The lard in question was sold by

claimed that the lard contains taliow

FRIDAY July 1 1910

From the Seattle Star it was learned that the fight
in Spokane was between Wilson and Pondexter. On
Friday evening the authority declared the recent
primaries i'll Spokane had broken with Wilson
and that drastic stand pat'' resolutions would be
passed. The next day, however, the Spokane county
convention was held and the Poindexter men
went to defeat before the all conquerng
Wilson forces by something like two to
and since that time the Star has had nothing to
say about Poindexters chances in Spokane, nor has
the Times had anything to say about Burkes chances
of carrying Spokane county. The fact of the whole
business u.s. John L. Wilson hae swept Spokane county
and thereby drawn first blood in the battle of ballots
that will be pulled off in September. Thomas Burke
will not carry county in Eastern Washington
Thomas Burke will not carry single county IN the
state of Washington; Thomas Burke will not get
enough votes to know that he also ran.
Every vote that Thomas Burke gets in the coming
primary election, based the expenses of his cam
paign will have cost him in the neghborhood of twen-
ty dollars each. Levy Ankeny's vote two years ago
will be like the hosts of Satan incomparison If King
county desires to do herself proud she will go to
Thomas Burke and say to him, Get thee behind me,
Satan" Miles Poindexter is hundred times more
formidable foe to Wilson than Burke and it looks as if
Wilson will beat Poindexter in every county in the
southwest and take from him all the larger counties
in the eastern section of the state He will beat him
in the northwest and that too in spite of the fact
that every Democrat in the state will vote the Repub
lcan ticket and vote for either Burke Pondexter,
both of whom are simon pure Democrats. The

papers the following from the Aberdeen Herald old
line Democratic organ will give you idea of how
the Republican papers stand down there:
With true newspaper instinct John L. Wilson, pro-
prietor of the Seattle P.l and candidate for United
States SENATOR is believer of newspaper publicity,
and if his idea be correct he has the other candidates
faded to FRAGILE in the southwest. At the banquet
