do you think of it," the Posr-ISrrLLI-

After being punched up at intervals Of
ten minutes, the committee reported at
3:15 o'clock. It virtually seated all the
Griggs men and ex cluded the Wallace con-
testing delegation.
There was an ominous silence. to be fol-
lowed by the committee on organizations
report in favor of united support for one
delegate to Chicago. Michael Dowd, for
the minority on the committee, reported
for the Wallace faction, In favor of each
senatorial district choosing its delegate
independently. The report Of the mi
nority was sat upon, and Mr.. Dowd said:
1t cannot be disguised that there Is . contest
here. We arc willing that both candidates
presumably Griggs and wallace) 60 before the
Vancouver convention. We ask only fair play.
are here looking after the record OF this conven-
ton. Your duty is plainly to allow both candi-
dates to go before the Vancouver convention.
The Wallace faction pleaded for the era
sure of the unity clause from the majority
report. The plea was rejected. Then the
nominating committee reported thirty-one
delegates to Vancouver. While the names
were Icing read members of the Wallace
faction evinced their disapproval by sar-
castically calculating the word Good"
The majority put through the report
and slicked up its work by adopting John
P. Judson's motion pledging the delega-
ton to Chauncey w. Griggs as candidate
to Chicago. The minority asked for unity
for Wallace but Of course it was denied.
Wallace's men scored one lone point,
however. They claimed it out of order for
to organize new county committee, as
the call for the convention did not include
it. The chair said it had been meditating
on the question, and decided in that Wal
lace's following was right. For the ma
jority, L. E. Post appealed, the division
resulting forty-six to thirty-seven in favor
of the Wallace people. During the divis-
ion derisive shouts of "Rats," "Pull them
in" and "You'll hear from US again" went
up from the Wallace corner.
There was nothing left to do but to adj
journ. and the convention did it, while tho
Wallace youths exclaimed, THAT'S har-
mony," with enough sarcasm to imply
that the convention was not saturated
with unity on any proposition.
On the side the chair said it would not
stultify itself, no matter what was the
question or how presented.
The delegates chosen to the Vancouver
state convention were:
Colonel c. w. Griggs, J. P. Judson, Frank Mas
SOW, C. C. Cherry, L. L. Post, ]. c. Weatherred,

The younsters tonight cry for vengeance.
Here are some of their VOWS: ITO knife
Tom Carroll and prevent him from going
to congress; to snow under everybody
identified with the Griggs war horses, even
if Republicans or Prohibitionists must be
supported, and to avenge the insinuations
that Steve O'Brien and the young mems
faction sold out Alexander Parker for
mayor. But the war horses say this is
nonsense and hot-headed talk. Although
Parker sat in the old mems council today
his presence evoked not the least enthusi-
asm. As for Griggs, the young men rele-
gate him to obscurity forever, saying he
cannot go to the United States Senate even
though, as the youngsters say, he today
pledged $4,000 for campaign purposes for
the fall election. Wallace and the young
mems faction having been fioored SO
adroitly it is not expected that they will
carry the Pierce county fight into the Van
couver convention.
