The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1910-09-23
FRIDAY September %, 1910

G. Jackson over Edward B. Palmer who made his
boast few days prior to the election that ne would
win in walk Palmer defeated purely on his
record The editor of The Seattle Republican has
been warmly congratulated by full five hundred diff
ferent persons for its work in the Jackson Palmer
contest.
John A. Whaley was defeated by an almost I'M
known. In the beginning of the campaign Whalley
treated his opponent as a huge joke but his friends
finally warned him of danger but not in time for him
to stem the tide Some very crooked work is reported
as having transpred in the Whalley- McAvoy election
count and is limited that Whaey is looking into it
very carefully and at the time keeping his own
counsel.
The state senators from King county to the next
legislature if all of the Republican nominees are elect
ed and they will be, will be B. A. Bowen, Ralph d.
Nichols Daniel Landon, Plinney L. Allen, George u
Piper. Josiah Collins. c. E. McAvoy and Frank c.
Jackson. There will hardly be single slip made al
though the friends of George F. Cotterr believe he
will defeat Dan Landon. Charles G. Heifner will
make hard fight to defeat Piper, and may succeed.
George u Piper who voted for Schvely in the
impeachment trial won but it required all the talent
and chcanery that both he and the Canceys could get
together to win and his opponent Claude Z. Ramsey,
is by no means satisfied with the vote and may take
his case to the court for final adjudication and it is
limited that Whalley may do likewise. Ralph ID.
Nichols made hard fight and won, but his winning,
according to local paper, due to the fact that
Dan Earle was thrown into the fight in the interest of
Nichols and Earle drew directly from Norris War is
being threatened on Nichols and he may yet ose
When Frank H Renick was counted down and out
it was the surprise of the election 1t was generally
coniidered that he impregnabe but it was not So
Renicks record good and there no excuse for
him being beaten save that the forces got to scrappng
among themselves The vets it seems forced Jeffries
F~ov hos io1 and
took umbrage at it and began to work for Collins
George Bancroft looked the field and decided to
file for the senate himself, knowing full well that
every vote he got would be another nail in Relnicks
coffin which alas, was too true
Speaking about the Republican senatorial nominees
of King county reminds the writer that rather
unexpected defeats in the late primary election
recorded and first the list is I. B. Knckerbocker
whose friends felt reasonably hewould win but he
himself doubted it all along, Chief among the things
that lead to the defeat of Senator Knickerbocker it is
claimed was his vote in the Schvey impeachment
trial and whether there is is not anything in the
statement we do not know but it is fact that every
senator that voted for Schvey experienced hard time
in the primaries and still has another gauntlet to
Knckerbocker a tireess worker and he merted
better treatment
Speaking about this dry and wet proposition with which
the next legislature will have great tusse reminds
the writer that Howard Taylor who has been nomina-
ted for representative from the forteth district is
seeking the speakershp and in view of the fact that
he has played nice little game in both the back yard
of the drys and the vets the governors forces may
decide to get behind him lest E. A. Sims, of Port
Townsend should be the winner. Just what the con-
diton will be in the house is hard say for it is
than probable that goody number of the house
bers will be defeated account of the insurgent
move in the state and just what stand the govern
or's forces will take to the speakership contest will
be determined after the election, but is fair to
sumo that Taylor will be the man.
Viewing the senatorial roster from wet and
dry standpoint Bowen, Landon, Collins and Jackson
will stand pat for the county unit. Piper and McAvoy
will stand pat for the law to remain it's. If we judge
by the past Nichols and Allen will be of like opinion
