OLTMPIA. Wuh, Dec. 23. (Special) What part, if any. Governor Lister will take in tne coming fight for the Democratic nomination for United States Senator is engaging: the atten tion of Democrats in all parts of the state. The Democratic contest looks like a four-cornered one. between Oeorge F. Colterill. Mayor of Seattle: George Tur ner, of Spokane: Judge Black, of Ever ett, and Hugh C Todd, of Seattle. Governor Lister has been keeping; discreetly silent, but his friends do not regard it as likely tht he -will support Turner. Black or Todd. Friends of the Seattle Mayor, on the other hand, are hopeful that the Governor may be in duced to come out openly In favor of Cotterill. About the best that backers of the other candidates hope is that Lister will keep out of the matter alto gether. It is regarded as somewhat signifi cant that of Governor Lister's Demo cratic appointees In Olympia. a consid erable majority seem to favor CotterilL Primary Bales la Dcabt. What the conditions will be under which the Senatorial light will be waged In the primaries next year Is a matter that is causing politicians con siderable worry. Congress is expected to take some actlnsi that will make the direct election of Senators possible, and almost every member of the Washing ton, delegation has Introduced a bill for this purpose. Action will be taken on one of these at the present session of Congress, it is believed. Most of these bills provide merely that the sarm. laws governing the se lection of other officers, such as Gov ernor or Representative In Congress, shall apply in the Senatorial election. If a bill of this pattern passes Con gress, there will be second-choice vot ing In the Democratic primaries at least. , . . The Washington law provides that when there are four or more candi date for a nomination of any one party, both first and second choices must be voted. There already are four Democratic candidates. Three Progressives la Race. There are three Progressive candi dates at present for the nomination. They are Representatlves-at-Large Fal coner and Ilryan. and Ole Hanson. A fourth may enter the race and give the Bull Moose second-choice votes also. There is practically no chance that second-choice voting will worry the Republicans .and Senator Jones at pres ent occupies the held alone. This also Is the case in most of the Congressional districts. There are no active candi dates against Rr presentatlves Humph rey. In the first district; Johnson, In the third, or La Follette, In the fourth. Republican leaders, who were congrat ulating themselves on avoiding trouble between discordant elements, now are in some fear that there may have been too much Inaction. In the second district, where the field la thrown open by the fact that Rep resentative Falconer will run for the Senate, a sharp light is brewing. W. J. iiiggar. of Bellingham. and State Sena tor Campbell, of Everett, are in the field for the Progressive nomination, while State Senator Troy, the founder of the state agricultural department, who has attained more recent notice by making a Christmas present of a thorougnorea jersey cow i Lister, will contest with Earl Huated. of Everett, on the Democratic side. Republicans are not actively in the nght yet. though they have a good chance In this district. MORE MEN JRUSH" CAFES Xlne Arreted for Refusing to Paj Afler Having Katen.

National banks In Oregon, Washing ton, Idaho, Montana and Alaska alone have almost enough capital and surplus to form a regional reserve bank under the provisions of the newly-enacted currency bill, but whatever deficit may exist willxbe readily supplied by the state banks, private banks and indi vidual citizens. Thus is exploded one argument that has been so readily aervanced by oppo nents of the plan to establish a second regional bank on the Pacific Coast. The combined capital and surplus of all the National banks In the four Northwestern states and Alaska is ap proximately J47.000.00O. While the new law requires the banks to subscribe 6 per cent of their com bined capital and surplus to the capital of the regional, bank tn tnelr district, i .,tM mmn that na recrional bank shall be established witn a capital of less than $4,000,000.
