Olympia, Jan. 27.-Samuel Il.
Piles Of Seattle, was elected senator
today by 1875 votes to Foster 2 and
Turner 6. The result was had on thir-
teeuth joint ballot. and the fourteenth
of the session. The Democrats voted
solidly for George Turner, and Repre-.
sentatives Levin and Sheets, Of Pierce,
for Foster.
After a night Of futile fighting
against the wave that was carrying
Piles to success, both " ilson and Eos.
ter gave in. the Tacoma man person
ally requesting his supporters to vote
for Piles. Both gentlemen retired
gracefu lly from the fight, and the
speeches made by their representatives
in Joint session were cordial and gra.
cious in terms.
When the JOINT session was called to
order J. B. Lindsey. Of Spokane, rep
resentipg Sweeny's interests, formally
withdrew his candidate. Sweeny. who
was sitting by Lindsley's side. had en-
tered the house just before the senate
was admitted, and was greeted by a

speech was equally we'll received.
Representative Falconer, of Snoho-
mish, who had nominated Wilson,
withdrew his name, stating that Mr..
Wilson had requested it.
Representative W. Fl. Hare, of Yak
lima, interjected humorous feature
by soberly withdrawing Jones name,
declaring he had the sanction Of the
seven men voting for the Yakima con-
gresham to make the switch to Piles.
On the roll call that followed all the
Republicans save Senator Sharp. who
was absent, and Representatives Levin
and Sheets, who stayed with Foster,
cast their final ballots for Piles. Sen
ator Graves and Representative Harper
were absent, but the other Democrats
voted for Turner.
Then Piles was sent for and the
speech making by candidates followed
The governor occupied seat with the
lieutenant governor, the president OF
the senate and the speaker Of the house
at the speakers desk, where Lieut.
Gov. Coon presided over the joint SEES
sion.
The reception given Mr.. Piles and
the enthusiasm that greeted his speech
were remarkable in their volume.
Senator Piles was plainly affected by
the demonstration. In voice that
trem bled at first he declared that this
was the first time in his life that he
had been unable to properly express
his thanks for an honor conferred or
him. He said that he had intended
when be came to Olympia, that il
elected he would discuss some of the
more important issues that would be
brought to the consideration of con
gress, but now the time had come be
found himself SO worn, wearied and
overcome that it was absolutely i'm
possibl for him to discuss matters OF
that nature.
Down in the depths Of his heart be
said there was determination to rep
resent in the United States senate ev'
cry county, every city, every town
every village, every hamlet, every pre-
cinct and every road crossing in the
state of Washington. This assertion
was greeted with cheers.
After the close Of Mr.. Piles remarks
Mr.. Sweeny was called for and express
ed his satisfaction with the outcome
