and Pierce counties, and this is very doubt

hight tor him in Pierce, which he will hardly
do under the circumstances.
Speaking about congressional nomi-
tlons, in all of the counties that have
held conventions, Jones and Cushman have
been endorsed, andno mention has been made
OF Congressman Humphrey, which, from
King county standpoint, forebodes no polit-
ical good. If King county desires to have
any representation whatever in the next con-
gress it behooves her to begin to hustle for
Humphrey, or he will be defeated before he
ever starts. IF Cushman and tones both
stand by Humphrey he will win out, but if
they leave him to his fate and can succeed
in having themselves nominated despite
Humphreys opposition, or despite any COM

POLITICAL POT=PIE

The question Of how the delegates to the
state Convention as we'll as the delegates to
the next Legislature will be instructed will
be one of the problems of the King county
conventions. The Piles committee is holding
out for iron-clad instructions for Sam H.
Piles for United States senator's; and it is
further contending that he, Piles, be given
the us delegates to the next state conven-
tiaon to trade as he sees fit for his own ad-
vancement. This does not meet with public
approval little bit, although it is believed
at this writing that the Piles committee
will be able to force such a resolution
through the county convention. The Piles
committee has been permitted to name the
most of the legislative nominees in the vari-
Gus districts without interference, and it is
presumed they are Piles men as long as
there is any show for him to be elected, and,
therefore, Mr.. Piles should not expect any
greater support than this. If the delegation
is tied tip to him by iron-c1ad instructions
as former delegations have been the lead
ing politicians of this and other counties de-
clare it means the defeat of King county in
getting United States senator.
The proposition that meets with general
approval throughout the state and county
is that the instructions be for "King coun-
ty man" without naming any individual in
that connection. This, it is argued, will
make it possible for some one else to get
into the senatorial fight in case Mr.. Piles
cannot get the required amount of outside
strength to assure his election Both Sena-
tor Wilson and Hon. Jacob Furth have con-
siderable outside strength, and Mr.. Wilson
claims that he can bring to King county
more votes for himself than King county
herself has but can not deliver them to Mr..
Piles under any circumstances, and unless
K1ng county agrees to vote for him, it would
mean the absolute defeat of King countv's
aspirations to send man to the senate.
Ibis the friends and advocates of Mr.. Piles
give little credence to, but it would be we'll
to keep the thing open to see whether Mr.
Wilson's prediction is or is not correct. IF
1t actually transpires that he has the votes
that he says he has, political history would
repeat itself by King county being herself
responsible for losing another opportunity
OF electing man to the United States sem
ate.
Within the past week Spokane county has
held her county convention and Governor
Mcbride won out by a splendid majority
and instead of getting half of that de1ega-
tion as was predicted by the Pie-maker
some weeks ago, he will get the entire forty
nine votes. He, however lost the votes of
son, and it is highly probable that he will
also lose many of the other Eastern Wash
lngton counties, which will weaken his can
dldacy very materially. After the loss of so
many of the counties in Eastern Washing
ton, in order for him to stand any show of
being nominated, he must carry Whatcom
