elected Wreckmaster, an office on
the ticket on those days which
never had function or pay. It
will be noted that the parties were
quite evenly divided and the Re-
,publicans won about half their
ticket.
Women Gain Vote
An interesting sidelight on that
1884 campaign, Mr. Brumbaugh
'recalls, was the first election in
which the women gained their
vote, lost eight years later in a
Supreme Court decision but again
won in about 1900. It will be
noted that M. C. Simmons, well
known as “Doc,” son of the orig—
>inal Micheal Simmons, was run-
ning for County Commissioner
against John B. Forbes, both be-
ing Kamilche farmers, but Mrs.
Simmons, who was a Waldrip and
a Republican, refused to vote for,
her husband, who won out by
thirteen votes.
Mr. Brumbaugh taught a three-
months’ term of school in the
Ode-loom school in Shelton in the
fall of 1884, and so far as recalled ,
IAllie Saeger, still living in Shel-
ton, was one of his pupils. The
district had $90 and this was the'
Eistent of the school term in those
days. Next spring he taught-
three months for $90, at the Webb
school. In 1888 he ran and was
lelected as county superintendent,
serving until the territory became
Washington State, in 1889, and
was reelected in 1890 and 1892,
serving until 1894, He was mar-
ried in 1887 to Emma Cummings,
whose family also came in 1883,
and they celebrated their golden
wedding anniversary three years
ago with their five living chil-
dren. l
Ancient Newspaper
Mr. Brumbaugh has preserved
a copy of the Puget Sound Ar—‘
gus, of which Allen Weir, the
territorial secretary, was editor,
after the election in 1884 of thel

officers of the 33 counties thenl
existing in the territory. The to-l
tal vote of that year was 41,-}
482, divided 23,409 Republican andi
16,707 Democratic. The totall
gain in vote from that of 1863‘,
of 5,373, being 36,469, showing,
how the territory had grown in;
population in that period. Mason'
County's vote in 1882 was 164, and
in 1884 was 296, and its total as—
sessed valuation in 1884 was
$546,648, or about one-tenth of
that today; then much of the‘
lands were government owned and:
not assessed for taxation. 3

Voters .Shoil—ld Mark
Those who may be inclined to
vote a straight partisan ticket by
crossing the circle at the head of
either ticket should bear in mind
that they are not voting on any-
thing else, for instance the six
questions at the head of the bal-l
lot, the judges and non-partisan
school superintendent at the bot-'
tom. The safest way is to crest:
the circle if it is desired to indi-
cate the politics of the voter and
also cross every question or name
desired. The circle cross indi-
cates only that if any name is not
crossed in either party ticket the
circle then covers the vacancy.
