REPUBLICAN TICKET WINNER
From King County and Every Other
County Come Predictions of Victory.

From King County and Every Other
County Come Predictions of Victory.
Ii anyone thinks this is not RepubIi-
can year let him walk around the hotel
verandas and interview residents of the
interior counties and outside precincts of
King county. Four out of every five are
Republicans and predict success for the
ticket of their respective counties. They
say the Populisis are making great deal
of noise and talk. but that is about ali.
The experience of Clailem aud other
counties, where Populists have reigned,
has served TO make hosts of voters return To
the Republican party. w. Il. Gay. who
has made careful canvass of the entire
county and who has made ten speeches in
outside precincts. predicts a majority of'at
least ! 800 for the entire ticket. Following
are few of the expressions of opinions;
w. r. Gay: Il have made ten speeches
in the county aud have always had good
audiences and have come in contac. with
a large number of people. / have never
yet met a Democrat who was satisfied with
the spotted egg ticket or Endorsed its
makeup. My impression is that the Re-
publicans' only competitor is the straight
Populist ticket. Conservative Democrats
believe that the success of Popuiism will
u
blight upon it's prosperity, and scores of
them told me that they proposed to vote
the Republican ticket, especially tor Nit
ten, HASTE and the legislative ticket, in
order to preserve the county from suen
disgrace. NY prediction Is that the Re-
publican ticket will have $50 MAJORITY"
j. c. Colvin, of Kent: II believe the
entire ticket is composed of the very best
men in the county. Don't worry about
the White river valley. There won't he
any votes against Van de Nanter down
there, and Dr. Mitten. Thomas W. Gordon
and John Wooding will not be disap-
pointed when the returns come in. Ii any
precinct beats them we will save them TO
the service of the county by the malorities
that we will give them TO spare"
l.. A. Void, the well-gnown hon grower
of Gilman: II have been Republican
all my life and always will be one. | be-
lisve the entire ticket at Gilman will
receive a good majority. The people NJ
that precinct are thoroughly aroused and
will vote strong for the Republican ticket.
believing II To be the only honest way OF
securing good county government. DIR.
Mitten will poll big vote. the people not
wishing to put in man ike Maple, thus
going through another krug seance. You
can put Gilman down for good, round
majority for the entire ticket"
]. B. Knox, the weliSknown farmer of
right for the Republican ticket. and We
vii. send representatives - the legislature
beyond a doubt. The Populists are max
ing lots OF talk. but We are getting in
recruits from their side every dav. The
Democrats don't figure much. The
farmers in that section know very well
which do them the most good. and will
vote almost as a unit for the Republican
ticket"
J. T.. Moore, a well-known lumber dealer
of Utsalady. Island county: I'm my
county things look very encouraging for
Republican success this year. our county
always has gone Republican, and will go
that way this year by big majority. Our
ticket is frst-elass and hard 10 beat. Every
man on it will be elected. IL wouldn't do
tn have Populist legislature and send q
PETER from this state.
J. Robertson, the well-known produce
broker OF Coupeville: Il have been a
Democrat all my lite but this year and
from now on | will be found in the Re-
publican ranks. | have been around the
State pretty much during the past month,
and the Republicans are far IN the lead
everywhere | am positive that the ticket
will win ia my county. Island, and pnt an
end to these Popuiist chickering's. Those
fellows are on the run everywhere.
