POLITICAL POT PIE

In the last issue of Cayton's Weekly |
said that w. w. Conner, candidate for the
Republican nomination of lieutenant gov
ernor showed his spirit of human fairness
by working against the intermarriage bills,
which b. Lr French, also a candidate for
the Republican nomination of lieutenant
governor, and other political ighbinders
had put up to the legislature for passage,
when he could have favored the measures
and been good fellow with that bunch,
and in proof of the above statement Mr..
Conner was first elected to the legislature
from SSagit county in which county there
were not to exceed five cOlored voters. He
was next elected to the legislature from
the 44th legislative district in King county
and in that district there were and are not
over five colOred voters, hence it is plain
to be seen that he did not oppose the inter-
marriage bills because of his cOored con-
stituency | am always for the man who
does things because he is convinced he is
right and not because he realizes that
the other fellow holds club over his
head.
Caytons Weekly is delighted to again
recommend to it's readers Mrs. Josephine
Corliss Preston for the Republican nomina-
tion of State Superintendent of Public In
struction. She as held the office eight
years and has not only given to the state a
school system the inferior to none other in
the United States, but she has just retired
from the presidency Of the National Educa-
tional Association, an honor never before
conferred upon woman Mrs. Preston is
truly one of the notable educators of this
country and she has given the school sys-
tenn of the State of Washington the full
benefit Of her educational ability. | saw
bor Of bor off dow
is paying no attention to the campaign, but
is disposing of the momentus school ques-
tions coming before her every moment she
is in her office and is absolutely unmindful
of what her would-be opponent might have
to say or was saying against her admlnls-
tration. l seriously doubt if her opponent
will get enough votes at the primary eec-
ton to enable her to say Il also ran.
A. Lincoln Smith, who is seeking the
Republican nomination for county auditor
says, in case 1 am nominated and elected
county auditor it is not my intention to
make clean sweep of the office as it now
is, but it is my intention to properly orga-
nize the office force and to systematlze the
work. All efficient men will remain IN the
office, but no one will be carried on the
pay roll on account Of his or her political
pull.
Il am for Joel F. Warren for the Re-
publican nomination of sheriff of King
county because the colored man always got
square deal when he was chief of the
police, said Clarence R. Anderson, an at
torney at law, and the same sentiment was
expressed by P. Frazier, the real estate
dealer, and as they have expressed them
selves so have all the Colored leaders with
whom [ have talked.
[ do not expect to see either Of Fred G.
Browns opponents get enough votes to
worry him single bit, but it is being hint
ed about town that his former general elec-
tion opponent DR.. b. J. Brown is planning
to give him mighty tussle at the general
election.
