THE INTERVIEWS.

Hon. Charles s. Voorhces-ln re-
sponse to an inquiry by the REVIEW re-
porter rs to his views in connection with
the approaching senatorial contest in
Eastern Washington, Mr.. Voorhees,
said: while, of course, l have no po-
litical interest in the issue of the sena-
torial contest, have that interest in the
outcome which every citizen of Wash
ington has in the representation of the
state from Eastern Washington in the
United States senate by gentleman OF
brains and character. | believe that
Spokane Falls, In view of her location
every description, Is not asking too
much in presenting O candidate to the
legislature, and would like to see q
Spokane man selected. 1t gives me
pleasure to say that in my Judgment,
the gentleman selected by the Spokane
legislative delegation as Spokanc's can.
didate fully meets every possible re-
quirement exaoted by this elevated posi-
ton. In the selection of the Hon. 5. c.
Hyde TO represent Eastern Washington
in the United States senate, the inland
empire will move forward with certain
assurance that her vast and multiiarious
interests will be ably and aggressively

ton. If the republican party fails to
give Mr.. Allen his jus recognition in
this matter, it might just as well begin
its funeral dirge at onco, He never
forced himself upon the party, but re.
mained gracefully out of the way of
other aspirants Tor the congressional
nomination until his party needed his
services, and then he came to the front
and not only led the party back to
power, but achieved victory unheard
of before i'm the history of the territory.
He has made two splendid campaigns,
and If there is any gratitude In the re.
publican party the great services of John
b. Allen should be rewarded He de-
serves this recognition above all others,
and If he is not elected to the United
States senate as he should, and as
believe he will be, the republican party
will be a dead party in this state. Spo-
kane Falls shows bad taste IN asking for

general. These aspirants here at home
should stand aside, and allow the Office
TO. 20 to the man who has earned 1t, and
to whom it justly belongs. For senator
from the west side my personal prefer
ence is for Squire, but think the peo-
pie over there should be left free to NOM
mate the man of their choice.
Hon. Paul Strobach--My first and
only choice for senator from east Of the
mountains is George Turner. l have
known Mr.. Turner for fifteen years.
For eight years he was chairman of the
republican state central committee in
Alabama, and his extensive acquaint-
ance with public men of national repu-
tation would AT once give him q stand
ing and influence in the senate which
no other man whom we could send there
would be able TO command. His record
in the constitutional convention is all
that is needed TO introduce him TO the
people of the state of Washington as a
scholarly, able and courageous gentle
man. s. g. Hyde would also make a
good senator, but prefer Mr.. Turner
Tor the reasons stated. From the west
side / prefer Ex-Governor Squire. With
Turner and Squire in the senate Wash
ington would have an exceptionally
strong team. But whoever the senators
may be- | am too good a republican to
question the will of the majority. | do
hope, however, that no dark horses will
be brought forward and elected. Ny ex-
perience has been that dark horses are
usually of very poor stock.
Prot. W. B. Turner of the, territorial
board Of education-My first choice from
east of tho mountains is Hon. George
Turner. Mr.. Turner is better equipped
intellectually for the Office than any
other man, and he's had wide experience
in public affairs. He made an excellent
record in the constitutional convention.
He can unite more outside votes than
any other Spokane Falls man. Nv sec.
ond choice is Hon. A. NJ. Cannon.
While Mr.. Cannon is not college bred,
he is man of sound, practical business
sense, and would do much for Spokane
Falls. From the west side have no
preference, but during late visit to the
Sound heard ex Governor Squire more
iavorably mentioned than any other
man, and he will almost certainly be the
choice of the people west of the mount
aims and will be one of the fi7st senators.
Colonel Patrick II. Winston-I am for
Mr.. Hyde. have no second choice. !
never have second choices. When I
am for man am for him. Mr.. HYDE
is man of great ability, and he has
helped in no small degree to build up
the civilization which we who came
later now enjoy. AS to the west side
senator, 1 do not understand this bust
ness Of sides in selecting senators. We
want the two biggest men in the state,
no matter whether they come from one
side, all sides, both sides or no sides.
Dr.John VIVIAN Zandt--My preference
for United States senator is Sam Hyde.
Governor Squire is my choice from the
Sound country. With these selections
think the interests of Washington will
