A CANDIDATES SOLILOQUY.

The day before election, you wonder
when he observes the stake, which is
posted the report, of those who stormed
thte voting fort. The politicians all look
wise, and swear their men the winning
guys. because they have lead pipe cinch
on all the voters in the trench, but still they
rally all day long and end at night in merry
song. They all declare "I'm sure to win, -
when all the votes are fully in, but
the day behind election time, the ones
who lost are hard to find. When one Of
them you chance to meet, who failed to
reach the ''gOlden beat,' "it happened
thus,' he quickly says, and then to you
begins to buzz, Of how and why he flatly
failed, to stop the voters when he hailed.
Zone week more and I'd have won, all
the votes save only one, but then there's
johnson, Jones and Brown, and all who
went with them around, they lied like
dogs to get my dough, and then went home
and shut the door. Politics is a dirty
game, and | am quite ashame, for having
been among the bunch that asked the
voters for hunch. In future I'll forget
it ALL and let the scalawags have the call,
for every office in the land, of which the
voters have to hand. OF course my mind is
needed much to save our country from the
clutch, of Bolshevist bulls and Russian reds,
who wish our constitution dead but again
will not be buncked by those who simply
want my hunck, then to my opponent give
the vote, for which I paid twenty dollar
note" Thus do the politicians come and
CO. when swamped by tons Of voting snow;
quite sure to win the day before, but the
day behind they want no more"

CALDWELL WINS NOMINATION.

Inspite Of the fact the daily press of the
city with the exceptions of the Union Rec
ord, was unit for Fitzgerald, yet in
three cornered race he came out poor
third Evidently the voters made up their
minds that they would not stand for news
paper dictatorship and therefore rebuked
at the pools the candidates they advocated.
Such thing in other cities has happened
before and now it has happened here.
The street railway deal was also an ele-
ment in the nomination fight that initiated
against Fitzgerald and helped Caldwell. 1t
is the belief among many Of the voters that
the purchase Of the street car system was
not on the square and in the open, and that
somebody got big bunch of tainted money
when the deal had been fully signed, seal
ed and delivered. We do not believe that
a single scintilla Of suspicion was laid at
the door of Fitzgerald, but the voters had
their suspicious as to who got the money.
They therefore voted for Caldwell believ-
ilfE that ne would institute searching in
qury as to the whole transaction, and it
there be "nigger in the woodpile" they
would smoke him out.
Men, who should have spoken out in
meeting many months ago on this street car
DEAL have recently taken the public into
their confidence and told it Of many shady
Things concerning the transaction, which if
true, should be carefully looked into and
a court mix up should follow. According
to their story the city Of Seattle has been
blked out of not less than seven million
dollars and the bilking is still going on.
Whether or not Hugh Caldwell as mayor
of Seattle will dig down to the root Of
this alleged crooked transaction remains
to be seen, but he probably will not, as it
seems to be the office instead Of the pub
lie that interests him to the greatest extent.
Another cause for Mayor Fitzgerald's s de-
feat lie in the fact that at the eleventh
hour religious crusade was waged against
him, which cost him many thousand votes.
1t is rather deplorable that either religion
or PARTISAN politics should be injected
into these municipal fights, but they fire.
quently are and as often they are some
innocent bystander get badly hurt
Finally the fact that Caldwell was an ex-
service man was responsible for him getting
many votes both from ex-service men and
admirers Of such men. Stunning it all he
won nspite Of determined opposition.
Like Mayor Fitzgerald we accept the ver
dict of the voters and become an advocate
of the election of Hugh M. Caldwell for
mayor Of Seattle, not that we love Duncan
less or Caldwell more, but because, in our
opinion, the whole city will be better served
with Caldwell as mayor than with Duncan.
If Mr. Caldwell lives up to his public ut
terances prior to the primary election, he
will turn the light on the shady spots, if
such there be, of the street railway trans
action, and with corporation counsel after
his own heart he will make the guilty part
les, if such there be, hard to catch. Our

LANSING GAVE BYRON-KHUN
FIRST PAINTING LESSONS,

= lnoA EAANIANU LESSONS.
But it took a stranger from a
far land to tell me first something
very interesting about our own be-
loved former Secretary of State
that he is an artist Of great ability.
1t seems that Mr.. Lansing gave
Byron-Khun his first lessons In
painting.
1t was in those days about a dee-
ade ago in Southern France when
the boy-then a very small boy
used to watch Mr.. Lansing. for
whom he had q great childish af.
fection.r at his work. Then Lansing,
seeing the boys interest, just for
amusement started to teach the
child to make pictures, too, and he
told Byron-Khun the other day that
he has now one of his first attempts
made-under his instruction in those
days. And Byron-Khun has about
half a dozen Of Mr.. Lansing's sketch
es done at that time and some are
really wonderful. He asked Mr..
Lansing the other day about his
painting and with something of a
sigh, the statesman replied that he
hadn'e had time to do any of it since
those pleasant days.

The grand duke received shelter

late James Rankin Young. who was
former Representative in Con-

to that time was a newspaper cor
respondent here and was one Of the
founders OF the Gridiron Club. On
the maternal side he is the fifth
generation OF the Barclay family,
born in what is now the city Of
Washington. and he is the grandson
of John NJ. Barclay, for thirty years
journal clerk OF the House Of Rep-
resentatives. Mr.. Young has been
in the consular service for a num-
ber OF years, and was in Serbia in
1917. during the German drive, and
was the American representative al

severed relations with Austria. Since
that time he has been connected
with the State Department here.

GLASS HOME SCENE
OF ANOTHER WEDDING.
The home of Senator and Mrs.
Carter Glass. SO recently the scene
of the wedding OF their daughter.
was the setting for another we'd
ding yesterday when Miss Elizabeth
Saunders Glass. daughter of Mrs
John Sandford Glass of Richmond,
Va, married Edward Arthur Bar
low of New York. There was quite
a large wedding party but a small
company to wisness the ceremony
and to attend the reception which
followed.
Miss Glass was given a dinner
party last Thursday evening by
Miss Jean Lowry at that charming
new place, the Maison Dupont, at
1901 r street. 1t is the old Thropp
house which has been closed, you
know, since former Senator and
Mrs. Willard salisbury had il sew

tleman. of Virginia and Baltimore,
herself of high social connections,
assisted by one Of her friends. has
opened this lovely place. where
they serve luncheon, tea or dinner,

and it certainly is delightful. The

ALL THE BRIDESMAIDS But ONE
THIS SEASONS DEBUTANTEs.
All OF the bridesmaids except Miss
Jessie Knowles Of California. were
this seasons debutantes and the
matron Of honor. Mrs. John Ripley
Buchanan wasn't much older. In
fact the whole wedding party was
so absurdly young IL made some
older folks sigh. The bride is only
seventeen: think Of IL. She made
after she came out her engagement
was announced. Though she wasn't
exactly a cabinet bride. because Of
the interest in both the Lane and
the Kaufman families which oc-
cupy first places in Washington So
ciety, the wedding was perhaps the
most brilliant event Of many
months.
The company gathered together
there to witness the ceremony was
composed of diplomats. cabinet Of
ficers. statesmen and ofiicials, 5urists
and the very cream OF resident So
ciety, headed by the first lady OF
the land. She occupied. front
pew, accompanied by her sister. Miss
Bertha Boiling. and wore the same
stunning costume. hat. cape and all
that she wore to the Penwomen's

Mrs. Wilson was kept rather busy
that day attending weddings. for
just before she went TO st. Johns 20

messed the wedding OF her social
secretary. Miss Edith Benham, and

Navy. senior member of the Com
mission on Navy Yards. Now Mrs

the contrast between the two mar
riages. both of great general inter
est, had struck Mrs. Wilson.
The Lane Kaufman wedding
was an elaborate AFFAIR, and the con-
tracing parties extremely youthful.
while the Benham- Helm ceremony
was very small and quiet, and both
the bride and bridegroom are past
middle life.

The ceremony was performed in
the home Of the bride, and her
mother, Mrs. A L. X. Benham, at

HARD RED CROSS WORK
BROKE HIS HEALTH,

Byron-Rhun is so active that he
just wears himself out occasionally
he broke down completely after
his Red Cross work during the war
and then he takes himself off far
from the maddening crowds to some
astery or on to some lonely isle to
rest and paint. for he says painting
is very restful. He has studied
much the ancient poets and often
seeks their haunts and lives in
their atmosphere.
