There was one thing in last nights can
Gus which has created great deal OF com
merit today. When the forceful speaker
from c'hesla.ls county denounced wilson
ism and challenged the Wilson supporters
TO a join; debate. not one word was said
In Wilson's defense. No member was there
with the courage or deAse TO defend VIII
sonism. There was another incident today
that has created comment When IN the

no member said anght but that Wilson de-
served IL, though as Republicans who re-
specsed the Office they would not vote for

An incident occurred this afternoon In
the Hames headquarters that illustrates

Palmer has pledged himself frequently
and publicly to the candidacy OF Judge
Aumes. saSing he would be the last man
to leave him. His base betrayal OF the
King county candidate did not cause a
rippie OF surprise or comment Ia the
Caucus. inasmnch as Paimer's position and
character and the nature Of his reia-

to the entire king county delegation as
