BITTER FIGHT ON
PO|NDEXTER ENDS
WITH PRIMARIES

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 11---Can-
didates today were winding up
their campaigns prior to the state
wide primary election tomorrow,
at which candidates for United
States senator, five congressional
seats, four supreme court vacan-
cies, state legislative seats and
county offices will be nominated.
Three parties, republican, demo-
cratic and farmer-labor have tick
cts in the field.
The campaign for the republican
nomination for United States SEN
ator was one of the most bitter In
the state g history. Senator Miles
Poindexter, first elected in 1910,
is opposed for the nomination by
Mrs. Frances G. Axtell OF Belling-
ham, George b. Lamping, member
OF the Seattle port commission;
Austin e. Griffith. Judge Of the
superior court OF King county,
George II. Stevenson OF Seattle
and Lee Title of Yakima. Mrs.
Axtell was endorsed by a confer
ence OF representatives. OF ao-called
liberal groups, including the rail
way men 8 political club, the
Washington State Federation Of
Labor, and a number Of women 8
and farmers organizations Grif-
fiths and Lamping also have been
endorsed by so-called liberal or
ganizations. Stevenson is gener-
ally regarded as representing the
"old guard" in the republican
party.
Attacks on Senator Poindexter's
record in congress, especially with
regard to his vote in favor of seat
ing Senator Truman H. Newberry
OF Michigan, featured the cam
paign.

HALL RUNS AS

Ku Klnxer Formally Nom
mated at Convention
Held in Portland On
School Bill Platform.

Portland, Or. Sept 11.-Sena-
tor Charles, Hall of Marshfield de-
feated candidate for republican
primary nomination for governor,
has nothing to say regarding his
nomination as an independent
candidate for that office by an
assembly of electors" last Satur-
day. Hall, who is in Portland,
says he is here on private bust
ness. 1t is believed he will confer
with political advisers later in the
day. Tomorrow is the last day on
which nominations made by an
assembly of electors can be filed
with the secretary of state.
Portland, Sept. IL Charles
Hall Of Marshfield was formally
named as an Independent candi-
date for governor at meeting
held Saturday night at Pythian
hall. One hundred and sixty quail
fled electors were present. w. S.
Ebert of Forest Grove was in the
chair, and M. J. George, the Re-
publican county chairman of
Washington county, was secretary,
A platform was adopted which in
dorsed the compulsory public
school education bill.
Thus the rumors that have been
current since Hall threw up the
gubernatorial recount contest that
he ultimately would be found in
the race as an independent, are
crystalized into fact.
His independent candidacy
makes imminent a new brawl in
the gubernatorial situation, in
view Of the statute denying to the
defeated candidate in the party
primaries the right of running in
dependently for the same office at
the ensuing general election. Al
though the constitutionality of
this law is questioned, 1t has never
been tested in the courts. Thus
more litigation may follow before
Hall finds a place on the Novem-
Der ballot.
Hall was not present at the
meeting. His acceptance Of the
nomination is expected, in view of
the public statement he made
when the recount contest blew up,
in which he stressed the fact that
he would not dodge the duties OF
candidateship should they be
thrust upon him.
