Matt Starvitch, the Ravensdale
DEPUTY sheriff, came down to the
city last Tuesday accompanied
by a number of unwilling guests
and repaired at once to Hotel
Smith. II am not talking poll
tics, but it looks as if DR.. Chas.
E. Hoye will be the next sheriff
of King comfy. He will at least
run we'll in the country and I am
told that he has a great many
friends in the city, which means
that he is almost certain of the
nomination.
Walter M. Oliver, the well
known Wenachee promoter, was
among those who visited Seattle
this week. q do not know
much of the political situation
even in my home town further
than that at least 90 per cent of
all the voters in that section of
the state are for Jones for sena-
tor. Yes, all of the gubernato-
rial candidates have more or less
strength over there, but perhaps
Governor Meade and Atkinson
are the strongest. / did not read
Mr.. Atkinson's Fourth of July
speech, but I am told that it was
hummer and was well re-
ceived. +"
Hon. John L. Wilson, who was
not expected home before July
10th, returned last Monday, but
was not accompanied by his
brother the Hon. Harry L. Will
son, as was expected. Harry
had to return to his post owing
to pressing business in which
the department of state was in
terested. Il feel certain that
Taft will be elected as the Dem
ocrats will have to carry all of
the states that Bryan carried be-
fore and few others. | learned
from a Democrat that they ex-
pected to carry Illinois and Wis
consin, which is no more prob
able than that they will carry
Washington. The Chicago con-
vention was a great affair, but
there was a noticeable absence
of the old party war horses
among the delegates. It's a
strong ticket, but I was of the
opinion, and am still, that Seth
Lowe, of New York, would have
added more strength to it than
will Sherman, BUTT will be elect
ed and what more. -
A. S. Taylor, the Everett bank
er, spent a short time in the city
this week and mixed quite freely
with the boys. Mr.. Taylor is
backing John Alexander Falcon
er for state senator to succeed
Tom Sumner as against Joe Irv-
ing, and thinks there is nothing
more to it except the shouting
for FalcOner.

still fresh IN the mlnQS OF many
of the voters, and for that reason
he will get a great many votes
and it is believed he holds third
place in the race, and yet he may
hold first as he and his friends
insist that he will. The exact
strength of John D. Atkinson is
unknown, but it is the concensus
of opinion that SO far as the first
choice vote is concerned he is
fourth in the race, which of
course leaves the fifth place for
w. M. Ridpath. Atkinson may
be a three or four time stronger
candidate than he has been given
credit for and may be among the
high men as has been predicted
by a we'll known politician in the
city.
Then, who will be governor ?
cannot be answered by man, but
if there is anything in the graded
strength of the candidates as in
dicated above, then the Pie
maker is not afraid to make a
few predictions. The votes of
Governor Mead and Henry Nc
Bride will all be first choice votes.
1t is not thought that either of
them will get enough second
choice votes for a corporal's
guard. Both of these men are
strong in the northwest and for
sake Of argument, let us predict
will break even in that section
with the odds slightly in Mead's
favor. Mcbride may lead Mead
in King county, while Mead will
score in the southwest; the odds
are in Mead's favor throughout
eastern Washington, barring
Walla Walla and Columbia coun-
ties, which owing to the Ankeny
influence will be for Mcbride.
Spokane and Whitman counties
are the battling grounds for the
two men with the odds slightly
in Mead's favor in Spokane, and
slightly in McBride's favor in
Whitman. Summing it all up it
looks to the Pie-maker that,
Mead is going to lead by good
safe plurality in the first choice
vote, but will he be able to get
the required 40 per cent of all the
Republican votes cast is the ques-
ton. The friends of both men
declare that they have no doubts
of each of them being able to do
80, but not being so wise as they,
the Pie-maker is going to say,
wait and see.
Samuel G. Cosgrove is really a
very strong man, and while he
has been given second place as a
first choice candidate, yet that is
very questionable to the Pie
maker. There is no doubt but
that he will get the votes of the
most of the friends of Mead for
second choice, and it is alleged
that a great many of the friends
of Mcbride will support him for
a scond choice candidate, but
there is nothing certain as to
that, for rumor has it that John
choice man. If neither Mead nor
Mcbride is successful in getting

POLITICS AND THE POLITICIANS

the necessary 40 per cent Of the
D. Atkinson will get the most of
the Mcbride vote as a second
Republican votes cast, and if
Cosgrove is as strong a first
choice getter as he thinks he is,
and if he gets the Mead strength
as second choice candidate, then
it seems that his nomination is a
foregone conclusion. On the
other hand if Atkinson forges to
the front with that unknown
strength with which it is said
lies in hiding for him and abiding
it's opportunity to make a ten
strike out for him, and if he gets
the Mcbride second choice
strength, then it is question
whether it will be Cosgrove or
Atkinson that will be nominated
as the second choice candidate.
1t has been rumored about the
streets of Seattle this week that
the Ankeny forces are contem-
plating a switch from Mcbride
to Atkinson, believing that At
kinson is the most available man,
this however, would weaken At
kinson in one way and strengthen
him in another.
Col. w. M. Ridpath has never
been in the race in the opinion of
the average voter and political
rag chewer. He will get some
first choice votes and may get
some second choice votes, but not
enough to set the Colone'ls red
badana on fire. For some reason
he as man and a politician,
attracts very little attention, and
that too despite the fact that he
is exceedingly wealthy, which is
rather remarkable, as wealthy
men in politics always create
more or less enthusiasm among
the political workers, and that
too, in many instances when the
wealthy man is without ability
or conscience; for example look
how much attention and space
the Seattle Daily Times gives to
Senator Ankeny.
For gentleman who is not a
candidate for the senate this
year, the Hon. Samuel H. Piles,
it strikes us, is taking on a lot of
political sail. In what harbor
does he expect to land with An
ney aboard his craft? Mr.. Piles
may think he is carrying politi-
cal freight, but ne is likely to dis
cover too late that he is packing
proftless ballast. = Brewster
Herald.
It is reported from Puget
Sound that Senator Ankeny is in
robust health. He can offer no
reasonable excuse, therefore, for
declining to meet Congressman
Jones in joint debate. By all
means let Ankeny's friends, if
they believe sincerely he is the
material of which United States
senators should be fashioned urge
him to take the political platform
with Jones. In fact, the people
have a right to expect Ankney
to make his appearance publicly
as candidate for their votes.

situation of Washington, 1t TO
say the least, is a most awkward
one, not only to the lay voter but
to even the politician. Who will
he governor, is often asked, and
even the wise ones as we'll as
those having a choice for COVER
nor after declaring to you that
this or that man will surely be
nominated, finally admits that
the whole thing is so high up in
the air that it is beyond the prog
nostication of any one. So far
as the politicians are concerned
the direct primary law has got
them all guessing. The man
who in the past did the politics
of the community in some back
room or some other place Of Sc
erection and then told the boys
who to whoop it up for, has no
more influence now than the ev-
cry day working man. In proof
eof this statement see how the
politicians tried to whip the vot-
,ers into line to support Ankeny
for United States senator on
some kind of an antiquated agree
ment and see how they are re-
:senting it. So Objectionable is
it to them that it is very ques-
tionable now if Senator Ankeny
will even make a decent showing
in King county at the September
primaries let lone carry the coun-
ty as has been promised, and all
because the people felt that the
oldtime political bosses were max
ing another effort to whip them
into supporting SO ne man they
the bosses, had as of yore met in
some fashionable club and agreed
upon. The people propose under
the new law to have a say in the
political line up, and the sooner
the bosses recognize the situa-
ton and go out of business the
better for all concerned.
hut it was the gubernatorial
situation that we set out to dis
cuss, which, as said above, is
rather awkward one. No new
candidates for the governorshir
have developed within the past
thirty days, and as published
some time ago those who will file
their declarations are Gov. AL
bert E. Mead, Samuel G. Cos
grove, Henry Mcbride, John D.
Atkinson and w. M. Ridpath.
So far as the old-fashion political
prognosticator can judge at lone
range the names are written ir
proportion to the respective
strength of the candidates. Ow-
ing to being governor, it is be-
lieved by great many persons
and in some instances by those
who are opposing him, that MeaC
will prove the strongest frs
choice candidate. In view of the
fact that Samuel G. Cosgrovt
has made such a persistent az
we'll as insistent campaign fol
the past year or more, he will
prove close second to Governor
Mead, and his friends declare
that he will even lead the COVER
nor. The fight made by Cover.

Came TO Billings About Nine Years
Ago From Observation-Disclosures on
Ranch West of the city-Funeral
Arrangements Not Completed.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Albert Beaudette. a well known and
respected citizen Of this community,
died at MS nome q mile ana a halt
west Of Billings at 4 o'clock yesterday
morning Of stomach trouble. Mr.
Beaudette has been in Ill health fol
the past year, but 1t has only been
for the last few weeks that he was
confined to his bed. He was 81 years
Of age at the time Of mis- death.
The deceased came to this city
with his family from Anaconda about
nine years ago. He was a stone cutter
by trade and was always a hard work
ing man. His industry and integrity
made him respected by every one
with whom he was acquainted, and
he has many friends in Billings who
will mourn his loss.
Several months ago Mr.. Beaudette
purchased q ranch west Of Billings
and since that time has been engaged
in farming.
Besides a wife, Mr.. Beaudette
leaves two daughter. Misses Mary
and Blanche; three sons, Phillip, Ru-
dolph and Daniel, and three brothers,

Funeral arrangements have moi
been completed, awaiting word from
