EDITION =z | SEATTLE . WILLING TO TALK IT OVER Senatorial Candidates May Confer About Eliminating Two in Race Against Miles Poindexter Efforts to eliminate all but MAY succeed. All three—Judge Griffiths, one of the progressive repub- lican anti-Poindexter candidates for United States senator Port Commissioner Lamping and Mrs. Axtell—indicate a willingness to enter a confer- ence on the subject. However, Judge Griffiths declares he will not withdraw under any circumstances. Mr. Lamping says he woul id be willing to withdraw but that he considers himself the strongest candidate of the three. And Mrs. Axtell tells The Star that while she would be personally willing to step aside that she would be guided by the decision of the committee that induced her to go into the race. Opponents of the senator within the republican party, |however, have not given up hope that they may yet force two of the trio out and thus give voters a chance to express | themselves on a clear-cut issue. ‘DIES TRYING TO Each of the three aspirants agreed that his or her object in running for office was to secure the defeat of Poindexter, but when it came to eliminating him- self or herself from the race—ab, there's the rub. Col. Geo, B. Lamping bad tnitiated the complication by suggesting that & conference be heid for the purpose of eliminating two. “As 1 see the situation now.” Lamping said Tuesday, “Senator Poindexter will be nominated in the primaries by a minority vote, This is the thing we want to prevent. I am perfectly willing to abide by the decision of a conference such as has been suggested. “The progressive republicans must stand united to defeat Poindexter. No ditions stand in the way of the suc cess of bis principles. I wil! sacrifice myself willingly rather than see the principles for which I stand go down to defeat.” Superior Judge Austin E. Grif- fiths reiterated his firm refusal to consider withdrawing. “I am in the race to stay,” he declared. “Tam willing to hold a conference with the two other candidates, but only on the express understanding that I shall enter {nto no elimination as pertains to my personal -cam paign. 1 was in the field publicly long before the other candidates were HURRY, HURRY!

TWO CENTS IN Sheriff Starwich Sends Trained | Hounds to Beat Underbrush in Hunt for Fugitive Convict Scouring the dense underbrush surrounding the federal penitentiary at McNeil’s Island Tuesday, in search of Henry De Lage, auto thief who escaped from custody Monday, were Rambler and Rattler, the crack young bloodhounds of Sheriff Matt Starwich of King county. With noses a-tremble, the dogs circled the island times in their efforts to gain the scent that will spell De Lage’s doom. Thru the thick woods and down the y beaches, Rattler and Rambler led U. S. Marshal Tobey a cordon of prison guards in the thrilling manhunt that jend only when the convict is captured or known def‘nitely | ; to have left the island. The two dogs, pride of Starwich're office, were taken to the penitentiar: late Monday, following the convict's break for freedom. Altho both are young dogs, being a trifle over a year old, they have proved of in- Juable ald to Starwich and police in tracking down fugitives and miss ing persons. Starwich purchased them last year from the kennels at the state penitentiary at Walla Wal la, where they were trained in track- ing down humans.
