Robert Gerry. Dem. OF Pasco. No
attempt WAS made to have a second
ballot. ana adjournment TIL Monday
was agreed upon. A large number of
members left on the City of Aberdeen
and by train.
The sensation Of today occurred IN the
senate when Senator Sergeant OF Pierce
conRty i'm right royal fashion scored
some OF the nlaligners OF those who
d. not agree with them.
II rise TO a question OF privilege.
Mr.. President. and ask that the secre-
tary read the paragraph have marked
in this mornings Ledger" said the SEN
ator, as he advanced to the secretary's
desk. and the senate intenfly listened
10 the reading of the following:
ITO the Edittsr of the Ledger:
"The unfortunate condition of things
at this place is not more deeply regret
ted by any one than by myself. When
the Republican convention nominated
the ticket upon which my name was
placed it gave us as our chart and
guide a platform. That platforms is
pronounced In its declarations for sil-
yer. When the delegation from Pierce
county met at Olympia the first meet
ing disclosed that three members.
Senator's Sergeant. Campbell and Foss,
were united on Ankeny, and that no
reasoning would shake them in their
discrimination to stand for Ankeny.
Afferward. Fred r. Taylor. who had
heretofore most emphatically declared
against goldites. and In particular
against Ankeny, discovered that of
ell men -Ankeny was the only one fit
FOR United STATES senator. Had our
eleven men united on Wilson he would
have been nominated the first night
ON the second. or third ballot.
1T is equally true that we could have
named Ankeny. but can any man vote
for Ankeny and escape the charge OF
dishonesty? Are the declarations of
party conventions to count for notil-
ing? Ankeny's business interest Ia
such that he must place himself IN
strict accord with Sherpan. Dolph and
other gnldites. That he Is a goldite
is admitted by his political father.
Gov. Moore. That he Is not a goIdite
Is maintained by his political proselytes
for a consideration :,
The article WAS signed by f. w. Tay-
ior, Senator Sergeant's colleague from
Pierce county. who is a Wilson man.
