If King county expects to get the
next United States senator she will
have to give Candidate Mead the
usual Republican majority. 1t is
senatorial suicide for King county
to allow bushwhacking politics to
lead her astray. 1t is claimed that
Pierce county is going to go back on
the Republican candidate for gov
ernor and support the Democratic
candidate If such report be true
cannot King county see most de-
cided advantage in giving Mead
some 500 plurality?

Albert E. Mead will defeat George

Owing to the great amount Of talk
that has been going on among the
Democrats and their partisan papers
during the present campaign these
figures may seem even to Republi-
cans rather exaggerated, but I have
studied the situation well and be-
lieve [ will not miss my guess very
far when the votes have been
counted. King county alone will
wipe out any majority that Mr.. Tur-
ner may get in Eastern Washington,
and if the Republicans continue to
gain votes as they have in the past
two weeks or more Turner will not
get more than a bare majority in
Eastern Washington, while Mead
will get all the way from 5000 to
5000 plurality in King county alone.

state is becoming each year more

Joseph Smith, head Of the Mormon
church, was on the rack before the
senate committee for several days and
boastingly admitted that he was liv-
ing with five wives, all Of whom were
bearing him children, in violation Of
both the laws of God and man. When
the head Of the Mormon church ad
mits these things and boasts Of his
intention to continue them, it shows
a pretty rotten condition of affairs in
the church of Latter Day Saints of
Jesus Christ, one not at all fitting
the name The Developments are
confirming the statements of Senator
Dubois made some time ago to the
effect that the high church officials
we're violating the laws regarding
polygamy and interfering in the Pc
litical affairs Of the states Of Idaho
and Utah in the interest of the church
1t is evident that Senator Smoot was
elected as a representative of the Nor
mon church rather than one Of the
people and it begins to look as
though he would lose his seat.
