only 1--WE Democratic votes recorded
against IT, They were cast BY Sims
(Tenn.): Sulzer. IN. W; Fitzgerald.
IN. W; SABBATH, (llls), and keroy'
(1nd.).
The increase of nearly si0.000OoO
In the expenditure this year is due
to the fact that two great pork bar.
rels' OF legislation were distributed
among the hungry statesmen. They
were the rivers and harbors bill, and
the public building bills. In the past
II has been customary TO open these
barrels on alternate years. but this
year the congressman wanted a feast

rying about s50.000.000. has been
awaiting the presidents signature for
some time. II has been reported that
he has thus far refrained from sign
ing to see how congress acted in the
closing days.
There has been a saving this year
of about s30,000.000 in ordinary APP

There is general feeling of mstrust as to the
ddacy of H. c. Gill for mayor because it is believed by
great many of the voters that he is likely to try to
make Seattle wide open town as it was in the palmy
days of Tom Humes. The Seattle Republican not in
clined to believe that any official of Seattle could bring
about any such state of affairs however willing he
might be to do So though it is than likely that,
Mr. Gill would fashion his administration after the ST.
monds administration of Portland Oregon. Whether
this better or worse for Seattle matter of opinion
and the weight of opinion seems to favor somewhat
liberal town. but by means the wide open town.
Neither Gill or Bouillon promise to make Sunday
school town out of Seattle and far the liberal ee
ment of the city is concerned the policies of the two
men will not differ very largely.
The Seattle Republican., 1910-01-14

purpose of putting Gill in better instead of worse
political light 1t has been bruted about the streets
for months and years that Gill has made fortune
by having been member of the city council. This
talk has become common and it was being used with
such telling effect that Gill at loss to know how
to counteract it, hence this tax story. 1t will not be
possible to keep Gills name off the ticket and Gill
knows it and so he is perfectly willing for his tax in
debtedness to the city to be given just much pub
city possible for it all shows that he has not made
the money that his enemies declare he has by being
member of the council.

At a resent election the city of Tacoma took in all
of the smaller towns from the county line between King
and Pierce the north to Tacoma and the south to
American Lake. thus giving Tacoma the largest of
any city on the Pacific Coast This done in order
to head of the electric company from charging higher
rate than five cents from Sumner to Tacoma, the pres
ent rate being nearly forty cents The rate of the cleo
trio line from laboring mans stand point may be- bit
too high but the five cent rate is
able than the companys rate and it will work greater
hardship in the end the laboring than the
cessve rate If the electric company is forced to haul
from Sumner for five cents then it ought to
surrender it's charter between Sumner and Tacoma

The voters of the Seventh ward may not have been
quite as considerate with Councilman Thomas P. Re-
vee as were the voters of the Second ward with Coun
Gilman Eugene W. Way as to nominating candidates,
but in the final results am inclined to think it will
amount to the same. mean by this that, the other
aspirants seeking the Republican nomination of coun
Gilman from the Seventh ward will get so few votes
that it will seem no one had been running except Re
velle came from one of the most active politicians in
the Seventh ward one day this week. Mr. Revele has
made most excellent councilman and there is no rea-
son why his nomination in the primaries could not be
made unanimous.

Candidate Gill says he would drive vice from the
upper part of the city and would also drive it into
district Il would run the :ity from business mans
stand point and foster every industry that would make
Seattle greater city than it is. Whatever would
be done as to the locating of restricted district would
be done in the open and the square. l refer the
voters to my record in the city council for the past ten
years as to what my record will be mayor of Seattle
for tie ensuing two years."

Some time ago there considerable talk about
submitting proposition to the voters of Seattle that
all of the councmen be nominated from at large and
thereby do away with ward councimen. There is no
doubt but that idea is becoming quite popular as may
be seen from those who are seeking the nominations
for the council In but few wards do the asprants
hevond the third degree while for the councilmen at
large there are some fifteen asprants In the wards it
is much easier for clique of politicians to run things
to suit itself while in the whole city such thing is ut
terly impossible By all means the councimen should
all be elected at large instead of by wards
The Seattle Republican., 1910-01-14

In the Eighth ward two old pioneers of Seattle
have filed for the Republican nomination of ward
cimen in the persons of Clarence B. Bagey and E. L.
Blaine Both of them the sons of pioneer preach
ers and both have lived for many years in the Eighth
ward Both are men of high moral standing in the
community and heavy property owners in the CITY,
Mr. Bagley has been empoye of the city as clerk OF
the board of public works for many years and Mr..
Blaine is one of the heavy stockholders in the Osborne
Tremper Abstract company. No men in the whole city
are better or more favoraby known than Bagley and
Blaine and they will, therefore, make remarkable
campaign But it does not matter which of them sue
ceeds the ward is bound to be we'll represented.

Nothing would come nearer purifying the political
atmosphere in the city council than the nomination and
election of good whole souled business who have
the tax payers interest at heart and for no greater
reason than that they themselves, tax payers If
the voters of Seattle will elect j. w Bullock to the city
council they will have in that body just such as
they want Few men, if any, in the city of Seattle
have better business training than Mr.. Bullock and
few men, if any, have at heart than he the growth
of the city, In the council he would do those things at
all times and under all circumstances that would redown
to the best good of the whole city, He is not ward
politician at the head of political organization, but he
is nain business man that thinks he can do for
the citv in the council than the other fellow. He is
frank fair and open in all his business dealings and for
that it is predicted he will make an ideal councilman

No member of the city council received the high
compliment from his constituents as did E. w Way of
the Second ward who is not opposed by either Repub

not politically swell his head and it is not believed that
it will and if it does not he is in line for greater pot
ca honors in the very future than that of ward
councilman.

overwhelming majority of the council favorrd him. He
is also candidate for the Republican nomination for

Registering for the city election is going on at a
lively rate but there plenty of clerks to register
many more each day have registered on any yet

last two or three days. Register today and avoid the
