There was considerable interest evinced
when the chairman told the delegates to
prepare their ballots for representative.
There had been much speculation over
this office and tight fight was antici'
pated. John Clemsn placed Samuel
Chappell in nomination, Captain Robert
Dunn nominated Robert Bruce Milroy,
and A. +. Switzer introduced Mayor w.
ii. Redman to the consideration of the
convention. The first ballot resulted 10
Redmsn receiving IL votes, Chappell 26
votes and Milroy 20. On the second bal
lot Chappell gained two and Milroy one
while Redman's vote fell to IL. Third
bsll9t-Redman Is, Chappell 20 and
Milroy 80. Fourth ballot--Redman z,
Chappell % and Milroy 40. The nomina.
ton was made unanimous.
For Sheriff II L. Tucker was placed in
nomination by WIN. Rowe OF the
Natcheez and seconded by John Cleman.
ID. E. Lesh in strong speech advocated
succession or promotion, and nominated
A. L. Dilley. Stripped down to the plain
meaning the speech could he interpreted
this way: 1.-THE family OF which I am a
member demands lien on the office OF
Sheriff. served four years at the BUSH
ness and liked it 30 we'll that turned it
over to my relative, the present sheriff,
who, after fattening at the crib for two
terms, is estopped by law from further
service, and now this convention is re-
quired to wrap the shrievalty robes
around our favorlte heir and protegee. +"
1t was done and without much ceremony,
although the looks Of dissatisfaction that
here set led on the faces Of many of the
delegates grew to one Of disgust before
the ticket was completed. II. l.. Tucker,
an old settler. heavy tax payer, pro-
gresslve business man, war veteran, tried
and true republican was laid on the shelf
with ~ votes, while Lincoln Dilley, who
has never done anything to entitle him to
the consideration OF the party, except
hold sub-office, marched gaily off with
AZ votes and the nomination.
The nomination for auditor was gen.
uine surprise. The nominees were George
Vance, George Courier and F. G. Hall.
The first two have been active republican
workers for years. They have contributed
money and sacrificed time for the good of
the cause; they are both known to be
thoroughly capable but the smoothys Of
the party had their own plans and +. G..
Hall, who is known by but few people Of
the county, and who has also been sub
official ever since his advent in Yakima,
was given this important position. at
beats anything ever heard Of. )" remarked
q delegate within hearing of THE HERALD
reporter" They must want to nail the
party to the cross" The voting opened
with Vance 10, Courier "a and Hall 20.
Several ballots were taken, the strength
of Vance and Courier falling off until the
fourth ballot, when Hall received 81 and
a majority.
There were four candidates who wanted
to handle the county money. They were
E. f. Kelso. ]. J. CARPENTER, A. B. Weed
and d. W. Stair. 1t was the same old
bank fight over again and Weed would
have won but there was treachery in his
camp. On the first ballot Kelso received
5 votes, Stair 8, Weed % and Carpenter
30. On the second and deciding ballot
Stair received 1, Weed SO and Carpenter
IS.
Another member OF the Carpenter fam
lily was next favored. This time it was
o. V. Carpenter, who was renominated
by reclamation.
For surveyor Guy Sterling and George
Mills were placed in nomination. Geo.
Wilson also wanted to be in the race, but
he was either overlooked like white
chip or something else happened for he
was not even named. Mills was success
FIJI. receiving A votes to % for Sterling.
The sacrificial knife was felt by Ira p.
who was slaughtered through
the cont est over the sheriffs Office. He
received pledges enough to give him the
but the bosses decreed that
he should go to the block and off went
his head, and Glen Dudley, q spindle
legged young man from Kennewick, who
does not look as though he had enough
vitality in him to weather Yakima
zephyr, was given the nomination. Yak
ina has had experimental prosecutors
enough it would seem, but unless dem
ocracy puts up good timber the chances
are We are still to be practiced upon.
Lesh and Simmons tried to square things
with Englehart on Monday but the latter
still feels that he was used as swabbing
brush and has not yet gotten over the
soreness which such usage engendered.
Col. J. A. Taggard is also up in arms.
He says he does not care for the emolu-
ments of the Office and would not have
been a candidate for coroner had he
known that any one else was in the ield,
but he had been assured by the winning
candidate, DR.. Z. E. Heg, that he did not
desire the Office nor was he a candidate,
and then to be tossed over when his bust
ness place and his purse had always been
