the nomination TO the state authorship.
Rhafcom has not heretofore been ac-
corded any important position on the state
ticket, and the delegates from that county
think the time has come when their Sec
ton Of the state should be given fuller rec
ognition.
The Whatcom men are confident that
their county Is "ali right" III. A. Fair
child seemed to voice the sentiment OF
the delegation last night when he said:
Take our present county ticket In all its
phases. consider both tie personnel and
the locality. and IL is the strongest We
have ever had. / have never seen a coun-
~ convention whose work gave more COM
rlete and universal satisfaction. AT the
close OF the convention everybody went
away pleased. and the favorable impress
sion made at the nomination OF the ticket
has not diminished and will not diminish"
From far Spokane there was a goodiy
representation in Seattle last night. the
members OF the delegation present being
j. ". Charlton. j. j. White. l.. r. Bau-
mann and C. Rlddiford. The other dele
gates from that county will reach Seattle
as confident OF victory as the Whatcom
or jefferson delegates. Mr. Charlton said:
We shall carry Spokane county for the
full Republican ticket this year by a
larger majority than that OF two years
ago. and that too In the face OF the fact
that we haven't had a single newspaper 10
advocate our cause.
a. Riddiford. OF Spokane. was equally
enthusiastic. and when asked for the facts
on which he based his prediction OF Re
publican success, said.
well l can give you two or three rea-
sons that are conclusive. First, We have
in Spokane a Mckinley and Hobart Club
numbering no members, a membership
far exceeding that OF any other RcpublI-
can club ever organized In that city. Sec
ond. our caucuses and primaries recently
held had a larger attendance than was
ever known In the county. Third. the men
on onr county ticket compare so favorabiy
with those nominated by our friends the
