being as large as was hoped for by Ae man

is comparatively little interest in the State
ticket, as only two minor officers are to
be voted fora Treasurer and Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction. As to the
legislative districts, however, which will
choose twenty-six hold-over State Senators
who will assist in the naming of successor
20 United States Senator Culom and the
twenty-one Congressional districts, the con-
test has been lively. The Republicans ex-

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 7.-Washington
will tomorrow elect two congressman at
large, two justices of the supreme court and
a legislature which will choose successor
to United States Senator John l.. Wilson,
Republican. Two amendments to the state
will also be voted on, one pro-
viding for women suffrage, the other for
taxation. There are four tickets
in the field, the Republican, the Peoples
party, the Prohibition and the Social labor.
The indications tonight are that the result
will be very close between the Peoples
party, which is the fusion of Populists,
Democrats and Silver Republicans, and the
with the odds slightly in favor
of the Peoples party ticket. They enter the
contest with the prestige of $1,000 plurality
two years ago. The registration this year
indicates that the total vote will be from
1000 to 10000 less than two years ago. Both
parties claim the legislature by good work
ing majority. The claims tonight on the
state ticket are: Fusionists, 5000 to $4,000;
Republican, 1000 to 1000.

The Republican and Democratic state
shairmen concede Swallow from 100000 to
100000 votes, and each claims that his re-
spective candidat1 will be the only one to
receive over 100000 votes. The Republican
chairman claims l35,0O0 plurality for Stone
while the Democratic chairman figures out
a pluarlity of $4,000 for jerks. The Prohi-
'bition chairman claims $4,000 plurality for
Swallow.
In the congressional contests it is gener-
ally believed the Democrats will be success
ful in four or five districts now represented
by Republicans. The present delegation to
congress from the state is now composed of
twenty eight Republicans and three Demo-
Gratis but personal or factional elements
have entered into the contest in some OF the
districts which will in all probability result
in placing a few of them in the Democratic
column.
The new legislature will elect United
States senator to succeed Senator Quay. The
present legislature has a joint Republican
majority of 172 out of membership of 254.
Ex-Postmaster General John Wanamaker
has stumped the state thoroughly urging
voters to aid in the defeat of legislative can
didates known to favor Quay's election and
in many districts fusion candidates have
been placed in the field in opposition to the
regular Republican nominees.
While there is no reason to doubt that the
Republicans will have a strong working ma
jority in the next legislature, fair predic-
ton of the number of anti-Quay legislators
to be chosen can scarcely be ventured upon
tonight. Twenty-Five of the fifty senator's
hold over, twenty-four of whom are Repub-
licans. For the lower house the full men,
bership of 2O4 will be chosen tomorrow.
