The Seattle Republican., 1908-07-24

County Auditor Agnew evil
IDENTIFY did not think the Afro
Americans of King county paid
any taxes, and he therefore saw
to it that neithrer of the pap
ers published in the county
by men of that class be
given a copy of the Notice to
Tax Payers, for insertion, al
though he senr it to every other
newspaper office in the county.
Jim Agnew is a candidate for
the Republican nomination for
sheriff and if a single Afro-Amer-
ican in the county gives him a
vote or does not try to prevent
others from voting for him
then such person has not a
single spark of manhood in him.
One of the clerks at the court
house who was a subscriber to
THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN was
not pleased at the course pur-
sued by the paper so far as fight
ing the court house ring is con-
cerned, and therefore ordered the
copy sent to him discontinued.
One can hardly blame this modest
clerk from taking exceptions at
an institution that is trying to
take his bread and meat away
from him, using his own langu-
age, but since that clerk has
been holding down a similar jot
in the King county court house
for the past fifteen years it seems
that by this time he would have
made money enough to buy {
sufficient amount of bread anC
meat to last him the balance o.
his life. Do not be a hog neigh
Dor.
The Seattle Republican., 1908-07-24

DIR. Charles E. Hoye, one of
the aspirants for the nomination
for sheriff on the Republican
ticket, has just returned from a
trip in the country and says
things are looking very f1atter-
ing for him. Things in the city
are looking no less fattering than
in the country and he believes
that he will receive warm sup
port in every ward and precinct
in the city.
II do not care how badly Sen
ator Ankeny did, his friends are
going to elect him to succeed
himself just the same" came
from we'll known politician one
day this week, and it reminded
the Pie-maker of an incident that
happened in 1896 when the Pop
ulists swept the political field in
this state. One of the Pop coun-
ty nominees was arrested before
the election came off and was
convicted of the crime for which
he was arrested, and the cam
paign manager sent out circulars
asking that he be not voted for,
but he was elected Just the same.
Lieutenant Governor Charles
E. Coon passed through the city
last Monday returning from Van
couver where he was by invita-
tion guest of the State Press
Association. 1--WE had a great
time and the gang seemed tc
enjoy themselves beyond ex
preston. I have no fears as tx
the outcome of the lieutenan
governor fight among the Repub
licans as l am certain of being
nominated"
The Seattle Republican., 1908-07-24
SECOND CHOICE PROVISION

One OF the elements OF WASH
ington't new direct primary law
which is not wholly understood
by the majority of voters and
which is very likely to have an
important bearing in the forth
coming election is the feature
which takes into account the ex-
preston of the will of the voter
regarding a second choice, where
there are four or more candl-
dates for congress or any state
office. In an address before the
Washington State Press Assocla-
ton, now in session at Vancouv-
er, Assistant Attorney Knicker-
booker spoke as follows regard
ing this section:
"A considerable number of our
citizens are strongly opposed to
this provision. The reason,
however, for its being incorpor-
ated into our direct primary law
is not hard to understand. One
of the strongest objections urged
against the direct pri nary laws
of other states is that they per-
nit, in cases where there are
several candidates for the same
j, office, the nomination of a candi-
date who is the first choice of a
small minority and who would
not be even the second choice
candidate by any considerate
number of the majority. Under
the old convention system, in a
case where there are several can
didates for the same Office and
no one receives majority of the
total number of votes cast upon
the first ballot, successive ballots
are taken until the minds Of a
majority of the delegates meet
upon some person as being can
didate acceptable to the major
ity. For obvious reasons it is
impractical to hold but one di-
rect primary election prior to
each general election.
The theory of the second
choice is that each elector when
voting for candidate for norhin-
alton for a state or congressional
office in a case where there are
four or more candidates for that
particular office, will vote for
his favorite candidate for first
choice, and will vote for that
candidate for second choice when
he considers the next best fitted
and qualified for the office. Good
citizenship damands that electors
so vote. Were it not that it
is made compulsory to vote for
one candidate for first choice and
another candidate for second
choice, in case where there are
four or more candidates for the
same state or congressional office,
very few would exercise the
privilege of voting a second
choice for fear of killing their
first choice votes. Dummy
candidates may be induced to
file declarations of candidacy;
men who have no strength and
who are generally considered as
possessing no qualifications for
public Office, for the sale and only
purpose of having printed upon
the official ballots the names of
persons who stand no show of
being nominated and to whom
second choice votes can be safely
sloughed. Any effort of this
kind ought to be vigorously op-
posed by every newspaper in
this state. The success of such
a scheme would prove that the
second choice provision of our di-
rect primary law is an absolute
failure that the vote of one
schemer is far more potent than
that of one conscientious elector.
The Seattle Republican., 1908-07-24
POLITICS AND THE POLITICIANS

a ghost of a chance for William
Jennings Bryan, the peerless
one, to win in the coming presi-
Dental contest is trying to fool
himself, and in so doing hopes to
fool sufficient number of other
folk to influence the results of
the battle that will be pulled off
all over this country next No
vember between the Republicans
and Democrats. That Mr.. Bryan
will carry the most, if not all of
the South, goes without saying,
and that he will lose every Nor
thern state and perhaps some of
the border states, further goes
without saying. The Bryan de-
votees base their speculations
and predictions of Bryan being
elected on the alleged hostility of
the Northern Negroes to Taft on
account of the Roosevelt policies
in the Brownsville affair, which
is another case of them trying to
fool themselves. How on earth
can a sane Negro vote for Bryan
and the Democratic party when
the whole bunch of them are on
record of not only disfran-
chising the Negroes in the South
ern states, but desiring to like
wise do so all over the country,
even in the very heart of the
North, whose voters made
citizens of them. That the
Republican party has not done
all it could have done for
the Negro, we admit, but what
has the Democratic party done
for him? Not only what has it
done, bu t what has it promis-
ed to do for him aside from re-
ducing him to a practical peaon
throughout the United States?
Show one word or promise for
bettering the Negroes condition
that the Democrats either in con-
vention assembled or by it's pres
idential candidate, on which the
Negro can hang hope, and if
you do, then the Negro should
vote for Mr.. Bryan. The Dem
ocrats will not carry any of the
Northern states on account of
the Negroes leaving the Repub-
lican party and going over to
them.
Amid the great number Of as
pirants who are seeking the Re-
publican nomination for county
commissioners surely some two
of the number can be found who
will give the county business
like administration. For the first
district those who have already
filed are: Charles Rockingham,
George F. Zimmerman, A. B.
Ball, Alexander Anderson. ]. c.
Redward, A. F. Haas, Elmer F.
Conner.
Wilson R. Gay, who holds first
place on the ticket for superior
court judge, wrote to each of the
other aspirants and suggested
that the names of the various
candidates be filed in alphabetical
order, but to this the six candi-
dates endorsed by the bar made
no reply. Mr.. Gay made it plain
to them that he did not want any
advantage, if advantage it was
to head the list, and had his pro
position been accepted he would
have been fourth on the list. Of
course six judges will be select
ed and it is next to impossible,
intact is impossible, for any one
to- say who the successful ones
will be, but judging from the
general popularity of the men
there is hardly any doubt but
that Gay will be one of the num-
ber.
The Seattle Republican., 1908-07-24


iff of King county are of recent
conversion to Republican princi-
pies and both of them have held
an office ever since they have
been Republicans. Jim Agnew
was appointed to a Republican
clerkship before he had ever de-
clared his intention to affiliate
with the Republican party and
has twice been elected to pub
lie office before letting go Of
the public teat. Bob Hodges has
only been a Republican since
Lou Smith was elected sheriff.
Before that time he was a rabid
Democrat and held a deputyship
under Sheriff Cudihee the four
years he was in Office. Now
what the Pie-maker wishes to
get out of this is that the Repub-
licans should manage to elect
Republicans to their responsible
positions and cut loose from rene
.gade Democrats of the stripe of
Agnew and Hodges.
E. C. Brier, deputy county
auditor, is a candidate for county
auditor. Those who remember
the outrageous misuse of the tax
payers money in the ballot
printing scandal by the present
county auditor. James P. Agnew,
will probably vote to leave the
latter out where he cannot do
such dirty work. The Ripling-
ers, Agnews and others of their
ilk should be kept out of public
office. Trade Register.
DR.. Brier is but another link in
that court house endless chain,
which takes Jack to my shop and
me to Jacks, which endless chain
should come to an abrupt end
under the direct primary law.
Samuel G. Cosgrove, who some
time ago opened up permanent
headquarters in Seattle, speaks
Just as confidently of the out
come of the gubernatorial con-
test as to who will receive the
Republican nomination as the
four other gentlemen seeking
that nomination. There is
is simly nothing to it, | am as
sure of receiving the nomination
as if had it now,'' came from
him one day this week. Two
hours later Colonel Ridpath used
practically the same language as
to his chances of receiving the
Republican nomination. Evi-
dently some one is being badly
deceived in the primary contest.
Speaking about the office of
county commissioner and those
seeking the Republican nomina-
ton, the Pie-maker is reminded
that J. C. Redward has filed his
declaration of candidacy, and it
can be said of him and said with
out fear of successful contra
diction, that he is one of the
most straightforward and up
right men in the whole country.
He is a building contractor and
of course has had wide expert
ence with both the laboring men
and the men with means who
. have buildings erected. He has
been in the business in Seattle
since 1882 and for the most part
always engaged. During all that
, time he has had no trouble with
,, either those who labored for
him nor with those for whom he
: employed labor. He is a man
, with an unblemished reputation
o and it is truly believed that when
: the votes will have been counted
q it will be found that the people
> will have borne in mind his
i splendid reputation as well as
f his unselfish business dealings
= with his fellow men and vote ac-
cordingly.
The Seattle Republican., 1908-07-24

Taft will soon tell the commit
tee whether or not he will accept
the Republican nomination.

CANDIDATE FOR SENATORSHlP
OPENS HEADQUARTERS IN
DIES MONIES.

Des Molnes. Oct. 2.-The opening Of
Lacey senatorial headquarters in Des
Moines today is regarded by poll
ttcans here to indicate a decidedly
strenuous campaign for senatorship the
last month before the primaries. The
past fortnight has lost sight of the
senatorial fight because Of ats tour
through the west and the increasing
interest in the presidential campaign.
1t is stated that while Major Lacey's
campaign will be directed from his
home at Oskaloosa, the literature and
political correspondence will be sent
out from his headquarters here.
Gov Cummins will devote almost
the entire month to speech making in
Iowa. He will speak in Indiana and
Ohio, from October II to II and has
two dates with Taft, one at Lincoln
and the other at Sedalia, Mo. The re-
mainder Of the month will see him
in Iowa cities and towns.
While friends of the governor and
Major Lacey suggested joint debate
politicians opposed 1t because Of the
fact that a national campaign Is on.
