Politicians are only waiting until the holiday season is over to begin the campaign, After the first of the year party tines will be closely drawn. Leaders are already ac tively, though quietly, at work ‘The Repubdtican party ts divided Into several fi task of harmonising the discordant elements has begun ‘The city election will take place in March, and in all probabil- ity it will hardiy be over before the primaries are heid to ¢lect delegates to the Republican convention, which is to select the ne tional delegates. This convention will be held at Ellensburg, Yak tma, or some other city in the eastern part of the state. There ‘will be @ scramble then of the vartous factions seeking the pa- tronage of the administration, and also for the election of a auc- cessor to national committeeman, Chas. Sullivan, of Tacoma.
