erage voter. Anyway, it is an in
teresting angle at this time.

terestlng angle at this time.
Over in Sopkane, The Spokes-
man-Review is rushing the straw
vote season and its returns verify
q common feeling-that Herbert
Hoover is now the leading candi-
date in this state for the reupbli-
can nomination for president.
There is some surprise, however,
in that the first returns, while
meager, show that Charles Evans
Hughes is the second efirst choice"
candidate.
Then comes Vice-Pres. Dawes
in third place, but he must be con-
sidered a rival to Mr.. Hoover be-
cause he is running "wild" as Sec
ond and third choice. In other
words, the Hoover votes are next
for Mr.. Dawes, and it is much the
same with the Hughes, Lowden
and Longworth votes.
Some political observers regard
the Dawes vote as being very sig
nificant. They insist that the pace
maker, such as Mr.. Hoover at this
stage, rarely maintains his gait
to the finish, usually slipping back
as the fight grows hotter-that the
first bloom of spring is never the
last flower of summer. Therefore,
they argue that Mr.. Dawes must
not be overlooked as bidder for
Washington's delegates to the re-
publican national convention.

WAREHOUSE BUSY

The battery of automobiles parked
about the warehouse gives evil
dence of something doing. The

of the season the big storage plant

Desgranges reports that he is not
worrying about filling the plant,
as the storage in transit rate plac-
es the entire Yakima valley at
his door.
