''Think about yourself" the message
OF Paul is. 'Ihink about somebody

the usher's life miserable BY insisting
on being shown to the very best pew

was drunkard. He was blasphemous.

Here is the way a Kansas editor
commented on recent election in
his fie Id of righteous endeavor:
''Now the spring election is over.
and the victors are in clover. and the
men who get the cleaver stand around
and chew the rag; treason has been
trampled under, and the country's
safe as thunder. and we're all a-yell-
ing glory underneath the flag. AS
was everywhere expected. Humpty
Doodle is elected. and he guards the
peoples welfare just as though 1T
were his own and he'll work by easy
stages and he'll draw his blooming
wages. and he'll plan for his election
when his present term has flown.
And the easy marks who hustled. and
the cheerful chumps who rustIed. in
behalf of Humpty Doodle get their
labor for their pains for we grind the
statesmen's axes. when we're not
a-paying taxes. showing that we foolish
voters have more loyalty than
brains.

which he was one of the chief instiga-
tors and promoters.
Now as to DR.. Harrison. Although
his brother was one of the most active
Shultz workers two years ago and was
waited into Office on the Independent
wave, the doctor took no part what
ever in the factional strife. which he
greatly deplored. He had been alb
sent from the county for several years
and was not here "during the war. !"
He has served as a member Of the
state Gel trail CONN itee for this coun-
ty, has been president of the Seattle
board of health, has lsrge personal
acquaintance among the most influen-
tial Republicans of the chief city of
the state and is an intimate personal
friend of Senator Piles and his
staunchest supporters. He is quite a
large property owner in the county,
is public spirited. cordial in his
manner and has many friends in both
factions of the Republican party whose
Individual animosities or ambitions
should not be permitted to destroy the
county's political influence or check

cheerfully do as much for any reput-
able citizen of the county in whose
behalf as much can be said in the same

THE LEGISLATIVE NOMINATION

Since the publication of the item in
the Islander last week stating that
@. B. Buxton, of East Sound. had
confirmed the report that he would
be candidate at the direct primary
this fall for the Republican nomlna-
ton for representative in the legisla-
ture, the name of another we'll known
East Sound citizen. DR.. {. M. Harri-
son, has been frequently and favorably
heard in the same connection. 1t
does not appear. however. that the
doctor has authorized anyone to
announce his candidacy, or even
comm issioned anyone to feel of the
public pulse in his behalf. 1t is
possible, however. that he might be
prevailed upon to engage in friendly
contest for the legislative nomination.
but the islander doubts very much if
he will give his consent ur less assured
'sbeyond reasonable doubt" that he
will not be made the storm center
for such factional fight as was waged
over the same Office two years ago.
It is to be hoped that such
regrettable embroglio as that was may
! be avoided and it seems to the Islander
that this can best be done by elimina-
ting. so far as possible. as political
factors in this years contests. the
men who we're responsible for the
troubles of the last campaign. The
editor expresses this opinion with
malice toward none and charity tor
all, " and in so DUNG wishes it to be
understood that he does NOT presume
to speak for. anyone else. He is alone
responsible for the editorial opinions
in this paper.
The application of such rule of
elimination would unauestionably bar
Mr.. Buxton from the legislative race.
for he was one of the very few men
whose urgent inslstence persuaded
Mr.. Shultz to lead the Republican re-
volt of two years ago and head an
independent ticket. There were only
few principals in that political crime
although there we're a good many
accessories after the fact.'' Mr..
Buxton was one of the principals. A
majority of the electors of the county,
including Democrats and Socialists,
followed the banner which he waved
80 enthusiastically in the last cam
paign. If majority of protesting
Republicans feel that he should be
rewarded FOR his zeal in the work of
disruption in 1906 by the legislative
nomination this fall and so express
themselves at the September primary,
he will have the Islanders support.
for the editor and publisher is firm
believer in majority rule and has
never fought a candidate of his party
regularly and = properly nominated
We have no disposition to disparage
Mr.. Buxton's qualifications for legis-
lative honors. He is man of good
appearance and address. is active and
energetic. knows the needs of the
county and is sufficiently we'll fitted
by education and experience to make
an efficient representative. As to
whether his nomination would be adj
visable is matter concerning which
there may be honest differences Of
opinion. He was identified with the
literary bureau of the independent
