The "Nonpartisan" fake

The Seattle Post Intelligencer of
October 80, says:
"The rawest political fake and
fraud which was ever attempted in
this state is the movement to drag
the supreme court into disreputable
partisan politics through the false
pretense of an alleged nonpartisan
ticket. This ticket was put into the
field by a number of politicians who
attended an alleged convention of
self-chosen delegates, representing
chiefly themselves.
"Thereupon, by the worst Of the
old convention tricks of dickers and
fusion, they traded with the Demo-
Gratis, also holding convention to
which no delegates were elected by
the votes Of any portion Of the cleo
torate. Having made up a ticket
by a political dicker, through which
certain places on the ticket were al
lotted to the Democrats through
agreement that the Democrats would
support the other nominations made
by the self-constituted convention of
disgruntled politicians, the people
are invited to consider this as a
"nonpartisan" judicial ticket and
for political reasons only, to vote
out of Office the present members of
the supreme court
ut is crude, raw and disreput-
able fake.
ut is a deliberate attempt to
drag the supreme bench Of the state
into dirty politics. As an incident
showing the character of the whole
political deal, men who have been
nominated for these great judicial
offices are now stumping the state,
using the arts Of the political orator
to advance their fortunes.
up to this time no political par
ty IN this state has ever nominated
man for the great office Of a Judge

One of the most interesting ques-
tions to be decided on Nov. s in any
section of the Northwest is the wo-
mems suffrage question, which will
be settled by the voters in Washing
ton, coming before the electorate in
the form of constitutional amend
ment, the suffrage will require a
favorable vote of two thirds to win,
but having the active support Of
hundreds of women and the benefit
Of their two years campaign, with
practically no organized opposition,
the amendment stands good chance
of passing. It will appear on the
official ballots as an amendment for
Article 6 of the Constitution, relat-
ing to the qualifications of voters
within the state. The rather unex-
planatory title may lose the amend
ment some votes, the voters not be-
ing informed as to which is the suff-
rage amendment. In fact the care
less vote has hardly received the
serious consideration which it de-
serves. The women who are work
ing for the amendment will be at
the polls, distributing literature and
using every effort to win the votes
of the men. The Islander believes
that the amendment should carry
and that the women Of Washington
as well as every other state in the
Union should be allowed the right
to vote.
Following Col. Roosevelt's declar-
alton that Supreme Courts are not
too sacred and dignified to be freely
criticised the Supreme Court of
Washington has come in for consider
able undertaking, but apparently
only on issues which were dead be-
fore the present judges took their
seats on the bench. Five of the pre-
sent justices are candidates for re-
election this fall, and their friends
have also been active in bringing
their records before the voters.
These records show that in no state
has the Supreme Court been more
progressive or imposed fewer OBJ
stacles to progressive legislation.
In Washington the Supreme Court
has upheld the direct primary. local
option, recall and referendum laws.
and many others Of progressive
nature.

shr.wd pIee. Of Business.

The great system of tunnels under
the streets of the city of Chicago now
used for the transportation OF freight
was built by company which was
organized and chartered as a tele-
phone company. II was announced
that the company was organized for
the purpose OF operating a vast sys-
tenn Of automatic telephony, and ths
tunnels were supposed to be for the
purpose of accommodating the wires
OF the system. The tunnels were very
generously constructed as far as size
was concerned and the telephone fea-
ture was lost sight Of and the trans
portatiop business developed. The
company drifted into the hands OF a
receiver and the effort is being made
to take up the telephone business ac-
lively, and contract has been made
covering the installation OF very
comprehensive telephone plant of TO-.
600 instruments, with several stations
in different parts OF the city, and ma
king use of the tunnels for carrying
the wires as was originally outlined.

OIL MAGNATE OWNS A GHOST

III. Clay Pierce. St Louis oil mag.

Gardens at Ceurnavaca. Mexico. and
may be said to be the custodian OF the
ghost OF the Borda Gardens, Nothing
was said about Il when Mr.. Pierce
paid $4,000 for the historic spot
which was the favorite summer haunt
Of Emperor Macmillan and Queen
Carlotta In the days of Mexico's splen-
dor as an empire.
But II is to be supposed that the
ghost, having occupied the gardens
without leave these many years. will
continue to do so. and an occasional
glimpse of the ghostly intruder may
be vouchsafed to the guests of Mr..
and Mrs. Pierce after Mr.. Pierce has
spent 100000 In restoring the gar
dens and they are ready to entertain
their friends there
Mrs. Pierce, who will be the mis-.
tress of the mansion of the mad EN-.
press. is an Edwardsville (Ill) won.

Russell Pickett. Before her marriage
to Mr.. Pierce she was Mrs. Virginia
Pickett Burrowes.
The mansion, In recent years. has
divided into several suites and has
been let to tenants. These say that
they often see the ghost.
Whose ghost is II. and why It haunts
the Borda Gardens nobody pretends
to know, but 1t is the belief Of the 10
cality that the ghostly appearances
have some relation to buried treasure
and dark crime of the long ago.--St
