Sun Organ in Tacoma Named by State Politica
The Sun will be a Tacoma organ for the people’s party with Guynor Teats listed as a “kind one” among incorporators. Reports from Olympia claim John L. Wilson backed Voorhees for congress, a falsehood, while P I and the Seattle ring supported Voorhees. The Union Journal notes W D Tyler ceased gubernatorial candidacy after becoming O and W Terr.
