HE IS THEIR FAVORITE
Admire Him for His Fight
ing Spirit and Record"
They Say.

Seattle, July 2S.-Representative
Miles Poindexter addressed the Seat
tie Central Labor council last night
by special invitation, a privilege
which has been granted to neither
of the Seattle senatorial candidates,
and was very warmly received. He
spoke briefly, combining himself to
matters of legislation of especial in
terest to workingmen, and was given
positive assurances that he is the
favorite candidate of a large major
ity of union men in Seattle.
The Seattle unions have mem
bership of $1,000 voters, and many
labor leaders predict that from so to
IS per cent of them will vote for
Poindexter in the primary election.
Right With Us.
1--WE admire Poindexter for his
fighting spirit and for the magnifi-
cent record he made in fighting the
interests in congress" said Paul
Mohr, a delegate to the central coun-
Gil from the bakers union. He is
right with us, and we are right with
him. In many unions the men are
practically unanimous in supporting
him. | never knew union men to be
so nearly unanimous in support of
any candidate
"Poindexter is very strong among
union men throughout the state, ]"
said George S. Bowers of the plumb
ers' union, better known as the cow
boy plumber "He will poll far
more than a majority of the votes
of union men in this city"
Il admire Poindexter greatly for
his courageous course in congress-, -
said c. w. Doyle, business agent of
the central council. His appearance
here has made an excellent impress
sion, and the fact that we invited him
and have not invited his opponents
carries it's own significance. Our ma
tional leaders are very warm in their
praise of his course at Washington.
Andrew Feruseth, vice president of
the American Federation, who was
here recently, told us our only hope
in congress is the success of the in
surgents there"
All For Him.
Il am prepared to say that the
members of the maritime unions are
unanimous for Poindexter," said P.
B. Gill, business agent of the sailors
union. IF there is a man in any of
our organizations who is not for him
have not been able to locate him. u
THAT goes also, for the Marine
Cooks union" added Leonard Nork-
gauer of that organization. You
can put it as strong as you like; we
are all for him."
'Poindexter will sweep the city OF
Seattle If the union men vote for
him as nearly unanimously as I con.
fidently believe they will" said J
w. O'Brien, of the telegraphers
union. He will get the biggest labor
vote ever given a candidate in this
state. So far as l can learn the boys
are all for him down the line, as his
record in congress deserves"
Sweep the State.
I'VE are going to sweep the state
for Poindexter with the biggest Ia
Dor vote in history" said Harry Kill
duff, state organizer for the Railway
Employees union. His speech here
tonight, like his course in congress,
wins workingmen to him by his
frank courage and his fearless hon
esty."
Tonight Mr.. Poindexter will speak
in Ballard, a suburb of Seattle; Fri
day night at Redmond, and Saturday
night in Kent. This will conclude
his work in King county for the pres
ent. He goes into the northwest
counties from here, returning to the
state convention at Tacoma August
3, and on August 4 will speak before
the Young Mems Republican club by
special invitation as an invited guest
