BOOM PILES FOR
VICE PRESIDENT.
SENATOR'S ADHER-
ENTS NOW DEMANDING WEST
ERN RECOGNITION.

Washington, d. c., June 6.-The
friends of Senator Samuel H. Piles,
of Washington and George A. Knight
of California tonight launched the
boOms of the two men here for the
vice presidential nomination by the
Chicago convention. 1t is urged
that either would add strength to the
coast and in the far west. Republi-
republican ticket on the Pacific
can leaders are now looking carefully
into the political conditions in that
section of the country. 1t is consid-
cred absolutely necessary that the
Pacific Coast statesbe held fast in
the republican column.
This can be done, say the Western
ers by naming either Piles or knight
for Vice President. They further ar
que that it is time the far west was
recognized by a place on the ma
tional ticket. The voters there have
been loyal to the party for years
with little reward, they say, and it
is time some acknowledgment was
made by the eastern leaders.
