Henry Watterson says in the Courier

The slump in the republican vote Of

Maine was fought on local issues, not
the least damaging of which to the
republicans was the corruption Incl
dent to the abortive attempt to make
men sober by acts of assembly, sub
laid in constitutional prohibition, does
not imply that national conditions and

result.

Possibly One Exception.
FIRST DISTRICT IN DOUBT
"Standpatter' Humphrey May Be
Saved by Late Returns.
P0INDExTER FOR THE SENATE
Carries Every County in. the State
and Is Nominated by Plurality
Estimated at 10000.

SEATTLE, Wash. September 14.-In
the insurgent storm that swept over the
state of Washington yesterday the old
guard of the republican party lost nearly
everything. Miles Poindexter of Spokane,
an insurgent leader in the present House,
was nominated for United States senator
by 10000 plurality, carrying every county
in the state, defeating his leading oppO-
nent, Judge Thomas Burke of Seattle, in
Burke's own precinct, and carrying Pierce
county, the home of the other regular
candidate, James NJ. Ashton.
Two insurgents were nominated for
Congress. In the first congressional dis
triet there were four insurgent candi-
dates, and the result was still in doubt
at noon today. Late returns may show
that William E. Humphrey, "standpat-
ter republican, has been nominated.
Late returns from Whatcom county in
crease his majority there and make it
almost certain that he has obtained 40
per cent of the first-choice vote in the
district, thus insuring his nomination
In the second, Or Tacoma district, Rep
resentative W. W. McCredie, owner Of the
Portland base ball club and a stand
patter, was beaten by Stanton Warbur-
ton, an insurgent Tacoma lawyer. In
the third, or Spokane district, William La
Toilette OF Pullman, insurgent, a cousin
OF the Wisconsin senator, was nominated.
