The King county executive committee of the
Prohibition party has challenged tho Repub-
licans. Democrats and Populists to discuss the
issues of the campaign once q week from now
to election. The Peoples party is said to be
anxious to take up the challenge. Its members

some diverson IL needed.
J. Hannum Jones. editor Of the Nooksack Re-
porter, was in the city yesterday on his way to
the Tacoma exposition. He says that the Re-
publicans are sure OF a good majority in What
com county. The Peoples and Prohibition par
ties will draw slightly from the old parties, but
the new votes will about balance them. The
Republicans arc well organised, in fact they
have . more thorough practical organization
than they ever had before, and have com leted
the details for q hot campaign "The canal
question is accepted a. . party issue aud 10 re-
garded as one OF the most just and righteous
planks in the platform" he concluded.
Hon Frank Richards, of whatcom, one of the
harbor line commissioners, is stopping at the
Diller. on his way home from q meeting OF the
commission at Olympia. Said he to q reporter
yesterday: "McGraw will carry our county and
run ahead OF the ticket The Democrats are not
in it in our county; they have been absorbed
by tho Peoples party, who are the only ones
that will give US any trouble. The Democrats
seem to be disorganized and demoraiized
throughout the whole state. AS for the canal,
/ don't think 1t will cut much OF figure out
side of King and Pierce counties, and there
won't be q very great difference In the total vote
for governor and president" The Republicans
will open the campaign at Whstcom Monday
night, when Attorney General Jones will speak
there
Hon. George B. Walker, q member OF the pres.
ent legislature from this county. but now man.
ager OF the Culver gold mine, In Kittitas county.
is in the city. Mr.. Walker is an earnest and
active Republican, having been a member of the
party ever since the breaking out OF the re-
bellion. He states that the Republican party in
his section is in nrst-class condition and that It
will roll up big vote for Harrison and McGraw.
Z" Mr.. McGraw's nomination was unexpected
said Mr.. Walker, "out 1t was received with un-
bounded satisfaction, and his candidacy has
grown in strength among our people from tho
day of the nomination. There is no man in the
state Of Washington whom l would more gladly
support for the office OF governor than Mr. Nc
Graw. for know him to be capable, honest and
steadfast to possess, in fact, all the Qualiflca-
tions which are necessary to q governor of q
great state. You may look for Q good report
from our county in November, and you may be
assured that McGraw's vote there will attest hi,
popularity among the miners"
