King coma pomeres will be held tomorrow. Voters will select delegates to the county convention who, in turn, will send delegates to the state convention. Delegates favoring La Follette, Roosevelt or Taft will be chosen by ¢ rs ay erie and men favoring Wilson, Clark or Harmon by the democrats. Progressives won the fight for presidential primaries in this county, and it’s up to every independently thinking voter to register his choice tomorrow. Otherwise he should have no complaint “coming” if King county’s representatives do not vote to please in the matter of sending delegates to the national conven- tion. Tomorrow's primary marks a critical time in the national campaign, as far as the state of Washington is concerned. La Follette, Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson are the candidates endorsed by the pro- gressive organizations of the county. Register a heavy vote and an emphatic expression of public opinion tomorrow. rhe Seattle Star Man and wife in vaudéville play one little act for five years.
