1t was complete victory for the reg

ventlOn in the court room a week ago,
Tuesday night, and is an emphatic en-
dorsement by the people OF the 167 men
who voted in the convention to nomin

When DR.. Stuht, on behalf of his po-
ltical associates, Brown, Canutt and
Weinhurg, arose in the convention, after
Mayor Davenport bad been re-nominated
by vote Of 167 to rs, and practically
withdrew from the race for mayor, it
was at first believed there would be no
opposition to the regular ticket
But two days after Il members of the
Stuht faction met at the courthouse and
succeeded in persuading ex- Mayor Henry

the forOrn hope as candidates for mayor
and cOuDcilman-at-large. Dr. Stuht had
moved to make the Davenport nomina

building of roads in the county by con-
victs from the Wali6 WaIla pPnitentiarv

The statement was made to the com
missioners that Governor Mead had
delegated to Mr.. Snow the task Of max
ing choice of a county in Eastern Wash
ingtOn to make the first test Of convict
labor on the roads and Whitman county
had been selected.
A formal agreement was rendered the
commissioners which read as follows:
The state will furnish such number of
convicts as may be mutually agreed upon
together with the necessary guards
1.-The county shall maintain, that is to
say, board, house and provide medical
attendance for such cOnYicts and guards.
state to pay salary of the guards
and provide transportation from the
penitentiary to such point in Whitman
county as may be agreed upon and for
the return.
transportation between points in the
county while working under this agree
ment shall be paid by the county.
"The county to furnish all tools, i'm
plements and material to be used under
this agreement and shall provide all
superintendents.
IAN accurate account shall be kept by
the county Of all material produced by
cOnvicts under this agreement between
the state and the county. This cost
shall be the basis for settlement between
the state and the county. The cost
OF the material as shown by the county

material produced and the expense
which the county has incurred under
this agreement shall be an offset for said
price OF material.
1.-The foregoing agreement is made
under session laws of the state Of Wash

county, when the cOnvicts worked too
far from the county jail, would be Obliged

matter under advieement.
