Saving Voter at
Cushmon Plant

Utilities Commissioner ONeil
told the city council Monday he
would present plans in the near
future for doubling the capacity OF
the Seattle-Tacoma power inter-
tie line and that before the Job
Is finished, 1t would cost Tacoma
and Seattle about 500. 900 each.
The present 55.000-volt line has
capacity of about 10000 kilowatts;
by installation of heavier trans
formers and insulation adequate to
the 1l0,000-volt line contemplated,
this capacity can be raised to 49,
900 kilowatts.
Tacoma Is now buying ener-
Ky from Seattle's municipal
system every day and will con-
tinue TO do 40. O'Neil said, to
protect water reserves In Lake
Cushman.
Snow measurement in the Olym-
pics -as shown potential storage
tin snow amounting TO only 40
per cent OF normal. The Nisqually
stream flow plant is operating on
only a part capacity basis since
the explosion Of one OF the units
in its old transformer bank several
weeks ago. A complete new bank
of transformers has been ordered
but it will be some weeks yet be-
fore these are delivered.
Tacomas inter-tie agreement
was revised, three months ago on a
2-mills per kilowatt hour basis
instead of the former 5 mills.
O'Neil said purchase of require
ments from Seattle can be made
on this basis for only slightly
more than it would normally cost
Tacoma to produce its own.
Business OF the city light de-
partment has increased about Is
per cent since January /.

incidentally, that there has
also beea a sharp rise In
third-term sentiment In the
same period Of time, as report
ed In The Times. Whereas a
PER cent said they would vote
for . Roosevelt third term In
April. 81 per cent were In
favor Of . third term In the
latest study.
Another possible factor Is the
circumstance that while the Demo-
cratic party has a recognized lead
ership in President Roosevelt to-
day, the Republican party is still
engaged in the task of selecting its
national leadership for the 1910
campaign. Further Institute
studies. beginning Immediately
after the Republican national con-
vention, will show how the selec-
ton Of a flesh-and- blood Republi-
can nominee affects the political
picture.
stiIl Higher In May
Coincidental with the German
drive against France and England,
however. the Institute survey
shows an average Democratic gain
of percentage points throughout
the United States. The Institute
asked 4 croS-section of voters in
every state: which party would
you like to see win the presiden-
tial election this year."
The trend since the April survey
has been AZ follows:
Favoring Favoring
Demo- Repub-
Gratis leans
April Survey -. 54ss 461o
To-Day .......... - ~
One highly significant fact.
however. which tempers this pic
ture somewhat, is that public
opinion Immediately after the Ger
man invasion Of Holland and Bel
GUM was even more Democratic
than the figure shown today. First
returns between May 10 and May
"a showed SO per cent favoring the
Democratic party; hence there has
been a slight drop in Democratic
strength in the last two weeks.
There also remains stable
number OF voters t16fs) who say
they are undecided about their
party choice at present.

40 Claims Written
Off by City Liqht

Forty claims of the light de-
partment against individuals whose
cars and trucks struck city light
poles, ornamental lamp standards
or who caused other damage to
city property were written off by
the council Monday.
Practically all the claims were
uncollectible because the person
causing the damage couldn't be To-
Gated, because witnesses were
missing. but in virtually all cases
because they had become outlawed
by the statute of limitations.
In one case the claim was
against a parent for damage to
lamps shot at by SON."
Many of the claims were against
persons residing out of town. The
largest claim noted was S15s.16:
the majority were for only few
dollars.
Utilities Commissioner O'Neil
submitted the list to the council
asking that they be written off to
straighten department accounts.

Tabulation of the vote in Wash
ington show So per cent favoring
the Democratic party. 81 per cent
the Republicans. This is a gain of
six points for the Democrats since
April.
1t is still five months until the
November elections. Neither
party has nominated its candida ties
yet. Hence the Institute survey is
nothing more than a pre-conven-
ton "preview" Of party strength.
The entire picture may be altered
In the weeks TO come. just as 1t has
been altered in the past month.
Nevertheless. the survey shows
that the Democrats are going into
the campaign with an impressive
initial advantage.
If the election were being held
tpday-and IL II were being decided
entirely on the question of party
strength and apart from the plat
forms and candidates-the survey
indicates that the Democrats
would lead in 81 states out Of q
total Of 4s. They would capture
ass out Of total of 53l electoral
votes.
How this contrasts with politi-
cal sentiment only eight weeks
ago, before the blitxkrieg, is
shown by reference to the Insti-
tute's stste-by-state survey of late
April. At that time the Demo-
cratic party was ahead in 81
states. but the margin was 30 close
that q shift of one per cent in a
few crucial states would have
tipped the scales to the Republi-
cans.
But the shift has been In
the opposite direction. Pre-
liminary studies conducted by
the Institute indicate that the
chief reasons may lie In tho
popularity Of President Roose-
veit's handling Of foreign pol
Icy. II b Interesting to note,
