FRIDAY August 5, 1910

district the forty fourth representative. The two
senatorial candidates are saying that they mean to
keep hands off of the representative ENHANCEMENT
but it will hardly be possible for them tc do so and
when they do go to mixing it will be mixup that
you read about.
Frank B. Wrestling who has filed for the Republi-
can nomination for prosecuting attorney is moving on
in the even tenor of his way and not making quite as
much fuss about it as and ex-Democrat, Frank Crit
fifth but he seems to be gaining ground every day. An
ex-Democrat must always necessarily make good
deal of fuss when he comes into Republican camp,
in order that the fellows may know he has turned
over and turned over in order to get an office
Charles Rockingham has filed his declaration for
the Republican nomination of county commissioner OF
the first commissioners district and has begun to
make an active campaign Mr. Rockingham only lost
the nomination by small vote two years ago and he
believes that he can do better this time and hence his
filing. Up to date three have filed for that nomina-
ton, M J. Carrigan, David Mckenzie and Charles
Rockingham
H. R. Cayton has filed for the Republican nomina
ton for state senator of the district If
nominated and elected he will not go to Olympia as
one idea as would either of his opponents in case
he was nominated and elected. No district in the
state varied in it's constituency as the thrtysev-
enth and does not need radical to represent it in
the state senate on any subject and that is
Just what would happen to it if Palmer Jackson
should be nominated or elected The former is tied
up body and soul to INTERESTS with anti prohibition
as side ISSUE while the latter is tied up to an extent
to the interests with prohibition as side hobby.
Neither of those men broad minded enough to rep
resent district of the kind of the and
there doubt but what they will be elected to stay at
home
J. w. McConnaughey, who is seeking the nomina-
1Oht to- hic
Bill Hanna by an overwhelming majority for it is a
case of an upstart running against real man. Bill
Hanna has done nothing since he left school but fill
minor clerical positions in the county court house
the city hall and he has done that long that he has
to think that the county must provide for his
maintenance all through life while Mr. McConnaughey
is of the strong business of the city and can
give the county good business like administration of
the affairs in that office.
Claude Ramsey was the most popular man in the
King county delegation, when he member of the
legislature" said Frank H. Rennick, who is also
didate for senatorial honors, day this week. Il
am not mixing in that fight and expressing
opinion as to which of the should like to win,
but am speaking from personal experience. Should
he be nominated and elected he would from the very
outset take his place of the strong members of
the senate and be of much service to that BODY
State Senator Davis of Grant county spent couple
of days in the city this week the guest of the Airing
ton and speaking of the senatorial situation in his
home county said 'The fight in Grant county is be-
tween Wilson and Poindexter with the odds in Will
sons favor. Burke is not in it,
Dan Cross, who for many years was one of the
prominent attorneys of Seattle, is now resident of
Grant county and is located at Eprata I'VE have
good town and most excellent farming country all
around, and it looks good to me. In my opinion the
county is overwhelmingly for Wilson for United States
senator and those that not for Wilson for Pon
dexter Personally admire Judge Burke, but he has
not peep in so far as Grant county is concerned.
W. H. Clark has filed for the nomination of repre-
sentative from the forty representative district
Thus far five have filed tor the Republican nomina-
