Twelve Can Be Successful

The last opportunity for filing de-
clarations Of candidacy closed last
Saturday but for those aspirants for
public Office who let this oppor-
tunity slip there still remains an
other month for them to tell the
voters what good fellows they are.
Each candidate is willing to wager
half his pile that he will be the lucky
one, and after it is all over the de-
feated ones will take another month
IN telling just how it all happened.
There are twelve positions to be fill
ed and there are twenty-five aspir-
ants for the places. Among this
number there is plenty of good ma
terial to select from and it is now
up to the voters to do their duty.
The. Islander has many friends
among the number who have fled
in fact more than there are places
for, and for this reason has said not
one word to injure the chances of a
single candidate. 1t is now left for
the voters to choose and if they do
not choose wisely they can have on
ly themselves to blame.
1t is also up to the citizens of this
precinct, where registration of voters
is required, to see that their names
are on the registration books. Do
not lose your vote through any neg
lect on your part to do this.

liam Bishop, of jefferson. Mr.. Smith

of Western Washington, having gone
to Port Angeles in 1890 from the
Hoosier state, where he had been in
the newspaper business for several
years. He first owned and publish
ed the old Port Angeles Times. for
a time the only paper in Clallam
county, selling it later to the Trib-
une people, who merged the two.
After remaining out of the business
for a few years. Mr.. Smith again got
into the harness and has since made
the Tribune-Times one of the best
known and most influential papers
on the Olympic peninsula. Mr.Smith
has been a Republican all his life,
has done consistent work for his
party, and has never before been a
candidate for any Office. Four years
ago his paper gave loyal support to

atmosphere has been cleared Of the
smoke that has hung like veil over
the northwest and obscured the
view, Of the tourist and sightseer.
It-came rather too late to be of any
material benefit to the fast ripening
grain or root crops, but the pasture
lands have benefited much and it
may be expected that an increase in
dairy products will soon result. It
had been the longest dry spell in
this section for many years and yet
the crops are good. The farmers of
this county may well congratulate
themselves upon the fact that their
lands are not in some sections
where a six or seven weeks drought
means almost total failure of crops
and the necessary mortgaging of
homes in many cases in order to
keep the wolf from the door. Pu-
get Sound is especially favored in
this respect and there seems to be
no lack of appreciation on the part
of those whose good fortune it is to
live along its shores.

Tie Senatorial Situation

There are nine candidates III the
field for the important office OF I'm.
tied States senator from Washing
ton. Those filing for the Republi-
can Endorsement are: John E. Hum
. nhries. Seattle; Leigh R. Freeman,
Seattle; Judge Thomas Burke, Seat
file: Former United States Senator
John l.. Wilson, Seattle; James NJ.
Ashton, Tacoma; Schuyler Duryee,
Everett; Representative Miles Poin-
dexter, Spokane. Democratic can
didates are: State Senator George
F. Cotterill, Seattle, and Former
Mavor Patrick S. Byrne, Spokane.
Congressman Poindexter is the only
insurgent Republican in the race
and the only Republican senatorial
candidate from Eastern Washington.
There is no lack Of material for
the voters Of the state to select from
and among the number filed are men
of ability and we'll known worth
who would be a credit to any state
in the union and if elected will worth
lily fill the most important office
within the province of the voters of
this great state to bestow upon any
man. Every elector of the state
should consider we'll the qualifica-
lions of each man and when he goes
to the polls cast his ballot for the
one he believes to be the best fitted
to fill this great Office of public trust.
If good man be not chosen it is
will be the fault of the voters them
selves.
For many years past the Islander
has been an earnest advocate of true
Republican principles and a staunch
supporter of such men in the party
as followed its doctrines. It has
had scant sympathy with the here
sizes that have crept in at times and
threatened to disrupt the party. So
far as concerns the present senatorial
situation the Islander believes that
regardless of Mr.. Poindexter's views
or qualifications a Western Wash
ington man should be chosen for
the upper house of congress. Three
fourths of the population of the
state is west of the Cascade range.
Seattle has long been regarded as
the commercial center of the great
Northwest and it seems only just
and proper under present conditions
that one Of the candidates from that
city be chosen.
Of the two most prominent Seattle
candidates, Judge Burke is eminent
in the legal profession, of the high
est personal character, ample means
and closely identified with large
business interests, while Hon. John
L. Wilson is the chief owner of the
leading Republican newspaper of
the state and a man of exceptional
capacity for accomplishing great
work in behalf of the people. He
is sterling Republican and years
Of service in both branches of con-
gress have given him experience
which cannot fail to be Of the great
est value to the state and its people
should he be successful in his honor
able contest for the Republican nom
nation.
