In a lively editorial tone the piece praises Seattle Police Chief Ward for seeking open gambling cases with a $50 reward while noting the city has few public games. It laments possible private gambling and urges citizens to help expose any open rooms or traps run by gamblers. It also touches on political betting and election rhetoric involving Pattison and Cosgrove.

Quirky Political Odds and Oddities Across Towns
A string of offbeat items from various towns covers a bizarre election mood. Debs signals, a shell without hair, chalked golf clues forming Taft and Roosevelt hints, and odd prophecies at a rock quarry suggesting Watson or Chafin will win. Community chatter runs high as coal miners, miners, and locals bet on outcomes.
Empty is the tin cup campaign quip in prose
The piece riffs on campaign finish and social attitudes with quips about trusts and fashion plates. It notes one in five American women is a wage earner and jokes about a father’s habit of exaggeration to claim a fish grew six inches every time he spoke.
