it's quota of visitors to partake of
Pullman's hospitality, besides the
hundreds who drove in from the coun-
try or nearby towns
Shortly after ten O'clock the parade
formed at Reaney's park and marched
up Main street. Several of the busi-
ness houses were represented by artis-
tic and attractive floats, while the
plug ugly aggregation lent diversity
that was good to see. The parade
was headed by Uncle Sam himself
astride of his profusely decorated
burro, the character being admirably
Sustained by Master Clarence Harvey.
Following came the Uniontown brass
band and then the liberty car, and an
array of beauty it certainly was. The

Exception

The Republican nominating conven-
tion held at Colfax last Saturday was
pretty warm one, every nomination
being hotly contested The delegation
was divided into two factions, the
Pickrell faction and the -Pickrell-
ties In the morning the anti's
seemed to have a trihe the better OF
the argument and landed the temporary
organization, which was later made
permanent. In the afternoon, how
ever, control shifted and the PickrelI
bunch named the majority of the
ticket.
DR.. A. E. STUNT, chairman of the
county central committee, called the
convention to order. j. w. Mathews,
of this city, nominated Frank M.
Campbell, of Rosalia, for chairman of
the convention, and a moment later

taken, resulted in the election of Mr..
Campbell, he securing 1713 votes to
1888 for his competitor. Campbell
took the chair.
i George M. Swartwood was elected
temporary secretary by acclamation.
q After the appointment of committees
OF five each on credentials, order of
business and platform and resolutions,
the convention adjourned till f:30,
when the following platform and res
olutions were adopted:
We, the republicans of Whitman
county, in convention assembled, do

Be it
Resolved, That we most emphat-

the good and efficient work of our rep
resentatives in both houses of con-

railway and isthmus canal bills.
Resolved, That we also indorse our
state administration and our represen-
tatives in the state Legislature, and
especially commend our state railway
commission for its labors on behalf of
the people. The republican party
since its organization has been the
leader in all worthy reforms, the
champion of the rights of the people,
and the advocate of the American doc
trlne that the people can and should
govern themselves.
Now, therefore, we recommend that

most artistic floats was that Of the
Burgan- Emerson Co.
The plug ugly platoon was a whole
show in itself and was headed by a
REQ" automobile up-to-date. 1t
consisted of vehicle built on the
style of a push binder. 1t contained
barrel labeled "denatured alcohol, /"
and was under the able control of a
couple of we'll trained chauffeurs. For
the benefit of the wondering public
we will say that the motive power was
not a product of the Palouse coun try,
neither did it ever see any Palouse
alfalfa, but was shipped in for the oc-
casion. d. A. Williamson and his
troupe of young Americans represent
ing the typical "Palouse family"
created considerable merriment, as did
also the single plug ugies, erpresent-
ing everything from a dude to a hobo.
The judges awarded the prize for
the best float to A. B. Baker, the
Burgan Emerson Co. and Stewart
Clure Hardware Co. winning second
and third respectively. Clarence Har-
yey won first prize of SO for the best
decorated pony ridden by a child under
twelve years of age, and Charles Rus
sell the second prize of 81. The
prizes for the plug ugly parade went
to the farmers automobile, 4" the
Palouse family and Robert Fariss,
who represented Dutch hobo to per-
fection.
After the parade the people ad-
Journed to Reaney's park, where they
listened to able addresses by DR..
Woodburn of the University of Indi-
ana, and M. r. Klepper. Miss Mae
Putnam read the Declaration of Inde-
pendence.
The afternoon was taken up with
sports on Main street and a bali game

The second day of the big celebra

at the park and on Main street.
At 2:30 the Fats and Leans lined up
on the new baseball diamond for the
big struggle of the season. The
Leans were after revenge for the
drubbing received some time ago. and
the way they accomplished their pur-
pose made the corpulent gentlemen
wish they had never heard of baseball.

sports or speeches could always find
enjoyment at the dances, one being
