While Luce fell behind McGraw :. s3S,
Wilson led SEiyely by 729 only. The high
est vote on the Democratic state ticke. was
Church, for elector. with 4,974. followed by
Bass, for auditor, with 4, 302, and Clothier,
for treasurer, with 4, 25i.
The best Peoples party vote, leaving
out Knox. with 1885, who plainly re-
ceived outside votes. and Young. with 3, 500,
who also received support from the other
parties, was for Lyman Wood for secretary
Of state. 1851. The leading Prohibltionlst
was Everett Smith, for attorney general,
VINO has $50 votes to his credit, or fifty
five more than Roger s. Greene.
The county ticket was fully as badly cut
up. Frank TwitchelI led, with 7.13l votes
--632 votes behind McGraw: closely fol-
lowed by Byron Phelps. with 6.ss2. only
2f9 behind, Notwithstanding the popular
ity Of Mr.. Phelps opponent, Il. Thorne.
For sheriff 424 more votes were cast than
for treasurer. showing the sharp contest
for that Office. Woolery received 6,s03
votes, only % less than Abraham for as
SCISSOR but Quilter received 4.654. whereas
Abraham had only 4, 075 to contend against
with Swenson. Still Wooiery had safe
2,i49 plurality.
Another holly contested Office was that
of county clerk. With 266 less votes cast
than for sheriff. Gordon had to contend
more with failure to vote for him than
with opposition; as his opponent received
only 1913, while Quilter had 4,654 to his
credit.
Gasch polled sufficiently large vote. as
he was made a special object of attack. He
poiled 6,i42 votes, leading his division by
1G9; the leading Democrat. Steele, only
obtaining 4, 42l-one of the oldest features
of the election, as Steele was supposed to
be exceptionally popular. Although
the Democratic presidential electors
reached as high rs 1914 no
other Democrat in the county got
anywhere near that, except Judge
Lichtenberg, who tipped the beam with
SIS. The normal vote in the county may
be put at: Republicans, between e. 500 and
$500; Democratic, between 4.5p0 ana 800;
Peoples party, between 1900 and 5000;
Prohihitionist, about 400.
In the city of Seattle McGraw received
5,01i votes, or about 600 more than the
highest presidential elector. Twichell
and Phelps led in the city as in the county.
An odd thing is that while the leading
Republican elector was only IA ahead of
his Democratic opponent, Phelps led his
man hy i.6-9. The scratching on the
Judges TICKET brought Langley down to
3.05i. while Glasgow. who had 10 compete
with 3aer for municipal judge. got safely
out with ro6 plurality. Lichtenberg was
only 2o9 behind Langley, but the county
gave the latter a0S plurality.
The city vote may be estimated at about
4 200 Republican. $500 or :, 700 Democratic,
!,7o0 Peoples party aud 30 Prohibitionis..

THE VOTE ANALYZED.
Some of the Peculiarities of the
Recent Election.
ESTIMATE OF PARTY STRENGTH.
Those who Ran Ahead and Those who
Fell Behind the Tickets-The Conn-
try and City Vote Compared.

The first presidential election in the
state of Washington had many phases
which VIII long live in the memory of
those who took part in it: but now that
the principal features have become fam
iliar 1t is of interest to note some Of the
points of lesser import. The vote in the
state cannot be given with authority until
the ofiicia! count is complete, but some
general idea can be obtained beyond the
bare fact OF personai victory in King county
and Seattle. In 1880, Wilson, Rep, re-
ceived IN King county 400 votes; in
lss2, !,o5o; in Seattle, in 1890, 2,232; in
1892, 4.456. In 1890, Carroll. DEM, re-
ceived 1865: in 1892. 4.0i9 Notwithstand-
ing this great increase in the vote, there
were also cast, In 1892, 1886 for Knox on
the Peoples party ticket, which was not
represented in 1890. The Prohibition vote
for Abernethy IN 1890 was $50; in 1892. for
Newberry il was Alp. In the city in 1880,
the vote was 223; in 1892, 2i5: in the
county precincts, 1890, 223; in 1892, I67; so
tina. the party more than held its own in
Seattle, but fell Oft in King county.
For governor McGraw received 7,753
votes, but Calhoun, at the head Of the
presidential electors, received only 6.5is.
1t would be interesting TO know where
those j. 25 votes came from. The highest
electors on the four tickets received Ia, 793
votes: the four candidates for governor
altogether 15oo4 votes or Pill more than
rbe electors. The congressional candidates
received E,7i5. or go less than for gov
ernor. The highest vote On county Office,
that OF auditor, brought out only l4.4i2
votes, so that the Office OF governor forms
the ses:. few votes, if any, being thrown
away.
Next to McGraw. with 7,773 comes VIII
son, with 1858; with 3Gi less for Doolitile.
OF these only 2s5 went to Knox over Mum
day. showing possibly the vote which pre-
ferlet Knox 10 the Tacoma man. The
other votes were evidently thrown away,
as the Proh.bitionists fell short abou.
sixty votes.
II IS very evident that large number of
voters only put 4 cross to the first names
and then let the rest 20, because while
Ia, T93 votes were cast for electors and
1904 for governor. only 4.il2 were cast
for auditor and only u, 469 fo- lieutenant
governor
The votes in King county for governor
and lieutenant governor were as follows:

WARNING NOTE SOUNDED
salisbury Herald. !

Naii1Dui IItid
\ meeting OF kenluck Al!iahte Vas
held near Danville last Saturday and
it was remarkable ton the fact the
prominent speakers denounced Polk
and asked the Alliancemen TO halt
and think before following him fur
Their. Mr. W. w. Clarkson, lecturer
of Fruitland Alliance, was one Of the
speakers, and after reviewing the posi-
bilities Of the Alliance and its power
for good, he went on to speak OF the
dangers ahead. He said that the in
PRODUCTION of politics in the Alliance
will be its death, and that the papers
called the :: reform papers, by giving
only one side of the great questions OF
the day, are fastening the funeral.
Mr. Clarkson vigorously attacked the
Ocala platform. the Sub Treasury
scheme and the Third party.
He said the foundation of the ALI
ance is: " Equal rights to all and
special privileges to none, and yet
the Ocala platform and the sub treas
ury plan demand special privileges
for special representatives of special
class, the worst kind of class legisla-
lation.
He ridiculed the inconsistencies Of
the demand, and discussed and as
sailed the sub treasury scheme.
He condemned the acts and course
OF l.. L. Polk, and declared that he
was becoming veritable car, and, if
followed blindly by the farmers, he
will make of them slaves, worse of
than the serfs under the Gar of Rus
! sia.
/ Mr.. Clarkson declared that when
he Joined the Alliance, he was assured
that the order would have nothing to
do with his political and religious
views, and he did not propose to al
low Mr.. Polk or any other man &c
dictate to him how he shall vote
any more than how he shall worship.
On the tariff reform question, Mr.
Clarkson declares himself a solid
Democrat in favor of i" free trade anC
sailors rights He is going hand II
hand with the Democratic idea O
merely reforming the tariff, but if he
could have his way he would wipe ou
the whole shebang and cling to free
trade in its simon-pure shape.
There are more men like Mr.. Clak
san in the ranks of the Alliance thar
some people imagine.

to end it will be by a contemplation

are several press associations, and none
has a monopoly. The sources of our
news are not in the moneyed kings

fancy, would make very poor news

awake reporters ali over the country.
If something of wide public interest
occurs Ia ASheville the local agent of
the press associations telegraphs it to
some news Centre-not to Wall street
and 1t IS then, without consulting
the "money kings" sent all over the
country if it is important enough.
Moreover these press associations are
watched by some hundreds of intelli-
gent men of all classes and all opin-
ions who instantly protes, if they have
reason to believe that their news is
being doctored. The newspapers
"polltical thought" which the Great
Wcst says is controlled by one man,
very seldom comes by telegraph at all,
but IS the product of the independent
editorial brain and is not meddled
