 SEATTLE, Oct. 2.-The Pacific Coast, for the first time offering a fayorite son for President, holds simple handful of electoral votes about which the Republicans are showing no worry. They count The whole coast line from Canada to Mexico as impregnably Hoover's. All three of these Pacific States. Washington with seven electoral votes, Oregon with five and Cali fornia with thirteen are so Re- publican in their nermal allegiance that in ordinary Presidential years it takes an optimistic Democrat to claim even a fighting chance. Such hope inc Democratic leaders manifest this year, based frankly on the possibility that the nnusua shake-up of party stability may as- sume proportions of first class and countrywide landslide to Gov.

Since the unemployment crisis of the
last years of the Wilson administration,
when 100000 idle men walked the
streets, labor conditions in the United
States have improved steadily under
Republican prosperity, until today there
is steady job for virtually every
worker, and wages are the highest of
any period in the history of America
or any other nation, according to the
Republican campaign text book just
issued here, which cites numerous fig
ures to bear out its contentious.
Mr.. Hoover, the text book declares,
long has been one of the foremost adj
vocates of justice and equity in the
world of labor and industry, and has
played a tremendous part in the WORK
of bringing labor to its present pros
porous condition.
