might have along that line in the financial
and commercial interests of the city. If.
he was double-crossed by bunch of poll
teal buccaneers and if Waterhouse was
buncoed by bunch of prattling political
pirates those responsible for it should be ex-
posed and their candidate beaten to a
FRAGILE. AS County Commissioner Ramsay
is giving the county an ideal administra-
ton and he could be ily-spared from that
position, but just now there seems to be
greater need for just such a man as he in
the mayOralty chair of Seattle than in the
county commissioner chair The sacri-
foe Mr.. Ramsay has made in not filing for
mayor and we truly believe it is sacri-
fee because in our opinion he would have
swept the field with even Waterhouse in
the race, is very cOmmendable and should
be remembered in case he at some future
time aspires for higher honors.
King County's Colored Republican Club
held it's regular monthly meeting last Sun
day afternoon and tranacted much routine
business A goodly number was present,
but nothing like what there should have
been. The municipal campaign was taken
up but it was quickly put over until the
February meeting. which will be the 10th
instead Of the 17th
Among these who have filed for council
man is the name of Albert j. Goddard
and without having an opportunity to see
him Cayton's Weekly is going to endorse
his candidacy. Goddard has been in the
council before and in the council the city
never had a more faithful servant. Albert
Goddard is as white man as ever held a
public trust and if there were nine men in
the council who believe as he does as to the
e H. -
ertv owners would net have to be taxed
to death in order to maintain the city gov
eminent Cayton's Weekly is going to give
Mr.. Goddard a most hearty support and it
hopes that each and every one of it's read
ers will see his candidacy from the same
view point as it does and vote for Goddard
as one of the three candidates.
A number of good men and women have
filed for the councilmanic nominations and
while the editor hereof does not know all
of them. yet he does know enough of them
to say the average voter need not make
any great mistake in selecting a choice for
the city council. Six candidates are to be
nominated. The men who have filed for
the council and with whom the editor here
of is personally acquainted are Albert j.
Goddard, Will A. Hanna, E. L. Blaine, A.
F. Haas. Cayton's Weekly can cheerfully
recommend these candidates even at this
early stage of the game to it's readers, and
this is not said to the disparagement Of any
other candidates with whom we have had
no previous acquaintance.
Hugh M. Caldwell came almighty close
to being without opposition for the nomi-
nation and election of corporation coun-
sci. but "Misther Casey' jumped in thirty
seconds before the closing hour. Caldwell
has made an ideal official and should be
overwhelmingly reelected. His oppoennt is
an odd and eccentric protector Of the
''pepul' and should be elected to remain at
home
Harry w. Carroll will have no ~opposi-
ton and of course is the same as elected
now. He has served the city we'll and the
voters have shown to him the confidence
they have in him by running no one against
him, which means a personal saving in dol
