in good advertising, a number Of repre-
sentative business men, regardless OF

mentioned as being willing to have the
conventions meet there are Seattle and
Tacoma. It is said that the state ad-
ministration is desirOus of holding the
republican convention in Seattle, but
great many of the politicians are fav-
oring Tacoma or some other city.
A resolution has been prepared and
will be presented to the commercial

be appointed to take up the subject and
make an effort to secure both conven-
tions for Walla Walla.

that fully $25,OOO was left in Tacoma

for the Walla Walla people to ask that
both the republican and democratic
conventions be held here. Walla Wal
