King county now asks ven 70 give he-
this convention" he said. 1T has been
many years since she has had state coz
tensson. Beside. we are advantageously
sstnaS~i as regards transporta lion ~ rail

attic man. In behalf or the Queen City
oTer you her best h0spitaistfes for the

SE. sullivan replied 20 the King county
man when he nominated Tacoma as the
convention city. He said that the COM

Taeognass hotel facilities were equally IS
good as those of Seattle, and her citizens
as warm hearted. He continued. Two
years ago Tacoma wanted the state con-
ventson but Il was sent over the mountains
10 Spokane. Olympia get the state con-
vention IN 1852 and now il is no more than
right that Taeoma's claims should be
recognized. From political standpoint
Tacoma can urge excellent reasons for
the location Of the convention here. The
silver sentiment. whiei was strong two
years ago. has materially changed since
then. Pierce county has gotten together.
and faetionaI qGarreIs are reiegated 10 the
past. We believe that Pierre county will
cast splendid vote for the national
ticket"

Of King county. ] say We need the con-
ventlon for the effect II will have on the
result this fail. This alone, the good of
the party. should influence YOU In your
chuiee This Is q year when the Republi-
can party must win In Washington. Ta-
coma viii derive an immense benefit from
the location OF the headquarters here. and
she Will be lifted out OF the rut of the
silver sentiment. ] understand that the
citizens Of Tacoma have subscribed gen.
erosiSsy for the preliminary work that has
been done by the committee, but not more
generous are her citizens than those of
Seattle. | appeal TO you TO give us this
convention fer the benefit IL will ne 10 the
party. which alone should be considered
IN settling this question" DIR. Mitten'S
