THAT OFFICIAL COUNT WILL
HAVE TO DECIDE SEATS.

New York-Control OF the next
House OF Representatives hinges upon
the result of the fall elections in thir-
teen districts. and the outcome is
likely to be so close in these that the
official count will be needed to decide.
This prediction is made by an eastern
magazine as result of its confiden-
tial canvass of $1,000 of its life sub
scribers scattered IN every section of
the United States.
Two years ago this magazine in the
same way predicted the election Of
President Taft. its poll of the states
agreeing absolutely with the official
result. excepting in Missouri which it
gave to Bryan.
The present poll was compiled from
the replies OF $1,000 that answered
and presents what the publishers be
lieve TO be a fairly accurate portrayal
of the sentiment IN the country at
large.
Division Close.
The result of the poll indicates that
1eo congressional districts are safely
Republican; 16S safely Democratic: :
20 probably Republican; 81 probably
Democratic.
This being true, the two parties
would be tied with 1S9 each and on
the remaining thirteen districts would
hinge control of the House.
Colorado is given three Democratic
congressman and Wyoming goes into
the Republican column.

THE democratic press claims the
nomination of governor at the pri-
marieS in California as an insurgent
victory, but are not very boistrous
over it. There were three or four reg
ular candidates for the office, and the
insurgent candidate, insurgent only on
state issues so it is claimed, secured a
plurality of the votes cast. Had there
been but one regular candidate the in
surgent representative would have
been beaten out of sight. The same
unfortunate conditions are facing the
republicans in this state in the matter
of the selection of United States sem
ator. There is one insurgent on the
east side. against five or six west side
regulars. With prinkling of repub-
lican support and almost solid demo-
cratic backing the insurgent candidate
has all the best of it. With a straight
fight between the east side man and a
single candidate from the west side the
democrat masquerading as repnbli-
can, with all the democratic votes be-
hind him. could be easily defeated. 1t
is to be regretted that the west side
candidates could not have placed party
above personal ambition, gotten to-
gether and either selected one of the
number by chance to stand for the Of
flee, or combined upon a compromise
candidate.

AS HAS been repeatedly stated, and
proven, no reliance whatever can be
placed in the political statements that
appear in the Spokesman. They are
colored to suit the bias of that paper.
The Spokesman report of the Pom
dexter meeting Olympia was exceed
ingly colored. A gentleman residing
at Olympia writes "Poindexter spoke
here last night. | heard him. He had
a fair house, bul no enthusiasm and
very little applause of any kind His
speech sounded for the most part like
warmed over TRADE of 1896. He
dragged in the name of Mark Hanna,
and dealt on it with particular relish,
like there was good old familiar
taste to the name that he had acquired
earlier in life when in more congenial
company. The speech was less than
democratic, it was pure populism. :"
OF course it is easy for Poindexter to
revamp his old democratic speeches
and use them IN his present campaign.
They take with his followers, and are
much easier for the speaker to handle
than any argument along republican
lines. They fit in better with his po-
litical associates, and coincide with his
views on public questions.

A PARTY by the name of La Toilette
running for congressman in this dis
trict, is either the most ignorant man
who ever ran for office, or the most
unconscionable misrepresenter. In the
Spokesman of Wednesday he had the
effrontery to intimate that the state
officials were standing in to sell to a
syndicate the Brewster fiat for $40 per
acre, claiming it to be the richest land
in the state. The Brewster fiat lands
were advertised for sale as all other
school lands are. They were Appraised
at $40 per acre, and without water that
was 50 an acre more than they are
worth. The land was open to the high
est bidder, as all school lands are.
Even if the daily papers had not men,
toned the sale there would have been
plenty OF bidders to run up the price
La Toilette, if he knows ANYTHING,
which is very doubtful. knows that no
syndicate could secure this, or any
other, school land without confronting
spirited bidders. If asininity is a
for Office La Toilette
is well equipped.
