OHdAFH1dn An1CKorOOCkor OF the
Republican county central COM
mittee and his associates have
fixed the date of the county con-
vention, which elects delegates to
the state convention April 9Th,
which elects delegates to the
National convention at Philadel-
phia June 10Th, April End. The
official call for the same will be
found in another column Of this
issue.

How many delegates to the
National convention will King
county get is being very generally
discussed among the push in
Seattle at present. The why this
question is being asked is, because
King county casts more votes than
any other two counties in the state
and is legally entitled to twice the
representation of any other county,
inasmuch as it has none at present
in Congress. The most of the
state is willing, the Pie-maker has
been Informed, to concede this
boon to King, if King herself will
only put up the proper kind of
fight for it. For the past four
years King has never gone to the
state convention in the proper
shape to demand or get anything,
and, she has succeeded in that
right well. Let her now lay down
it's internal petit chickering's and 60
to the convention right and the
Pie-maker predicts that she will
get all she asks and more besides.
In case King county gets two
delegates, who will be the men? is
being quite frequently asked.
There are quite a number of men
that want the honor and are per-
fectly willing to spend their good
hard money to cross the continent
to represent the Republican party
OF the proud young state Of Wash
ington at the national party
council of war to be held in Phila-
delphia, and each Of these will use
his best endeavors to have the
Ellensburg convention see him as
he sees himself. The leading can

b. G. Hughes, E. G.. Neufelder,
Samuel FL. Piles, DIR. John L..
Neagle, James d. Hoge, Jr., and
others, who are laying dead, as it
were, and waiting for political
lightning to come along and raise
them out of their plotting places.
Unless something unusual trans
pires the first two aspirants will
scrap at the primaries Of this city
and county for the honor, and,
regardless of which one wins or
looses In King, they will take it to
the state convention for final set
Element. DR.. Neagle and James
d.. Hoge are both strong compro-
mise candidates and the same can
be rightfully said of Samuel Ell.
Piles.
1t is all over now, and the next
interesting political event will be
the state convention to select dele
gates to the national convention.
-Four delegates and four alternates
afford wide field for some shrewd
guessing. We venture the guess
that b. G. Hughes and John l..
Wilson will be two of them

The Pie-maker has been inform
ed that there are a number of as
pirants in Spokane county for the
single honor of delegate to the
National convention, and in some
OF the instances, the applicant
would know no more of what to do
in National Republican conven-
ton than bull in china store,
and yet, he wants it, hoping there
by to let the people in the East
know that, he is one Of Washing
tons great men and statesmen.
Spokane had better send man to
the National convention that will
do the state the most good as well
as herself, and that man is none
other than the Hon. John L. Will
son. 1t will be remembered that
the state central committee four
years ago was all bottled up for
funds and would have remained SO
had not John l.. Wilson gone
East and raised it. Now the Re-
publicans of the state should not
want a repetition of the same
thing, therefore they should send
Wilson to the front at once. Send
him, gentlemen, and then you will
show to the men in the East
to whom you look, for financial
help on which to conduct your
campaigns, that you have conf
dence in him and they will in turn
show you that they have confidence
