The Eing county delega ton TO the state
convention viii not meet In a body until
II o'clock today, and as a result has not
organized By selecting a chairman and
naming the men for positions on the dGf-
ferent committees IN the convention. II
is thus impossible 20 foretell whether the
committee will deesde TO act as a unit on
the various propositions which may coTae
before the convention. II is quite probable
that even without any definite pledge to
that effect, the delegation Will be solid In
support OF the King county candidates for
positions on the state ticket The cam
didates from King are Chief Justice Hoyt
TO succeed himself on the supreme bench .
Ellis Morrison for lieutenant governor.
and Thomas ". Gordon for secretary OF
state. The delegation has secured room B
at the Tacoma hotel as headquarters dur
ing the convention.
The principal interest In the convention
will probably be over the nomination for
governor. for which there are five or six
avowed candidates and some possible dark

Gus at present is p. c. Sullivan. of Ia

tional committeeman. and who has the in
structed vote of his delegation behind him.
IL IS quite probable that he will be able
10 command the solid wore OF Whitman
county also as he was a former resident
OF that county. and at one time had
pretty fair grip on the machinery OF the
party there. He will not have a walk

with the possible exception of Whitman
county is much inclined TO the belief that
Il is time for the selection OF governor
from that section. Eugene Wilson, OF Kit
titas. and Edward whitson. of Yakima.
are the two candidates most spoken OF
from east of the mountains. j. OBJ. Sco-
hey, OF Olympia. is also a candidate.
w H Doolittle and s. C. Hyde the pres
ent congressman. are both candidates for
re-election. and IL there is any serious
opposition to either of them. IL has not
developed on the surface. although sew
eral gentlemen have been spoken OF for
congressional honors, in case there appears
10 he any prospect OF success in defeating
either of the present members.
Locally, the only matter of interest par
tlcularly are the increasing numbers OF
candidates for positions on the proposed
fusion ticket There would be even more

lists as 60 which positions will be awarded
to each separate faction of the Populist
