! Next Tuesday, Primary Election
dAy, will bring to close the first
Stage of the political campaign this
year and will bring the fIlfillment
of some hopes and the dissipation
of others in this state.
On the republican ticket, all the
dope available indicates the Kenneth
Macintosh will emerge for the NOM
ination of United States Senator over
former Senator Miles Poindexter.
Austin E. Griffiths, the third entry
in this race, is not conceded much OF
a chance.
While John Hanks has made a
strong campaign for the nomination
of Congressman from this district the
indications are that Congressman
John Summers will have a substan-
tial majority.
The race for the nomination for
Governor is hard to dope. French,
not strong candidate himself, will
fall heir to the anti Hartley vote
in the republican party and may come
out on top but the strong Hartley
organization in the state would seem
to give the Governor the edge, altho
the race may be exceedingly close.
Claude G. -Bannick of Seattle is also
entered in this race but he probably
W II not get very far.
There are nine candidates entered
in the race for lieutenant governor
and the man who con dope that race
could go to the head of the class
in a guessing contest. Apparently
the three strongest candidates are w.
w. Conner, Paul w. Hauser, both OF
Settle, and John A. Gellatly of We
natchee.
Political dopesters in the state give
tie edge to ]. Grant Hinkle, present
secretary of state, over H. F. josef
sky; C. w. C1ausen, state auditor,
ever George F. Murray, John H.
Dunbar, attorney general, over w. w.
Zent and Emnaett G. Lehman, his
two competitors; Clark V. sSavidge
over AL Terry and Jack Bird, who
are comtesting him for the r1omina-
ton. The three candidates for state
treasurer are all new men and the
political observers are little chaEy
about predicting winner, altho
Charles w. Hinton looks good to
some of them. The race for the
nomination of Superintendent of Pub
lie instruction between Josephine
Corliss Preston and N. D. Showalter
is conceded to be close and the win
ner hard to pick.
OF more local interest to republican
voters here is the race for joint
senator, state representative and
county commissioner from this dis
tr;st. G. DOVE McQuesten and w.
| L. Dimrnick, both Of Yakima are the
two candidates for jQint-serator for
! Yak ma and Benton counties, and 3.
~. Miller and A. 3. Taylor of Pros

ton for state representative from
Benton county. Both Mr.. McQues-

votes largely from the Hartley sup.
porters. Mr.. Dimm,ck and Mr.. Mil
Ter have both announced that they dc
not want their candidates. involved
in any way with Hartley contest
that if elected they want to go to
Olympia unhampered by any affilia-
tons that might embarass them in
considering legislative matters.
The contest for county commits
sioner lies between Ira c. Hawley,
of White Bluffs, present commissioner
and A. L. Brockway of Hanford.
Only the voters in this commissioner
district vote. on these two men and
as they are in compact body, a
closer check can be made and safer
prediction possible. According to
those in position to know, Mr..
Hawley will emerge with substan-
eial majority providing his support
ers all 20 to the polls. In fact, ac-
cording to their figures, he will re-
ceiye almost enough votes in Han
ford, White Bluffs and Columbia pre-
cincts to give him the nomination and
in addition will get at least half the
votes in the lower part of tine district.
Every voter who wishes to vote for
either of these men in the primary
must call, for republican ballot.
The only contests in the primary
on the democratic ticket in which
there is anything like senblance
of a race are for governor and for
stste representative. There are four
candidates for governor on the dem
ocratic ticket but the race will un-
doubtedly be between Judge Stephen
]. Chadwick and Scott Bullitt Mr..
Bullitt seemed to have the edge up
until the last few weeks when the
Chadwick support began to assert it.
self ard at this time Mr.. Chadwick
appears to be on top, although the
race may be close.
Knute Hill WHO was elected two
years ago for state representative on
the republican ticket, is candidate
for the office this year on the dem
ocratic ticket. He is being contested
by w. F. Sonderman of Kennewick.
The polls will be open at the
Primary Election from eight in the
morning until eight in the evening.
The polling place at White Bluffs
will be at Liberty hall and the cleo
ton board will be composed of the
following: NJ. S. Meeks, inspector; F.
d. Edwards and Mrs F. M. Wheeler,
judges; and Mrs. E. M. Remlinger
and Mrs. I. B. Burns, clerks. The
polling place in Columbia precinct
will be the Vernita school house. The
election officers there are: o. H.
Jaeger, inspector, end LayN. Fry and
E, e. Meeker. judges The poll'ng
place at Hanford wilf be on the lower
floor of the Webber building and the
election board will be w. A. Hawes,

LIKES OUR sPuDs

The fruit and vegetables raised in
this valley quite often wander far
before going into consumption and
sometimes when the ultimate con-
sumner can find the growers name on
the package he takes the trouble to
write and tell how he liked it. E.
E. Meeker received such a letter this
week from Carl Holm, who operates
restaurant at Sitka, Alaska. Mr..
Holm said:
"We just received shipment of
Irish Cobbler potatoes which were
grown by you, according to the tags
on the sacks. / wish to tell you that
they are the finest potatoes we have
ever received from the States. We
have good potatoes grown here in
Alaska but not enough to supply the
market. What / wish to know is,
can you ship direct to us and what
price can you give US on potatoes,
also ranch eggs by the case? would
rather buy direct from the farmer if
I can, for if there is any advantage
you deserve it." Mr.. Holm. says he
ships in all of his groceries and pro-
duce from Tacoma and Seattle.
