This was the word Miles Poindex-
ter gave to the editor of The Press
in Seattle last Wednesday.
Poindexter is fit for the fight he
is engaged in. Physically, he looks
like sturdy knight of old. Put him
in armour, place a helmet on his
head and a lance in his hand, and

of the people of Washington, as he
is in fact. Mentally Poindexter is
fit for the fight. He has a forceful

and sturdy independence Of
thought. His record makes him fit
for the fight. 1t has been brilliant
