chairman of the Republican commit
tee Of Pierce county. Was all smiles
when the query Is 20 the outlook was
put 70 him. There Is nothing on the
horizon but sunshine and bright pros
poets he said. The county is thorough
~ organized and every Republican is
working with perfect harmony and
enthusiasm. The men who expected
something from the convention and
failed 70 get ii are all in line for the
ticket without shadow OF disaifeetion
appearing. | predict the election of
Mr.. Aien by larger majority than
was given TO Voorhees, in his palmiest
DAYS and while he had something to
work on even though il was the mag
nation of the people 10 whom he was
not known No" said Mr. Arm
strong, Voorhees, time has come. Ii
will end abruptly on November 6,
when he viii be confronted with wall
OF votes 200 strong"
Mr.. Z. w. Taylor. secretary OF the
committee, was seen, He said: II
know OF but one Republican in all my
range Of acquaintance and all have
met in the canvass who will not vote
for Mr.. Allen. and think he will vote
for him when the time comes On the
other hand, know personally of dog
ems OF Democrats who will vote for
Allen. Mark my words, there will be
landslide in November. / have re-
eeived Communications from all over
the territory, all Of which give the
strongest assurance of success for Mr.
Allen and the whole Republican
ticket. Such perfect harmony and en-
thusiasm has never been known be-
fore throughout the Republican party
OF the territory.
"As for the county Republican
ticket" said Mr.. Taylor, every man
upon il is sure of election
Mr.. Thomas Carroll, chairman OF the
Democratic county committee said
that the reelection Of Voorhees, is a
foregone conclusion. 81 estimate his
majority al from 1900 to 1900" Fred
Bansman, who was present. and who
has just returned from campaigning
for Voorhees, in tie southwestern part
of the territory, said that Voorhees,
majority would be 1900, or as much as
il was before. Everybody who voted
for him before says he viii vote for
him again. He IS as personally pop
ular as ever.
Col. NJ. kaufman, secretary OF the
county central committee, was even
more confident than either OF these.
He had been with Voorhees, at Stella
COON, Puyallup, Slaughter and other
places. "If the reception rendered
him upon his entry into King county
is any indication, he will be elected by
even larger majority than before.
Everybody in Slaughter was out. His
speeches are received with enthusiasm.
They are very conservative, and wish
you would say that the reports of his
treatment of Mr.. Allen are all wrong.
He speaks of Mr.. Allen with warm
personal regard, but claims the right
10 review his political record.
am in receipt OF letters and kilograms
at almost every hour IN the day from
all parts OF the territory speaking of
his prospects. The only point that
see where we are likely TO fall behind
is in Clarke county where there seems
to be some little dissatisfaction, but
we viii win east OF the mountains and
are gaining west. We will carry
Pierce county for Voorhees,.
The Democratic chairman said con-
corning the vote of Pierce county that
1t would be relatively the same as at
the last election. AT that time there
were three candidates, and the vote
was as follows Bradshaw, 1881: Voor-
hees. ii0s: Newell, $50; Bradshaw's
plurality, I73. At that time the
women voted, and Carroll gave a
thought which just occurred to him,
that the absence of this vote would
change the story; that, in his opinion,
the female vote was two Republican to
one Democratic, and this Withdrawn,
together with a large percentage OF
Newells vote. would give the county
TO Voorhees,. He would not state fig
ures. Mr.. Armstrong, Republican
chairman, on the other hand. says
they, the Republican committee, has
been making careful canvass OF the
county. and estimate Aliens majority
AZ from GO 10 700.
