The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1910-07-22

Mr. Himelhoch that all of the districts should
send to the legislature. He has been endorsed by
majority of the business men of his district and it
looks as if he will be one of the two nominees Both
he and his father leading business in the dis
trct which he hopes to represent in the next egis-
lature.
1T is practically settled that Democrats will not
oppose Democrats in the coming primary election"
says the Seattle Star Of course they will not, for
they will all he supporting Miles Pondexter the Mug
wump Republican, who is so for the sake of getting
another office.
I'm my opinion Eastern Washington will be much
divided in it's vote for United SENATOR" said east
side day this week. II have sized up the
situation about like this Spokane county will be close
battle-ground for Wilson and Poindexter with all the
other candidates but scattering strength Neither
will get the county by Very large plurality Lincoln
county will be for Wilson with Ponlexter close
ond and practically nothing for Burke Whitman
seems inclined to Wilson though Pondexter will be
close second. Adams will probably lead for Poindex-
ter with Wilson and Burke pretty close together
Walla Walla will in my opinion, go for Ashton with
Wilson and Poindexter neck and neck for the second
place Asotin will give Wilson small plurality
with Pondexter a close second. Klicitat will be
close fight between Wilson and Poindexter. Yakima
will be largely for Wilson with Pondexter second.
Benton county is also inclined to give Wilson first
place with Poindexter second. Steven county will
give Poindexter first place and Wilson second though
this will be POndeXters strong county on the east
side. Ferry county will probably fall in Burkes COL
umns for first place and Poindexter second with Will
son getting ptetty good vote. Douglas will be for
Wilson first and Poindexter second Okanogan will
be close call between Pondexter and Wilson with
the odds slightly in favor of the latter Chelan will
give PondeXter first place in the count and make Will
and Burke neck and neck for the second cor
ner Kittas is inclined to PoindeXter though in the
mines there is strong Wilson sentiment and in Ell
lensburg Burke will get considerable strength"
Just whether Poindexter or Wilson will come to the
top of the mountains with plurality is hard ques-
ton to answer just and may be just as hard to
answer the day before the election If Spo-
kane should give Pondexter 5000 plurality he would
lead IN that section, but if Spokane breaks even be-
tween Wilson and Poindexter then Wilson will lead in
Eastern Washington and come to the top of the
tans with small plurality
In spite of the fact that Judge Burke spent consd-
cradle money in the campaign he but that he
has the little end of the fight and is but making the
election of Pondexter all the more certain If he is
consistent he will step aside and let the fight be be-
tween Wilson and Poindexter but of course that is
next to impossible and things do not look good to
me-"
Unless l am badly deceived the old Ankeny push
will fall in behind James Ashton, in spite of the Times
talk that it is behind Judge Burke You mark this
