Seattle, Wash, Aug. 25.-The fusion po-
Htical situation almost on the eve of the
state conventions is mixed up The lead
ing candidates for governor are John r.
Rogers and Charles Voorhees,. While A.
V. FawCett of Pierce county has not for
mally Withdrawn from the race. it is I'M
derstOod that his failure TO do so is a
desire to hold together his supporters. in
the hope that their united strength will
go to some other candidate and against
Governor Rogers.
Many delegates are talking of James
Hamilton Lewis, but he is pronounced in
his declaration that he is not candidate
and would not accept the nomination.
Today Governor Rogers seemed TO be
the leading candidate. and his supporters
and managers say they are satisfied he
will be nominated. Tonight however, the
opposition TO the Rogers slate seem to be
uniting on Voorhees,. He is opposed by
Senator Turner, but seems to be in high
favor elsewhere.
1t is about conceded that Governor
Rogers has a majority of the Democratic
convention. The Populists seem bitter in
their opposition 10 him, and there is much
talk that if he is successful an independ-
ent ticket will be in the field. The Rog-
