jority of those who are holding have their
grain stored in the Farmers' Union ware

about half the grain Is held by farmers.

crop by the scarcity of cars. A. D. Shel

importance of high ideals In both teach

also said no other county In the state
has a high school building and equipment
equal to what Klamath County possesses.
Addresses were delivered by Professors
Alderman and Dressier and much dis

TAGQMALOSES HOPE
Knifing of Judge McCredie Be
lieved Fatal.
WILSON PROFITS THEREBY
Looked On as Strongest Candidate
for Senator With Judg Burke
or Senator Piles as Chief Op
ponents in Campaign.
(Continued from First Pase.l
United States Senator and owner of the
Post-Intelligencer. This belief is based
on the assumption that there will be
no Tacoma candidate who will have a
sufficient following to command the sup-i
port of the Tacoma press. S. A. Perkins,
owner of the Tacoma morning and even
ing leading dallies, is a strong personal
friend of Senator Wilson and It is be
lieved that his newspapers will Indorse
the Wilson candidacy if it can be done
without antagonizing Tacoma interests,
as now seems likely. In addition, Per
kins owns the two dailies In Olympla,
controls one In Everett and owns another
in Bellingham. All these, it Is pointed
out, may be, lined up for Senator Wil
son. Wilson Club Active.
The Wilson Club In Seattle is continu
ing its active work in sounding sentiment
in Eastern Washington and endeavoring
to secure -he support of country news
papers. The assertion is made that more
than 100 country papers are already
pledged to Wilson's support. Ex-Senator
Wilsonis not an avowed candidate, but
his personal following has a fairly definite
understanding that he Is in the fight.
Wilson's principal opponent, as now In
dicated, will either -be Judge Thomas
Burke or Senator Piles. Here it Is be
lieved that what is holding Judge Burke
back is the uncertainty of Senator Piles'
Intentions. No one has been able to get
a public statement out of Senator Piles,
and his friends say he has not yet made
up his mind.
Close friends of Senator Piles say all
that is staying him from seeking re-election
is personal finances. The general im
pression that he is a wealthy man is in
correct. It is declared. Senator Piles, in
stead of making several hundred thou
sand dollars out of the famous Sullivan
will case, sold his Interests therein for
about J15.000. He owns a business lot on
Third avenue, estimated to be worth
about J15O.O0O. and his private residence,
valued at J7O0O or JSOOO. These two pieces
of property are said to compose his total
personal assets. The very lucrative law
practice that he once had was necessarily
abandoned when he entered the Senate,
and his personal Income ia not sufficient
to maintain his position in Washington
successfully as a United States Senator.
Senator Plies' health also is not very

good, and the two matters combined may
causo him to keep oui oi xne pn;iw...i
trying and expensive primary campaign.
Judge Burke's-candldacy lias .already
been indorsed by the executive com
mittee of the Toung Men's Republican
Club at a meeting in which Senator
Pile's probable retirement was dis
cussed. Some of the club members at
the meeting declared they had con
firmation of the story that Piles would
drop out of the fight.
As opposed to Wilson, Judge Burke
would probably receive more enthusi
astic support from the Seattle Times
than would Senator Piles, The Times
also . controls two daily' papers in
'Bellingham and they may be expected
to support Judge Burke if he is a can
didate. Polndexter Wants to' Insure.
The situation is complicated by the
probability that Judge Miles Poln
dexter. Representative in Congress
from the Spekane district, may enter
the race as an avowed insurgent candi
date. Judge Polndexter mfght develop con
siderable strength in Eastern Wash
ington, but In view of the fact that
Senator Jones is from that section of
the state, the more largely populated
western section will naturally desire
a West Side Senator. Juflge Polndex
ter took his seat in Congress avowing
his opposition to 'fcannonism.". The
result was that when Speaker Cannon
announced his committee assignments.
Congressman Polndexter was relegated
to the chairmanship of the committee
on ventilation and acoustics. Congress
man Polndexter is now, it is said,
anxious to Join La Follette and "in
surge" In the Senate.
Some politicians believe that John E.
Humphries, of this city, will be an Im
portant factor in the contest. Judge
Humphries blossoms out as a candi
date for some important office or other
as regularly as an election rolls around,
but until the last primary election he
was never taken seriously. Last year.
Judge Humphries sought nomination to
the Supreme Bench, making a direct ap
peal to the labor vote by promising "Jus

He advertised his candidacy in a man
ner that scandalized the more ethical
members of the bar. but the plan of
campaign nearly won him the nomina
tion. Judge Humphries is now an avowed
candidate for the United States Senate

Bride as a Senatorial candidate in the
event Piles steps out. Governor ifcBride
is now running a shingle mill in Skagit
County and it is said has not been ap
proached on the subject. Henry McBrlde
was elected Lieutenant-Governor in 1901
and succeeded to the position of execu
tive when Governor John R. Rogers died.
He sought the nomination for Governor
in the state convention in 1904 and was
defeated by A. E. Mead. In 1908, Mc
Brlde was a candidate in the first pri
mary election In which Mead .was sup
ported by Senator Wilson's newspaper.
IGHT Choos-
is the Key
to Clothes
Satisfaction
Owing to the
omen's outer wear-
As the result of the bitterness of the
contest, neither Mead nor McBrlde was
successful and S. S. Cosgrove. now de
ceased, was nominated on second choice
votes. In the past. McBrlde has had a
strong following in Eastern Washington
because of his advocacy of the railway
commission law. enacted since his retire
ment. Governor McBride is said to have
no desire to enter another political con
test, but it is thought enemies of John
L. Wilson might induce him to run for
the Senate for the sole purpose of even
ing his score with the ex-Senator.
