y. +. Titlow defended the report of the
committee, and Titlow Is the ex-secretary
of the Republican city committee. who
was pursued through the political jungle
by the. former manipulators of Pierce
county politics. Titlow came out on top
at the primaries few days ago, and he is
now very happy. He did not want any
stock" committee to run things in tho
county. Joe Mitchell, OF Wilkeson pre-
elnct. thought 1t all n tempest in a teapot,
and Joe Is n candidate for sheriff too.
Ira \. Town, who had the honor. he
SAID, TO represent country precinct,
made just as good speech in favor of the
committees report rs Mr.. Coiner had in
favor OF his amendment. Mr.. Town said
no floating advisory committee was
needed. Ii was a shadow of the past, the
past IN which Il committee ran things in
Pierce county and the people simply voted
and did not get what they really wanted.
Still, If the convention had TO swallow
this sort of medicine. why Mr.. Town was
for downing it aud be done with it.
Town was cheered as Conner had been
cheered, probably because both hinged
their arguments on the imperative neces-
sity of nominating Doolittle for congress.
Conner again tried to speak. but an effort
was made to cry him down. The chair
said he was not Tom Reed, and would hear
Coiner, who said it was not Repub-
lican to cry him down. Town, as
point OF order, said Coiner had
had his say, but the chair decided the
point not well taken. Coiner finally
gave way to c. NJ. Easterday, who did not
want to leave the selection of delegates to
any coterie of politicians. He proposed
six delegates from each senatorial district,
10 be chosen by precincts. and the balance
-ffteen-to be chosen by Mr.. Doolittle.
Mr.. Coiner considered this simply differ
ence in method and not in purpose, and
the yesterday amendment was lost.
PUT Chairman Redman in place of that
committee" said Krelder. land | will be-
satisfied" "All right" replied Coiner;
II am satisfied so long as Mr.. Doolittle
has the supervision of selecting delegates
Generous applause followed this agree
ment, and Conner, quick to grasp an OPP
portunity. assumed to act for the chair,
and put the question, and in accord with
the vote, declared Kreider's suggestion
carried. 1t will he observed he did not
put this in the form of an amendment to
his amendment. but simply put it as the
main question. that of an amendment to
the report OF the committee
1t took the opponents of the Coiner
amendment fully half minute to catch
their breath, and then an outsider was
first to save the committees report from
defeat. ]. M. Il. Spinning did it. At
distance Mr.. Spinning is quiet-appear-
ing man, but years ago he used to CAM
paign with James G.. Blaine, and he
stepped right into the breach. He in
.,,,s ,.l. e
chair if the Kreider suggestion were not
in fact substitute for the Coiner amend
ment. Oh. yes; everybody remembered
now that their attention was called to it.
"Weli," remarked Mr.. Spinning. trifie
curtly, "now that it has been substituted,
let's have a vote on the substitution"
Mr.. Titlow also assured the convention
that Mr. Conner had no right to act for
the chair without the authority of the
convention. therefore he had no right to
pass upon the matter as he had done.
The chair took up the question where Mr..
Spinning had left off, and put the Kreider
substitute for the Coiner amendment, and
it was lost, but not quite unanimously,
and the report of the committee as re-
ported was adopted.
Coiner's reason for accepting Kreider's
amendment is accounted for by the state
ment of some of those who are secretly
working for Calkins or Bennett for COVER
nor, to the effect that Doolittle himself
would like to have Price nominated for
secretary of state. However, when this
matter was disposed OF an adjournment
was taken while the following delegates

Then the Calkins gubernatorial boost
was strengthened by resolution No. of
the report of the committee on resolutions.
The resolutions in full follow:
Resolved, That it is the first wish of the Re-
publicans OF Pierce county that Hon. w. III.
Doolittle, OF Tacoma, be nominated for mem
Der OF congress-: that the delegation from this
county to the state convention be and Is hereby
instructed 10 present his name a candidate
for that office, TO vote for him as unit and to
use all honorable means to secure his noinina-
ton.
Resolved. That after securing the nomination
OF Hon W. H. Dooittle the delegation from
Pierce county use all honorable means to secure
proper recognition the state ticket from
Pierce county
Resolved, That the delegation to the state con-
vention be instructed To vote "a a unit on a
propositions coming up before that body.
The friends of Sheriff Price are not yet
dismayed. They hone for sufficient
| strength in the delegation To secure his
support at the state convention. They
claim it nonsense to suppose DooIittle's
candidacy would be jeopardzed by the in
| dorsement of Price, because throughout
| the state two state ticket nominations
were acceded to Pierce county.
