SECOND CHOICE DOESN'T COUNT Since it is certain that Poindexter will poli more than 40 per cent of the first choice votes, second choice votes will not count, hence Bryan's total vote means little Tacoma and Pierce county gave Poindexter almost as big a jead over Humphrey did Spokane.

Wednesday. First returns gave Flt oa a slight lead in first chojce votes over Poindexter, but the count at the 7 auditor's office at 1 p. m., when the first 111 precincts MAY WIN BY 10,000 It can be stated conservatively now that Pointe dexter will have an even break with Humphrey in Sé-! attle and King county. Indications are that they will run about even thruout the western part of the state, so unless all present returns are badly upset, Poindexter should win over Humphrey with a majority equal té whatever the eastern part of the state gives him. Spokane county alone will likely give Poindexter 5,000 votes, an@ this will be swedied in Walla Walla county. A Poindexter majority of from 7,000 to 10,000 votes seems probable now ee ee McBRIDE’S LEAD GROWS The 111 complete precincts show McBride far in the lead, with — nearly 3,000 first and second choice votes more than’ Hartley.
