81 am pleased with the action Of the
convention, and believe that the best man
in the district has been nominated. and

sentative. Ny friends and myself will
work hard for his election. and am rather
glad that my supporters failed In my
nomination"
Republicans and anti-Saunders Demo
Gratis, Who of course preferred the nomina-
ton Of Jefferson county man. are we'll
satisfied with wilson. and assured him by
kilograms of their loyal support. Demo-
Gratis will gladly vote for any nominee not
tied TO Saunders and Wallace, and they
allege that Donald McInnes, the Demo
cratic senatorial asplrant. will be so obii-
gated.

Mr. Sheehan, the reconciled political
triumviraie. have agreed upon Donald
McInnes, OF Port Angeles. a brother OF

Of Dungeness. for state sena-
tor. Mr.. McInnes was up here
a few weeks ago. met Hugh Wallace and
pledged him his support for United States
senator in the presence OF Collector
Saunders. In return. besides the sena-
tors honor, Mr.. MeInnes is to
have his campaign expenses
paid by the custom house. There
are other Democrats who are trying to
undermine him and get into the good
graces of the custom house. Unless they
can add more strength TO the ticket Mr..
Saunders viii hardly change the pro-
gramme.
