Congressman POindexter Brands as False
the Report that He Is to Withdraw
From Senatorial Race---Wires
Daily World to that
Effect
Washington, D. c., Feb. 16.
Daily World: The report is false
and l will not withdraw under any
circumstances.
MILES POINDEXTER."

The above telegram is in answer
to a wire sent Congressman Poin-
dexter yesterday. The report emil
mating from Spokane and given pub
LEGATION on the Sound was to the eff
feet that Poindexter was ready to
quit the senatorial race and the tele-
gram is in itself sufficient evidence
to positively deny these rumors. The
report published over the state is as
follows:
Reports are current that Miles
Poindexter, congressman from the
Third district, is ready to drop out
of the senatorial race and remain in
the lower house another term.
Friends of Judge Poindexter say
his entry into the field was ill-ad-
vised, or without advice, at a time
when it was certain Senator Piles
would not be candidate, but that
now it is conceded that the toga will
go to a man west of the mountains.
''The rumor has also been current
that the inclination of State Senator
Leo o. Meigs, presiding officer at the
last session of the legislature, to get
in the field as a candidate to sue
coed Poindexter at the national cap
ital, had something to do with bring
ing about the change in ideas and
Poinjexter has stated that IL Sena-
tor Wesley l.. Jones would move his
residence over to Spokane he would
gladly leave the senatorial field, as
surfing the reelection of Jones for a
second term"
Congressman Poindexter did not
enter the senatorial race without pro-
per consideration. He took the mat.
ter up with his friends all over the
state and was given promises of very
liberal support. Poindexter clubs
are being formed in every county In
Washington and his position relative
to the corporate control of congress
and his fight against Cannon and
Aldrich is making him a formidable
opponent in this state.

GUM FOR SCHOOL
DIRECTOR
j. A. GELLATLY POSITIVELY AN
NOUNCES HE WILL NOT AGAIN
BE A CANDIDATE-MR. GUM
WOULD SUCCEED HIM.

John A. Gellatly's term of school
director will expire this spring and
he has positively announced that he
will not again be a candidate.
Arthur Gum stated to the Daily
World this morning that if there is
no probability of a fight for the po-
sition he would allow his name to
be used.
Mr.. Gum has always been very
much interested in the educational
development of this city and has all
the qualifications of an ideal school
director. The election occurs March
5. Both Mr.. Battles and Mr.. Baptie
are followers.
Mr.. Gum has been solicited for
years by his friends in this city to al
low his name to go before the public
as school director, but he has always
felt as though he could not afford
the time. He is now getting his
business affairs in such shape that
he feels as though the coming year
he could devote great deal of his
time to school matters. He has al
ways been deeply interested in the
subject of getting the manual train
ing departments started in the
schools and in order to inaugurate
this denartment in the city schools
the Wenatchee Electric company has
given the electric power for this pur-
pose. It was installed without cost
