PRIMARIES AT OAKEsDALE
Democrats Elected Delegates TO the
Convention at CoIfnx.

Oakesdale, Wash, April 1.-THE demo-
Gratis held their primaries yesterday and
elected J. b. Scott. J. w. Johnson and s.
Hardesty as delegates to the county con-

ed the delegates TO insist upon the cleo
ton of ]. b. Scott as a delegate to the
state convention and pledge his expen ses.
The sentiment was for free coinage of
silver at the ratio OF iG to /.
The allegations are that their bid,
though the lowest, was refused because
the firm urged the passage Of he resolu-
ton providing for a renewal of the dis
tribution of seeds, Notwithstanding Secre-
tary Morton's protests; that reports fur
nished by officers of the department 10
Secretary Morton. to Senator Proctor,
chairman of the senate committee on
agriculture, and to Mr.. Wadsworth, chair
man of the house committee, had been
manipulated in order to show that the
firms seeds were below standard; that the
assistant secretary, Dabney, had insist
ed on the company, in case it received
the award, using machines of the Brown
Bag Filling Machine Company, and that
Dabney had decided against the company
because of its refusal to do this. 1t was
alleged Furthermore that the secretary
and assistants falsely stated that the
company refused to use it's name on the
seed packets.
Secretary Morton and other officials OF
the agricultural department make abso-
Lutte denial of the hsrges, and say the
award of the seed contract was based
on the percentage of purity and germina-
tive power of seeds tested by the depart
ment last year, at a time when there
was no prospect of further distribution.
Secretary Morton said today that when
he found the distribution of common
seeds was required by law he asked
Senator Proctor and Representative
Wadsworth to go over the bids with him
and after careful and deliberate consid-
GRAFTON of all bids and records kept by
the department it was decided, Senator
Proctor first making the suggestion. that

delphia. a lump sum of $4,000 to furnish
vegetable seeds, and L. l.. May, of St
Paul, Mimi, 5000 TO furnish flower seeds
Landreth's original bid was $4,000; May
bid half a cent per paper for flower seeds
The two firms were called in. the offers
accepted and contracts signed. This made
$1,000 more than the bids OF the Chicago
firm. but this action, the secretary said,
was based on reliability. facilities and es-
sential nearness to Washington of the
Landreth company.

A News representative met Senator
