POLITICAL.

A successor to the late Francis W. Cush-
man in Congress is the only political ques-
ton that is agitating
Dead Mans Shoes the public mind Of
Very Much Wanted. the state of Washing
ton. For The past
four wears a number of statesmen from the
district represented by Mr.. Cushman have
had their weather eye on the job and hoped
something would turn up that would give
them an opportunity to make fight for the
place. While they are grieved to know that
it was the grim monster Death that finally
gave them the opportunity, nevertheless
since the opportunity is here they propose
TO make the best of it and make fight to
oo TO Congress. While State Senator A. S.
Ruth has not publicly announced that ne
would be candidate for the nomination, yet
it is the concensus of opinion that he will be,
and if he does he will make an interesting
scrap for it. Aside from his own personal
strength. which is considerable he will be
backed by the liquor interest of the district,
and the two combined will make him one
oe the hardest men to defeat of any OF the
aspirants Judging from the past Ruth Will
have Thurston county practically solid and
will make heavy inroads on the Pierce county
vote. If his friends can deliver to him from
the southwest, then he will have the oppof-
tunity Of his life to step into Congress.
Ruth would make an aggressive member OF
Congress and would do things from the very
day he got there for the state of Washing
ton. While he has his political enemies, yet
those enemies do not doubt but that ne
would be a live one in the house of rep
resentatives and get the goods for the North
