POLITICAL POT POURI.

Though every county office is to be
refilled at the coming election in this
county, yet but three Democrats have
filed for places on the regular ticket,
one for sheriff. one for prosecuting at
torney, and one for superintendent of
common school. Two years ago this
county gave Woodrow Wilson and
Ernest Lister, both Democrats and
both elected, majorities and despite
this Democracy has become such a
stencil in the nostrils of our citizens
that but three Democrats dared to face
the Odium of being on a Democratic
ticket. Even Special Prosecutor"
Reames with his big stick was not
able to sufficiently brow beat Republi-
canism to give Democrats courage
enough to file for office on the regular
Democratic ticket and that too despite
the fact that all of the federal and
state official appointees are Bourbon
Democrats and the most of them hail
from the Southern states. How has
the mighty fallen.
A vote for Edward B. Palmer in the
boost a man into office which he will
use for selfish purposes. In the legis-
lature he has always worked to give
great concerns decided advantages
over the ordinary citizen and his chief
reason for wanting to return to the
senate is to continue his selfish mo-
tives. He defeated the proposition for
the state to deed to the city of Seattle
the Lake Washington tide lands op-
posite Washington Park. thereby giving

The faults of Special Prosecutor
Reames to the contrary notwithstand-
ing Cayton's Weekly is most decidedly
of the opinion that Hulet NJ Wells was
deserving of prosecution and convic-
ton for sedition and it is further of
the opinion that organized labor is
making a most fatal mistake in trying
to bolster up a man of Wells type
This is either a government or an in
coherent aggregation of humanity, and
if the former Wells has tried to dis
rupt it and is deserving of punishment
for his vicious acts.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE

The white mother of U. S. soldier
who is fighting in France, was legally
elected from the premises, which she
was occupying in Seattle, but she ap-
pealed to the Council of Defense, which
body took it up with another of the
superior court judges, which resulted
in the woman being restored to her
former quarters and now she is hap
py and content.
A black mother of U. S. soldier,
who is fighting in France because she
gave white man impudence CD was
tarred and feathered and driven out
of Vicksburg, Mississippi, and no one
opposed the brutal and drastic order
and now the poor cO1ored woman is a
wanderer from home and if still in
the South afraid to make herself
known.
Seattle is a Republican community
and the judge that restored the white
woman to her home because her son
was lover there" is a simon pure Re-
publican. Vicksburg is a Democratic
community and the judges and officers
of the law would at the risk of their
lives try to protect the colored woman
now wanderer in the wilderness de-
spite the fact her son, too, is lover
there"
Southern Democracy is a disgrace to
American civilization.

to the city one of the finest park sites
in the world, and he makes no bones
that he will continue his opposition
to the proposition if he is returned.
He evidently has been moved to take
this stand against the people because
one of the big interests, which he
represents, is opposed to it. The COL
Ored man who will vote for Palmer is
a colored man only in complexion, but
an ungrateful man at heart. If you
think Palmer has ever been your
friend ask him what colored man he
has ever aided in any shape or form.
In Judge John F. Main, a candidate
to succeed himself on the supreme
court bench, old residents of Seattle
know that he has ever proven worthy
OF any trust imposed in him and the
loyal citizens of Seattle will roll him
up majority at the polls primary
day that will convince the other part
of the state that the Seattleites,
among whom he lived before going
on the supreme bench at Olympia,
still recognize in him a man of ster-
ling worth, a Judge, scholar and a
gentleman.
This paper heartily endorses the
candidacy of Judge Wallace Mount
for supreme judge to succeed himself.
He has been on the bench for a num-
Der of years and during all that time
has never handed down an opinion
that could not be highly commended
by any true, loyal citizen. Judge
Mount is a magnificent man and we
trust every reader of this paper will
see to it that he be given a vote at
the primary election. So far as the
colored citizens are concerned he has
ever been their friend.
The WOman's Political Alliance will
hold an Alice Presto meeting Septem-
Der 9Th, beginning at p. m. at the
First A. M. E. church. The meeting
will be an endorsement and ratifica-
ton of Mrs. Presto's candidacy for
state senator. The Alliance in con
nection with Mrs. Presto will have
others to speak. The members of the
Alliance plan to make this the monster
meeting of the primary campaign.
The King County Colored Republi.
can Club will hold a meeting in the
basement of the Mt. Zion Baptist
Church next Sunday, September 1st
at o'clock p. M, at which meeting
the committee sent out by the club
will report to the club it's findings as
to the candidates the club should en-
lorse. You and each of you are cor
daily invited to be present.
