Good Work Of Committee.
Notwithstanding the defeat of Sheriff
Van De vanter and Mr.. White for prose-
cutting attorney, the results Of the cleo
tion In King county constitute decisive
victory for the Republican cause. Five
Of the six legislative districts elect Re-
publicans to the next legislature. All
the county officers-elect are Republicans.
with the exception of sheriff and prose-
cutting attorney.
In the next Legislature sixteen of the
nineteen members from King county will
be Republicans. Two years ago the
delegation contained fourteen Republic
ans and five fusionists, so that there has
been a net Republican gain Of two men,
bers.
These facts were summed up in a state
ment yesterday by Campaign Manager
Morris. OF the Republican county COM
mittee.
mo one can possibly regret the defeat
of Sheriff Van De Vanter and Mr.. White
and of Senator Frink more than the MEM
bers of the Republican county commit
tee" said Mr.. Morris. But We have much
to rejoice in. We have carried all save
two Of the county offices, and the dele
cation to the legislature Is Republican,
with the exception of three members.
two Of them elected by the Democrats
in the Thirty-eighth district. and one,
King county has furnished Mckinley
over 1000 plurality, as compared with
fusion plurality of approximately 1000
four years ago. The normal Republican
majority In this county is thus estab-
lished at between 1900 and 1000 on ma
tional issues. OF course. on county ofhces
the majorities are much smaller Our
poll before the election was taken on
the national ticket. and the vote on Tues
day showed that we were very close to
the facts. l had estimated that we
would carry every candidate on the coun-
ty ticket through by between 500 and 1000
majority. The average majority of those
elected will be over 500, according to my
figures.
THE county committee will wind up
its business tomorrow. We viii not owe
one dollar when the headquarters are
closed have enjoyed the work of this
campaign immensely. Mr.. Whitaker has
been invaluable as secretary of the COM
mittee. He has worked Loyalty and most
efficiently. Mr.. Goddard, the treasurer,
has sacrificed his time and business TO
the necessities OF the campaign and has
worked early and late. He has man
aged the finances of the committee splen-
didly. Mr. Inglis. Mr.. Emery and the
other workers at headquarters have been
faithful and efficient. and a most con-
genial lot of men to work with. To all
Of them Is due a large measure OF the
success won at the election by the Re
pubicans"
OF Mr.. Morris work. 1t is the universal
expression among Republicans that he
has been most energetic and competent
campaign manager. He has worked early
and late from the beginning 60 the end
of the campaign. and 1t is the general
consensus of opinion among Republicans,
Including the candidates on the ticket,
that his work could hardly have been
improved upon.
