Dor, the Columbia river communities,
Grays Harbor points or inland places
like Montesano, Chehalis, Centralia
or Elma, the story is just the same:
The people endorse President Wilson

Wilson Sentiment Strong in District.
Drury himself, who has just re-
turned from a complete canvass of
every county in the district, says the
Wilson sentiment and the determine
ton of the people to endorse the acts
of the administration, are increasing
daily, and he expects to carry every
county in the district with the posi-
BILE exception of Chehalis county.
"The result of this growing senti-
ment," he says, twill be larger ma
jorities on the 3rd of November for
the Democratic congressional and SEN
atorial tickets than any of us have
expected. The story is the same
whether you are on the Columbia
river, Willapa or Grays Harbor or on
Puget Sound. The voters-both men
and women-positively and emphati-
cally sanction the things Wilson has
done and they mean to stand by his
administration in the coming election.
lover and over and over this re-
assurance has been given to me dur
ing the past ten days by scores and
scores of both Republicans and Pro-
gressives. I found these conditions
at every meeting and in the hotels, in
offices and in stores, on trains and
wherever l met people.
"The people have wakened up tc
the issue that Wilson is really run
ming, Notwithstanding that his name
ia not on the ticket. His record IL

day. and his policies and Legislation
