The Second Choice Provision Not Yet
Understood by Voters

The democrats now have a little
second choice problem of their own to
solve. They have more than three
candidates for the gubernatorial nomin-
alton and every democrat must vote
for first and second choice. Demo
Gratis in western Washington believe
that the leading first choice candidates
are A. J. Splawn of North Yakima and
William Blackman of Seattle. Both
men are popular among the members
of their party and both are we'll known
Splawn has been in the Legislature and
is substantial farmer and stock raiser.
Blackman is a son-in-law of the late
Governor Rogers and was one of the
latter's advisers and was his labor COM
missioner.
The republican voters will be called
on tc vote for both first and second
choice for the Offices of governor,
lieutenant governor, attorney general
and insurance commissioner. Voters
must not forget that if they fail to mark
both a first and a second choice for
these Offices, their votes will not be
counted at all for the first choice they
mark. Thus their votes will be thrown
away on those particular Offices, or on
any one OF them that is not marked for
both first and second choice. In spite
of the educational campaign that has
been carried on for months by the
republican state committee and the
republican newspapers on this point, it
is no trouble whatever to find men on
the street who, while taking the usual
casual interest in politics, do not APP
pear to understand the second choice
provision Of the law.
Some politicians are accusing the
Mcbride faction of bringing out Neil,
Robinson and Brown, the practically
unknown men, for the gubernatorial
nomination. The three men occupy
significant places on the primary cleo
ton ballot. Each is directly under one
OF the strong candidates. Robinson
follows Atkinson, Neil follows Mcbride
and Brown follows Mead. The theory
OF political spectators is that large
percentage OF the second choice votes
will go at random and that the tenden-
cy will be to cast them for the next
man below the voters first choice fay
orite. II this theory is correct the
random second choice votes will be
scattered pretty thoroughly among
three weak men. The men who vote
first choice for Cosgroye will have TO
90 up the ticket to vote their second
