years ago the meniserf OF all parties are
Tepndihting the practiesf u the fusion Of

campaign on false issues and that they
are endeayoring 10 hide their real position
from the people. This Is especially true

puted that the fusion party stands pledged
10 open tho laws Of the state To the theories
Of the single takers. No one who reads the
Ealensburg platform can deny this and
the singls tax leaders themselves are not
even making . pretease OF denying IL.
'sThk fact has done much for our cause
among the agricultural districts Of the
eastern part Of the state. as well az with

II have no doubt that the state ticket
will carry by a good safe majority and
that Republican legislature will be
elected"

Mr.. knickerbocker yesterday. Il am thor
ouxhly confident that King county will
give the stale ticket a handsome majority,
while every one OF our county candidates
will be elected. with plenty Of votes 70
spare. Our poll of the county reveals
great dissatisfaction among the fuslonists
with their candidates. Altogether. I am
more than pleased with the outlook"
