GILMAN PREDICTS DEFEAT.
A Result or Personal Politics-Burke
Equally Emphatic.

Equally Emphatic.
D. u. Gilman, chairman of the Democratic
state committee returned from Olympia yester-
day to attend to private business. He did not
attempt to conceal his disgust at the action OF
the convention. When asked for his opinion,
he said with an ironical smile:
Ohl It's a beautiful convention: it's charm
Ing convention. The crowd that went down on
the sehoms carried banner with the inscrip-
ton:
ave Have No Politics but Lewis"
In other words, they belong to the Lewis
party and not to the Democratic party. That is
what those terriers practica lly said. This is
what personal politics brings a community to.
We have had nothing but personal politics for
the last year and as result King county Is not
represented By her representative mea.
What do you think of the canal plank in the
platform?
The Democratic ticket will be beaten by 10000
majority in the state-yes, in King county.
King county has lost its spirit, IL it is not
Mr.. Gilman then read the plank on the canal
question first advocated by the King county
delegation as follows:
We favor and recommend such Just and lib
eral appropriations for coast protection and gen.
eral Improvements a shall be for the benefit of
the state. We condemn any expenditure OF the
public moneys having for its purpose the adj
vance msnt OF private enterprise, and remarked
upon it:
That was drawn up by Lewis and was in
tended to mean one thing in King county and
adopted is a lie on the face OF it, for it says:
We indorse the action of the Democratic
House OF Representatives in refusing an appro-
priation for the Lake Washington ship canal,
and We condemn the course of Senators Alien
and Squire and Representative Wilson in their
advocacy OF this measure to the detriment of
appropriations for the necessary improvement
OF the rivers and harbors OF this state.
The fact is that Senators Squire and Allen got
the Senate to increase the appropriations for all
other improvements and they got $lO0.0O0 more
Tor this state from the Democratic House than
the House had first allowed, while the only ap-
preparation on which they were turned down
was the one for the canal Thus this conyen-
ton is really indorsing Squire and Allen and
the Republican Senate for giving increased ap-
proprlations tor improvements other than the
canal, while ii in effect condemns the House for
not giving larger appropriations in the first III
stance. The Washington delegation has got
", 0OO, 600 for the Columbia river from the last
and the present congress and yet the convention
condemns them for neglecting this improve
ment in favor of the only one ON which they
were turned down.
Judge Thomas Burke, the other leading anti.
Lewis Democrat, said:
think the convention made splendid selec-
tons for electors aud they will undoubtedly be
elected.
When asked what he thought Of the canal
plank he said:
Viewed in any light It must BE- considered the
most stupid performance ever yet witnessed In
any Democratic convention

Officer McCready filed his resignation
with the city clerk this afternoon, the
council at a special meeting held this
morning having requested him to do so.
He at first refused, but he was notified by
the city council that charges would be
preferred against him, and that mono of
his bills would be audited, as DR.. s. B.
Limerick had been engaged to take
charge of the patients. Another pest
house has been secured, to take the
place of the ones previously destroyed by
fire, and DR.. Limerick, who will act as
health officer until formally elected to sue
coed DR.. McCready, has already vacci-
mated those who have been in any way ex-
posed to the disease, and announces his
determination to quarantine all persons
and premises that have been rendered
liable to cause its spread and to enforce
the health ordinance to the strict letter
without fear or favor.
With the enforcement of the stringent
provisions Of our health ordinance it may
be said there is no danger of q further

DR.. Michigan, medical health officer of
the Vancouver district, has resigned the
last case in the district having been dis
charged this afternoon, and the house
wherein the patient was burned.
Health Officer Sparkling returned from sno-
homish last night, where he had gone to investi-
gate the smallpox epidemic, with q view Of pos
sibly declaring a quarantine against that town.
The investigation resulted In the discovery OF
tive cases, which are, however, under close
surveillance, aud he decided that the extreme
measure OF quarantine is not warranted by ex-
listing conditions. DR.. Sparkling was met by Dr.
Harris, of the Everett board OF health, and Dr.
Hathaway, of the state board OF health, and in
consultation they all agreed that quarantine
was not necessary. It was shown that Health
Officer McCready, of Snohomish, had been guilty
OF gross negligence. He claimed that the city
council would not grant him an appropriation
and the latter body charged the physician with
incompetence. The council demanded his
resignation, and at first he refused but later in
the afternoon he acceded and resigned: and DR..
Limerick was appointed to the position. One
patient at the nesthOuse died last night

None of the PuyalIup hop growers, as far

crowd of anxious Democrats stood In front
OF the PosT-INTSLLIaENCRR'S bulletin board
and of Goldwaters cigar store, where the Posi-
INrELLIGKNCERs bulletins were also posted all
the afternoon, and grew to several hundreds
when the fight came On the canal plank neared
Q crisis. Kisses and yelis greeted the announce
ment that the anti-canal plank had been
adopted, and from that time on 1t was the
sorest crowd OF Democrats ever seen. Without
waiting to see who the candidates would be.
they began cursing the convention, and one
after another declared that he would vote for
McGraw rather than any man who would run
on such platform. Fire Commissioner Foster
said, in deep disgust:
The stand of the convention on the canal
Will do much harm. 1t Is all Lewis fault Ii

about politics Lewis turned him down. The
whole defeat serves him right

W. E. Crews, Democratic candidate for superior
Judge, admitted, with heartrending sigh that
the action of the convention would be fatal to
the success of the Democratic county ticket.
He whisted considerably to keep up his courage
Thornton Goldsby who had just returned
from Olympia, stopped to look at the bulletin
board and express his indignation at the fight
on the canal He said:
Those fellows who went down from King
county tn defeat Lewis at all hazards ought 10
be shown up. They were working secretly
against the canal all the time in order to get
Lewis out OF the way.
All that A. D. Warner had 20 say was:
Well, those fellows have got into a nice COM
biuation. They've Knocked us sure.
John G. Terry, when Ronald's name was pro-
posed, said:
Now they're throwing sop to King county.
Ex-sheriff William Coehrane stood in front OF
Godwater's, and openly declared that he
would support John II. McGraw.
Terence O'Br!en, il the utmost heat, said
without equivocation that be would support
Nctiraw for governor.
The crowd waited inpatiently while the nom.
nations for electors were being made whiting
away the time by growing at the canal plank.
When the news came that Carroll had been
nominated for congress. angry Democrats re-
marked: THAT platform was made for a Ia

given three hearty cheers. Warmers declina-

the news that the nomination had been PASSED
by until victim could be found Sniyely's
nomination for governor evoked weak cheers,
but Ii moment later three cheers for MeGraw and
King county were given with will.

long after the convention had adjourned and
showed its temper by cheering for McGraw and
its loyalty by cheers FOR King county.
