But he didn’t side-| step; he didn’t dodge. He was on hand when the question came up in the senate and he voted. He voted Me But | he was boldly wrong, even as he had been boldly right on many another occasion. In addition to being big, the story is dramatic. It. contains tragedy and comedy, and climaxes without number; and, above all, it is human—intensely human. At Time of His First Campaign Poindexter Was “Insurgent” | _ Rarely in either history or fiction has any character stood in such an amazing position as Miles Poindexter stands to- day. If his story were not a matter of public record, his present situation would be so amazing as to tax one’s cre-| dulity to the breaking point. | Today he is fighting for the office which he won in his spectacular campaign of 12 years dgo. As in 1910, it is a, case of Poindexter against the field—the cry then was “Beat Poindexter!” and not “Elect So-and-So!”—just as it is today. But there the parallel ends. versed so completely that one has to pinch himself to make sure that it’s all so—that it’s not a dream or some clever | conjuror’s trick. | In 1910 Poindexter was an “insurgent”—a member of that | capone group that was the forerunner of the progress- ve party, | The conservatives—the reactionary republicans—were sol-| idly aligned against him. They yelled “Insurgent!” at him in much the same manner that they yell “Bolshevik!” at} others nowadays. He had deserted the Grand Qld Party) and had to be defeated at any cost—and they were so deter-| mined to accomplish this that they literally fell over each other in their haste to file for office against him. Everything else has been re-| The “thunderers” of the state were turned on him. The'| Post-Intelligencer—then owned by the late former Senator! John L. Wilson, himself a candidate—boomed out sonorous warnings against this upstart from east of the mountains. | The Times—then under the guidance of the late A. J, Blethen—was no less aroused, and more venomous. The} “tried and true” republican press thruout the rest of the state added its share to the general pandemonium. The Star, and its associated papers in Tacoma and Spo- kane, played virtually a lone hand in defending the raw- boned congressman who had dared to defy the standpat) nt cthed bosses and “Cannonism” in the house of represent- atives. Judge Griffiths in 1910 President of Poindexter Club The situation today is much the same—only radically dif- ferent! Again there are a good handful of candidates against him, and the opposition, if not quite as widespread as in 1910, is just as bitter—possibly more so. But no one is calling him “insuryent” or “bolshevik” to- day. The progressive element thruout the state, except for his immediate personal friends, is just as solidly against him now as were the conservatives in 1910—and the hide-bound | standpatters are backing him with as much enthusiasm now as they employed 12 years ago in damning him. Most of the papers which, in 1910, regarded Poindexter’s nomination as nothing less than a national catastrophe, are today giving him support. And, to cap it all, Judge Austin E. Griffiths, who was president of the first Poindexter-for-senator club in King county, is, perhaps, his most formidable opponent for the; nomination—and one of his bitterest political enemies! | Special!

For an hour before the funeral pro- cession started, all work in Southerm Ireland ceased. Solemn requiem mass was celebrated for the repose of Col- lins' soul. A sorrowing nation, not yet recovered from the shock of its leader's passing, was represented in Dublin by thousands from all parts of the South, Roads near Dublin cathedral were blocked with thousands of jaunting cars, donkey carts and other vehicles which brought farmers, priests and soldiers of the Free State army to pray for Collins. Then, after the highest dignitaries of Ireland church had asked repose and eternal happiness for the slain General Collins’ comrades in arms, the Dublin brigade took charge of the body. Out past Phoenix park, former seat of British authority, from which Col- lins once fought to free Ireland, the cortege wended. Other troops of the Free State patrolled the side streets behind the crowds that were lined ten deep to see the procession, An attack upon Dublin by rebels was feared even at the solemn mo- ment of the funeral. Liam T. Cosgrave, acting head of the government, upon whose shoul- ders descended temporarily the man- tle of the Free State, walked with Richard Mulcahy, who succeeded Collins as head of the army, in the long procession. The lord mayor of Dublin, members of the dail eireann of the provisional government and of the Sinn Fein as sembly followed the soldier guard of honor, Rally Will Be Held on Queen Anne Hill Among the candidates for public office who will speak at the repub- can rally staged for Tuesday in the Queen Anne cousvesstibuat church will be J.
