Both the Republicans and Democrats

Large PluraIities.

represents the writer's belief in regard
to the exact conitiops at this time, and
of course neither side expects any great
change in the situation between now
and election. Chirman Coleman sub
mits the following:
"We are Just about to the end of the
campaign, and | have no hesitancy in
giving out a statement regarding the re-
suits to be expected. While the repub-
licans of the county went into the cam
paign with the utmost confidence in the
outcome, all realized that the desired
results were not to be obtained without
work. At this time we are more than
satisfied with the outlook. l am abso-
lutely certain that the republican ticket
will be elected without the loss of a
man, after clean campaign, noticeably
free from Objectionable methods of Sc
curing votes.
yakima county will give the Roose-
welt electors a plurality of at least 1900,
perhaps more. The committee does not

gressional candidates 60 below $50 or
900, and that of Mr.. Jones will be even
greater Mead will be given plurality
of at least 500, and many believe it will
60 hundred better. His chances have
been getting better every day for the
past month, when the people began to
get at the truth relative to the respect
F, i've attitudes of the two candidates for
the goNernorship in regard to the rail-
road commission.
Fl. Z. Rigg will have majority over
Mr.. Preble for the superior judgeship OF
| fully 500, which result will not be due
to campaigning on the part OF Mr.. Rigg,
who believes that the character of the
office for which he was nominated did
not permit the solicitation of votes. Our
senator and representatives. will be
elected by pluralities ranging from 500
to 500.
I'VE concede that the closest contest
will be over the office of cheriff. but
recent close poll OF the entire county
and the rapid gains made by Mr.. Web
Der within the past few weeks warrant
the assertion that he will be elected and
by very satisfactory majority.
"All of the other candidates on the
republican ticket are certain of election
by pluralities or majorites ranging from
500 to 800, and much wider margins in
some instances would not be surprising.
u. y. COLEMAN,
Chairman Republican County Com
mittee."
The statement furnished by Chairman
Snively is as follows;
"In response to The Herald's request
that l give it my judgment on the re-
suits of the coming election in Yakima
county on next Tuesday, | have to sub
NIT you the following as my best judg-
ment thereof:
"The Roosevelt electors will have a
plurality varying little from 1900 in the
county; the republican congressional
ticket will run behind the Roosevelt
electors some hundred votes, possibly as
much as 400.
"In relation to the governorship, a
painstaking canvass of this county in
dictates that not less than 500 Roosevelt
supporters are outspoken in their sup
port OF Senator Turner for governor.
About 200 more who have been APP
preached by democratic canvassers are
non-committal. We count at least one
half of them for Turner; | think it
would be safe to say all of them will
vote for him. Turner will also get a
large number of socialist votes.
81 put the total vote of the county at
300. think the socialists and prohi-
bitionists will poll an unusually large
vote in this county this year for presi-
dent, particularly the probibitionists,
though outside of president they will
poll very few votes for state and county
officers.
"The Parker electors will not have
less than 1000 votes. TIE Roosevelt
electors will have not over 2200 votes /;
Mead's vote will not exceed 1900 in the
county; Turner's vote will not be less
than 1900, with every probability that
it will be more. This would give Turner
600 plurality in the county, and in my
judgment he will have every one of this
number.
"The entire state democratic ticket
and the democratic legislative ticket, in
my judgment, will run very little il any
behind Turner. While | wish you to
