THE SPEAKERSHIP.

The followers of J. N Slayden are jubiant over the
prospects Of their candidate for speaker Mr.. Sayden
has made quiet dgned and truthful campaign for this
honor he has made wild promises as to commteeshps
neither has he made any entanglng alliance with any
faction or crowd He has made promises to the Anti
Saloon League neither has he held out any inducements
to the Royal Arch Mr. Sayden very properly considers
that all questions coming up to the Legislature should be
handled by that body without the interference of speak
er and he certainly does not intend to drag these ques
tons into the speakership fight
Again Mr. Slayden appears to be the best fitted man
for The place. He is business man, being the president
of of the largest manufacturing in the West
The finished product of Mr. Slaydens factory he North
western Wooden Ware Company finds a ready market
in Denver, OMAHA Kansas City and all points between
Tacoma and the Missouri river. business is GER
ainy more fitted to preside body of business
than who has had practical business training The
fact that all Of the older members favor Mr. Slayden
speaks volumes in his favor, and the fact that King
county could not swpe all the Offices from him helping
Slayden lot
1t is generally believed that Meigs has promised King
county the chief clerEshp of the House. This is consd
cred the important place in the entire House Lorn
Grnstead was assistant clerk at the last session. while
Megs chief clerk generally supposed that Megs
has promised this place to his old assistant but Grnsead
is to have fight Will Lysons too is out for the
job AS this is speakers appointment it is reasonably
safe to say that Sayden will his chief clerk
and in that event we would tout Lysons favorite
providing that King county is to have this fat billet
The question being asked by all the old members is
King county is to get all the places where do the little
counties in, sometimes referred to the
ties If Megs has promised King county eleven chair

WOOD TARIFF REVISION.
Furniture Men Want 4 General
Reduction at Once.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-As the
agricultural schedule of the tariff was
disposed of by the committee on ways
and means Of the House at a lengthy
session yesterday the work of consid-
ering possible changes in the tariff on
wood and manufactures of wood was
taken up today.
ANnumber of lumbermen from the
Northwest want the tariff on timber
taken off, and w. H. Parrish. of Rich
mond, Va, wants cedar admitted free
of duty. The National Association of
Furniture Manufacturers has declared
that there should be immediate reduc-
ton on certain tariff rates which they
claim have enabled a few beneficiarles
TO combine and destroy competition.
This association which represents 800
manufacturers, having an annual out
put Of about $40. 900, 900 worth of furni-
ture, also has gone on record in favor
Of a maximum and minimum tariff law
