Hope for Republican Bolt.
The question interesting democrats is
what will republicans do at the polls
if Poindexter or Humphrey should win.
The democrats hope that if Humphrey.
who is an out-and-out protectionist, is
in the party will turn to the democratic
candidate at the polls. The democrats
also are counting on the resentment
of the high protectionists in event of
Poindexters nomination, voting for
Turner. who is more of conservative
by nature. The leading republican
paper. the Post Intelligencer, is bitterly

on account of his attitude on the tarin
The democrats are likely to find
themselves leaning upon reed in these
expectations. That Poindexter's nomi-

describe Mr.. Hughes tour through TINS
state, for he assuredly made deeply
favorable impression upon the i'm

Seattle and Tacoma. Not that he con-
verted any democrats, but that he met
the necessity which seemed to be re-
quired of him to make manifest the
more genial and human side OF him.
He brushed away any cobwebs winch

peated by the Seattle Times. which

Is by taking a text 81 each play and

whether the later text was not re-
