Park Commissioner B. E. Bennett remarks
| yesterday: 1.-The attempt to organize a move.
ment against James Hamilton Lewis in the
! north end of the city has proved complete
failure. Lewis will probably have ell the dele
| gates" The testimony of J. s. Crockett Is:
| I'm not a Lewis enthusiast, bnt must admit
| that his friends working hard, while there is
! apparently no organized opposition. Under the
| circumstances l expect to see him have a large
! majority in the convention" l. d. Ross, of the
kidd committee, adds: al am unable 10 find the
! representatives OF a single substantial interest
in King county urging James Hamilton Lewis
for governor. One inference I might draw is
that he has not the support Of the conservative
strength of the county. Under the circum-
stances it is hard to see how he can get the
| nomination"

nomination il is proper 10 say that he is opposed
10 Colonel Lewis. There are 10 royal roads TO
| preierment in the Democratic party Candi-
dates are all the same plane until
/ after the convention, and then the one who gets
/ the nomination is entitled to and always
receives the support of others. Ny name is be-
ing used by my friends authoritatively. l am
/ simply candidate for the Democratic nominal

non, Hon. stephen JudsOn, and possibly others.
Ii any one Of these gentlemen should be nomi-

should be nominated believe that all of them
would support me
