SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 20.-"The
ington has been stirred TO renewed ac-
tiyity since the landslide in all the
elections in the east on November A."
said Hugh c. Todd, chairman of the
Democratic state committee of Wash
ington, who Is being generally discuss
ed as available for the Democratic
nomination for United States senator
in the coming primaries.
such party victory in an off year
is remarkable and unprecedented In
one day, a year after a presidential
victory and shortly after the passage
OF an epoch making tariff bill, TO elect
from the party in power, the mayor
of New York and the governors of
Massachusetts, New Jersey and Nir
ginia. and a United States senator in
Maryland, while the republicans and
Bull Moosers' won no contests of i'm
portance, is nothing less than an ex-
preston of absolute confidence in the
democratic party and in Wilson's adj
ministration and his policies.
THE manner in which the demo-
cratic majorities in the senate and in
the house are keeping the pledges
made to the people and the absolute
sincerity and mastery of President
Wilson are bound to continue through
out this administration. The effect
of the democratic partys keeping
faith and the ability of it's leaders
to serve the people is meeting with
approval and can only result in demo
cratic victory in the senatorial and
congressional election next fall.
Hope for Senator
1--WE hope in the state of Washing
ton to have enough independent vot-
ers, combined with out fast increas-
ing party strength shown every day,
and have party representation in the
lower house. The general sentiment
seems to prevail that the democrats
have the one fine chance this time
to elect United States senator
"The state is divided into five con-
gressional districts. The city of Sc
attle and Kitsap county (the navy
yard), is the first district; then we
have the northwest, the northeast. the
southeast and the southwest districts
The city of Seattle is today about
evenly divided among the three par
ties. We expect the navy yard county

ton. Secretary Daniels has visited
the navy yard and has taken per
sonal interest in it's welfare. His
visit over there has assured greater
things for it's future and has already
granted the workmen in the shops a
great increase in their days wages.
The city Of Seattle, greatly interest
ed in the development of Alaska. will
undoubtedly give the democratic can
didates a plurality for it wants a
representative in Washington city
from the party in power.
1.-The democratic administrations in
the state of Washington and in the
nation. are strengthening the cause in
this state every day The policies and
accomplishments of the party in pow
er are meeting with public approval.
THE appointments are going to men
of character and ability, and together
with the state wide organization We
are perfecting. we have high hopes
of success in this state next year."
