Politics at The Home of Brents and
Alien.

The Republican primaries were held
in Walla WalIa county on Saturday.
August "a. In each of the four CITY pre-
cincts, two tickets were in the field and
voted on The Allen ticket was looked
after by an enthusiastic band OF ward
workers, who in every instance made
their work tell. The Brents forces were
not organized, and effective work was
done in but one preeinct-South Walla
Walla. As the time for closing the polls
more intense, and votes weEe rushed in
rapidly. When the votes were counted
It was found that the Allen ticket was
ahead ia North Walla Walla, Baker and
Small precincts, while the Brents ticket
was elected in SOUTH Wal WaIla. The
way in which tickets for the primaries
were gotten up, without consulting, in
many cases, men whose names were put
on, renders it a difficult matter to tell
just what the complexion df the dele
gates elected are. The Allen faction
claim that all but FIVE of the city dele=
gates have preference for that gentle
man, while the RreRts- faction
claim that of the tlAFty=three delegates
from the four city precincts, II are in
favor of their candidate. A conserya-
tive estimate is that l6 of the So dele+
gates are Brents men. These, together
with six from WaltsbHrg, one from Pres.
colt and one from Wallula would give
MFR. Brents strength of "a m the con-
vention, as opposed to like number for
MIR. Allen. The other country precincts
viii. very probably send delegates to the
convention in about like proportions. If
the Allen faction figure correctly the
delegates mentioned here would be:
Brents IL, Allen 81. The primaries
throughout the country are reported to
be the best attended known in our his.

The ticket nominated by the del,-

which will bring out the entire

harmonious and Uul;"d, and deter

mated i'r the legislature are men OF
ability and men who have always
proven themselves capable N every
position that they have been called
upon to hll.
MIR. Geo Il. Jones, as delegate
TO the constitutional convention, re
allzed iniIy ID" expectations OF his
many friends, and proved his ability
to protect the interests and welfare
OF jefferson county. Upon ali The
many questions that came before that
body, he exerted marked Influence
and succeeded in having eucrafted to
the constitution many wise and nee
sssary sections. As q legislator Mr.
Jones will rrovo himself competcrt
and qualified. At all times will he
be found earnestly STRIVING to ad-
vance the interests Of jefferson
county.
MIR. A. y. Plummer, who has been
nominated to represent Jefferson
county, along with Mr.. Jones, is one
of Port Townsend's most successful
business men. In all questions of a
public nature MIR. Plammer is always
found first and foremost The con
yention is to be commended in their
selection Of Mr. Plummer. His large
circle Of acquaintances makes him a
Formidable candidate and one that
the Democrats cannot deIeat- LII
Dir. Plummer and Mir. Jones, Jehe1-

The gentlemen selected to be the
candidate of the party 1or county

II. Jones because he has not suffi-

OF course the CALL has to make q
