Yields to Col. BIcthcn.
Yesterday morning the local fusion com
mittee on arrangements. Of which ] W
Goodwin Is chairman rearranged Its plans
for the Northwestern tour so as to enable
the Democratic leader to visit the cities
of BellinEham bay. In doing this, the
committee. against the objections made by
several OF it's members last week provid-
cd for special excursion to Whatcom. n
concession 10 Col. Blethen. editor Of .he
Times. Col Blethen, apparently whipped
the Directing Democrats into line on his
proposition. There was. consequently no
little rejoicing by Col. Ble,hen and his fol
lowers yesterday.

make a short speech. arriving In Seattle
IN time, II is hoped, fer the afternoon
meeting at Y NJ G. A. park
The evening meeting Monday and the
banquet at the Armory will be carried out
as arranged by the committee last week
Before he Is introduced TO a Seattle audi
ence on Monday Col Bryan will have
apoken Ave times on that day. consuming
three hours at the least calculation. II has
been contended by members of the ,us!on
committee on arrangements that by taking
the Northw estern tour cut OF the day alot-
ted to Seattle. Col. Bryan naturally cannot
be expected TO he In as good voice and
form as II he should speak here first
Can uryan stand the strnint
This Is the reason why Il was FIRST
planned 20 send Col Rryan TO the North
west after the Monday night banquet In
Seattle. The action OF the Tacoma com
mittce. however spoiled this plan. The
Tacoma fusionlsts insisted with Secretary
Mallory that Col Rryan should spend an
entire day IN Tacoma They nave carried
their point, at the evident sacriic Of seat
tie
II Is said by members ~ tho fusion com
mittce that no man. not evrn Col Bryan
can make Ave speeches and travel more
than half day and bo I'm good form for
three meetings and as many speeches dur
ing the remainder Of the day.
For these reasons there ia no little m
feeling among Seattle Democrats who did
not favor the trip TO the Northwestern
cities hut tho fact remains that Col
Hlethen has had his shy and his friends
nov claim that ne has shown 90 the Demo
