country precincts" said Mr.. Morris yes

state and national ticket majorities great

showing up even better than the country.
King county will be the banner Rspubn-

more votes than ever before in our his

--even the fusionista concede this. The
county ticket will be safely elected by
natorities ranging from | 200 10 1000 ard
upward. This Is conservative estimate.
and Is based on actual facts obtained for
the confidential use of the committee"
Chairman Morris spent Saturday after
noon and evening at Black Diamond.

ton In that end of the county. He has
received reports from party workers from
other sections of the county, made by
reliable men who were instructed TO be
conservative In all their calculations and

while their county ticket as whole would
be defeated yet they expected TO elect
one or two men. The truth OF the matter
= that the Republican voters will give
their loyal support to every man on the
county ticket, because the candidates are
wei known and tried men and arc better
