STORY ABOUT CHAIRMAN OF
STATE REPUBLICAN, COMMIT
TEE
ESPECIAL 10 The starl


SPOKANE. Dec. l3,-According
10 the Spokesman Review. Senator
E. Il. Palmer. OF Seattle. chairman
OF the republican state committee,
Is regaiing his friends with the In
formation that he intends TO board
at the residence of Governor Mead
during the legislative session this
winter The Review says.
"1nasmuch as Mr.. Palmer II open
ly supporting John l.. Wilson for
the United States senate. in face OF
tho endorsement Of another man by
his own county. this move is ut
least suggestive.
THE chances are. however. that
Mr.. Palmer will be a nine spot in
the state senate. Lieutenant Gov
ernor Coon. who will appoint the
senate committees. has probably not
forgotten the fact that Palmer tried
to force him off the ticket In the
middle of the campaign. and the
committee plums which Palmer re
oeivos will be few and far between.
THE truth is that Palmer Is
'swelled up. lie thinks he elected
Mead. Rooseyeh's majority. In his
mind. had nothing 20 do with tho
result. Governor Mead confessed.
however, I'm a public speech at a
Seattle banquet that Roosevelt's
popularity was his own salvation.
so II Is to be doubted II he takes
much stock In Mr. Palmers preten-
sions Stiil. he can't refuse the
state chairman board and lodging.
In view of the shortage of accom-
modations In Olympia"
