From an early hour Thursday
morning until the republican con-
vention was called to order the nu-
merous candidates for the legisla-
ture and the county officers were
busy rallying their forces, button
holing delegates and otherwise try
ing to secure the nominations COW
eted.
In front of Concordia hall while
waiting for the doors to open, the
many candidates displayed the great
est activity, for here the delegates
had early assembled, and an excel
lent opportunity was thus presented
for those ambitious for Office to win
doubtful or undecided votes.
The republicans appeared to have
forgotten the late sharp encounter
which took place within their ranks
and harmony and general good ma
ture prevailed.

retary of the republican county
committee, assembled the platform
and invited the delegates to the CON

seats which had been arranged for
them, aud which were marked for
each delegation, those for the city
delegates being on the left of the
chai rman, while the country delega-
tiGns occupied the seats on the
right with the exception of the
delegates from Medical Lake and
Spangle, who were placed behind
Spukane's representatives.
some time was taken by the dele
gates in finding their proper places,
and when this was done the entire
hall, back of the seats reserved for
the convention, was filed with in
terested spectators.
MIR, w. NJ. Ridpath, chairman OF
the county committee, called the
convention to order. and suggested
that before temporary organization

the roll of precincts entitled to repre-
sentation To see If delegates from
each were present. This was done
and delegates responded from oil
precincts excepting Buckeye, Rock
Lake, Grays, Stevens and Spokane
Bridge, and these, with the excep-
ton at Buckeye, reported later.
The convention then proceeded to
