Were conditions different trol of county affairs; were there no necessity of concentration on single candidates for cach office, The Star would gladly speak kind words for each worthy seeker for a nomination, but a definite condition confronts the taxpayers of King county; the money of the county is being squandered by a reckless and incompetent ring, educated to the idea that politics is the legiti- mate field for graft.
