SEATTLE GIVES CHEER TO NATION
In the recent city election in Seattle,
the Cleveland Leader sees test for a
short but very cneerful discourse on
national | oil tics. It say*. Pacific coast
cities were hit rcry hard b ? the paule.
They had been going ahead under
high pressure and the jolt of the sudden
checking down was severe. Their
booius eel lapaed, in large measure, and
some of their cherhhed ho|>e? wers
banished to the uncertain and distant
future.
Hence It might be expected that the
coast cities, all the way from Los An
geles and San Diego, to Seattlo and
Tacoma, would show especially strong
?igns of discontent and political unrest
this year. That would have been the
o >viou? logic of the situation. But it
seems the facta are quite different.
Seattle, the largest city north of S?n
Francisco, west of the K >ckies had a
munlclple election this week. There
was an attempt to un'te the element* of
discontent and all the enemies of the
republican pa?ty and opponents of it*
prlocip'e* In a 'Vlty party." The
plan was looked upon ** a meant of
luring many voter* who could not b?
induced to rote the democratic ticket.
The democrats practically fused with
the new organisation. Their owi^ nom
inee polled only about ?W0 *ote?.
Hut the scheme did not work to any
impnssiee ei'ent. 1 he republican
cand'date for mayor was elected by
about 5,000 ro?es in a city which doe*
not c??t more that 2.%tXN> in presidential
year*
Th * straw nhows how quite a gale Is
blowing It mock* the fcopes which
are being built upon hard time* by
ant republican leaders. U show* what
the Itryamtea rnd the socialists have to
e*p<vt in the section where they might
most rv*?onably hope for gain*.
