STATE TICKETS
IN THE FIELD
JUDGE SMELL, TACOMA, EN-
TIERS FIGHT FOR U. S. SENA.
ToR-cUsHMAN AND GOOD
YEAR HAVE NO OPPOSITION
FOR NOMINATION..

Final filings of candidates. under
the direct primary law at Olympia
Saturday evening brought an OPP
ponent into the field against Levi
Ankeny and Wesley l.. Jones for
u. S. senator. The third man is
Judge William K Smell, who has
presided over the criminal depart
sment of the Pierce county superior
court for years. Judge Smell says
he has entered the race on his own
volition in order to give the peo-
pie chance to vote for a candidate
not involved in faction brawls such
q. as now mark the JonesAnkeny
fight. Which one of the latter will
suffer by his appearance is not
clear. Smell has been consistent
party man aside from his duties on
the bench, and the party organiza-
ton in Tacoma is regarded as more
for Jones than Ankeny.
F. The filing also brought out the
fact that Humphrey in the First
district and Cushman in the Second
are to have no opposition for re-
nomination in the republican
I party, and Cushman none in either
party.
Against Humphrey the democrats
have Charles Miller, Seattle, and
B. d. Brown, Tacoma. William
Goodyear, Colfax, has the demo-
; cratic field alone in the Third dis
: trict, which includes Spokane.
Cushman's nomination and cleo
ton is thus made certain. He has
apparently become one of the
states incurable political diseases.
