AS SEEN BY OTHERS.
Washington Senatorial Situation. as Viewed
at National Capital.

"Washington is in the heat of an eX-
States senate which will be vacated by
Senator Turner next year." said Mr.. W.
l.. Dudley, OF Seattle, WASH, at the
| Raleigh Hotel. "Seattle and King county
have decided that the new member OF
the United States senate must be a King
county man. Harold Preston is the
candidate whom the people in the Vi
entity OF Seattle will support.
"lion. John l.. Wilson, of Spokane, for
mcrly Il member OF the United States
senate, is confident that he will again be
sent to the senate, and Levi Ankeney, of
Walla Walla, is equally confident OF sue
cess. Both OF these men are very wealthy
and are said to be ready to spend large
sums OF money in their campaigns.
"Much depends on the candidates who
are elected to the legislature this fall,
and consequently the wire pulling has
been going on for some time. The state
is already in the throes OF the fall cam
paign. OF course, most OF the people in
our section hope to see Il Seattle man
sent to the senate, but the odds are
greatly against Seattle and King county.
The influence welded by Wilson and
Ankeney is powerful, and one of the two
men will probably land the plum.
Seattle people are very anxious to
have q Seattle man in the senate. The
city is growing SO rapidly and is so much
larger than any other city in the state,
that its people feel they are entitled to
one OF the members in the upper branch
OF congress. Seattle already has larger
foreign tonnage than San Francisco, and
is becoming such an important shipping
point that it deserves excellent treat
ment at the hands of the government.
Settlers are pouring into Washington at
the rate OF $4,000 year, and Seattle is
the chief distributing point for the
state. "-Washington, D. c., Post, May
49,
