LIABLE TO MAKE COMPLICATIONS

The supreme court failed to hand
down its expected ruling effecting
township organization in the state,
when it convened on the Oath OF
December, and 1t is now believed the
court will not give out its decision
until the township collectors in the
seventeen counties effected by that
organization have completed their
collections, which will probably be
the last OF March. 1t is still believed
that the courts decision will hold
that the township organization act
is in conflict with the state constitu-
tion.
In the event that law is declared
unconstitutional consi d crab 9
trouble is expected in the seventeen
counties now acting under that law.
The question will probably be raised
by some parties desiring to avoid
the payment OF taxes, that the as.
easements were illegal, In which event
almost endless litigation and com.
plications manifold will follow. Il
the assessments under which the
present collections are made, should
be declared illegal, then the assess
ments for the past years during the
time the law'has been in operation
in the respective counties have beer
illegal, and all the lands sold undel
delinquent tax sales will revert te
the original ewneE Pretty bad mil
up, would't it be?
By delaying the decision, the ap
pointments OF collectors and asses
sors for the different counties will bt
made by the incoming governor
which will give Mr.. Folk about AZ
more good places with which tt
reward his friends.

The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1904-05-13

After the steering committees had COIN
pleted their work of naming ticket for the
ratification of the convention, the first big
fight was on the report of the platform. The
Mcbride forces desired to supplement the
tax commission proposition of the resolu-
ton committee with the railroad commits
sion proposition, which was passed by the

state convention two years prior. L his pre-
cipitated the first fight Of the convention,
which after a heated discussion resulted in
victory for the anti-McBride forces OF
800 against 27o A vote then to reconsider
the defeat of the measure resulted IN the
same vote, which settled the long disputed
question and the Republican state conven-
ton went on record as neither recommend
ing nor denouncing the railroad commission
proposition which has been SO much dis
cussed by Governor Henry Mcbride since
he succeeded Governor Rogers in the guber-
material chair of this state. The platform
adopted by the convention is as follows =
PLATFORM.
The glorious achievements of the Repub-
lican party during the administration Of the
late 1amented President Mckinley have been
duplicated and emphasized by his illustrious
successor, who has faithfully adhered to his
policies and courageously carried them into
effect.
Theodore Roosevelt has borne the tre-
mendous responsibilities of his great office
upon the high level of national duty and
national honor His administration has been
thoroughly Republican and truly Ameru-
can. The laws have been fearlessly and i'm
partially enforced as they were enacted by
congress evi1doers have been driven from
the public service; combinations in restraint
of trade and commerce have been brought to
the bar of justice.
His administration has brought unparal
1e11ed prosperity maintained the public
honor, fostered industry stimulated enter
prise, extended American commerce,
strengthened American influence, ennobled
American citizenship and brought prosperity
alike to capital and to labor.
We, therefore, favor the nomination of
Theodore Roosevelt and hereby instruct the
delegates chosen by this convention to sup
port his candidacy.
PROTECTION REAFFTRMED.
We reaffirm Our allegiance to the princi-
pies of a protective tariff and demand that
whenever the contingencies of trade or COM

The long expected as we'll as much talked
of state convention is now thing OF the
past, and it's work is herewith presented in
the shape of full ticket submitted to the
voters for their consideration and, it is to
be hoped their favorable action next No
vember The convention was the largest in
the history of the state and, it might be
added, the hardest fought of any similar
convention in Washington since she was
admitted to this union of states. Ehe line
I'D between the Mcbride and the antl-Mc-
Bride forces showed itself on every occasion,
and though the Mcbride folk lost they
fought to the very last ditch and, be it said
to their credit, made most noble fight for
what they believed 10 be their political and
financial rights. While the Mcbride folk
had but 25o votes out of the 600 they got
more out of the convention in the way of
argument than was expected under the cir
cumstances. 1t was believed prior to the
assembling of the convention that Henry
Mcbride was beaten, and of course the
gathering of the clans, and the assembling
of the convention soon demonstrated that
fact beyond a reason of doubt. Although
Spokane brought solid delegation in favor
of Mcbride, yet at least two-thirds of them
were anti-McBride at heart, and expressed
their gratitude over his defeat.
