McKiniey's majority in this state VIII pc
anywhere from i2.eoo to LANDSLIDE.
Thousands OF Democrats who are AFRAID
of Bryan's policy will vote for the Re-
publican electors. and for the balance or
the ticket will support the nominees or
their own party. This will swell the vote
for the national ticket to an aonormaiiy
high figure
state ticket is assured, but by a smaller
majority The vote on the state ticket
VIII represent the real party strength.
and II is this vote which we are covering
in our poll. We know of the heavy Demo-
cratic vote that will be received by the
Republican electors, but we claim none
of this for the state ticket. although We
wifi undoubtedly receive much or II.
Democratic Cause Hopeless.
There is no way that the Democrats
can logically figure out victory In the
state of Washington. They concede us
a majority In Western Washington. but
claim that their vote east OF the noun
tains will be sufficient to overcome this.
We will carry both Eastern and Western
Washington. and the results of our poll
Indicate that the majority on the otner
side OF the mountains will rival that on
this side.
In 1898 great Republican gains were
made in Eastern Washington. and such
losses as we sustained were In western
Washington. In 1896 Klickitat was the
only Eastern Washington county not car
ried by the Populists. Two years ago we
reversed things and made an almost
clean sweep, Spokane county alone
changing from 1000 fusion majority to 500
for the Republican ticket In Whitman
county we cut down majority almost as
big to seventy-seven We made good
showing in Western Washington. but no
such gains as this.
IAN reports this year are to the enect
that we have lost no ground In Eastern
Washington but, on the contrary. have
been steadily gaining. We have not poll
ed precinct that does not show larger
Republican vote than in 1898. We will
not lose county that we gained then.
and are lighting hard to make It a clean
sweep.
1T is admitted that this Is Republic
an year In Western Washington. The
state ticket viii go up to the mountains
with at least $500 majority. We will
carry Snohomish. Mason. Clallam and ev-
cry other county west OF the mountains.
We concede Ekamania to Bryan, but will
carry 1t for Frink. as Rogers IL so thor
oughly unpopular there that he will not
get fifty votes In the county.
ANY way that the matter can be fig
ured. we have the Democratic state ticket
beaten. Our majority will not be less
than 5000, and probably will be nearer
10000. This Is making liberal discount
from the polls. which have been conserv-
atfvely made and should be accuRte."
