ward Whtson w. l.. Wright, G. J. Hill
The nomination for county auditor
was perhaps the prettiest race of the
day. f. c. Hall was the slate candidate,
and in this instance only were the
manipulators of the machine beaten.
The first ballot was a dead heat, w. b.
Newcomb winning out on the second by
a narrow margin.
The nomination for sheriff was also a
hard fight, requiring four ballots to
nominate. 1t finally became a. race
between A. l.. Dilley and J. j. Wiley,
in which the former won. G.. +. Lum,
j. A. Leach and George ker were in the
race for a while, and J. w. Sindal also
permitted his name to be presented as
candidate. 1t was after the second
ballot in this race that J. a. Leach
withdrew in favor of Mr.. Lum. Mr..
Lum lost on the third ballot
For treasurer there were three aspir-
ants-E. g. Peck who won on the first
ballot, Robert Scott and J. J. Wiley.
J. w. Day had walkover for county
clerk, defeating Del Fox of Zllah, and
6. A. Graham of the third ward.
There was really only one in the race
for assessor, although T. W. Clark was
nominated, receiving % votes, as against
% cast for Harry Coonse, who was NOM
mated by reclamation.

PLATFORM.
We, the republicans OF Yakima coun-
ty, in convention assem- bled, declare our
allegiance to the principles enuncated
in the republican national platform of
1900.
We have every reason to point with
pride to the glorious record OF our party
in its administration of the affairs of
the government for almost half a CEN
tury, and we confidently appeal to the
people on that record and upon the rec
ord of the last six years as contrasted
with the preceding four years while the
country was in charge of the democratic
party.
We deplore the untimely death of our
beloved president, William Mckinley,
but congratulate the country that his
place has been taken by that energetic,
honest, fearless and patriotic statesman,
Theodore Roosevelt. We heartily en-
dorse his wise, conservative and patri-
otto administration and look confidently
for his nomination by the republican
party in 1904.
We most heartily commend the work
in congress of Senator A. G. Foster and
Congressman w. L. Jones and F. w.
Cushman.
The delegates selected by this conven-
ton to attend the state convention at
Tacoma, are hereby instructed to vote
as unit for the nomination of Con-
gresham Jones and Cushman and to
use all honorable means to secure their
denomination.
We heartily endorse the administra-
ton of Governor Henry Mcbride and
other state officials. We congratulate
our county upon the honest, efficient
and economical administration OF county
offices by the present officials, and
pledge the nominees OF this convention
to an equally honest, efficient and econ
omical administration.
We declare ourselves in favor of a
railway commission in the state, and in
this connection we urge our delegates in
congress to use their utmost endeavor to
extend and make more effective the
powers of the Interstate Commerce COM
mission.
