Warriors Spread Themselves.
Yesterday. after The King county deie-
gates 10 the Democratic state convention
had resaied themselves with good square
meal fortified by frequent indulgence IN
real Old Democratic beverages. the war
riors spread themselves out on Second ave
nue. under the gentle rays Of a SEPTEMBER
sun. and talked OF the late fracas at E.
lensburg. The Moore people sounded a
note OF triumph. Judge Moore himself told
MS friends that he Vas well satisfied with
what had been accomplished at Ellensburg
The Hart people g.eefu,iy spoke az the fac,
that no mention whatever was made Of
Judge Moores candidacy for The supreme
bench either before nle King county dee
CATION or the state convention. The Hart
men re1oiced at the fact that Judge Moore
was never even named in his oH n delegation
in connection with the supreme court and
that IN the state convention the choice Of
the party was made in Eastern Washing
ton without reference 10 the wishes OF the
Moore people.
The fight Ia on Charges Of tre8chery OF
!ngratitude. most cardinal Of political sins
and OF uuderhauded methods used in ac-
comphshing certain ends, are made by tbs
Hart people agains; that faction OF the de-
egation which successfully elected John T
Condor state committeeman. \ certain
number Of the delegates are indas,riousy
trying 10 create the impression That party
anmositles have been laid aside. The real
situation does not tell that story.
When the King county Democratic dee
CATION left Seattle last Tuesday night the
statement; was made by both The Hart and
the ant-iiart people that the fight agains,
the state committeeman had been called
on. According to the Hart men. TIE oppo-
nents OF Hart showed themselves capable
OF the lowest kind If dupl!city and double
dealing w.thla twenty-ftur hours after the
delegation left Seattle.
The Hnrt-Condon Agreement.
One OF the Lewis managers on the dele
cation said on the train that night tha;
only one man in the King county de.eea-
ton stood out against Hart. and that when
the delegation met at E.lensburg. he da.-
