the subsidiary statements, Men for

The amount Of attention attracted is
shown by the fact that on the follow

An error in the footings of the
election officers in a Hoquiam pre-.
cinct changes the result of the con-
test between DR.. H. G. Watkins and
e. E. Fishel, republican candidates
for county commissioner from the
Third district. The judges overlook
ed one tally of five votes, and cred
tied Fishel with 81 votes, when he
really had So. On the face of the
returns, Watkins had been nominated
by majority of 2, which is now re-
versed and Fishel is the nominee by
majority of 3.
Campbell May Withdraw
This change in the republican nOm-
ination for this Office may alter the
contest in November by narrowing it
to Fishel, republican, and Dekay DEM
ocratic, that is, if W. Il. Campbell, pro-
gressive, declines 70 run.
The announcement in yesterday S
WashingtOnian, that Mr.. Campbell
had decided not to run, was prema-

determined by that gentleman, and
will not be until he is assured of the
willingness of Mr.. Fishel to carry

inclusive. Secretary j. E. Calder.
who is in charge, says present indi-
cations point to a much larger fair
than last season, and it was on his
recommendation that the event is to
last five days instead of three.
The pavilion has been divided in
to so booths, each having an S-foot
frontage and 9-foot depth. The
fair association will provide lumber
for the use of exhibitors in making
displays. Floor plans have been pre-
pared and spaces are allotted as ap-
piled for. A band or orchestra will
be in constant attendance in the paw.
illion during the fair. Henry Harlan
of Aberdeen and NJ c. Harris of Ho-
quiam, are in charge of arrange
ments for this feature and space in
the building may be obtained from
them.
This has been a banner year in
crops and fruit in Chehalis county
and the superintendents of the vari.
GUS departments are in the fields
gathering specimens for their dis
plays. w. H. Hay, who has charge
of the grain and vegetable display,
says he has never seen the equal in
grains and fruits of those he has
found in the fields and orchards this
season.
In order to have ample room Cor
the display of live stock, the man.
agement of the association has erect
ed another large stable adjoining the
one built last year.
From every part of Chehalis coun-
ty comes word that the dairymen will
exhibit their fancy cattle. e. L. Brew
er of Satsop, who took a number of
prizes at Seattle last week, will show
his fine herd, whiel J. H. Taylor, e.
H. Brady, Geo. Simpson and A. p.
Stockwell have notified the manage
ment they will bring their cattle.
Indications point to a big success

will be used to advertise Chehalis

SEATTLE, Sept. 22-Dr. A. w.

rested yesterday on a secret indict-
ment returned against him at Ia

PRESIDENTIAL
POSSIBILITIES
North American Review Gives
Forecast on the Novem-
Der Elections
WILSON IS THE FAVORITE
Loss of Some States to Will
son Might Elect Sherman
Vice-President

About this season." said the old
almanacs, begin to look for"-well
what should we look for at this par
ticular season but estimates of the
election results of two months hence
The first supply comes from the
North American Review. Consider
ed without emotion it's estimate is
not half bad. From the Wilson point
of view, it must be highly satisfac-
tory; and while 1t is altogether hope
less for Taft and Roosevelt, it is by
no means bad for-whom do you
think? For Sherman!
Yet the flaw is difficult to find, If
there be flaw, although the estk
mate may crack later on. Some say
it is full of flaws already, but the
weather is still warm. Here is the
estimate:
Wilson: Alabama, Arizona, Arkan-
sas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, In.
diana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mary
land, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jer
sey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio,
Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas, Virginia, West Virginia.-To-
tai Electoral vote, 290.
SOHucCLiCut, DcldW WdIcs
linois, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michi-
gan, Minnesota, New Hampshire,
Pennsylvania, Vermont, Wisconsin,
Total Electoral vote, 1856.
Roosevelt: California, Idaho, Kan
sas, Montana, Nevada, North Dako-
ia, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah,
Washington, Wyoming.-Total Elec-
toral vote, 63.
Uncertain: Maine, Nebraska, New
Mexico, Rhode Island-Total Elector-
al vote, %.
AS the number of Electoral votes
necessary to choice Is 266, the above
estimate leaves Wilson "a to spare.
New York is therefore the only single
state credited to him which, by dis
appointing that expectation, would
deprive him of his majority. The
loss of Ohio would not be enough in
itself. 1t would take almost a mir
acle, as matters now look, to deprive
Wilson of the majority given him
in the estimate; and the election of
either Roosevelt or Taft by the
Electoral College is we'll out of the
jurisdiction even Of miracles. The
fight is not between Wilson and
ISOOotNcIt, dS INOOocVclI SpccCucS
have it; nor between Wilson and
Taft. 1t is between Wilson and the
present vice president, Mr.. Sherman
How so? BY no reasonable proba-
bility can either Taft or Roosevelt
get majority of the Electoral Col
lege. whatever happens to Wilson,
This must be conceded by anyone
who scans the foregoing estimate.
But Wilson's loss in the Wilson list
above, of New York or of Indiana
and New Jersey. or of Ohio and any
other state, would relegate the selec-
tion of the next President to the pres
ident House, where the vote would
be not by members but by State
delegations AS the House is equal
