A Political Forecast
With only three more weeks
of campaigning between now
ami election, the time has come
for the politicians to make their
guesses as to the results. We
are no soothsayer and the dist
ance of McCirthy from the seat
of political activity is such that
our forecast must be made up
from a collaboration of the ideas
and opinions of others as well as
from what we have seen and
heard.
As rogvrds National politics,
tin* cl vims of both parties are so
sleeping, both parties claiming
a lead pipe cinch and neither
having much actual data, upon
■which to base its claims, that we
arc not going to haz ltd an opin
ion. 11 Mr. Wilson’s personal
po Hilarity with his eight hour
ilay legislation cm overcome the
nat r il republican majority, he
will win. The vote in New York
and Indiana will in all probabil
ity.' be the deciding factor.
in Territorial politics, Sulzer
has undoubtedly' gained many
votes and by reason of the m id
being limited to three cancidntes
including Lena Morrow Lewis,
should give Mr. Wiokorsham the
closest race he lias over had.
But it is hard for a new man to
overcome the personal aequ lint
ance and undoubted nudity of a
man like the present delegate, to
say nothing of a normal major
ity in Mr, Wickersh uu s favor,
of something like 11,500 votes,
Unless something unwonted
take's place, the betting is about
two to one on Wickersham.
For the Territorial legislature
there are three candidates, Ron
an, Dooley and Frame. Ron in’s
chan ;es are poor by re i son < f
Ins stand against organized lab
or taken at the time of the Fair
ban Its strike. Dooley has a
large personal following as has
also John Frame. The betting
is about even between the two
wit ii Romm as a four to one shot.
For the lowrer house, Jos. H.
Murray is the one best bet. Joe

them are the kind of friends
who will go out and rustle for
him. In a field of eleven, he is
better than an even money fa
vorite. Charles Day made a
good legislator at the last ses
s.on and will poll a good vote.
Charles McCallum will get the
support of the organized labor
vote almost to a unit.
William Henry of Seward will
be supported by a host of old
