Do the people of this state want the Interests to
send one of their paid attorneys to the United States
senate? Do you think, if you do, he will represent
one thing in which you are interested?
Do the common people want to send man TO the
United State senate who has been the local counsel
and legal advisor of the railroads for the past twenty
years? If you do do you think he will advocate sim
gle that will stop the railroad magnates from
robbing you of your every vested right?
Why should Republicans, because man has money,
swing in and elect lifelong Democrat to the highest
office in the gift of the voters of the state? When
and where did Burke ever declare he Republl-
can until the day he announced he a candidate for
the United States senate? and he might have added
in the common interest of the railroads and in the
other interests of the state of Washington in parcu-
lar and the country in general
Do the voters of King county and especially those
advocating the election of Thomas Burke the United
States senate believe the voters in the other counties
who on general principles opposed to eecting an
Interest man to the senate will sanction the election
of Burke? Do the Burke men of King county not re-
aze that Burke is not going to carry single county
in the state and that it will the utter defeat OF
King county having representative in the senate!
Do not let your enthusiasm to elect man that is a

WHO WANTS BURKE FOR SENATOR

Colonel Bethen, of course, because Judge Burke
has the kind of stuff at his command that always
makes Colonel Blethen want a man for a prominent
position:
The Interests of course, because Judge Burke has
served them so long and we'll they know he will be
thousand times more useful in the United States SEN
ate than he has been in the courts and that is saying
good deal;
The politicians, because they know they will have
things their way for the next six years with Burke IN
the senate Burke having been Democrat has been
given to understand that in he is nominated and
elected to the senate the politicians will do the select
ing of office holders and he lock after the interest
of the Interests
The grafters in general want Judge Thomas Burke
because if all reports be true he has proved an Easy
Mark for them and the CRATER is always for any one
right or wrong that has the money and will let go
Riley
But do any of those qualifications recommend him
to the real citizens of the county? Has COL Blethen
ever advoC doctrines that the rank and file of the
Republican party considered for the best interest
of the country? Has he not from time to time adj
vocated the election of the Democratic party and
thereby the passage of free trade bill by Congress-
which would destroy the Garner of this country?
Did he not advocate with blindness and dare dew

The Coored Citizens Club at its weekly meeting
last Tuesday evening endorsed the Hon. John L. Will
son for United States senator. In doing so It's mem
bers demonstrated that they for those men, VINO,
to an extent at least for them. The actions OF
the local club on the part of the Colored Citizens
should meet the approval of the 1000 colored voters
of the state and every of them should vote for
Senator Wilson, So far as they concerned and to
be thoroughly consistent with themselves, they have
no choice between the asprants for the senatorial
toga Their only alternative is to vote for Wilson,
even though he may have done nothing directly for
them.
Miles Poindexter, the insurgent candidate is Vir-
pinia Democrat of the old school, which of itself IS
sufficient cause for all Negroes to vote against him,
but in Congress he voted for Jim Grow car law for
Washington City, The act defeated, but it was
no fault of his On that in all others he
voted with the Democrats.
Judge Thomas Burke Well, he has nothing in the
world for black man to do, if he possibly find
Japanese that will half way do it. He will say nice
things about coored folk and yet never turn MS mana
over in their interest.
It was John E. HUMPHREYS that boasted of having
drawn the Client bill that was introduced in the egis
ature of this state, but which died bornlng. lie
should not get single vote from them.
But what has the Hon. John L. Wilson done9 you
ask Since the Post Inteigencer has been under the
control of Senator Wilson it has always been fair as
controlled the federal patronage of the state he
to # that his appointees named number of colored
men for positions in the service Postmaster George
M Stewart started the ball to rolling by placing
number of colored men in the postoffice which has
gone steadily on until the Seattle postofice now has
more coored employees than of all the other postoces
combined west of the Missouri river
Superintendent Wing followed in his wake by plac-
ing George Crosse Milton Roy and Frank Merguson in
in no
Clarence Ide kept man at the federal pententiary
the four years he there who drew as good sal
airy as the other employees
The postmaster of Tacoma, Major Hayden, gave
two coored places in that office at the suggestion
of Senator Wilson and the postmaster of Spokane
named one in his office
Senator Wilson was largely instrumental in the APP
pontment of R. B. Scoot, of Spokane, as Chinese in
spector of Eastern Washington, which position he
held for number of years.
