1t is feared the continued fight against Seattle
and the persistence of the boilers to tie the
didates down with resolutions such as the ona
condemnlrg Seattle aud McGraw, will force
several candidates off the ticket especially leg
fslative candidates, who despair OF being elected
under such conditions.
