OLYMPIA, March 8.-fspscial. THE
stalwart attitude taken BY the great ma
jority of Allen men at last nights caucus
has completely disheartened the dark
horse schemers, who have been striving
for weeks to disrupt the Allen forces. The
caucus took their occupation from them.
1t is not longer believed that Q new
candidate can win away any of Aliens
supporters. The few who expressed q
willingness last night to leave the senator
realize the futility of any attempt to elect
. new man. since the firmness and un.
alterable purpose Of the other Allen men
to stand by the majority candidate has
been demonstrated to them. In fact, King
county member who has been reputed to
be desirous Of pushing Judge Humes
to the front stated in the caucus
that he would continue voting for Allen
so long as majority Of his supporters
decided not to abandon him. This was
equivalent to an expression of opinion
that no other man could be elected so long
as from twenty-five to thirty members
voted for Allen. and a. more than forty
expressed purpose in the caucus to stand
in the Allen column to finish or . draw,
the contingency which, would cause the
member referred to to cease voting for
Allen will not arise.
On the other hand it is not believed that
all the members of the minority will refuse
to join the majority Of their party when
the alternative confronts them toward the
end Of the session Of either assisting in
going home to their constituents with
the responsibility upon them of having
prevented the election of Republican
senator by unjustifable refusal to recog-
nixe the binding force Of regular and
orderly party action. Some of the Tur-
nerites, like those from Tacoma, feel that
they are politically safe in pursuing the
course that they are and that, in fact, it
would be injurious to their political ~
pirations to do otherwise, but there
is no such consolation for the
most Of tho Turner men who represent
constituents who are not prejudiced By
hate of Seattle or hostility to Allen. A 10
