publican in Lincoln county Is awake and
doing good work for the cause. The Popu-
lists on the other hand. are without any

which leaves the Populists to support
either their OWE or the Republican ticket.

The hardest fight will be made for repre-

stronzes: men of their respective parties.
The result VIII be very close, but the odds
are in favor OF the Republican candidate.

Okan0Ran County.
In none OF the sparsely populated coun-
ties will a better showing Of Republican
gains be made than IN Okanogan. The

iority OF ~. though there is some hope OF
electing a Republican TO the legislature.
Pacific County.
Chairman w b. Ssrat,on Is not looking
AT the situation through the eyes OF an
opt.mlst when he says: In my opinion the
Republican candidates for supreme Judges
congress=men, state senator and state rep
resentaeve will receive majority In this
county or AT least 80 votes. About / $50
votes WILL be cast. We elect but one rep
resentative from this county. So far in
the campaign very little enthusiasm has
been displayed by either the Republicans
or fusionis,s. The Republican county
ticket. we think, VIII be elected by ma
jority OF 500.
Pierce County.
Chairman Fremont Campbell has made a.
strong campaign in Pierce county. He
writes:
From careful. conservative poll of the
county We will carry IL by majority OF
SAD We expect TO elect nearly the entire
Republican legislative ticket, as well as
the entire county ticket.
The Republicans are enthusiastic. and
both parties are active.
the Republican state and congress. or a |
ticket Will keep pace with the county and
legislative ticket. except. Of course. that
there may be Instances on the county
ticket where some candidates may Lead the
ticket, Such. you will understand. is in
varIabiy the case
San Juan County.
The Republicans carried San Juan coun-

these figures should be increased this year.
