Another cause for gloom At the Demo
cratic state headquarters II the rsaiiza-
ton that hundreds OF Democratic voters
are certain 70 quietly cast their ballots
for President Mckinley because they
know that the administrators policy in
the Orient means the development OF
washington and the Pacific coast on q
gigantic scale. The patriotic utterances
on the expansion question Of Judge w.
H. White, OF Gov. Rogers himself before
ne sacrificed his convictions in order TO
ut the Kansas City platform. OF Rob-
ertson and Ronald before they were nom
mated, have not been forgotten BY the
independent Democratic voters. They
also remember that after Candidate
Bryan's tour through Washington last
April. the very men who are now leading
the nght for Rogers admitted with no
attempt at conceaiment that there was
not even The ghost Of show 70 carry
Washington on the bogus issue Of i'm

plain insincerfty In regard to the Phil

voters have not forgotten that II was

At the Democratic county headquarters
every candidate on the county ticket has
been practically shelved save Walter
Fulton and Ed Cudihee. Recent polls
made by the county committee have COM
WINGED Chairman Alien that there Ii no
chance Of carrying King county for
either Bryan or Rogers.
Two weeks ago there was probably Z
real sentiment Of hope In the breasts Of
the Democratic county managers that It
might be possible to pull Cudlhee ana
Fulton through. This hope has been
dashed TO the earth by the Indications.
which are growing stronger every day.
that King county will give 1000 majority
and over for Mckinley and Frink. The
Democratic county managers have been
forced to acquire tho knowledge that II
II TO be Republican landslide in all
parts OF the state. and their hopes have
been dashed to earth.
After the hrst chilling knowledge Of
certain defeat was received = week ago,
there was spasmodic rally In which the
Democratic papers were inveigied into
printing great stories filied with false
statements. false claims and blufinR. II
WAS = desperate hops that led Chairman
Allen and his associates to undertake to
block with straw the mighty current Of
Republication, Cudihee workers were
semi hither and thither to start ana cir
culate stories OF disafection among Re-
publicans IN the sherfffr fnht The most
outrageous forms Of misrepresentation
and abuse were resorted ia. The force Of
these frantic and untimeiy efforts has
bean exhausted now and with election
four days away. there IL left only the
realisation that not = candidate on the
Democratic county ticket can he saved
from the wreck.
