with che distinction bestowed upon me of
being selected as your temporary presiding
officer. / shall take but little of your time
and shall make no extended remarks.
shall ask the assistance of this convention
in performing the duties of temporary
chairman and rely upon the fact that in
all American politics all questions of inn
portance are settled by numbers. there
fore feel that nothing devolYes upon me
which cannot be easily accomplished with
your assistance. In the deliberations Of
this body hope we will all bear in mind
that there is always plenty of time to
quietly, carefully and without acrimony
settle all questions that is an important
thing to be always borne in mind by every
member ofa convention. We are now en-
tering upon the duty, for the first time in
the history of the state, of selecting a state
ticket for a full term of office. For the first
time in the history of this state we shall Sc
lect presidential electors. 1t is a year Of
great importance to the state of Washing
ton as well as to the whole country. The
great northwest is to have, in a measure
keynote in the work of this convention
which shall go from here to all parts of the
country, and it is certainly year when
we must take time to carefully deliberate
and cheerfully accede to each 9th
er's wishes so that the result
may 90 forth as an invincible
fact that the best men have been chosen.
This is time when nothing else shall
serve and with a strong ticket, with pro-
lection behind US, with solid substantial
money before us and with a campaign Of
enthusiasm, as it is bound to be, we are
sure to win" (Applause.)
