The democratic and peoples party
county conventions were held at Monte
sano, Saturday, and the foregoing ticket
was nominated after lengthy, and
somewhat turbulent session. The demo-
cratic convention was called to order in
the rink at 10 20 a. IN. by A. S. Hodgdon,
chairman of the county central COM
mittee, and the call read by Secretary
Bignold. It was evident from the outset
that County Attorney Abel was making
strenuous efforts to dominate the con-
vention, although defeated at the pri-
maries, and he lined up his forces on the
temporary organization only to discover
his weakness, J. G. Cross being elected
temporary chairman by vote OF 56ta to
31M for G. O. Butler. Grant Wheeler
was chosen secretary and A. j. A. Nc
Speritt assistant secretary.
Upon taking the chair Mr.. Cross made
a neat little speech, i'll which he coun-
seled peace and harmony, to disappoint
the enemy asked the aid of the conven-
ton in securing a harmonious session,
and promised impartial ruling, prom
Use that was we'll kept during the session.
The difference in the treatment of the
minority faction from the raw deal given
the minority at the Elma convention
was commented ON upon all sides.
The following committees were APP
pointed:
Credentials-C. o. Butler, Chas. Me-
Intyrc, j. ]. Carney, ]. Wakefield and
Geo. Chambers.
Resolutions-Dr Jos. Kent, II. NJ.
Sutton, c. j. Arnold, A. S. Hodgdon
and B. r. Martin.
Permanent Organization and Order OF
Business-D. w. Fleet, Rev. w. II. Glib
son, G. f. Clay, w. B. Ogden and +. B.
Couch.
After the appointment of the commit
tees recess was taken until one O'Clock
p. m.
Upon reassembling, the report of the
committee on credentials precipitated
warm discussion over the promiscuous
admission of proxies. The committee
recommended that no proxy be admitted
unless held by resident of the precinct
from which the proxy came. The Abel
forces fought for the admission of all
proxies, no matter by whom held. The
memory of the Elma convention, with
it's patent proxies, was too fresh i'll the
minds OF the delegates, and the report
of the committee was adopted by the
decisive vote OF 65is to l7la.
The temporary organization was made
permanent, and the following resolutions
were adopted:
'Wc, the Democratic party OF Chehalis
county, in convention assembled, un-
uualihcdly endorse the national platform
adopted at Kansas City, and the state
platform adopted at Seattle, and hereby
pledge our hearty support to all candi-
dates nominated at said conventions.
I'VE demand cifcctual legislation to
curb the power OF the trusts, and as Il
step in that direction recommend the
abolition OF protective tariff duties on
trust-controlled articles.
