It is evidence that the rank and file of the American people is sound at heart; that no community is so corrupt that its peo ple will not vote for good government when the issue is put squarely before them. Denver folks have at last been enabled to see clearly the “Beast” long so cunningly veiled. Once having seen the enemy for just what it is, they have lost no time in bruising its bi partisan head.

Some two weeks ago Matt Gormley, the present incum: bent, notified his employes that discharge awaited any man in the office found backward in pushing the political Interests of MeCon naughey and Carrigan Some ten of the most valuable employes in the office refused ab- solutely to support either of Gormley's men for county office, Gormley was told that the protesting ones would not work in any treasurer's office run as McConnaughey ran it when he was in office «ix years ago. Carrigan also came in for a castigation at the hands of the om. ployes who are familiar with the latter's record. Saturday Gormiey informed his employes that he would release them from all obligation to support elther McConnaughey or Carrigan but requested that the men go down the line for John L. Wilson, Gorm ley has a promise from Wilson that he will be appointed adjutant general of the national guard in January, und he ts anxious to show Wilson that he ts working. Hiram Lampman, formerly bailiff in the municipal court, has an nounced his candidacy for constable from the Seattle precinct. Lamp man has been a prominent republican worker for years, and has been assured a large support. Ed Cudihee will not be a democratic candidate for sheriff at tha primaries this fall. He has told his friends that he would not run against Hodge, as he belleves that Hodge is entitled to a second term upon his record James M. Gephart has announced that he will make the race for the democratic nomination for congress from the First district. With Charles G. Heifner already in the race, this means that there will be a contest for the democratic nomination. The Bolo club, the political branch of the Spanish war veterans, has indorsed the candidacy of John F. Murphy for prosecuting attorney Disgusted with the political methods of the Wilson organization, republicans are daily deciding to support Miles Poindexter in an effort to put an end to the bossism that is again attempting to rehabilitate itself, despite the direct primary law. Pilloried by public opinion for having originated and initiated the scheme to take the selection of the delegates to the republican: state ivention out of the hands of the voters, John L. Wilson bas again changed front, and announced that the scheme might as well be carried out. Wilson takes the position that, as he will be punished at the polls for having fathered the scheme, he might as well go through with it and get what he can out of it Next Friday evening the King County Democratic club wilt Abid a smoker in its new headquarters, Evergreen hall, in the Silver build. ing, at First av. and Cherry st. The Progressive Republican league has sent letters to all the an: nounced candidates for the legislature asking whether the candidate will bind himself to vote for the republican choice for United Sta senator, a8 expressed by the voters at the primary. A few of the can didates have turned the letters over to the John L. Wilson senatorial organization to write their answers. 4. T. Armstrong, former counciiman from the 13th ward, has been busy the last few days looking over the ground, with the intention of entering the fight for the nomination for county assessor, Arm strong has not made any definite announcement of his intention to make the race, D. K. Sickles, the tounty clerk, will probably have no opposition for renomination. No person has shown any intention of making a contest against Sickles. asnenineeeenmes nininneniias —_ HIS DISABILITY Recruiting Sergeant-—Young man, why don’t you enlist?
