Seattle IeieEraph: In the scnhtorlNl
fight the governor is quiescent. II owe
great deal to Pierce county" he says,
'al certainly should take no hand IN
a contest against her" As nearly as we
can make out the republican situation,
King county and Pierce county are
running for senator.
Seattle Press: The people of this
state want ability intimate and accurate
knowledge OF their resources, personal
integrity and acquaintance in the
national capitol. They want also a
senator elected by the Legislature who
will represent the interests OF every
portion of the state, without regard 10
local wishes or schemes. Such man is
Senator Watson c. Squire.
Pullman Herald: Judge Calkins, oil
Tacoma, has entered the field for sena-
tor against MIR. Squire. The Judge
should profit by MIR. Turner's expert
ence and keep quiet until hs turn comes
| IL Is urged by Calkins' supporters that
| lie has had con gressional experience
This claim might have been good
against Squire year ago, but Mr.
Squire now has had congressional ex-
perience, and more than that, he has
given satisfaction to the people in gen
| erai.
Olympia Tribune: Judge w. H.
Calkins, candidate for United State.

nificent specimen of manhood, not ye

Walla Walla Journal: 1t may he

This sounds very unreasonable
Judge Calkins would hove voted had H.
been in Squire's place? Don't condenr
a man without cause. A charge lik
/ this is as empty as the false accusation
of Judge CaIkins being newcomer
Men are not judged for their ability an
integrity rs we would judge u horse
age by opening its mouth and lookin
at its teeth You put Judge Calkin
and Senator Squire side by side, lister
to both of them, watch their deportmen
and ten to one you would vote 70
Calkins twice before voting for MI
Squire once, unless you desired to vot
Tor him, right or wrong. or had string
to you. There are no strings on us.
Yakima Republic; A Washingto
correspondent states that all the sena

farmers candidates by investing i
lands improved or otherwise, so tina

Senator Squire Is veritable farmer
practical successful farmer making farm

no doubt that tho profitableness of Sen
