SIM IS OVER Republicans NowFigure Mead Into Office. PARTY STRONG IN STATE Democrats Will Have Too' Big a Majority to Overcome. TURNER IS STRONGEST CARD Roosevelt Sentiment In the State Will Bring Many Into Line Who Are Annoyed at Outcome of Railroad Commission Issue. SEATTLE, Wash., Juno 4. (Special.) Those Democrats -who figure it easy to defeat Mead hold the Republican ma jority In this state too lightly. The figures o the last campaign show, If they can be accepted as Indi cating the normal relative strength of the -two parties, that one-third of the Eastern Washington Republican vote and one-sixth of the Republican vote In Western Washington can be thrown to the Democrats without defeating the Republican ticket. These figures certainly give the Democrats none the Vorse of a com parison of strength, for In a Presi dential year the Republican v6te will be increased, rather than diminished. They show clearly, too, that good cam ralgn management should protect the Republican state ticket against even the landslide that Democratic poll ticians claim. Great Majority to Be Overcome. Accepting the figures of two years ago, the Democrats must change 13,432 votes to win in this state this FalL That change would o'nly give them a bare majority of one vote, a margin that would be effective enough, but too uncomfortable and unsatisfactory. The stupendous task the Democracy will undertake and the wlldnessof the claim that a Democratic Gubernatorial candidate can be easily elected Is ap predated after a study of the last olec .tlon figures. They show the conten tion Is either made without considering political strength or that sublime con fidence prevails. Both parties this year accepted tho vote for Supreme Court Judges as the parly strength by apportioning con vention strength on that basis. There arc many good arguments for accept Ing this vote, the principal one being that the voter i3 less influenced by local prejudice and votes his ticket straight er for judicial than other positions, Taking the vote of the candidates for Judge of the Supreme Court as a basis. this division of strength is .shown: Comparison of Figures.

These figures serve a purpose other than that of Illustrating the, Republican strengt thatof illustrating the Republican strength in the state. They show the weakness of the anti-Republican movement by indicat ing the comparatively small vote upon which the Democrats . can draw In the antl-rallroad strongholds. The strongest outcry against the Republican ticket has been in such counties as Whitman, which is always close and doubtful; Spokane, Lincoln. Adams, Asotin. Garfield and bievens. All of these are doubtful counties at times, and in all of them the aggregate Republican vote, which Is tho one from which the Democrats would have to mus ter strength, is not the factor that the Republican vote of an average West Side county Is. 1 Even should the anti-Republican movcv ment or pro-Turner effort succeed In tak ing away one-third of the Eastern Wash ington vote, the Republicans would lose, on the basis of the vote two years ago. 6967 votes. Grant that me proportion of loss In Western Washington would be half as great a fair way of estimating It the loss of one-sixth of tho Republican votes would mean 62S0 votes gone to the Demo cratic candidate. The change of this en tire number to a Democratic candidate would itlll give the Republicans a slight majority 1K. Figured at Eastern Counties. In figuring "Eastern" Washington coun ties, such districts as Yakima and Klick itat, which are almost West Side coutles; such counties as Walla Walla, Franklin, Chelan. Okanogan and Ferry, where the antl-rallroad feeling does not become a bitter prejudice, are all Included, and. not even Democratic leaders profess to believe that one-third of the Republican vote could bo won away in these counties. In fact to draw off one-third of the vote in any county would be a feat hardly antici pated even by the Turner boomers. There are other conditions that make for Republican success this year. The Roosevelt sentiment In Washington is overwhelming. No Republican objector to the state ticket has been found who falls to declare his allegiance to the National ticket. Unquestionably Roosevelt will bring out an overwhelming Republican vote. Were the Issue submitted without, argument this could not help but aid the Republican state ticket and to even In crease the proportionate Republican ma-' jorlty. " Democrats Will Fight Roosevelt. The Democrats will fight Roosevelt In this state. This much is conceded in tho. face of the cry of Republican bolters that this policy will weaken the Democratic state ticket. Politicians agree with such declaration, for the constant attacks upon Roosevelt cannot but drive away some bolters who, for party's sake, will not follow even a Turner leadership in state politics. Turner is the Democracy's greatest card. And there are elements of great weakness about a pro-Turner fight. Mead has scarcely had a chance to meet the voters and the hysteria mat followed the conven tion is already wearing off. All these cir cumstances make the cold-blooded analy sis of the state vote appear to Indicate even stronger that Democratic success la a remote possibility. COON WILL NOT WITHDRAW. Despite Effort of Senator Wilson to Force Him Off the Ticket. SEATTLE. Wash., June 4. (Special.) An effort Is being made to induce Charles E. Coon, of Port Townsend, to withdraw from the Republican ticket and give the position of Lieutenant Governor to an Eastern Washington candidate. The movement Is being urged strong est by Wilson leaders, who hold a per sonal prejudice against Coon. They have prevailed upon State Chairman E. S. Palmer to summon Coon's friends from Port Townsend urge them to in sist upon his withdrawal. Palmer, who Is close to Wilson, has carried out the programme faithfully and declares that ho will call a meeting of the state com mittee within a few days to consider the matter. The proposal that he withdraw from the ticket was submitted to Coon a few days ago and he refused to step aside. When this refusal was made known an ultimatum was delivered, to him that in the event he refused to give up the place a fight would be made upon him, and if necessary bitter personall tise drawn into the contest. It was represented that he could not be elected In such circumstances. Coon has re mained firm, though the fight has made him ill. . A meeting of state candidates will be held on June 9 and It Is likely meeting of the statopcommlttee will be held about the same time. The pro posal that Coon's place be given to an other candidate will be brought up and discussed at that time. The anxiety of the Wilson leaders to have Coon displaced is partially ex plained by the list of "available" can dldates that have been suggested to the stato chairman. The list includes H. D. Crow and David T. Ham, of Spo kane, and Oliver Hall, of Colfax, all strong Wilson supporters; John W. Arrasmlth, who was Speaker of the House while Governor McGraw was Chief Executive, and E. C. Macdonald, who was McGraw's private secretary, Any one of these men would be more friendly to King County and undoubt edly to Wilson than Coon. Why vote for "Tom" Word? Yon don't knoiT him.

KANSAS CITY, June 4. None of the passengers Injured in the head-on col lision of the westhound Colorado flyer on the Missouri Pacific and the Holslng- ton accommodation, at Mastln, last night, was mortally hurt. Engineer C. A. Slocum, of the flyer. admitted today that he was responsible for the wreck. He said he had forgotten his orders to meet the accommodation at Mastln. The accommodation was late, and the fiver went past. Inside the passenger cars there wa3 a pcene of confusion. Travelers nad been thrown from one end to another; some lay unconscious and bleeding on the flnnr. Tir Work, of Pueblo, who was on the train going "home, took charge of them. He ordered tne sleeping car pre pared for the injured. The Pullman con rinftor refused. The doctor said: "You must make these beds." The conductor finaiiv mnaented to the use of the sleep er. Dr. Work took the sheets and pillow cases and tore tnem up ror Danaages. Wrecking crews did not reach the scene nhvsldans until five hours after the wreck occurred. Several of the Injured were brought to Kansas City, but a ma jority of those on the flyer continued on their trip West. The dead: AUGUST BLOOM, Clear Lake, S. D., steal ing a ride on blind baggage.

WHISKY - FLOWS . IN RIVERS Cattleyards Near By Are Soon Ablaze, and 3200 Steers Are Burned to Death-Loss Will Be $1,000,000. PEORIA, III., June 4. An en7nslnTi which occurred In, the 11-story ware house of the Corning Distillery Com pany this afternoon completely wreck- tne building. The ruins lmmedlatAiv took fire and communicated to three adjoining buildings which were burned the ground. Ten men were hnHfwi beneath the ruins and burned to death. Six others were seriously inlured. Th loss on. buildings and whisky and spirits stored will approximate Jl.000,000. At 7 o'clock tonight the fire had spread J the stockyards district, where a dozen ' large cattle barns filled with cattle for market were burned. The missing: "FRED K. KNOLL. LOUIS BEHREND.

Miller aiuc -rcjnoerg. A Seething Cauldron. The warehouse, containing in the neigh borhood of 30,000 barrels of whisky, was Instantly a seething cauldron, and it was known that no one Inside the big struc ture could live a moment. The warehouse. in crushing the smaller structure near by, set that on fire, and the whisky from the bursting barrels flooded everything In that section. liarge streams ran toward the river, and In a short time there was a foot of whisky In the cattle pens east of the warehouse. It was burn ing furiously, and the cries of the 3200 steers, chained fast, were pitiable to hear. Their distress lasted but a few moments, however, for they were soon dead, cither roasted or suffocated by the fumes. The two fermenting houses were speed ily destroyed. The flames threatened the mill and elevator just across the track,, where the costly 'machinery Is Installed. However, the firemen made a winning flgat here, and at 7" o'clock the fire seemed under control. Carried by Stream of Whisky. Elmer Hogan was at work in the ware house when the collapse came. He was washed out through a break in the build ing by the big stream of whisky, and car ried toward the river a distance of nearly 75 feet before being lodged against a fence, from which he managed to escape before the fire overtook him. He was so badly Injured that he cannot recover. Fred Knoll and William Finley, who had charge of the men employed In this dis trict, had just left the building when the explosion and collapse came. Knoll was crushed to the earth, and almost Instantly the place where he had fallen was envel oped In flames. It Is believed the Government men all escaped. The gaugers, 15 of whom worked at the warehouse, had completed their work and gone about 2 o'clock In the af ternoon. There were three Government storekeepers in the building, but it is re ported all of them got out safe. Warehouse No. 4, where the explosion occurred that did the damage, was an 11 story frame structure covered with cor rueated iron. It was more than 100x200 feet In dimensions. Warehouse A was a three-story brick building 100x200 feet. It contained in the neighborhood of 52,000 gallons of spirits. At midnight the ruins are still blazing and it will probably be two or three days before the flames are entirely exhausted. The fact that every bit of inflammable material was thoroughly saturated with the escaping liquor makes It almost im possible to extinguish the blaze until all the wood has been burned. Firemen kept at least 40 streams of water playing on the ruins, but it had little effect. In the cattle barns are the bodies of about 3200 head of cattle. Practically all the cattle met death so suddenly that they did not move out of their tracks. As tha torrent of burning liquor rushed down hill and enveloped the barn, it divided Itself Into numerous branches which flowed down the aisles and caused the Instant death of every animal with which it came In contact.
