PO.MDEXTER VOTE
IS EMPHATIC SLAP
AT STEAMBOAT GANG

Fifty thousand voters who cast
sheir ballots for President Wilson
leaped over tho political barriers
In order TO vote for U. $, Senator
Miles Poindexter. republican.
foindeNter's phenomenal major
tty OF more than 10000 Is the alb
sorhing topic OF local politics Fri
day.
IL Is all the more remarkable be-
cause Polndexter lost thousands OF
Votes at that-hy his support Of
10y. Hughes. However, he could
Oxford 20 lose them. He had them
TO spare. Even Hughes couldn't de-
feat Poindexter.
Defles standpatters
Even the aslnine trick OF the re-
publican state central committee
In indorsiug the referendum meas
ures. couldn't deprive PoindeSter
OF his riShtful place In the esti-
mate OF tho voters as an independ'
ent senator.
Poindexter defied the state cen
trail committee and the standpat
press by his vigorous denunciaion
OF the referendum measures, lie
didn't mince words on that score.
He refused TO be gagged. and tho
there were many OF his admirers
who professcd TO have been disap-
pointed In his support OF Hughes,
they still recognized him as the
great Independent senator who vot.
ed for every Wilson measure OF
merit Just az readily as no voted
for meritorious propositions orig.
mated by republicans. progress
sives. or socialists And they flock
ed TO him with the old loyalty.
|. Faint Praise by s,ardpan
Immediately following the pri.
maries. the standpat organs tried
TO damn Poindexter by fsint praise.
At the end OF the campaign. these
same organs attempted To tie
Hughes 10 the Polndexter kite. But
II was an impossible feat
To Poindexter Is due the sur.
vival OF the republican state ticket

Humphrey been dominated as re
publican candidate for tho senate.
