August 4 as the day for holding the con-
vent.on. Nearsy full representation OF
the committee was present. the country
precincts turning out strong
Two weeks ago the city members OF the
committee met quietly and formulated
plan OF conducting the campaign n the
city. At tina; meeting IL was decided to
allow its country members TO choose the
day for holding the convention. This plan
was carried out at yesterdays meeting.
g. A. Wells having been appointed TO
the local land oftcs he rendered his reSig-
nation as chairman OF the committee, and
r. T.. SnodgraSs, a prominent mining man
and a staiwart Republican. was chosen 10
succeed him. A number OF resolutions
were presented and passed.
The first was ons expressing the BELIEF
that the prosperity of the country would
be assured by the return of the Republican
party TO power. congratulat.ng the farmers
and the miners OF the state for the large
returns they had received during the past
year, indors.ng heartily the course or
President Mckinley in the present war
with Spain, rendering the thanks OF tho
committee TO those. irrespective OF party,
who had left their homes and business
Of humanity.
A second resolution was as follows:
We demand the re-estabiishmen, OF the
state normal school at Cheney and con-
denim the unwise and unwarranted at
tempt of the governor of the state 10 de-
stroy one OF the foremost educational in
ss.tutions of eastern Washington"

TO the constitution OF this state which will
permanently restore the personal property

i.can legislature which was passed to IA
vor immigration and TO protect the per-
sonal property OF the widowed and in the
interest OF labor.
Many Of the country members in short
speeches stated OF their personal knowl-
edge that many Republicans who. two
years ago. were swayed from the ranks
by the silver craze. would this fall be
found voting the Republican ticket again.
1t was the general belief of the members
OF the committee that Spokane county
would again roll up a majority IN the Re-
publican column tn the coming election,
but to insure success II would be neces-
sary for every member Of the party TO
put his shoulder to the wheel and push
the good work all along the line.
