From the number of candidates for the legislature in
King county they must be convinced that the cleo
ton of United States senator will be decided after
hot scrap in the legislature and that if Judge Burke
'iarred loose to an extent in the campaign it would
be nothing to what he will do in the legislature and
they need the money.
Of course the Hon. John L. Wilson wants to go to
the United States senate, and there something
like hundred thousand other men in the state OF
Washington who would not object to doing the self
same thing and by the way, it seems to be audable
ambition.
REQUISITES for office under the direct primary law
are money and publicity, neither of which the aver
age man with the office itch, is well supplied.
Sissy A. S. Burrows superintendent of the public
schools of King county, might be more to his calling
if he would take elevator job in one of the down
town blocks and the fathers of the county would have
better schools for their little ones if they nominate
Miss Mary Simmons, the feminine applicant, who has
asked for the Republican nomination of county school
superintendent.
j. w. McConnugahey has filed for county treasurer
and Bill Hanna the two-bt clerk, who has filed for the
same place, now knows that he has a man to run
against.
It begins to look as if the Republicans of King
county are thoroughly satisfied with Judge Ronald for
superior court judge only weakings have filed
against him.
Henry w. Lung who has filed for senator of the
thrty-sxth district, objects to taking the pledge In
view of the fact that Mr.. Lung has more show of
being elected than SNOWFALL to fly through hades he
has no scrupes of refusing to do what the general
public expects every good citizen to do.
Filing for nominations closes Saturday 18th and
you have week more to get your name on the roll
of the county's army of Office seeksers The graft
ers need the money and it is hoped that enough will
file to sufficiently swell the exchequer that the re-
firing grafters will have something to take with them
Mont W. Cay brother of Judge Gay, has filed for
the nomination of representative in the thryrst dis
trct Politics seem to come perfectly natural to the
Gay family.
Now that Senator Nelson B. Aldrich has practical
ly ruined the Republican party he says he is going to
leave the senate Let hope that he has purchased
a ticket for the place where fires need no kindng.
Republicans Should Pull Together" is caption
to word of warning by Seaberry Merritt OF Spokane
candidate for Congress- Republicans dopull together
It is dirty Democrats wolves in sleeps clothing
querading as Republicans that causing all the
trouble among Republicans.
Thomas P Revele is now ful-fedged Insurgent
candidate for the house of representatives of Congress
to succeed Will E. Humphrey and it begins to look as
if Mr. Humphrey has the fight of his life to succeed
himself In the local fights in which Mr.. Revelle has
participated he has always demonstrated that he
exceedingly popular and he says those fights will be
nothing in comparison to the fight at the primaries
September 18TH II will beat Mr.. Humphrey in ev-
cry county in the district and will beat him so badly
in Seattle that he will be the laughing stock of the
community. will be nominated and elected, and if
do not make good and be able to succeed myself,
will take my medicine like man. am not running as

disgruntled Republican | will not vote for Joseph
Cannon for speaker of the house, but if go into the
Republican caucus and beaten will not join hands
with the Democrats to prevent necessary legislation.
While Will E. Humphrey is perhaps the most classic
debater of the Washington delegation in Congress he
has not made friends and cannot be considered by
means popular and his line up with Speaker Cannon
will cost him hundreds of votes but even at that Mr.
