in che crossing Of ~kecnedeed swords

bsttleficlds, il g easy TO be 4 hero as 1t
is to lie down and sleep when nature
calls for rest. In truth, mankind has
always gloried In human butchery, and
tho highways Of the world have been
worn away by the eternal tramp Of
helmetted heroes. The thurst for blood
will come on apace and heroes will rush
to man those ships and murderous ma.

And most Of US are lacking in the

Of peace. We fear to face tho respon'

as much money they had agreed to in order to d0
things in the First ward team be said and said with
out fear of successful contradiction that Claude Z.
Ramsey made the hest fight that politician ever put
up in the city of Seattle considering the odds that
were against him. He was fought by the entire city
and county governments Policemen were stationed
at the doors of the voting places while the count was
going on and threatened to shoot any citizen that
wanted to go in the to watch the count In the
precinct the water front it is said that one man
voted fifty dead for Pipes and boosted of it after
the count had been made Men who are on the inside
say that not less than twenty thousand dollars were
spent in the interest of Pipers election. Twenty diff

campaign committee worked all day in the interest of
George u Piper and that too in spite of the fast that
Piper was an avowed Wilson adherent and Ramsey
had remained neutral in the senatorial fight tits

ever they taken one favorable to Ramsey's
nomination present to see that things were on
the square and in the open. Two years ago in the in
terest of certain candidate it is said ballot box
tempered with and it cost the interest something like
one thousand dollars to get things fixed up to
show the nomination of certain man to the legsla-
ture and it is beginning to look as if the same
thing was done in the contest between George U.
Piper and Claude G. Ramsey. If there is any truth in
these the attention of the prosecuting attorney
should be called to them and if he does not take official
cognzance of it then it should find it's way into the
courts throtgh some other mediums 1t huge
joke in the First ward to think of Ramsey getting the
nomination over Piper though he might actually get
two votes to his one, for the boys knew Clancy had

BILLY BRYAN BOLTS

William Jennings Bryan has bolted the Democratic
nominee for governor of the state of Nebraska and
his bolt is based on the liquor question. This is the
first time since the meteorc rise of Bryan above the
political horizon that he has halted hesated at ac
cepting everything his party has put forward, if it
would only nominate him for president and now he
will have opportunity to find out whether he the
Democrats own the old Bourbon Ass that has done
such yeoman party service for all these years. In
case the Republican convention of New York turns
COL Theodore Roosevelt down he, in all probability,
will also bolt his party nominees of that convention
and seek to elect Democratic state administration of
New York. In other words Colonel Roosevelt like
Bryan will have opportunity to whether Teddy
Roosevelt the Republican party the party ee-
plant that has weathered the G. O. P. through so
many hard fought battles.
