TrxoA. Jan. cs-fSpecial. Tho news
nsper correspondent who was here this
week and telegraphed alleged interviews
10 the Spokane press worked hard here all
one day and succeeded in finding four
| men who favored Gen. Turner's candidacy.
! One of them was a Democrat who. by the
wav, says the correspondent lied in report
l ing the interview; two of them were third
I marty men, and the other is Spokane
man who would favor Turner. and he was
the "wild man from Borneo" This is the
extent of Turner's friends here, and
the interviews published in the Spo-
kane papers show up the methods
70 which the Turner gang are resorting.
l There is great cry here for John B. Allen.
and it can truthfully ne stated that there
| are not ten men in this city who would
favor Turner today. Your CORRESPONDENT
! interviewed few business men and
| number of farmers with the result that
every man approached denounced in
round terms the minority that is holding
| out for Turner against the majority. It is
known here tonight that the reports from
!, Colfax to the Tacoma Ledger, regarding
the feelings of the business men. were lies.
The Posi- IYrELLIGENcER's correspondent
/ today obtained the following interviews
with leading citizens:
BE Coffin, member OF the Republican GEN.
| trsl committee: think that the Turner fac.
ton Is holding out against the best interests of
the Republican party and the people of the
state of Washington I believe that the ma.
jorty should rule. and in that event John B
Allen would be promptly elected senator He
is the choice of the people OF this section All
| the talk about Northern Pacific influence is
bosh.
DR.. J. ". Rhodes: spokane's candidate 10
fast bringing about the ruination of the Repub-
lican party in the state in this absurd and I'M
accountable action in holding ont against the
wishes OF the majority of the Republicans at
Olympia and the whole Of the people OF Wash
| !ngton John b. Allen is the man this section
wants.
George d. Brown: believe that the men who
are row supporting George Turner should. as
Republican citizens, at once abandon their can
didate's hopeless campaign and join the major
fig. They are obstructionists aud owe 1t to the
Republican party to cast their votes for Mr.
Allen.

county wants John B. Allen and our representa-
tves at olympia are voting in exact accord with
our wishes. Tho Spokane minority is in the

II. D. Kay: The majority should rule, and il
seems to me that the interests of the party
should be considered before the interests of any
one now. Mr. Turner should at once withdraw
in favor Of the majority, 1t is scnseess TO hold
out longer in opposition to the wishes OF the
j. people.
c. c. Truax: am in favor of Mr.. Allen If he
has a majority with him. and I hone he will
i hold ont until he ~ elected. The Turner men

4 George !. Bell: 1t is foolish for the minority
l to hold out against majority; the majority
| should always rule.
r. J. Mahoney: Put me down a. saying tn at
an standing in favor of majority rule. The

are not five Republicans in the city who do not
favor Dir. Aliens reelection.
