KING COUNTY SWEPT ny BRYAN.
NE win Come 10 the Cascades with
Handsome Majority.

Seattle, Wash. Nov. THE entire fu-
sion ticket has been elected in this coun-
ty. Bryan and Rogers have also carried
It. These predictions may be made with
perfect safety. Returns ars still incom-
plete, but the majority will. Il Is reason
ably safe 10 say De from so and up
wards. Hume5 may cut the majority
against him to 80. He and Nandevanter
appear TO be running ahead Of sullivan
and the national ticket. but there IS no
chance for either 20 win. The probAoil.-
ties are that Bryan will carry the county
by from 100 TO 100 and Rogers VIII not be
far behind him. Vandevanter and Humcs
each concede their defeat. Bryan has
probably carried Seattle by 4 small ma
iority.

On the legislative tickets there Is only
one republican elected from the entire
district east OF the Cascade mountains.
The Pierce and King county delegations
are heavily peoples party. 1t is probable
that there will be a working majority in
both upper and lower houses. With a
peoples party governor. there will be no
atop to needed legislation.
