Another thing which has made the fu-
sion managers cease TO talk about Cudi-
hees majority Is the great increase in
city registration. The new voters are
conceded to be Republicans. who win
vote the straight Republican ticket. That
was demonstrated in limited way at
the recent city election. Meade Emory,

was found that Emory was moro than
didate FOR mayor. Cudihee will probably
do better than that, but those familiar
with political conditions in King coun-
ty are unanimous in the belief that Van
De Vanter will be elected by handsome
majority.
