KING COUNTY SAFE
Over Three Thousand Plurality
for McGraW.
COUNTY OFFICERS GET IN
Republicans OF King County De Nobly
Big Peoples Party vote-Rs-
turns Very Slow.

Az O'Clock q m the returns from King
county are very incomplete In the heavier city
precincts not one-half the ballots had been
counted 1t that hour. The county ticket 10
badly cut up, and the election boards are over
wheimsd. The prospect In that many OF the
precincts will not finish counting by midday
today.
The Indications are that McGraw will 90 out
OF the county with between 1900 and 1900 plu'
raiisy. The returns show in some cases en- ex-
traordinary vose for Mcuraw. Doolittle and
Price ran evenly with the national
ticket, showing that King county kept
faith with Pierce most Loyalty. 1t 10 not
known yet whether the Republicans of Pierce
were more devoted to home than the Democrats
OF King, but there is every reason to believe that
a Mcu,a" mas carried the state. AIhougn .ne
county ticket 10 30 checkered, the Republican
majority is so great that there il little doubt
every man on the ticket has been elected.
When the election boards found the task be-
coming SO intricate and likely to be prolonged
Tor many hours they barricaded the doors so a.
10 De free from interruption and complete the
count more expeditiously. Bothell gives Nc
Graw great plurality and Fremont 10 even
better.
The number OF city precincts which were
completed when the PosT-IN ELLIGENcER went
to press was not sufficient even to form a guess
as to the result, but the great preponderance OF
votes In almost every precinct leaves very little

and 1000 1t will be Thursday morning be
fore the candidates on the county ticket
can know exactly where they stand, although
the Republicans have very little to fear. In
many OF the country precincts where the vote il
comparatively light it was completed at too late
an hour % dispatch the totals. Many Of the
Posr-ISTELIIGENcEE messengers will have to
ride to Seattle on horseback.
