This Victory for Senator Jones and Entire Delegation to Con gress Is Seen. Columbus Day Maneuvers at Vancouver Barracks Will Raise Benefit Funds. Qo Sale DAIRYMEN T0 GATHER 'Washington Association Plans Dis cussions by Experts. tat OTHER PARTIES ACTIVE DRESS PARADE IS FEATURE Democrats Admit Their Best Chances Are in First, Fourth and Fifth Districts Progressives Try for Certain Places. OLYMPIA. Wa.sh., Oct 10. (Spe cial.) The Washington political cam paign, late in beginning this year, is virtually in full swing in spite of the1 absence from the state of most of the Republican Congressional candidates, still held by duty at Washington. While the three leading parties are active in all parts of the state. Demo cratic and Progressive efforts are being centered on certain officers and districts, while Republicans are making a broader campaign in the hope that Senator Jones may be re-elected and an all-Republican delegation sent back with him to the lower house of Con gress, in which Washington now is represented by three Republicans and two Progressives. Democrats admit that their best chances for procuring Congressional representation lie in the First, Fourth and Fifth districts. In the First Dis trict, comprising the City of Seattle and Kitsap County, Representative Humphrey. Republican, is making a Kturdy fight for re-election, but is facing a bitter contest. Ex-Mayor Moore in Race. Tn the effort to cause Mr. Humphrey's defeat the Democrats have nominated William Hickman Moore, ex-Mayor of Seattle, and a lawyer of ability. Mr. Moore is making his campaign, as are most of the other Democratic candi dates, on the plea that Democrats should be elected to indorse the Wilson Administration, and it also is being urged in Moore's behalf that Humphrey's hostility to the Adminis tration will prevent him from obtain ing any political favors for his dis trict during the Wilson term of office. Austin K. Griffiths, Chief of Police of Seattle, is the Progressive nominee in the First District, and also is proving a strong candidate. Republican lead ers, however, believe Mr. Humphrey will be elected. Mayor Gill, of Seattle, while making no attempt to interfere with Griffith's campaign for Congress, has issued a, statement indorsing Humphrey. Mr. Gill will be away from Seattle during most of the campaign, however. Democratic Chances Slim. In the Second District, comprising the northwestern counties of the state, Democratic chances admittedly are negligible and John E. Campbell, State Senator and labor leader, the Progres sive nominee. promises to be the strongest opponent of Lindley Hadley, the Republican candidate. - It is believed, however, that Hadley will win. " In the Third District, comprising Southwestern AVashington, Representa tive Johnson, the Republican nominee, apparently has much the best of the race. This district never has polled a strong Democratic vote, while the re cent primaries showed a great falling off in the Progressive strength. In the Fourth and Fifth districts, both east of the Cascades, the Demo cratic candidates are considered hy some to have virtually equal chances with the Republican nominees. The Fifth District, comprising Spo kane and the other Northeastern coun ties, promises a close race between Harry Rosenhaupt, Republican, and C. C. Dill, Democrat. Thomas Corkery is the Progressive nominee, but al though Spokane was strongly Progress, ive two years ago, the falling off of Bull Moose strength apparently has left the fiarht between the Republican and Democratic nominees. Senator Jones' Opponent Active. With Senator Jones still absent from the state the Senatorial fight has not yet gathered the headway of the Con gressional district contests. Republi cans confidently assert that Senator Jones will be re-elected, however, while from surface indications Ole Hanson, the Progressive candidate, is thus far his strongest opponent. Hanson has Tnade a more thorough canvass of the far corners of the state than any other candidate and is well supplied with campaign funds. The strength of Judge Black, the Democratic nominee, is an unknown factor. In the primary of two years ago, in which he led all Democratic aspirants for Governor, and in the re cent Senatorial primaries Judge Black did not appear strong until two or three weeks before the election. On each occasion enough ballots were cast In his favor to place him at the head of the list of Democratic aspirants. That this "silent vote" will again come to the support of Judge Black is the hope of his campaign managers. Judge Black's campaign starts somewhat handicapped, however, by the fact that Democrats of the state administration are not enthusiastic for him since his combination with George Turner to de feat J. D. Trenholme, of Seattle, for state chairman. BAKER DEMOCRATS DIVIDE Independent Candidate for County Judge Causes Rift in Ranks. BAKER, Or.. Oct. 10. (Special.) Spice has been added to the political campaign in Baker County in the county office contests by the entrance Into the race of George B. Saunders, County Commissioner, as' an independ ent candidate for County Judge. Mr. Sounders is compleiing a four-year term as Commissioner and his entrance in the race means a contest for an of fice. J. B. Messick, a Democrat, won his Piirty nomination at the primaries and. in the absence of candidates of other party affiliation, also obtained the Re publican and Progressive nominations. Mr. Messick formerly held this same position. Mr. Saunders is also a Demo- erat and It is hinted that his candidacy at this time may cause a rift in the Democratic ranks throughout the county.
