National Republican Ticket is Strong
Prospect for Republican Victory
in Montana.

Seattle, June 3O.-Alex Mckenzie, a
wealthy capitalist of Bismarck, N. D.,
is registered at the Butler. He is en-
route to the far North to look after
some properties in which he is inter-
ested and expects to sail for Nome
about July 1.
THE passage of the new Alaskan
CODE" he said at the Butler last night,
means much to Seattle and the state
Of Washington. It has assured cap
italists that their investments will be
secure; that law and order will pre-
vail, and that they have an equal
chance there now with every other
man. 1t will mean the investment of
thousands Of dollars in that district
the benefit of all of which must come
to this city.
Il am much pleased with the pres
ent national republican ticket and am
assured it will poll heavily in many Of
the western states found wrong in the
count four years ago. North Dakota
will give a republican majority of 12,-
600 to $4,000. Minnesota will 20 re-
publican.
ION my way to the coast l spent sew
eral days in Montana and was much
interested in the complex situation
there. There is every prospect that
that state will go republican this fall.
The situation is just this. The Daily
and Clark branches of democracy are
at war. If it is possible Clark will get
a seat in the United States senate.
DAILY will never give up the fight and
when every other esource is ex-
hausted, then DAILY will throw his
strength with the republican party,
which will insure the carrying of the
state by the republicans and the return
OF Carter to lie senate. This state
should be interested in the return of
Carter. He is not only one Of the
very brightest minos in congress, but
a splendid friend of the entire west.
He demonstrated that in his Alaska
civil code bill.
THE Pacific coast states, l under
stand, can safely be counted in the re-
publican column. Washington and
Oregon at least will be, and of Cali
fornia we are almost certain. There
is no reason why they should not be.
To the coast expansion means every
thing. You already had a taste OF
the trade that awaits you. But the
new business you are enjoying has but
begun. With continued prosperity
under the republican party, the new
trade of the Pacific will be the chief
factor in making Seattle and the state
of Washington one Of the greatest
trade centers in the world, for export
business. The who're Pacific coast
will benefit and therefore it is to the
interest Of these states to roll up a
large majority for Mckinley and
Roosevelt.
In the western states, back of the
Pacific coast, the outlook is bright.
There is every prospect of 81 wheat
before fall. 1t is true this will be
brought about partly on account of a
shortage in the Minnesota and North
Dakota crops, but there is another fac
tor which is to aio the farmer is the
general prosperity of the country. We
are using more wheat today than ever
The people car afford to pay for it,
and this state of affairs, together with
the shortage, will bring wheat up to 81.
This prosperity is what makes the
farmers vote the republican ticket
and the farmers elect presidents"
