.cos at the earnest solicitation oi certain Juneau citizens who ex- pressed their belief at that time that he could be Of great assistance to the city in solving some Of the problems which might come up, and in preparing the figures on the wa ter question. he had merely done so in order that the best interests ot the city might be served.
 Purchase Is Favored
 The Mayor stated that some of the best engineering and business men on the Pacific Coast had been ap- 2roacned on the subject and that they were all in favor of the pur- chase of the system. He mentioned the name of F. w. Bradley who stated to Mir. Stewart that in his opinion the city was losing great opportunity if the council did not avail themselves of the present op- ton.
 The Mayor asked the council men if they had read the articles which had appeared in The Elm pire. and they stated that they had. He then told ..hem that it is a positive fact that at least two private parties were dealing with Mr. Lewis for the purchase of the system and that one of the most ar dent speakers in opposition to the city's purchase was an agent of one of the parties. Another agent dick ering with Mir. Lewis had signed a petition against the purchase of the system by the city which was pre- sented by Councilman King.
 Mir. King read a petition against the purchase which had been sign ed by about fifteen property owners and tax payers and read their names. but Mayor Stewart stated that he could get as many or more sign CTS on the other side if he had de- sired.
 Valentine for Purchase.
 Emery Valentine was present and stated in part, 'I do not think any better opportunity has ever been offered any city in the world and if the Juneau water system was mine. it would take great deal more than S1OO.00O to buy it.
 Forrest Sees Business Side.
 George Forrest said in part: I am in favor of municipal owner ship of public utilities and if l though the Juneau water works was worth the price asked I would fa- yor the purchase of the system. That is the only question to my mind before the council. Is the plant worth the price asked and has the value of the plant increased from $4O.O99 to $109,10o within the past four years?
 with the increase in population already here and in prospect. with the new work put in last summer. feel that Lewis is entitled to 9 fair increase in valuation and that 1 if the plant is purchased now it would not greatly cucumber the fu- ture generation"

Seattle Newspaper Has Tinted that 1t Will Probably Bolt the
 G. 0. P. Ticket.
PICKS TURNER TO WIN
Says Democrats Were Cause of Spokane Man Getting the
 Nomination.

SEATTLE, Sept. 14.-That the Se- attle Post-Intelligencer. the larges; and generally regarded as the most influential Republican paper in the State of Washington. will bolt the nomination of Senator Miles Poin- dexter. and give it's support to for mer Senator George Turner, the Democratic nominee for Senator. and may bolt the nomination of former Gov Mcbride, was plainly intimated in its leading editorial columns this morning. It practically predicted the election of Turner.
 While it's news columns showed Senator Poindexter leading by plu- rality of 5000, 1t said editorially: If Humphrey has received Q majority of the first choice votes over Sena- tor Polndexter and vote totaling more than 70 per cent Of the num- Der cast. which now seems exceed ngly doubtful, the Republicans in November will gain seat in the United States Senate If he has not, the Democrats will be given an ex- cel!ent opportunity to gain a seat"
 The paper accuses the Democrats of bringing about the nomination of Senator Poindexter saying:
 That Democrats in large numbers have contributed to Miles Poindex- ter's vote is altogether plain"
 Predicts "Wet" Fight Again
 The Post-Intelligencer also Is. con. vinced that the wet and dry ques- ton will again come to the front in Washington, and says that the evi' dence is plain that Seattle is still wet It styles former Gov. Henry Mcbride, who was nominated by the Republicans for governor, as the candidate of the "Wets," though it says that 1t was his personal popu- larity that won the nomination for him.
 On this subject the Post-Intelli- gencer said:
 t"McBride's substantial lead in the cities testifies to his popularity with the people. He is a strong man. The result also testifies that the cities. especially in Seattle, on q new issues pressed to the front, are pronouncedly wet as formerly, and that the liquor interests still con- stitute a formidable factor in State politics. Initiative measure Num- Der 24, the beer bill is no longer to be treated lightly and as impos- sibie of adoption.
 with McBride's nomination a re- newal of the wet and dry fight be- comes a certainty. It is already on" Will Bolt One or Two Candidates
 Closing its significant editorial, the PostIntelligencer says:
 "The Post-Intelligencer finds as- surance in the large vote that was cast. the assurance of a duty-doing citizenship, and sets down the yer dict cheermlly, even though it may later be moved by what 1t conceiyes to be its duty 10 reject ono or two possible results"
