Your committee recommend that I'm
accordance with the call of the central
committee and former republican con-
ventions, no proxies be allowed except
given to, duly elected delegates from the
county in which the proxy is given, and
we further recommend that the duly
admitted delegates in the counties where
proxies have been given to persons not
duly elected, be allowed to cast the full
vote of the county. 1t Is recommended
that all parties having come in good
faith with proxies be accorded the privi-
loges of the floor of the convention. Re
spcctfllly submitted.
GEORGE II. EMERSON, Chairman.
j. j. CALuoUG, Secretary.
Several names were addcd;and changes
made, which appear in the above list.
Major Barton wished to say some.
thing about the recommendation re.
garding proxies, but was ruled out OF
order.
Evans of Tacoma asked that those
recommendation be read again, which
was done.
Barton declared that this was unfp 'r
and unrepublican, and would rule out Il
whole delegation in some cases and
leave the county unrepresented.
| Bier oil the committee said the reason
| the com mittec recommended this course
was to keep the counties from being
misrepresented that
| MONEY HAD BEEN OFFERED
| for proxies, and men had been known
/ to secure proxies who could not get one
quarter OF the votes in the precincts.
Thad Huston of Tacoma snid that as u
good republican he should bow to the
will of the convention, nevertheless,
! but that the recommendation was un-
fair and unrepublican. He was not q
member of the convention, but held the
proxy of gentleman who had asked
him to come and act for him. He had
not doubt that the convention would
I provide good ticket without his weak
| services, and 10th for himself and his
| principal
/ he pledged his support to the ticket that
should be nominated but still he wish.
cd to protest against the unfairness OF
excluding such proxies, and thanked
the convention for listening to him.
Geoghegan moved to adopt the report
as it stood, recommendations and all.

dcmunded and had, each county being
called and the vote announced. II
