nomination at Tacoma. The editor of
this paper Was there and heard what WAS
said. After number of speeches had
been made, Mcknight was spied in the
crowd, and was called for SO loudly that
refusal was out Of the question. He
finally complied by saying that speaking
from the stand point OF attorney for the
n. p E. r. Co. he was compelled to give
Mr.. Voorhees, credit for having done
more for the company than any other
delegate the territory ever had in con-
gress: He said the Dolph bill would
have taken two-and a a-half-milliOn acres
of land from the company in Washing
