It is the same answer which the | state of Washington is called upon to give on September 12 between - Sen. Poindexter and Congressman Hum- phrey. Here, as in California, the machine politicians have no use for a man big enough to place his country above mere party; -big enough to act on the merits of a proposition in place of strict parti- sanship. But California has given the answer to that very clearly. And in Washington there is justifi- able rejoicing among those who are supporting Miles Poindexter, the inde- pendent senator. For Miles Poindexter is the Hiram Johnson of Washington. KAISER FIRES THIRTY GENERALS CITY CAN'T SAVE BILLINGSLEYS: of moe.
