Poindexter Draws Big Seattle Crowd In Campaign Stop
Fourteen hundred people filled the grand opera house last Saturday night for Congressman Poindexter's Seattle campaign, with strong applause and praise from supporters. Opponents touring rural towns reported low interest, and local papers reportedly avoided promoting the event.
