The committee on permanent organiza-
ton, rules and order of business. of which
+. J. Grant was chairman, recon-
mended that the temporary organization
be made permanent, but that Frank Seidl
be added as one of the secretaries. He de-
clined as he had to leave early, and Her
bert Taylor was substituted.
The report suggested that the apportion-
ment of representation at the state con-
vention be FIVE delegates and five alter
mates each to the Twenty-fourth and
Twenty-ninth Senatorial districts, one for
each of the city wards and four at large,
making the twenty-three allotted to King
county.
The report was adopted, so far as the ap-
portionment was concerned, with but
slight modification, the effect of which was
to declare that while districts and wards
should nominate delegates, the convention
should have the power to determine
whether it would assent to the choice.
There was considerable discussion over
the recomme ndation that the chair ap-
point the four delegates-at-large Mr..
Mooney thought 1t was not just to the
chair to impose the duty upon him.
Mr.. Grant said the apportionment was
suggested in order that every part of the
county might be represented. The con-
vention had the power to delegate its
authority, but it had also the right to
review the action of any committee or
other division to which that authority
was delegated. The recommendation as
to the four delegates at-large being ap-
pointed by the chair was in the line of
precedent. There were certain elements
OF the voting population which should be
represented. and they could be more care
fully selected in that way.
George 3. Walker, OF West Seattle, said
that the plan of the committee as to ap-
portionment was the best possible way to
prevent any cry of bossism; but he OBJ
jected to the chair appointing delegates-at-
large, rs he desired to see Colonel Lyon
one of the four, and the chair was too
modest man to name himself. Laugh
ter and cheers
W. I. Scott considered it the business of
the convention to select the delegates at
large.
Or. Beach suggested that the chair name
eight persons, of whom Colonel LYON be
one. and the convention vote upon them.
1t was finally resolved TO select the nine
teen precinct delegates and then place
candidates at large in nomination, from
among whom the convention should vote
for four, those receiving the largest num-
Der Of votes and a majority of all votes
cast to be selected as delegates, and the
four receiving the next highest number TO
be the aiiernates.
On motion of T. NJ. Reed, jr., a recess
OF fifteen minutes was had for the purpose
Of caucussinC. On resuming the roll of
precincts and wards was called. and the
Chalrmen announced the local delegates.
Eleven gentlemen were then placed in
nomination, as follows, many of the NOM
inees receiving Endorsement by several
wards:
