WILL VOTE ON
PRIMARY LAW
Question Must Be Submitted To
Our People At The Com
Ing Primary Election

Our esteemed contemporary, the Wi
comico News, reminds US that according
to the decision of Attorney-ceneral
Isaac Lobe Straus the voters Of Wicom-
leo, Somerset and Worcester Counties
will be called upon this year 10 decide
at the Primaries as to whether or not
they want TO come under the Lee Pri-
mary Election Law, whereby candidates
for county offices must be nominated by
direct vote, or whether they prefer to
have the tickets nominated by the old
County Convention system. AT the last
session of the Legislature when the Lee
Primary Bill was passed, Wicomico,
Somerset. Worcester and several other
counties were exempted from the pro-
visions Of the act and a clause inserted
whereby the voters were to determine
by ballot just what they wanted in the
way of coming under the provisions Of
the Law. At that time il was supposed
that the Primary Election Law would
not apply to the Congressional election
this year. land the question would not be
submitted to our voters until the pri-
maries next year. This, however, was
mistake and the question must be sub
mitted this year.
On the ballots used in the Democratic
primaries this year for the nomination
of Congressman, the question will be
printed "For Direct Primaries" and
Against Direct Primaries. II the
majority is in favor of Direct Primaries,
then the local ticket nominated in the
county next year, as well as the dele
gates to the State Convention, the MEM
bers of the State Central Committee,
must all file their declarations and must
all be voted for direct by the Democratic
voters.

Clark, of Missouri, the Democratic
leader of the House.
"Of course, there is nothing certain
except death and taxes, but the Demo-
Gratis will control the House as sure as
you are living, and l think | have a
good show for the Speakership."
In this way Mr.. Clark disposed of the
report that he would be candidate for
the Senate to succeed Senator Warner.
Republican. Continuing, Mr.. Clark
said:
"Mr. Cannon will be the Republican
nominee for Speaker next time. It's
too early to predict the majorites. The
greatest majority the Democrats have
ever had in the House was l4S, in 1890;
the greatest the Republicans have had
was ia, in the Fifty-ninth Congress.
when Roosevelt was elected President. "

OUR SUPREME COURT

The unmaskng of the supreme court of this state
by the Seattle Star exposes to public view nine human
beings similar in every respect to any other nine ct
zens of the state of Washington. The object of the
Star in unmaskng the supreme court in body is for
it's readers to compare its personel with five other ct
zens that are trying to get the supreme bench of
this state and after having compared them the voter
can see no good and sufficient for voting the
'ins'' out just to get the outs in If what the Star
says about the supreme court whole be true then
the editor of the Star almost criminal for not calling
public attention to the situation long ago. Prior to
the attacks on the supreme court by the Star had
thought of opposing at least two of the regular Re-
publican nominees for the supreme bench purely on

During the past ten days considerable political cur
iosity has been aroused statements made by the

Washngtonian and other papers throughout the state
that there probability in view of TIE vacan-
cy in the United States district court of the eastern
district of Washington of the designation OF Senator
Jones to this position by the president THE SEATTLE
REPUBLICAN is of the opinion that there is good deal
of a tempest in the teapot in this respect At this
time one knows what may be the Presidents views
in regard to filling this vacancy; one knows whom
the senators and the delegation in Congress may
dorse; one knows whether Senator Jones would ac-
cept such position in fact there is but little infor-
nation the subject Senator Piles has given out an
interview that if his colleague Senator jones' desired
the position he would recommend him. and that is
about all there is of this story. IT, however, we were
called upon for advice for Senator Jones we would
very frankly say to him. that If the President desires
to designate you for the position don't hesitate to ac-
cept it. 1t takes you away from the storms OF politics.
gives you position for life with ample compensation,
places you in a position Of equal dignity, and sur
rounds you in measure with influences that are as
peaceful as any that come in this world. We do not
take much stock as whether the governor would
point this or that succeed Senator Jones should
he be appointed as he seems disposed to do his own
thinking. The dispatches indicate that the president
will not make any appointment until Congress con
venes and should such prove the any appoint
ment by the governor would amount TO very llCCe aS
the legislature would assemble in very short time,
probably within ten fifteen days after the appoint
ment was made, and from the day they commenced to
ballot for United States Senator by expression OF the
constitution the appointment becomes vacant and the
legislature must proceed to elect and IN the failure OF
the legislature to make selection during its term
there is no power in the governor to appoint Such
has been the decision by the senate upon several
sons But so far King county is concerned in case
Senator Jones is appointed to the judicial vacancy and
thereby create senatorial vacancy she would then
have hope of landing right side up with care by her
legislative delegation giving Senator John L. Wilson
unanimous endorsement for the short term senatorshp
Outside of King county Senator Wilson can command
more support than any else in the county In Short
it is an undenabe fact that he is the only King county
man that would get any at all from the other
counties of the state. 1t is fact that overWhelm
ing majority of the hold senators would vote for
him. We do not know that there will be any vacancy,
but if Seattle wants United States senator. and
there is a vacancy, John L. Wilson can lead her to
victory.

A BIG SEATTLE INDUSTRY

Some time ago THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN ran
series of articles about the big things in Seattle but
in doing So it overlooked that is not only
one of the big things of the city to volume but is
one of the big things that is advertising Seattle
throughout the commercial world more than almost
any other manufacturing in the city, and it
is none other than the vulcan Iron Works. of the
big machinery plants of the Northwest. 1t is said
that there is but other plant in the Northwest
larger than the Vulcan, but for completeness by men
who are thoroughly posted such topics say it has
not an equal on the Pacific Coast. While the plant is
not nearly completed yet it is far enough along to
make any Seattle feel proud of the progress his
home city is making after giving the plant a thor
ough look over The completeness of this plant get
ting noised abroad and strangers from all sections of
the United Staes and even foreign countries are daily
asking permission to look it over and dsinterested
parties constantly receiving letters from such per-
sons their return home who recently visited Seattle
and got opportunity of seeing the Vulcan Iron Works
plant of the high state of perfection it has reached
and lauding Seattle to the skies for sustaining such
institution.
1t was early in the present year that the Vulcan
Iron Works was forced to leave it's old quarters which
it did without losing any great amount of orders The
owners have gone steadily on perfectng the plant,
and the writer was shown it from top to bottom
one day this week and it does seem to be lacking
in single detail Aside from the gigantic machinery,
the huge forges and furnaces which are manned by
hundreds of skilled operators the convenences for the
employees were as carefully looked after in the con-
struction of the whole the machinery rooms them
selves. The rest room the dressing rooms and the
lavatores are fashioned and furnished eaboratey
as well as completely those of the most expensive
hotels. school room too, is fitted up In which all
apprentices are required to attend school three nights
week and the regular journeymen are expected
to take some interest in the night school. The mana
gers Office is simply thing of beauty, and it can be
said without fear of successful contradiction that it is
the most elegantly fitted up office in the North
west
The Vulcan Iron Works is sending it wares to more
ports Just now than any manufacturing plant in this
section so those in position to know declare ana
is therefore one of the very strong advertising med
ums of not only Seattle, but of the entire state of
Washington When the Irondale plant will have been
completed it's directors hope to soon have it, it
will be the means Of furnishing such plants as the
Vulcan Iron Works with material right at home, and
they in turn will be able to supply the trade with great
er ease and facility and at less cost than at present
The time is not far distant when the Vulcan Iron
Works will be able to furnish everything necessary for
the erection of the most gigantic sky scraper and at
prices that eastern cannot meet. For this
