Lady Willie Forbus, Prosecuting Attorney Malcolm Douglas’ democratic opponent, was giving him » hard race, and there was even an outside chance—very slim, indeed, how: ever—that she might nose him out.

Initiative No. 46, providing for the 30-10 Plan of school taxation, seems to have lost by a fairly heavy ma jority The various referendums—No. 12, | | Election Sidelights | on the certificate of necensity law; No, 13, on medical examination in the schools, and Nos. 14 and 15, on the primary law—were all defeated overwhelmingly.

On seeing the Penrose headline he remarked toa political friend, “I was one of the six men who controlled the senate of the United States; now I am one of the five.” * eo * * And there you have the evolution of Miles Poindexter in a nutshell. Once the fiery, progressive people’s leader; the determined, courageous foe . of Cannonism; the the great rank and man who looked to file of the voters of the state of Washington for his inspira- tion and his program. Later the confidante of Lodge and Penrose; one who fancied, at least, he was a member of the select senate-ruling clique, if he was not so in fact; the poli- tician who forgot the folks back home and at last gained all his ideas and ideals from the star chamber deliberations of stale, ultra-reactionary Old Men of the capitol and from captains of finance and industry who share their council table-on matters of public concern.

Walter M. Pierce, democrat, was steadily increasing his majority over Gov. Ben W. Olcott, incumbent, as returns flowed in from the state at large. At 11:15 today the vote for gov- ernor stood: Pierce, democrat republican, 87,628. This vote was for the state at large.

Because in a few of the precincts checked up the republicans cast five times as many straight ballots as the democrats, this 1s expected to cut down Dill's lead considerably. Whether this condition exists in Seattle and Spokane is not known, but ff It does it may change the figures. Country precincts, how- ever, that are now coming in slowly do not put Poindexter ahead as his backers had expected, many of the farming districts going strong for Dil.
