emerged from the wilderness OF con-
filct and uncertainty in which It had
been wandering for twenty-four hours
and nominated a full state ticket
There was little or no friction. The
session began at 10 a. m. and final ad-
journment was reached a little before
l p. m. Sullivan plucked victory from
Imminent defeat at the last moment
before the convention began. He owes
his success TO his own fine generalship
and TO change Of attitude Of the south
western combination, controlling g
votes. The majority Of the votes Of the
combination had been By the poll
shown to be for Wilson, but the man.
ayers had defeated all attempts at an
endorsement of any candidate. believ-
ing that IL would jeopardize the inter-
ests Of the combination, which was
chiefly anxious about several Of the
minor state offices. The managers
were at last persuaded, however. that
It was their duty to attempt TO end
the gubernatorial fight, which bade fair
to be prolonged indefinitely. At
o'clock this morning they reached a
decision to support Sullivan. That set
tied the whole problem. They delivered
81 votes to him. The other delegations
fell in line and when the convention
met. one ballot only was required. It
is noteworthy that the combination vot-
ed for the successful candidates in
every instance, and 1t was altogether
the most potent influence in the con-
vention. The full ticket is as follows;
Governor-P. C. Sullivan. Pierce coun-
ty.
Lieutenant Governor-J. W. ARA
smith. Whitman county.
Supreme Court judge. P. Hoyt, Of
King county, re-nominated.
State Auditor-John -. Frost. Kit

from a number of Spokane Democrats,
bidding the convention God speed in its
work, and pledging themselves to vote
for Mckinley.
The Republican state central commit
tee organized this afternoon by re-
eleC ing Scott Swetland, of Clarke coun-
ty lairman At the urgent request
Of / ng and the northwestern counties
the committee decided unanimously to
transfer the state headquarters from
Tacoma to Seattle during the cam
paign. This results from the four
places on the ticket that were award
ed to Pierce, and it was believed that
it would be good policy to accede to
the request of the northwestern coun-
ties.
