The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1910-08-19

Charley Phillips is making an aggressive compagn
against Sheriff Hodge and despite the atters alleged
popularity he will have to keep moving if he beats
Phillips.
J. T. Armstrong of Ballard has filed for county asses
sor against Bert Parrish Mr. Armstrong was dep
uty in the office for some time but for the past few
years has been councilman of Seattle from the four
teenth ward
Claude C. Ramsey held get together meeting of
his workers evening last week at the Perry Hotel
and from now on he will make the welkin ring RAM
sey stands for the right in every particular and will
make his fight that platform.
The difference between McConnaughey and Bill
Hanna both of whom are seeking the Republican NOM
inaton for treasurer is the former is of affairs
and the latter is upstart of clerk with expert
whatever in municipal affairs.
Why should the voters of the thirty-seventh sena-
torial district nominate elect Edward b. Palmer
senator? Does he not represent all of the special in
terests of the state when he member of the body!
Did he not join hands with Dr. Beach to sell the states
oyster lands for mere song? Has he not grown fab
uously rich by being member of the legislature! 1t
looks if it is about time to kill off such politicians
The special interests of Seattle have been instru-
mental in getting both Palmer and Jackson to run for
the nomination of state senator In the thirty
district because it mattered not to them which was
nominated the special interests would be taken care
Of Jackson is against whiskey and Palmer Is for It,
but that issue is of minor Importance to the special
interests and then the two had to have something
TO scrap over or the voters might see through the
scheme.
In commenting on the declaration of Thomas P
Revelle. the Seattle Argus says, IF any white man
can show any reason why he should vote for Revelle
it would like to hear it. Does that hundred eyed
monster mean to nsnuate that, Mr.. Revelle is not
white man? The office of Revelle Revele & RevelIe
has sent the Argus hundreds of dollars worth of pub
locations since it has been in existence and that's the
way it recprocates. That is worse than niger
would do
Howard Taylor is seeking the speakership of the
next house of representatives of the twelfth egsla
tire of Washington before he has either the
nomination or election. 1t begins to look as if King
county is seeking every position of Importance IN the
state and if she expects to get any assist
ance from the other counties if would be well to leave
some of them for the other fellow, But so far as
Howard Taylor is concerned in the speakers chair, he
would prove the veritabe bull in china shop. He
possesses neither the fitness nor the necessary quaca
lions and his election would be a calamity During
the two sessions that he has been a member he has
accomplished nothing save to demonstrate that, ne
could be on both sides of all public questions at
and the same time For an example Howard Taylor
was endorsed by the antisaoon league and yet in the
legislature when its up for consdera-
ZION he either lodged the question voted with the
VETS 1t is a fact that the vets have objection to
the election of Howard Taylor and the drys do not
oppose him. He is legislator that has been able
to fool all the people all of the time.
