EI.enshurg. Aug i2-Speclai-E Before
the Populist convention. which met in the
Armory. under the opera house. was called
70 order the King county E3en had decid-
ed not 10 press the claims Of Richard VIM
sor sr., 30 the chairmanshlp. although
there does Tot appear 20 be any doubt
that he could have been elected. There
were two reasons for hIE withdrawal. one
being that with the arrival OF late dele
gatfons some opposition 20 Winsor was not
unlikely. and the other that r. r. Morrow,
who had been downed In the county con-
vention. was known 10 have secured pTox-
les from Island county and would attempt
70 sit In the convention Under these cir
curnsfances the King county msn con-
ciuded that they would have need OF Win
sor Ia the body OF the house. and they
decided not 10 try for the cha!rraansaip.
IL was f0.5 O'Clock when Chairman Bull
ger raped loudly for order, and announe-
ed that the convention would proceed 10
business
Or. Chase. OF Chehalis. seconded by
Hart. OF King. placed In nomination for
temporary chairman Thomas ]. Miller. OF
Tkurston. Cleveland Smith. of Whitman.
nominated c. r. Cline. Of Whafcon, and
the nomination was seconded from all
parts OF the house. There were also nu-
merous seconds 10 the nomination OF MI
ler A great deal OF interest was taken
tn the vote. as by many II was thought TO
indicate the strength or the fusion and
antl-fusion forces, but the line was not
directly drawn. and Cline, who Is instruct
ed against fusion, was easily elected on
the first ballot. 22os5 10 1924.
The temporary chairman made brief re-
marks expressive Of h.s qualification at
the honor. r. VI. Halstead. OF Pierce. and
~ c. Butcher. OF Whitman. were chosen
temporary secretary and assistant.
Here a delegation from the Democratic
convention. consisting OF White, OF King:
John Paul Judson. OF Pierce. and Fenton.
OF Spokane. was given hearing. and res
olgtlons we're read favoring union and the
appointment OF a committee 10 arrange
for a conference. The resolutions did not
arouse any great enthusiasm. except that
portion referring 10 Bryan. which was
made the occasion OF cheering. Baker. OF
Pierce. moved the appointment OF a COM
mlttee os three. and Miller. OF Thurston.
moved that the entire matter be referred.
Here Adams. Of King. made a point OF or
der. whsch was declared wei taken. that
the question OF the appointment or such
committee could not be considered at
the time.
On motion OF Hart. OF King each dele
CATION named its. members OF committees
on credentials. permanent organization
resolutions.
". r. Andrews was King county's men,
Der on credentials. Or. j. r. Jordan on
permanent organization. Robert Bridges
on platform and resolutions.
The name or Mrs. Peters. the only fe-
male delegate IN the convention. as a
member OF the committee on PLATFORM,
was taken to mean the introduction OF
woman suffrage resolution. as that lady
is al ardent advocate OF the free and un-
limited haii0t.
Island county announced the name OF
p F. Morrow. OF Ballard. as It's member
on each of the three committees. After
the names OF the committee on credentials
were announced winsor moved that Nor
rows name be stricken from the list until
the committee on credentials should re-
port. Chairman Cline ruled the motion
out OF order. and Winsor appealed TO the
house. Morrow maize violent speech at
taekluR winsor. He haa not talked very
long before he was asked by the chairman:
ARE you resident Of King county?"
II am" said Morrow.
''fhen the chair all allow the motion
made ~ Mr.. Winsor 20 be put 10 the
house" (Applssse)
Evidently tire sentiment os the eonven-
tion was against Morrow. The vote was
taken. and by IL Morrow was knocked into
the middle Of next week. so far az sitting
