yesterday:
Wherever I have spoken during the

meetings. and this Is also true OF all the
other Republican meetings in the state The
most marked interest and desire for in-
formation upon the various subjects at

part OF all the people. When the campaign
Sirss opened the outlook for the success OF
the Republican party In this state was
anything but cheering but the Republicans
have gotten together and have created a
gnasnincent organization In every county
and every precinct In the state.

pendent upon his labor IN the forest or
the mines for his living can vote for MI

what is the outlook for the Repub-
lean legislative ticket in the northwest
portion Of the slater"
MY Judgment based upon careful ex-
animation and close inquiry Is that we
viii elect two legislators in Jefferson coun-
~ three or four in Whatcom county. one.
or possibly two. In Skagit county. and
three in Snohomish. There Is no question
in my mind. but that the Republicans VIII
control the next state legislature by a

counties are carried by the majoritles
that We hope for, the entire state ticket
win be elected.
II am earnestly solicitous that the cleo
toral ticket Of the state may be thrown
for Maj. Mckinley. From my point of
view. to have Washington In the Repub-
licar column viii be Of inestimabie value
TO all of our people. Once have II settled
in the minds Of the Eastern people that
the people of this state are In favor Of
sound government and sound money. II
viii attract capitalists and i'm migrants to
a greater degree than we are led at first
finnce TO believe. To place our state along
With Kansas and Colorado IL seems TO me.
you'd affect us In the same manner that
has them.
Il expect 10 start for Washington City
about November 10 surely not later than
the 18th Congress will assemble on the
first Monday In December. IL will hold
only short session. and desire to reach
the capital at ~ early date as possible

OF the people Of this state. / wish TO for

VIII there be an extra session OF con-

II am inclined TO think that President
Mckinley viii call an extra session of
congress Immediately after his Inaugural
ton ON the 9Th OF March. although have
