more fact. have been brought to the sur
face. which indicate that Wallace has
totally abandoned the state campaign. and
that If there is to be any work IN that
direction it vii. have to be brought about
largely through the efforts Of the slaughter
house candidates on the state ticket, mas
much as il appears that Wallace Is run
ming the state committee in the interest OF
q complimentary vote for himself for the
United States senate.
For instance: The state COMMITTEES has
not gone ahead and arranged for state
campaign; assignments hsve not been
made for speakers: all the funds bled from
Federal offcsholders are needed for candi-
dates for the state legislature. who viii
vote for Wallace.
Indeed, staunch Steve Judson,
Chauncey Griggs-oa.meal man hereto
fore, has conceived the idea that it is
powder wasted to work for the state ticket
so long as there are three state tickets in
the field, and wise Mr.. Judson adds:
1.-THE Populists in this state are unlike
country. They are strictly in the middle
of the road. They won't fuse. Candidates
may be withdrawn here and there, but as
70 fusion there will be none"
And the question arises. how much as
sistance is Judson getting in his senatorial
fight from the sixth floor of the Fidelity
Trust building. where Wallace 10 engaged
upon q working drawing of the campaign
by countiesf OF course it Is understood
that Wallace gives no assistance to iegis-
laiive candidates who do not enthuse for
bus plimentary vote for senator.
But as to the state campaign. Cation
has been here trying to get some assign
ments from the state committee. so that
he might go on the stump in the interest
of the state campaign. Orthodox Demo-
Gratis consider il bad enough that Mr..
Cation had to come and insist upon getting
his assignments, but the fact is that
although he had been here three days he
has got but the scant acknowledgment
that he could speak at Port Angeles and
Port Townsend. Here are Judge Cations
own words alter leaving the state commit
tees rooms:

paign is concerned?"

make two speeches q day If / were as
signed to do so and could be taken from
one place TO another in time. IwoL't

ITO sum up. does 1t look as If there was
to be much of a state campaign"
I'VE can only hope now 10 cover q few
of the leading points. / will work on this
side and Houston on the east side. We
will both speak here Monday night. I
guess, and both of us will probably speak
together at Seattle later. That is all can
say about the campaign"
1t is understood that Judge Cation had
to insist upon being given assignments.
He expected that he would get his assign
ments today sure. and later he was told to
come around in the morning." Wsllace's
Tillicums, who have made up their minds
to sidetrack the state ticket and trade it
off in the interest of Wallace's coveted
complimentary vote. have more than met
their match in Judge Cation. He is deter
mined to make the run for congress de-

ton, is conveniently or otherwise sick,
and the orthodox Democrats, of oatmeal
stripe, have little hope that anything will
be done under Wallace's control, save the
supporting those legislative candidates
who will stand by the chief on that coveted
complimentary vote.
What is worse. they are Disguised with
the North Yakima convention, and now it
has turned ont just as they predicted. viz !:
THAT the Federal officehoders proceeded
at Wallace's beck and call, and they nomi-
mated a state ticket for slaughter house
purposes. and now they are contributing
their mite to Chief Wallace to carry out
his plan 10 abandon the state ticket and
the state campaign in the interest of the
complimentary vote and fusion"
