The man who is visiting Seattle after
lapse of forty-three years, and is trying
to locate Yeslers mill and other old land
marks of that day and age, must feel
something like old Rip Van Winkle.

Since the members Of the theatrical pro

Man is chivalrous at moments of great
crisis or excitement, but a woman will
cheerfully starve or endure torture for her
husband and children which is greater than
drowning.

gloom over all his subjects. He was great

humanitarianism.

The Pacific Northwest needs advertising
and the sooner her cities are aroused to the
fact, the sooner will the outside world

take as an example California Some say
California is over-advertised, but they are
not natives, and live where envy and jeal-

anything Of that state can say that it is
possible to over-advertise her beauty and

climate and numerous resources of this

Much has been said about the long
drawn out representative elections in
several towns this year, but it ap-
pears that the little town of Sand
gate had a Republican caucus that
was a record breaker. The caucus
was called Saturday evening, August
II to nominate a candidate for repre-
sentative. OF some 112 voters in
town 81 were present. In fact there
were more voters present than voted
the Republican and Progressive tick
cts combined on election day. There
were four candidates in the field and
each had about the same strength,
there being only difference of ten
between the highest and the lowest.
They balloted from o'clock Satur-
day night until midnight without
material change and then took re-
cess until o'clock Monday morning
when the struggle was resumed and
lasted all day Monday with practical
ly all the voters in town present ex-
cept two or three who confessed to
being Democrats. At o'clock Mon
day afternoon the ballot stood about
the same as at the start Saturday
evening. Nobody kept record of
how many ballots were taken, but
those present think 1t must have
been fifty to sixty and perhaps more.
Finally late Monday afternoon the
supporters of two of the candidates
withdrew and the candidate who had
led on every ballot was nominated.
He wasn't elected, however, on Sept.
8. A new man whose name wasn't
before the caucus. Clifton Mears,
was put up by a number of the lead
ing men fthe town and was an easy
victor on election day. Nobody can
say, however, that the Sandgate peo-
pie are not stayers when it comes to
caucus contest.

History Repeats Itself.

Not only the Governorship, but
the entire State ticket, will be
thrown into the legislature.
1t was in 1902 that the last dead
lock occurred, but the only candi-
dates who failed of popular election
were Mccullough, for Governor, and
Stanton-our present Judge Zed S.
Stanton-for Lieutenant Governor.
Whereupon Messrs. Mccullough and
Stanton were elected by the Legis-
lature.
The procedure of 1902 will be
followed this year, of course. Inn
mediately after the organization of
Senate and House, Oct. l, 1902. a
joint resolution was adopted, that a
Joint assembly be held at p. m.
on that day to hear the report of the
committee appointed earlier in the
day TO canvass the vote for State
officers, land If it shall be declared
by said committee that there has
been no election of either of said
officers by popular vote then to pro-
coed forthwith to the election of
such officers not elected by popular
vote as aforesaid"
The joint assembly was duly con-
vened and the committee reported,
in substance, no election of Gov.
ernor and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
Whereupon the joint assembly
proceeded to the election OF Cover
nor by ballot, and the ballots hav.
ing been taken and examined by the
tellers the result was as follows:
Whole number of votes, PCS; neces-
sary to choice, 1856: Mccullough had
1874, McGettrick as, Clement SO.
Whereupon 1t appeared that Mr.. Nc
Cullough was duly elected. The same
routine was followed in regard to
Mr. Stanton-who by the way. re-
ceived IL more votes than Gen. Nc
Cullough.
