There seems to be no doubt but
that the Humes boom for the
governorship has about spent its
force and is on the verge of a
terrible collapse. Ere the county
central committee had decided to
hold a late county convention the
supporters of the Humes-Piper-
Ankeny combination were rather
inclined to exhibit the bragadocia
spirit, so certain were they, that
Humes had the county by the tail,
politically speaking, but things
have taken an awful slump on the
market since the meeting of the
central committee, and they now
admit that J. M. Frink has a fight
ing show for the King county
endorsement. No sooner had the
storm kicked up by the county
central committee subsided then at
once a "spirit" began to make its
appearence above the political
horizon, which had inscribed on it
in large letters; "Consolidation of
the various Republican clubs in
King county into one organiza
tion." The proposition at once
met favor with the members of
the King County Republican Club
as well as with the McKinley Club,
and ere another week will have
passed the two clubs will doubt
less be one. This in a nut shell
means that the followers of
Honest (?) Tom Humes realizes
that theirs is a lost cause and they
desire to get in the Frink band
wagon.
Later. While the rank and tile
of the McKinley Club favored
consolidation the Holy Trinity of
that sanctum refused to give it the
necessary sanction, and so the pro
position will not be accepted.

"I want to see the two leading
Republican clubs of the county
consolidated against the common
enemy, Deino-Popism," said Dr. J.
J. Smith of Franklin one day this
week. "In my opinion Mayor
Humes should serve out his
full term. The men who elect
ed him mayor last spring did so
believing that he would do so and
he should not deceive them. All
factions of the Republican party
in the city supported him, after he
had been nominated, most loyally,
and, it is due to the Republican
party of Seattle and the county in
general, that he serve his time out
as mayor of Seattle before asking
for another office. I have decided
to support J. M. Frink for gover
nor and Senator John Wooding
for sheriff. 1 have supported the
present sheriff every time he has
been a candidate and I am certain
it was an agreement that Mr.
Wooding be the candidate this
year and I therefore propose to
support him."
News comes from Dr. Sparling
of Newcastle that he too is endors
ing the candidacy of Hon. J. M.
Frink for the governorship. New
castle it seems is quite unanimous
in the support of Mr. Frink, and
no other candidate will get a
corporal's guard of votes from that
berg in the next primary election.
This is one of the heavy country
voting places and it means much
toward the successful candidacy of
Mr. Frink when those large voting
precincts in the country began to
wheel in line for him.
"I am certain," said a prominent
politician from the country one
day this week, "that Senator Frink
will get the entire eastern part of
the county to say nothing of the
votes he will pick up in other
parts*" of the county. lam told
that he will quite split the southern
half of the county and will more
than hold his own in the north
part of the county. Issaquah is
reported dead in line with the
Frink move. Ex-Dairy Commis
sioner P. J. Smith, like his name
sake, Dr. Smith, is out supporting
Frink for governor, but wants to
see John Wooding nominated for
sheriff. Such may be tenable
political grounds, but the Pie
maker hardly sees it that way.
The contest has been made on the
governor and sheriff and it looks
almost impossible for a man to
support the one without support
ing the other.
Ballard, it is believed, will send
a solid Frink delegation. The
News of that city, independent in
politics, is supporting the candi
dacy of Senator Frink, while the
Union, a heretofore Humes organ,
is rather inclined to Frink at this
time, which warrants the state
ment that Ballard will be a Frink
stronghold in the next primary
contest.

Speaking about outside aid for
King county there seems to be no
doubt whatever but that if Mr.
Frink gets King county's endorse
ment he will finally get the bulk
of the southwest combination as
well as a heavy following from the
northwest. Pierce county can not
do other than support King
county's choice for governor, pro
viding always that King county
herself is united, and she will be.
From eastern Washington Senator
Frink can reasonably expect Spo
kane's co-operation for the gover
norship, now that Judge Moore
has been completely silenced.
A reasonable support from the
sections herein enumerated simply
means the nomination of J. M.
Frink beyond a question. Mr.
Ankeny may get some following in
the southwest for his choice for
governor and some in the north
west, but by no means enough to
offset the heavy vote that will go
to King county's choice for gov
ernor, providing that choice is J.
M. Frink.

The local papers have had much
to say about an "important confer
ence" that Levi Ankeny and E. C
Neufelder are to hold in the East,
which may result in Mr. Ankenv
withdrawing his support from
Honest Tom Humes and throwing
it to Little Guie, who made him
self famous in state politics by
bolting the regular .Republican
caucus because that caucus did not
seiect a man for the United States
senate suitable to his wishes. The
Pie-maker attaches very little
importance to the supposed con
ference, even though it is an
actuality, for what has Mr. Neu
felder to deliver up to Mr. Ankeny
from a political point of view?
Perhaps the precinct that Mr.
Neufelder lives in might be influ
enced one way or the other by his
change of fronts, but not another
precinct in the whole county
would give his opinion a sober
second political thought re
gardless of what candidate he en
dorsed. No one, save a few imme
diate friends and admirers, know
E. C. Neufelder from Adams off
ox, (this is said in all friendli
ness, ) and his personel in a cam
paign would be of no more conse
quence, save among one or two
banker politicians, and would cut
no more political ice than would a
street laborer's, and not near so
much as some of them, who take
au active interest in ward politics.
Let Mr. Neufelder boost either
Candidate Humes or Bolter Guie
and it will not hurt Mr. Frink's
candidacy a single particle, aside
from his own personal vote.

The candidacy of Frank W.
Cushman has had no more ardent
advocate, even in Pierce county,
than The Seattle Republican
has given it, and it is laughable in
the extreme to read the following
excerpt from the Northwest Re
publican:
It is the anti Wilson men that
all. along have been the friends of
Cushman and Jones, for if the
Wilson element could have done
so there would have been a con
gressional candidate from King
county. The conclusion such
organs as the Seattle Republi
can and the Chehalis Bee-Nuggett
has come to was literally a forced
conclusion—rammed down their
throats, so to speak.
Either you have not read the
columns of this paper from time to
time or you lie for the pleasure of
lying. For the past six months or
more Mr. John L. Wilson has ad
vocated that King county should
ask for the governorship, and for
the past two years this paper has
advocated the re-nomination of
Frank W. Cushman, to which fact
the Tacoma papers will bear a
swift witness and which fact Mr.
Cushman himself has more than
once acknowledged to this paper
over his own signature, and the
attempt of the above miserable
little sheet to pervert the truth
shows the rotten stuff its editor
is made out of.

"Politics is a rather hot tomalie
in Seattle," jocularly remarked
Senator Sargent of Buckley one
day this week as he shook hands
with the Pie-maker. Well, yes, I
am informed that the law firm of
Crowley & Groscup is supporting
the candidacy of E. Heister Guie,
as he is pleased to term himself,
but the rank and file of the voters
of Pierce county favor the candi
dacy of Hon. J. M. Frink, and, if
he is endorsed by the Republican
county convention of King, he will
get the support of the Pierce
county delegation. Mr. Frink's
candidacy is very popular among
the voters of my section and we
sincerely trust that he will receive
the endorsement of King. The
candidacy of Mr. Humes is gen
erally considered that of a greedy
politician who is never satisfied at
what he is given by his constitu
ents.
"Yes it is true that I am a can
didate for sheriff of Pierce county
and I feel absolutely certain of
getting the nomination. J. C.
Taylor is also a candidate for the
same office and he hails from the
same district as I do, but I do not
fear but that I will get a majority
of the delegates and that will
settle it so far as he is concerned.
I will be nominated and if nomi
nated I am certain of election."

Frink headquarters have been
fitted up in the Star-Boyd buil
ding, room 331, where you are
welcome to visit at any time
through the day. "Mr. Frank H.
Paul spends the most of the after
noons there consulting with
friends.

Apropos the announcement of
ex-State Senator Sargent to the
effect that, "the Northern Pacific
of Tacoma is backing the candi
dacy of E. Heister Guie," comes
the report from another source
that the law firm of Crowley &
Groscup, Northern Pacific attor
neys, have sent word over to a
number of leading Seattle politi
cians to the effect that, unless
King county endorsed Guie for
governor King county would get
nothing at the hands of the next
Republican state * convention.
That is putting it pretty strong
and it was news to the Republi
cans, of King county to learn that
Crowley & Groscup owned the Re
publican party of this state to the
extent as to say who it would
nominate for this or that office.
The Pie-maker is of the opinion
that the state of Washington has
no two other men within her con
fines, who have less political in
fluence, save among a few Pierce
county politicians, than Crowley
& Groscup, and there seems to be
no doubt but that the state never
had two men with less political
gratitude in them than those two
men. Hon. Edward B. Palmer
and Dr. R. M. Eames, who made
it possible for the election of
Blundering Foster to the United
States senate, were told by Gros
cup the next day after the election,
that Guie and his followers, after
all, were the men from King
county to be thanked for the
election of Foster. It is useless
to add that Mr. Palmer pro
nounced Mr. Groscnp the most
contemptable ingrate that ever
lived in language far more for
cible than modest. Mr. Groscup
apologized for the break, but the
subsequent actions of his man
Friday proves that he meant
exactly what he said, and that he
is not to be trusted by any man.
No one objects to the Northern
Pacific having its "friend at court"
the same as any other private in
dividual, but they do object to
that friend being under the influ
ence of such a man as Attorney
Groscup of Tacoma.
' The Pie-maker is of the opinion
that "honest Chet Beldin" prevari
cated most outrageously, when he
declared to Pap Bruce that
Samuel H. Piles told him that he,
Piles, intended to support John
Wooding for sheriff, and the
reason the Pie-maker is of that
opinion sis because Col. Scott told
"honest Chet" that he was g —d
I—rif he said Piles told him that
he was going to support Wooding.
"I know Mr. Piles better that most
any one else in Seattle, and when
he gives a man his word that he
will do a thing it is the same as
his check, and he considers a
political obligation just as sacred
as he does a moral one. Mr. Piles
had told me that he was for Van
De Vanter and he had likewise
told Mr. Van De Vanter that he
would be for him, and I knew that
Mr. Beldin or Mr Any One else
lied when he or they accussed Sam
Piles of political infidelity," said
Col. Scott one day this week.

The Holy Trinity of the.Me-
Kinley Club point blankly refused
to entertain the proposition of the j
Republicans of King county ,with
out regard to former political
factions, to unite in one common
Republican club to oppose Demo
cracy and Populism combined in
the coming fall campaign, giving
the world to understand that, it is
not the Republican party that the
Trinity of the McKinley Club
wishes to succeed, but the indi
vidual interest of a few mercinary
politicians, who have lived for the
past two years or more by pulling
the political leg of would-be-
Senator Levi Ankeny. The Holy
Trinity of the McKinley Club is a
queer combination of humanity
and one that is quite deserving of
segregation at the hands of the
Pie-maker. George U. Piper, Dr.
Samuel Burdett and Thomas
Bevan are the members thereof.
A Western gold brick man, a
highly educated Kentucky Negro
and the worst type of bunco poli
tician from Slumdom. George
Piper has been heard from before
in Oregon, and, you know the
rest. Dr. Samuel Burdett was
once the leader of the A. P. As. in
this city, and, if current reports be
true, he led them a merry chase.
All know him in a political way.
Tommy Bevan, well he is a cuckoo
from cuckoosville and this tells
his whole tale. He has fought in
all parties and has been for all
factious, some times for them
alternately, and, at other times, for
all of them at the same time.
Such a triumvirate of politicians*
you and each of you will admit
without hesitancy, are eminently
befitting leaders to conduct a
campaign in which ''long green" is
the chief argument of convincing
voters.

And now a new candidate from
the Northwest has shyed his castor
into.the political arena and will
ask for the nomination of lieuten
ant governor, and it is none other
than ex-Judge Henry Mcßride of
Mt. Veriion. If he can get the
northwest to back his aspirations
as a unit and will go to the next
state convention with the view of
getting the place, combinations can
be made which will land him in
the chair.

A few days more and the dele
sates to the Democratic National
convention will be off for Kansas
City where they will have the
pleasure of paying $5 per day for
hotel accomodations and then
sleep five deep. But the most un
kindest cut of all, the boys will
have to pay $1 per drink for rot
gut whiskey. Lee Hart with
Judge White's proxy will be
among the first on the grounds to
do what he can against the candi
dacy of James Hamilton Lewis,
who has vice presidential aspira
tions.
