Election of Ballinger Means Defeat
of McBrlde- Interests and No
Anti-Railroad Legislation as
, Regards Lower Rates.
' (Journal 8peclal Service.)
Seattle, Waah,, March 7. Political!
tha eyes of the people of the state of
Washington are directed to Seattle and,
the municipal campaign which will end,
tonight In a series of rallies by both
Democrats and Republicans. Interest
Indeed in the first important election In
this state : in 1904 is felt across tha
Columbia river and naturally, because
victory or aofeat for the Republican
candidate for mayor tomorrow will have
an important bearing qn .the . coming
state contest over the railroad rate
question. Judge Ballinger, as Is well
known, stands for the 'railroads and
against the McBrlde commission scheme.
His candidacy was framed toy friends of
the railroads and' he is plain and
straightforward In hla position aa
against tha renomlnation of , Governor
McBi Ide. His defeat will mean the as
cendency of the McBrlde element in
many -counties where it ia now weak.
In fact more state issues are Involved In
tomorrow's election than in any previous
municipal election in this cityi IA
An unbiased view of the situation la
that the Republican candidate will win.
It is difficult to predict the extent of
the knifing which Ballinger will receive.
Some estimates are that he will run
1.000 votes behind his. ticket This
ought to give him a majority of between
1.(00 and 2,000 votes.; A change of SOO
Republican votes to the Democratic side,
would mean a loss of 1,000 aa the re
turns, show. -This knifing will be dona
primarily by the McBrlde-Preston Re
publicans those who are supporting a
railroad commission bill, which Is. today
the principal Issue In Republican politics
In the state. .
rprtland Interested.
Portland's Interest in this contest is
not less than- that of Seattle.' Indeed,
In a way it la even greater. If Gov
ernor McBrlde wins his fight .against
the railroada In the coming state con
vention the chances are that the next
legislature will' reduce rates on grain
from the wheat belt to tide water and.
create a railroad, commission which will
lower other rates and otherwise regu
late the charges of the railroad com'
pahies. The state constitution provides
for 'a railroad commission. If Its creation
Is deemed advisable by the legislature.
It McBrlde wins the rates will be low
ered by the Great Northern and North
em Pacific companies,. The O. R. ft N.,
which hauls more of eastern Washington
wheat than any of tha other lines, will
of necessity be forced to meet this re
duction, ' i . . .
-The downhill haul of the O. R. ft N,
to Portland has been the great stumbling
block of the Washington roads In get
ting what they consider their share of
the wheat hauling trade of this state.
The Oregon road taps the richest sec
