MACINTOSH COMPLETES
TOUR OF STATE

Kenneth Macintosh, Republi-
can senatorial candidate, this
week completed one of the most re-
markable tours of the state ever
attempted. He has visited practi-
eally every city or town, stopped
at crossroad settlements, talked
It'll farmers at their homes,
mingled with the crowds at fishing
and logging camps and rural in
dustrial plants, and gone to every
spot he could reaclY that people
frequent. A part of the tour he
completed before mid-April, the
rest he finished after resigning as
chief justice of the state supreme
court to enter the senatorial race.
The trip was planned as prelim-
mary step to the vigorous speech
making campaign Mr.. Mackin-
tosh will wage during the next two
months.
Aside from its political aspect,
Mr.. Macintosh regards his trip as
Of tremendous educational value
lie was born in this state and has
been travelling about Washington
all his life, being better posted
than almost any other man. Yet in
the past three months, he declares,
he reaffirmed his earlier belief
that there is something new to BE-
learned about the state and its
people everywhere one turns, and
progress is constantly putting a
new face on old conditions. The
fact that a man well acquainted
with the state can spend three
months to complete one tour indi-
Gates the size of Washington and
the interest that different sections
can arouse.
Mr. Macintosh planned his tour
because he believes that any per
son representing the state in Con-
gress should have a thorough up-to
date knowledge of resources and
the peoples wishes.
