The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1916-08-19
Register by Sept. if you want
to vote at the primary Sept. II.

Soon after the nominations
were made in June, when it be-
came known that Teddy would
endorse Hughes, the republicans
offered a few small bets at 2 to l
in favor of Hughes, which were
promptly taken up. But last
week $4,000 was offered on Will
son in New York at odds OF 2 to
and no republican takers at that.
Congressman G. G. Dill Of this
district is the only congressman
from this state who is staying at
his job, the others leaving their
work to campaign for another
term. Dill's sincerity in doing
the work he was hired to do, re-
gardless of what may happen here
in his absence, is creditable to the
man who has already brought the
results to this district which his
predecessors failed to get, and his
attention to the work of his office
is not losing any strength for him.
The democratic county ticket
was completed last week by the
fling of Al Miller for treasurer
and Atty. l.. B. Donley for'prose-
cutting attorney. The first COM
missioner's district will nominate
at the primary, no democrat from
that district making a filing for
the primary.
The democrats have an excel
rent ticket in Stevens county, and
with the big lead which the presi-
dental and congressional candi-
dates will have in this county, past
performances are likely to be of
no value in predicting the vote
in November. The democratic
primary ticket has but two con-
tests-sheriff and clerk. All 9TH
er filings were made after confer
ence between the desiring candi-
dates.
That Ex-Governor Hughes, re-
publican candidate for president,
considers the state of Washington
debatable ground in the present
campaign is being emphasized in
the fact that in due season his
running mate, Fairbanks. will fol-
low him in a tour of the north
west also that lesser lights OF the
G.. O. P. will be found scintillating
in the rural depths. The evidence
that the Hughes leaders have
struck the right scent is evident
from the fact that when the state
MALTA marched away from Spo-
kane in response to the call OF
President Wilson, 10000 people
stood on the streets and cheered
them on their way. The largest
crowd reported by the Spokes-
man-Review as having greeted
Hughes in his two days in Spo-
kane was II, 900.
Senator George Turner of Sp0-
kane; Edgar D. Snyder of Seat
tie, former progressive state chair
man; Thomas Lally of Spokane,
democratic candidate for lieuten-
ant governor, and the famous Elks
Quartet of Spokane will be in Col
vile Tuesday, the 22d, and at
Marcus Wednesday, the 23d.
Meetings have been arranged for
the evening at both places, the
meeting in Colville Tuesday night
being in the court room.
This will open the democratic
campaign in Stevens county.
Much interest attaches to the sup
port of President Wilson by mem
bers Of the progressive party, the
leading men of the progressive
faith throughout the country hav-
ing signifed their intention to sup
port Wilson in preference to the
reactionary ticket put up by the
standpat element of the republican
party at Chicago. Mr.. Snyder of
this state is one of the progress
sives who has taken the stump for
Wilson, and citizens Of this vicin-
