years with a disorganized delegation and
with more than one candidate for an Of
fee. The folly of this course has been
well demonstrated. 1t is not good politics
to have any question in the delegation
which would prevent its working as
unit for the best interests or KING coun-
~. I am therefor in favor Of sending a
delegation to Tacoma which will be able
to obtain the recognition to which this
county is entitled In state politics. The
county convention should adopt measures
to make such a course certain
John 3. Allen-I am strongly in favor
OF the majority ruling. have always IA
vored this. 1t Is the only way in which
results are secured. The delegation from
King county TO the state convention
should be selected in such manner as
deliberations the will of the majority Of
the convention. In no other way can
the delegation be made effective.
John w. Pratt-I am in favor of apply
ing the unit rule in the delegation TO the
state convention from this county. The
delegates should, be elected by the con-
is the great desideratum.
Harold Preston.-I should like to see n
solid delegation go from this county to
the state convention. The wishes of the
Republicans Of King county on the ques-
ton OF the governorship will be expressed
in the county convention. This express
SIGN should have its fullest force in the
action OF the delegation to the state
convention. II is not so much matter
Of the method to be employed in the cleo
ton of the delegates by the county
convention as OF securing a delegation
which will be thoroughly representative
Of the party OF this county and OF it's
opinions on the governOrship and such
other questions as may arise affecting
King county.
Sheriff A. T. Van De vanter-It seems
to me that n fair and practical way to
select the state delegation from this
county would be to have the chairman OF
the county convention appoint commit
tee OF twelve men, two from each or
the six senatorial districts OF the county.
which committee should choose the dele
gates to the state convention. These dele
gates should be apportioned to the differ
ernt senatorial districts so that each sec
ton OF the county should obtain its
due proportion. A fair way would be TO
allow the committee to name say nine
delegates from each district with nine
delegates to be elected at large by the
convention or named by the candidate
for governor, who is Endorsed in the con-
vention, as is deemed best In this man
ner the senatorial districts would be rep
monious delegation would be secured
which would go to the state convention
working as a unit under instructions
from the county convention. Most assured
ly the delegation should go instructed for
tho candidate for governor Endorsed by
the representatives OF the party in con-
question as to the character OF this In
struction. The man who wins In the con-
vention is entitled to the hearty and
loyal support OF the entire delegation.
Ex-Gov. John H. McGraw--It seems TO
me that at this time II IL all important
to King county that she should go to the
convention with a perfectly harmonious,
well-organized delegation. II seems al
most certain that those who are opposed
to King countys interests are trying to
divide us so that they may profit by any
weakness that is thus introduced. 1t Is
very essential TO our success that we go
to Tacoma with united. harmonious
delegation.
Dr. George NJ Horton.-I have not re-
Gently had much time to devote to poll
teal questions. but have always MAIN
tanned and still maintain that unity is
very desirable in the delegation. That is
my opinion Everything should be har-
monious and factionai differences should
not disturb the work OF the delegates.

send a united delegation from King

our experience in former contests would
seem to demonstrate its wisdom
Jules RedeiShcimer-l neleNe now, anu
always have believed. that there is one
way, and one way only. for King county
to get her honest dues in a state con-
vention. and that Is by sending united
delegation pledged to hght as one man
for everything King wants. II IL high
time that we do this. otherwise We Will
