Thus the King county delegation went TO the

would have no such plank il the state Platform
and with the help of few traitors from King
they carried things their own way. Here is the
attitude Of the state convention:
We strongly condemn the course OF Senators

When the above platform adopted by the
convention in spite OF King county delegates,
Colonel Lewis, the strongest candidate in the
field, absolutely declined TO accept the nonina-
