the largest number ii has ever had

One of the interesting rumors in
circulation during the last few days is
that Howard Reed, Speaker of the
House of Representatives is seriously
considering becoming a candidate for
Secretary of State, instead of for the
office Of Commissioner of Agriculture.
There are already three candidates in
the field as Ira Hopper's SUCCESSOR
jim Higgins, George NJ Booth and
willard Funk. The race promises to
be an interesting one.

II has been many years since an
Arkansas statesman has gained the
national prominence which has come
during recent months TO our Senior
Senator, the Hon. Joe II. Robinson.
Some months ago when he was men,
toned as a possible nominee for the
Democratic party for the presidency,
little was thought of it, but he has
been looming large on the political
horizon during the investigation in
Washington and-has measured up well
with the political leaders of the nation.
He is being recognized by many as
presidential timber and the following
editorial paragraph from the New York
World is Indicative of his standing
among the leaders in the East:
Joseph T. Robinson, minority lead
ed of the Senate at Washington, Is
worthy of the Presidential endorse
ment which has been given him by the
legislators of his native State Of Ar
kansas He is man of character
and ability and, should the New York
Convention look southwark, Mr.. Robin
son will have the earnest consideration
Of the delegates. The World, which
has no candidate, is glad to certify its
opinion of the type of public man ex-
emplified by the Democratic Senate
leader"

FuQuQ Can Wait

A attempt TO revive the city council bill Great
ing permanent traffic division of the police
department. with Sergt Frank Fuqua in perma-
nent charge, should be frowned upon by unbiased
council members at this time.
Fuqua's fitness to hold down the position has
not been established.
The traffic problem in Seattle is mighty seri-
Gus one and requires the best brains possible to
obtain to grapple with it. Maybe Frank Fuqua is
the man-maybe he is not.
The city council would display proper zeal for
traffic protection by waiting until the municipal
campaigns are over-a matter of few weeks
before naming a new department head.
The man who will be mayor of Seattle for the
next two years has a right to voice choice in the
selection of a traffic chief.
