The Spokane delegation tried shard
to made a deal with the Pilest and
the King county crowd to obtain the
support of the big county, but 1t was
found Spokane had little or nothing
to trade. Her delegation was tied
up on too many propositions to make
1t possible for her to do much trad

county offered to trade rs legislative
votes from eastern Washington to
Piles for United States senator If the
King county delegation would support
Mcbride. The Piles men soon con-

goods, and that II certainly could not
deliver the Spokane Legislative dele
