licans and Popuiisss. J. p. Stewart. Of
Puyai!up, said today:
.sOf course the Republicans have the
lead by long odds, but II there are too
many Populists elected 10 Office IN this
state II will be bad for financial interests,

ticeabls, as Is the case throughout the
county, that many Democrats are getting
into the Republican party. and some Pop

that block Of about 200 Scandinavians
had gone over 10 the Populists. thus cut
ting down the Republican plurality. bat
most of the scsndinavians are now back
with the Republicans. and are very apt to
remain there permanently.
