CAMPAIGN OUTLOOK FROM
LABOR STANDPOINT

Apparently but little local inter-
est is being taken in the election
by merchants and business men
generally. Some Of the corpora
tons secured nominations satisfac-
tory to themselves, but have taken
but little active part in the cam
paign, it is stated, beyond the usual
contributions.
The union labor vote of the state
would appear to be big factor in
the present fight and If the work
Ing men stand with the American
Federation Of Labor there is rea-
son to believe that the big republi-
can majorities of the past will be
cut down to a greater extent than
for years past.
The slums Of all the cities in the
state are well registered and will
as a rule support the republican
ticket in order to claim protection
and any other favors which are so
necessary to this element from the
dominant party.
The farmers grange has made an
active campaign and has worked
for the first time in the history Of

SPOKANE COUNTY
FORECASTS

AT Spokane republican head
quarters there Is an air of con-
fidence in regard to the election to-
morrow. Chair Pugh said that the
county had a normal republican
majority of 1900 and he felt GER
tain that the ticket would receive
the republican vote and would be
elected by better majority than
last state election when Judge
Turner was a candidate for COVER
nor and drew considerable
strength. Mr.. Pugh said he had
not the slightest doubt but that the
ticket would be elected from top
to bottom by safe majorities.
Republican state headquarters at
Seattle claims the state by 10000.
The normal republican majority is
placed at 10000, but a falling off in
registration is expected on account
of this being an off year.
II. d. Merritt, secretary Of the
Spokane democratic county central
committee, claimed the county for
his ticket today. He said that the
democrats would come to the city
with $50 majority and would carry
the city by 1850 majority. 1--WE
have reason to believe that we will
receive every vote cast for Daggett

MOSES AMONG US
SAYS JUDGE

Judge Macdonald, a warrior of
might and main in the palmy popu-
listic days and still imbued with
his old time vigor, Is either over

dents action in sending members
of his cabinet out into the cam
paign field or the judge is sarcastic

he said when Tafts visit to Idaho
was mentioned:
at is eminently proper for the
president of the United States to
have any person discharged from
office who exhibits 'pernicious' po-
litical activity in any community,
and certainly no one should ques-
ton his right to fine and suspend
a mail clerk for expressing his
opinion as to the condition of the
Great Northern track, as was done
recently in Spokane.
Men holding such positions as
postmaster and United State land
officers are not supposed to know
enough to intelligently take part in
a state campaign. and an ordinary
mail clerk should not entertain an
opinion of any kind. If he has an
opinion he should keep 1t to him
self or take his medicine in sus-
pension and fine.
But the people of the United
States have always needed some In
ff hible person to state the issues of
a local campaign and to instruct
the voter in the way he should so.
This long felt want has at last
been supplied. President Roose-
welt and his secretaries have

While the most noticeable gain
is expected in the city, Mr.. Tam

strength for that party tomorrow.
