The people Of Ellensburgh should be
proud of citizen who is so highly spoken

"Thos. M. Reed of Olympia, is John Nc
Graw's candidate for governor, his son
Mark, the deputy state auditor, is rising
young man, another son is register of the
United States land office at Seattle, and

father is elected governor" The article
says s'it runs in the blood" and that Mr..
Reed Sr. has been good official and has
grown gray during the time he has been in
office through the kindness of the republi-

]. r. Whinnery, one of the delegates to,
the Seattle convention from Lewis county,
says of the struggle: aMr. Herren had
been straining every nerve to make bigger
showing Of strength than Benedict. Bene-
dict received SO on the first ballot to nine
for Herren. After King gave six votes for
Herren, Pierce retaliated with eight for
Benedict. Before the result was announced
King took her six votes from Herren and
gave them to Hastings of Port Townsend,
| who thus received 106, lacking but one Of
election. All the candidates dropped out
except Davis, on whom we had united, and
Hastings of Port Townsend and Mont
gomery of Wahkiakum. After several ex-
citing ballots the last named dropped out,
and Davis received 122 votes to 81 for Hast
ings. 1t was victory of Pierce over King,
and the clubs present from Tacoma gave
their war song over and over again after
/ the result was declared.
