Sept. 5. (Special.) If tha primary election In this state had been held two montlis ago It is likely that Congressman W. I. Jones would have won the Senatorial race hands down. Two months have brought a chang-e tn the situation, however, and while the chances still look fair for Jones, the vote promises to be a close one. The apparent falling away of Jones' strength has been due. In a measure, to the constant pounding of a perfect organi sation working in behalf or senator An- keny. In addition to that. Jones blun dered tn the manner of conducting his campaign. His open charges of corrup tion aaalnst Senator An keny have re dacted on himself. Some of Congressman Jones' most ardent admirers admit that he and the papers that are supporting him have overstepped the line and that votes have been lost by it. The candidacy of W. H. Snel!. of T coma, does not seem to have awakened i responsive chord. Gubernatorial Contest Lively. Tho bitterness Injected into the contest over the euoematorial nomination Is working out something like thecampaign between Jones and Ankeny for we ten- atorship: with the exception that whereas the principal fight has been between Mead -nd McBrlde. both candidates nave mm bv It. Factional troubles hsve made pos slble the nomination of Cosgrove or At kinson. Soma of the most observant of poll tlclans now look for a close race on first choice votes among Mead, McBride and jCosgrove. Contests over other state offices have been free from bitterness among the can didates. Judge J. W. Robinson's attack upon the two members of the Supreme Court who are candidates for re-election has not produced startling results and indica tions point to the nomination of Judges Root. Crow and Chadwick. In the Third Congressional District Judge Miles Poindexter has led a vig orous fight on Tax Commissioner T. T. Rockwell, both being candidates for Con gress. A short while ago there were strong predictions of the success of Lee A. Johnson in the Third district, but a straw vote now being taken in Spokane gives Poindexter a big lead over h)s numerous competitors. Xlchols Picked as Winner. Secretary of State Sara H. Nichols, whose opponent la County Auditor L M. Howell, of Tacoma, has considerable newspaper opposition in Western Wash ington, caused largely by jealousies over the advertising patronage of his office. Nichols Is picked as the winner by those persons who have predilections for guess ing. The same character of newspaper opposition is also directed against J. H. 6ch4vely. candidate for Insurance Com missioner. Mr. Schlvely would be con sidered a certain viator were it not that the perplexing second choice provision applies to the candidate running for that Anfflce. , Albert Helander, one of his opponents, has a strong Scandinavian backing. Cal Welbon has the Spanish War Veterans working for him and D. R- Bullock's location In Eastern Washington will give him some advantage In that part of the state. The office of land Commissioner has been almost entirely omitted from discus sion during the campaign. E. W. Roes' moat formidable opponent is 8. A. Call vert, who preceded him as Land Com missioner. Neither has been making a very strenuous campaigns George W. Rowan, a lawyer townsman of Mr. Ross, has been sending out circular letters from Castls Rock to all the Presbyterian ministers In the state asking them to use their Influence to defeat Rosa. Mr. Rowan signs the letters as a trustee of the church. He declares that the legisla tive Investigating committee of the last legislature "whitewashed" the conduct of the land office. Rowan disclaims to be working In the interests of either of the other candidates. Clouded by Second Choice Rule. The contest over the office of Attorney General and Lieutenant Governor Is also, clouded by the second-choice provision. J. H. Easterday. who Is seeking the former place, has been making the most vigorous campaign of the four running. Next In activity has been R. H. Klpp, of Colfax, while W. V. Tanner and W. R. Bell are -heard from once In a while. It looks like Kasterdsy would get the greatest number of first-choice votes, but if this number Is not 40 per cent then the result la a mere guess. While State Auditor C W. Clausen has two opponents neither hes been very i gCIlve Ul t-OJli y II 1114 I1U V.IWJOCU urn InnV.il nnnn .j. rrtnln ftt nomination For Lieutenant-Governor the fight seems to be pretty evenly divided among Charles E. Coon. M. E. Hay and Ellis Morrison, with the second choice pro vision keeping everyone guessing. C G. Austin, the fourth candidate, has not made a vigorous campaign. Indications point to a large vote in the primaries next Tuesday, especially in Western Washington and in the towns snd cities of Eastern Washington. The bulk of the vote In the rural districts will depend on the condition of the har vest and the state of the weather. Reg istration is high In all cities and towns where It is required. The total Republi can vote is likely to be In the neighbor hood of 86.000. Xotables Arrive From China. VICTORIA. B. C, Sept 6.
