PORTLNND AND SEATTLE RAIL WAY COMPANY By Edward J. Cannon, Its Attorney, 120 Wall Street, Spokane, Washigton. i ANKENY OR JONES. THERE is a strong disposition throughout the state among republicans ! to shelve Mr. Ankeny next year, j Mr. Ankeny, like Barks, is willin' to serve another term in the United States j senate, but the people do the selecting the next time a selection is made, and the people cannot be manipulated for certain ends, at so much per, as readily as a legislative body. No reflection is intended upon Mr. Ankeny as a worthy citizerr when it is said that his wealth alone was res|>onsible for his election to the United States senate. It is not insinuated that he bargained for the office for a lump sum, but it cannot be denied that Mr. Ankeny's only qualification for so. high a position is the extent of his| private possessions. No one can j believe for a moment that were Mr. Ankeny a man of moderate means his name would ever for a moment have been considered in connection with the senatorship, because he never had been a political leader, was never prominent in political affairs, and his ability as a speaker is very medicore. It can be said of him that j he is a successful business man, clean \ and upright in his personal dealings, and a valuable citizen in the community in which he resides, a standard that til s a great many, and is praiseworthy although not all the equipment neces sary to qualify a man for a seat in j the senate. There is nothing in his . < natorial record to which he can "point with pride." Indeed there is hardly a man of ordinary intelligence in the state who c ould not have accomplished just as much for his con stituents as he has during his term. Mr. Ankeny's name may again be presented to the people, but he will i probably have for his opponent Hon. j Wesley L. Jones, and in that case j there can be but one result and that j the selection of Mr. Jones. It would i only be a reward for long and faithful I service if Mr. .Jones should be promot ed from the lower to the upper hou.se of congress. In him the state would have a representative in the senate that the people could feel proud of, and one who could and would make his presence felt in that body. The election of Mr. Jones would be a credit to the republican party, while putting Washington on a footing in the way of senatorial representation with other states of the Union. Pal mer Prospector.
