions.
The West did not feel the pinch Of
the 1907 panic so keenly as did the
people OF the East. Here we had
good crops and large flocks and
herds. We felt the panic only while
prices on live stock were on the
down grade. In the East, the fac

President Roosevelt admits that
he approved of the deal whereby
the Steel Trust absorbed the Ten.

clares that it was a perfectly le-
gltimate transaction. This unan-

fronts him; If it was a perfectly
legal transactian, why did the Steel
Trust seek and obtain his consent
for them to monopolize the business
of that company Mr.. Taft, his
