to the legislature. When vote on the
adoption of the resolution was taken
it was voted down by an overwhelm-
ing majority.
In accordance with the offer of P. c.
Kaufman, editor of the State Grange
paper, to publish any communications
that might be sent him in the interests
of organized labor, a motion was made
and carried that the president appoint
one man to act as censure agent before
sending the copy" to Mr.. Kaufman.
The chair made the appointment of
the man who had made the motion, L.
d. Jones, of Spokane, in the following
words: Zones. you've got a job
Although there were many delegates
seated in the convention hall who op-
posed resolution No. q, asking for an
additional organizer for the northwest,
the measure was adopted after siren
ucus debate. The opposition arose
mainly through announcement from
the American Federation of Labor that
the expense Of sending an additional
man to the west was at this time too
great to be incurred However, the
majority were of the opinion that it
could do no harm to make the request,
and the chair was authorized to ap-
point a committee to wait on the next
meeting of the American Federation
to be held in the state of Washington
this year, and see what arrangements
could be made toward securing an ad
ditioral organizer In a brief talk, Miss
Alice Lord said that she would be will

signed pledges 20 vote for him and of
from three to five other members Of
the house who have given verbal as
surances that they will vote for him.
~he Walla Walla delegation is here.
Two of the three men in the delegation
have expressed a preference for Me1gs,
but thus far none of them has been
committed by written pledge to sup
pert any candidate.
If there was ever much doubt about
the election of A. S. Ruth, of Olympia,
as president pro tenn, of the senate,
tEat doubt has been dispelled by the
members elect Of the senate now in
Seattle. Ruth arrived from Olympia
this afternoon and met a big group
of senator's here.
r. A. Hutchinson, who came over
from Spokane yesterday, reiterated his
statement that he would not be a can
date in opposition to Ruth, and the oni
possibIe candidate left is w. HI. Paul

bers of the senate believes that Paul
hamus could defeat Ruth, and it is not
believed Paulhamus will press his
claim.
Though the members of the house
are split on the question of the prlncl-
nal offices the senate has practically
decided upon the three most i'm

streaming into Blitchton. as they ex-
pressed it, ito keep the state doctors

In 1872 there was a great deal of
diarrhoea, dysentery and cholera in
fantum. 1t was at this time that
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Di-
arrhoea Remedy was first brought into
use. 1t proved more successful than
any other remedy or treatment, and
has for thirty-five years maintained
that record. From a small beginning
its sale and use has extended to every
part of the United States and to many
foreign countries. Nine druggists out
of ten will recommend it when their
opinion is asked, although they have
other medicines that pay them a
greater profit. 1t can always be de-
pended upon, even in the most Sc
